Looking For CHEAP Back Up VV PV 3-5 AMP Limits Welcome. $50 Or Less.

[Striker911]

I know its a shot in the dark a couple months ago but its war in today's market. So post them up and will take a look. Any and all VV PV's at $50 or less Maybe $60. I am without and waiting on the mail man. This is not the first time but I had to consolidate and put my faith in the wrong PV.

Here is what I found as things to consider as a back up.

This one is only 2.5 amps but the price is good so I am posting this link. If you can beat $32 in a 18650 mod 2.5 amps or over then post it up. The only reason I have not picked this up is cause its only 2.5 amps. Could still work well with a carto tank for a back up though.
FreE-Volt Variable Voltage Tube Mod

Posting this as a bottom of the barrel mod with a price of only $16. Amps are unknown but it has good reviews. Prob cause the cost.
18650 Tube Mod - Steel

Then we have this one. Its everything I want but at the highest cost of the three. I know once I buy it I am going to see a better mod (same price) or a cheaper price on the same mod. So here it is.
Variable Volt Gripper

If anyone has anything to add I would love the input and links. Thanks in advance. Also the gripper is at DV and I wonder if anyone knows of a coupon code to MV or DV (discount Vapor).
PS I know this is a shot in the dark and I will probably go with the MV Gripper but money is hard to come by at the moment and I want to make sure I have the best plan and get the best deal I can. Thanks.

Variable Voltage 1.5 Mod Kit - Smoke Anywhere For Penny's, LLC Store

This is a Young June kit. I've got one, it's a 3 amp. It will power an EMDCC right up to the 6V limit, but the liquid tastes burned at that level.

Oh nice one. I think the one that broke was a YJ but I cant be sure. It has the 4 amp limit but its always pushing 0 amps now. Might be worth the risk to give it another try. Thanks for the link.

I've been using the VV Gripper for 5 days now and really enjoy itmore each day. I don't have any issues with a wobbly 510 connector, my fire button doesn't stick and the audible click isn't too loud. Though the Battery door seems a bit wonky and could be susceptible to breaking, no issues so far. It does take a bit of pressure to slide open, I just stick my fingernail in the gap behind the door and it will open easier.

An extender really isn't needed, my Ego-510 adapter screws on easily and my Kanger T2 sits flush on the unit. Did I tell you I really am loving this thing, picked mine up @ madvapes $49.99

 

[Striker911]

Awesome. I got a crystal clear vaping coupon given to me for $25 and ended up paying $38 with a battery. Should be here today. Cant wait to try it out.

What kind is the one in your pic?

These couppla suggestions only work well if you already have appropriate batteries to keep the cost down.

I love the VariCool I got from SmokTek. You are gonna get performance out of this thing. But it will still set you back $54.95 SmokTek "SmokBox VariCool" - Custom Variable Volt Box Mod - Efficient switching regulator! adjustable 3,4,5,6.5 volt's & everything between. They do have an ECF coupon but I think it's only 5%.

The other one I'm looking at is the Ovale V8 at $24.95 For example: Sigelei Ovale V8 Body - Variable Voltage PV - 3-6 volt - black But I haven't researched this one yet.

Hey TNT. I really didn't know who made it. Someone said its a YJ but I cant be sure. I liked the 4 amp limit and the cost was only $40. I put my faith in this one PV and it was junk out of the box. This was one of them that went around people where saying was a ghost vape cause it used a 18650 in no time. I used 2 a day with mine every day over the week I had it. I dont think it was draining the battery when not in use. I think it was the + pin shorting to the rest of the cap.

So I had to pick up two more PV's so I have back up this time. I have the Telescope and the VV Gripper now. Love them both a lot more

Striker,

Your pic appears to show a Young-June chrome v2.0 Vtube. (If it were an L-Rider, it would have a red power button, not silver/chrome, and a spring-loaded positive pin in the connector).

From the looks of it, the unit went gone belly up for the same reason mine did---the 510 connector broke and the whole top connector/drip well eGo-style assembly detached from the body (it's just press-fit with a crude shim to provide enough pressure to hold it in place---not what I'd call awe-inspiring design or construction.)

Now I understand why these devices are sold with two-week warranties from the vendors.

This model was initially advertised (and still is by certain vendors) as having a 4-amp limit, but that was false (or, in more common parlance, a lie). Similarly, the SmokTech Gripper VV claims to be 4 amps but is only 3 amps, same as the Young-June chromes. That's sufficient power for vaping at most resistance/voltage combinations, but still---all these bogus claims are getting really tiresome.

For some reason, the chrome v2.0 uses battery power significantly faster than the black/silver v1.5t units. But, as you said, yours uses no power now. Mine too. LOL.

Very informative post billherbst. No question it a YJ then. I never had a way to test the actual out put but I did up voltage till it stopped feeling hotter. God only knows what it was but when I crunched the numbers it said 3.86 amps. Of course I have not way to prove it. Just seemed like a good number at the time. I did at least get my money back on it. Was not out a penny.

Get the Gripper. Its one that I ended up going with and I love it. Also went with a Telescope and it was also under $50 and kicks .... with my DID on it. I use the Tele when im home and the Gripper when I am out. Both for under $100. Cant go wrong. Once my internet connection is upgraded I will be posting a YT review on both. Until then I grade both with a B+. Dont think I could have done any better in the price range.
