Don't fear the rechargeable battery thing. It's really more simple then people let on. It is also much nicer to not have to worry about how much charge you have left. Just carry an extra batt. I started with an ego twist, then went to an MVP, followed by an innokin 134. I loved the ability to change the battary when the old one went dead, on the 134, But finding 18490/500 battaries was impossible around here so I was using the 18350's and was changing battaries all the time. So on a whim i stopped at a shop while out of town and Bought a provari, and a few 18650's and a charger. I really wish I had done that before I bought the MVP or 134. Not that either are bad in any way it just the simplicity and durability of the provari. I definatly get a better vape with either the iclear 30s or a protank 3, they are plenty simple. The thing is I would have saved money had I just ponied up the cash for the provari in the first place.

And a charger :D That's the difference. With disposables you get a bit of extra convenience because you only need a USB cable.

Bought a provari, and a few 18650's and a charger. I really wish I had done that before I bought the MVP or 134.
I actually returned a ProVari Mini and prefer my MVP2. :D By the time I loaded up on spare 18350's and a charger I had more crap to carry around and worry about than I cared to mess with. Yes, there are extensions available for larger batteries and I might go that route one day.

But there's certainly an appeal to disposables - especially the MVP2 at 2600mah. Zero battery management throughout the day and no need to ever rotate cells. Plus it's a pass-through device so you can still vape and charge at the same time.

I definatly get a better vape with either the iclear 30s or a protank 3, they are plenty simple.
A lot of people say this and I just don't understand it. A "volt" is a volt regardless of where it comes from. Yes, the ProVari has unequaled consistency when delivering those volts but I could never tell the difference in the long run. My Kayfun works the same at 4 volts no matter what device I put it on.

But I will say the ProVari is really built. It's a downright pleasure just to hold one and I completely understand the following it fosters. Nothing beats a fine piece of engineering. :) I am really looking forward to see what version 3 offers.

With all the regs that may be coming,, get a replaceable battery mod.
The Vamo's are fine as well,, get either the v3 or v5
And they have the eGo and 510 built in.

But ultimately the Provari and don't look back.
They are simple to use. and plenty of places have the adapters.
Check MadVapes for one.

Also, learn how to build coils and stuff and get an Hcigar Kayfun 3.1 ES
they are easy to build after a little practice and a lot of info out there to help
They are, imo, one of the best tanks around.
Very efficient delivery system.

You can also look at the Mechanical's, there isn't much to them, straight full power.

Personally, with all the deeming reg's and the hard core legislation on bans attempting to be pushed through, I should be set.

I have a whole lot of NIC in my freezer.
A White Provari Mini
2 x Hcigar Kayfun 3.1's
A lot of Vivi Nova Mini's and heads that I know how to rebuild.
An iGo-L that works fantastic when setup properly.
2 Vamo's a v2.5 and a v3
a couple Vision Twists.
The ANTZ can kiss it.

I bought 3 of the 30 amp bat's for when I'm vaping at home. They hit harder and have stronger TH and Vape smoke. I can wear one of them out in a few hours. I bought 3 of the ones from altsmoke.com. Those things I can go 2-3 days without needing charging. So I use those when I go out.

A PBusardo Review - The VAMO V5 - YouTube

Doesn't look like Pete Phil did a Zmax v5 review. but watch that one about the Vamo

But this is an old one...
I doubt that much has changed, and they are about on par with one another.

You can look for other reviews as well.

But also see this... to understand why Provari in the long run.
