What is your opinion what APV and/or Carto/Clearo/rba gives the best bang for the buck.?

I'll start by saying:
The Itaste MVP provides the best Bang for the buck in the low end. It includes a massive battery that lasts two days. Is super easy to use and fairly durable.

The Provari in the High End of VV vaping
This is the Hummer of vaping Devices. Almost completely machined and made in the U.S. When all other devices fail I will still have my trusty Provari

My personal favorite is
The Bogger Box Standard Bottom Feeder also High End.
While the Wood may not be as durable as Metal, ask any Bogger Box Standard Bottom Feeder owner if they think that the craftsmanship is excellent and the components and construction are of the highest quality, they'll concur. The problem is the MFG is way behind on his orders So they are hard to get.

I won't say anything negative about a device because no one ever should if they never tried one but the mod maker...well that's a different story. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...supplier-bogger-box-mods-28.html#post11165497

With a REO you get the best by the best.

Must just be me!

I find almost every Mod / APV / Delivery Device I have purchased to be decent and do the job I expected of it.
Cheapest for testing and emergency backups.
APV's and RBT's/RBA's for Fine Relaxed Vaping.
Ego's with Kanger tanks for on the go.

Funny thing, with all the money wasted over the last year, I went cheap just to have something in my collection that looked nice and expected avg. performance at best.

I have a mvp but haven't tried Evod yet- should I?

You should try EVERYTHING so you can say you did. Nothing like calling "bullsh_t" when someone posts something that is a crock.

With that said.... bang for the buck.... low priced SVD and MVP with topper of your choice ( carto for me)

At any price: ProVari and IBTank or Phiniac carto Tanks Carto of your choice

Dont know yet about the Semovar..... but I will.....


This is hard to do.....because there is so much Ive not tried Myself.....Like a Reo. and with such a following, they have to be great. And driping is the most enjoyable flavor getter out there..

I have a cheaper bottom feeder and didnt care for it.

    If nothing else...ECF would be a lot easier if people didn't have an opinion on something they naver tried :laugh:

    The evod isn't bad, and it was trouble free for me. I used it on the itaste vv and it was a nice match. After trying everything that interested me...I now have three reos topped with RM2s and I have sold off the other stuff save for one itaste and one mech telescope (both have been untouched since July or so). The one that shocked me the most was the day I looked in a drawer and decided someone else should enjoy the provari.

    Man has got a point, it might not be the most popular opinion around, but those devices deliver exactly like the originals with less than a 1/4 of the original manufacturer's price tag.

    I should mention something about the Itaste MVP that no one brings up and the reason why I consider it the [Arguable] Best bang for the buck in VV Mod for Plain Jane Vanilla Vaping.

    P Busardo does reviews of the other mods by Inokin and others on the Vamo. Now almost all VV are PWM [Pulse Width Modulation] (Controversial Statement) but the higher quality have filters. The Mvp has a filter that's good enough to make a flat voltage curve which puts the quality of vape at Provari Levels. When tested a Provari also doesn't show PWM but a flat voltage output curve.

    Now it should be mentioned that the Provari was superior because it fired at let's say 4.2 without Atomizer and 4.2 with Atomizer. The MVP may have dropped .1 or .2v when fired. To me this doesn't matter because I just compensate for the v-drop.

    The Vamos and most other cheap mods are using PWM without a good filter. The way it works is that the Mod puts out a very high voltage for microseconds and then a low one and the middle of it is what you set at. This gives you a rattlesnake sound on many Cartos. And many say a harsher vape. Others say that the voltage fluctuations are so quick that you don't notice. In my opinion flat voltage is better then spiked voltage.

    If you enjoy the Vamo vape, all the power to you. no right or wrong. [Taste is Subjective]. But it should be mentioned that when Busardo tested the MVP it showed a flat voltage curve same as a Provari. And I consider this to be a superior unit in this respect.

    I was considering the VTR and then I checked the PBusardo Video and when I saw the PWM graph I was dissuaded.

    So the quality of the Vape of the Itaste MVP is equivalent to a Provari that is 3-4 times more expensive.
