LOVE my Riva but....

[Tallmaan84]

Tax Season is coming up and Daddy is getting a new present. Haven't figured out which mod is right for me. I looked at the Provari and the Xhaler and both are appetizing but i also love the look of the box. Can someone point me in the direction of a good pros and cons thread or what some of the strengths and weaknesses of these mods are? Also will be using the tank system with inserted carto in them as well so all day vaping is KEY!! I literally vape all the time when im home so battery MUST last all day to keep upkeep to a minimum. Thanks in advance for your response.

I run through 6 - 7 ml on either the notcigs Buzz Pro and Infinity between battery swaps, at 5V/8Watts. They are nice VV tube mods, simple thumb wheel to adjust the voltage. No LCD display or other bells and whistles, just the wheel adjustment. Notcigs makes pretty rugged VVs, well known to take a beating. They also have a simple positive off function, just slightly unscrew the bottom to break contact.

I'll look at them as well. Thanks!!

You might want to look at some 18650 mods too, if you don't mind using LR stuff it will last you a day at least, some people get two days out of them. The Silver Bullet is well liked.

Where can one look at the Famed Silver Bullet. I don't want to google that since for us here at the hospital that means something different lol.

altsmoke.com for the SB. I really like my notcigs VV PVs, but the SB has a lot of happy users, undoubtedly a solid device.

(I'm holding out for the new notcigs smaller VV PV at year end, a complement to the larger ones that I have now )

Tax season? Isn't it November?

Anyways, I got this VV mod from MadVapes as a way to test the waters before looking at the more expensive stuff. It doesn't have bells and whistles, but I was in for the mod, 2 batteries and charger for just over $40 or so. It's been awesome - I can see why people swear by VV. I've been taking my Rivas during the day to work, and usually use the box mod when I'm home at night. I charge every 2-3 days using it like that - could probably go longer but I'm pretty good about charging batts when I have a chance.

It will be in January . I like to be prepared and do the research now instead of making an impulse buy, and thanks for the great info .

+1 for the Silver Bullet suggestion.

+1 for notcigs VV PVs...best bang for the buck.

The advantage of a box mod is that it will sit up on a table or desk or any flat surface. I find that convenient for finding it if you need to put it down. I would look at the warranties on the more expensive mods. I bought one mod for 80 dollars and it was unfixable after 4 months. Well maybe someone could fix it but the vendor that made it couldn't. Wish I would have known that. But then 80 dollars is really inexpensive when comparing all the mods. Only now I am out $80.

Not fun when things break, though I live in a state where cigs run $9 and higher per pack. Four months is about $0.7/day, much cheaper than smoking, after adding in scissors and cartos or atties.
