So I ordered a red lava tube v2. Wonder if that was a stupid thing to do since I already own a provari.
As someone has said before, you can never have too many backups.
I have a Provari, Silver Bullet, and BB. The SB & BB came before the Provari, and then it got 95% of my attention when it arrived. I love it to death, but there ARE times when I wish I had a smaller V V mod the size of the BB for when I make a quick car run to the convenient mart or grocery store.
I looked at the eGo VV14500 (too long) and the L Rider Robust VV14500 (poor reviews and short battery life). I finally decided to get a Smoktech VV Gripper for $50. It's small and light, comfortable to hold, stealthy, nice LED display, ohm & battery reader, and the fact that it uses an 18650 battery for all day use is a plus. I figured for the price I couldn't go too wrong. Like many of the Chinese mods that use pulse width modulation circuitry, it hits hotter than set, especially in the lower voltage range, but I expected that before I even received it from reading its reviews...I've compensated by dialing down the voltage.
I would really have wanted a Provari Mini for the above out-and-about excursions, but I couldn't justify the $175 + batteries at this time. Hopefully on my 1 year anniversary of quitting cigarettes I can treat myself to one.
