Awesome device!! Goes from 3.0 volts - 6.0 volts (1200 MaH), and the greatest thing it was only 30 bucks! Various pics here to show what it looks like and size relevant to my hand which is a big hand. Can use as a pass through while you charge it so no downtime. It doesn't use the normal ego charger that screws on via the 510 threads it has a mini usb outlet on the bottom of it. I have one of the mega 4ML cartomizers on it, which is fantastic by the way. The vapor production at 6 volts is insane; however, I'll have to take my nic down to 18mg from 24mg cuz it hits like a truck lol. If anyone has any questions just ask even if you would like a pic in any certain way that would help ya out in deciding whether or not you would like to get one. it does come in a 650 Mah size however that's not enough battery life for me. This one is pretty big but that doesn't bother me.

Nice! I've been looking for a VV pass through. Where did you find one for $30?

Also is there a way to lock the voltage so you aren't accidentally turning it up and down while using it?

Thanks!

Purchased here -> Ego VV be sure to use coupon code: switch to receive 10% off

to lock the voltage you hold the 2 voltage buttons for 3 seconds and it locks them then to unlock just hold them again for 3 seconds.

I just ordered this exact same thing yesterday I got mine with a kanger evod, I want it to hurry up so bad lol! So can you really tell a difference? I have an ego with a ce5 from AQUAVAPOR that I got about 2 weeks ago and is cool but my clearos are kinda annoying sometimes they hit great and others I don't get as good of a drag and sometimes it's really leaky/gurgly sounding and others really hard to suck on if that makes sense! And so how do you know which voltage is better to use on the ohms you are using? Of all of the guides I have seen are confusing as hell haha I've been looking all day for someone who actually posted something on this specific setup so plz help me :blush:

Variable Volt devices ("VV") let you adjust the power you vape at. A regular eGo battery is usually right around 3.3 volts, to give you an idea.

The resistance of a coil is almost always at least slightly different than what it is advertised at. I think most manufacturers have a tolerance of +/- .1 ohms but I've seen many out of the box that might be even as much as half an ohm different from what they are advertised at. You can check your devices with a cheap, commonly found digital multi-meter if you think one might be off quite a bit.

The basically formula is: (volts x volts)/resistance = watts, so say if your eGo batt was putting out a steady 3.3 volts and you were using a 2.4 ohm CE5 you would end up with (3.3 x 3.3)/2.4 = 4.57 watts of power going to cooking your juice. Most people with AVP's tend to use 8 watts as a VERY approximate jumping off point for the best flavor and vapor production. The formula works in reverse too... you can find the correct voltage by taking the square root of (watts x ohms) so if you wanted to shoot for 8 watts on that same 2.4 ohm clearo you would need... 8x2.4=19.2... square root of 19.2 = 4.3 volts

"Gurgly" is usually a sign of over filling. Check the top of your battery for a small pool of juice where the tank screws on and clean it up with a paper towel or something. A couple of weeks of *steady* use on a small, silica wick based device like the CE5 might mean a good cleaning is needed. I usually disassemble mine as far as I can (be careful not to loose small o-rings, etc.!) and then either wash the guts under hot water or better yet let them soak over night in a glass of cheap vodka. Dry them *thoroughly*, especially the wicks, being careful not to pull them or you might risk shorting the coil (easily fixed with a sewing needle or toothpick), maybe a quick dry burn (no juice) to make sure it's still working and you should be good to go.

Found the ego-v 2 mega 1200 at 3 different sites in stock! Thought I'd share.. in order of cheapest to highest price :) 1. Varitube.com 2. Vapeitnow.com 3. Puresmoker.com well good luck all. I ordered mine from the first site. Had a low $33 price tag bit no coupon so anyway just wanted to let anyone still looking know what I found. K. Henning :)

I bought the one eGo V last night in a flash sale.
It's also 1100 mah. Which is almost double the size of my other VVs.
It even includes a charger & clearos & red eGo case.
You're all gonna laugh at the price. $25 shipped!
Big props to Good Prophets. They will get my business again.
I'm really excited about this PV.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but does the formula change for dual coil clearos?

Nice :thumbs: I've been looking at those, debating whether or not to get one. I had a couple of 1000mAh Twists, but one was dropped...repeatedly...and now it's dead. I have an itaste SVD as well, but I wanted something ego sized for vaping while I'm out. I think I'll be ordering one of these sometime this week after I do a bit more price comparing. Thanks for the pics!
