Looking for inexpensive Mod

[padejash]

Hi Gang

I've been steadily vaping away on my Ego and assorted variations for a quite a while now, and love it. I would like to try a simple unit that has replaceable batteries (510, ego). I remember reading about something called E-Power a while ago, but didn't pay much attention as I was spending all my money on getting setup. The wife says I can try one mod, but it better be inexpensive to buy and maintain. That's why I figure a simple unit where I only have to replace the batteries. My existing equipment (atomizers, cartomizers, etc.) should be compatible.

I have a feeling I'm looking for older technology, but the new stuff $75 and up is way beyond my limit. If anyone has any suggestions and where I might possibly get them it would be appreciated.

BTW: I live in Canada and I have heard the USPS will not allow batteries to be shipped anymore. Is this true?

Anyway, thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Maybe look at an old goat bottom feeder? About $25, then batteries and charger. Otherwise maybe a kgo?

Shipping on batteries from the us is messed up, new rule lasting through year end. Check in Canada for a battery supplier for any mod you consider.

If you prefer going to vv, i believe some of the lavatube variants have come down a lot in price. I just saw a post in the suppliers area for $32. Again, add batteries and charger.

Thanks I'll look into it.

You mean the "Old Goat" is the only thing out there? I knew I should have picked something up before prices started climbing fast, but it wasn't that long ago. Oh well.."sigh". I just hope they don't do away with Ego batteries too soon!

Mountain Vaporizer 18650 Battery Tube



-Beautiful looking mod, next on my list of "impulse buys"

3.7 Volt E Cigs, 3.7 Volt E Cigarettes | MadVapes

-a selection of cheaper mods and kits- the Bolt is part of my collection already, and it gets the job done. It's pretty sturdy, especially for the price...in a drop-test I'm convinced it would do WAY better than my Lavatube.

Just a quick addon...that Mountain Vaporizer that j4mmin42 linked to looks to be an Indulgance v2. I've used one as my backup for quite a while now and it's never let me down. They used to cost 3 times as much back in the day before the v3 came out.

Since you already have an eGo charger take a look at the eGo T-2 setup that uses a 18650 battery. Example here: *NEW* Joye APV Unit

It can charge the 18650 in place connected to an eGo charger. And will run in 3.3v regulated mode or unregulated mode starting at 4.2v and dropping voltage with use until the battery shuts off. At $30.00 it's an inexpensive way to get something with replaceable batteries, gets you a different voltage option, and doesn't require an additional charger.

If it matters code THANKYOU at TVR gets you a 10% discount.

Never liked my E-Power. Too many issues with the switch. And the plating wearing off the switches. Sorry I bought it.
