Need a new setup

[nilbog]

Hey all. I am a new member but have been browsing the site for several months. The information provided here has been invaluable to my transition from traditional analog cigarette smoking to vaping. I know this is going to be a loaded question, but I want to ask it anyways. I currently have a Ego style setup that I have really enjoyed, but I am looking to upgrade. I know the obvious choices in VV are the Provari and the Darwin, but what is your favorite setup? I was also looking at the Buzz Pro. I see that it is ECF approved. Also what are the biggest advantages to each setup. I don't really have max price. Any advice would be much appreciated, and thanks again for everyone's knowledge and for helping me to stop smoking cigarettes. Today is my one month anniversary!

Hello nilbog I tried a few different e cigs started with an ego then got a screw driver then a lava tube then a bolt and finally a pro vari I mostly use the pro vari indoors and the dolt out and about so all in all it's not just about variable voltage but what you find suits your needs as for atomizers tried lots again but now use my odysseus with the pro vari and the genisses maxi on the bolt and find these suit me both so all you need to do is find what suits you

i have owned both a provari and buzz the provari wasn't for me so i got rid of it i still have my buzz both are solid choices

Thanks for the reply. I hadn't seen the Bolt yet. Good price too. I've heard good and bad things about the lava tubes. I probably should have mentioned this, but I have found that I like a standard resistance carto or atty. I don't like the lrs or the dual coils I feel there is too much throat hit for me. I like a cooler vape I guess. Does this mean that VV might not be the best choice for me?

 

[nilbog]

Cool thanks. I'm really liking the buzz. I like the whole idea of the wheel versus having to set the voltage.

 

[britshgigolo]

The bolt is standard 3.7 volt and with the right set up performs as well as variable device with the rebuilderble atomizer you coil to suit your needs and if I do use a carto tank it would be at 4 to 4.2 volts so variable volt you can tweak to your need if that maks sence never tried a buzz but do like the look of them and sure will try one

. . . I don't like the lrs or the dual coils I feel there is too much throat hit for me. I like a cooler vape I guess. Does this mean that VV might not be the best choice for me?

No, it means that VV probably IS the right choice for you because it will allow you to crank the voltage DOWN to whatever level gives you the vape you like.

Ahhh great point Pappy! I was only thinking of going up but forgot about the ability to go down. Thanks for the advice

What I would say is get a cheap vv to try then if you fill it's for you then look for somting that's going to stay with you don't just jump in as lots don't like them

lavatube or lavatube mini with vivinova atty is a sweet setup. i think someone said their onsale somewhere for 52.00 or something. thats a great deal for the starter kit. after all the money ive spent, this is it for me.

Edit: i vape regularly, and the lavatube battery lasts about 1.5days ... And it comes with two. Wish I would have known the battery life was so good, i would have gotten the mini with a little less battery and smaller.

 

[britshgigolo]

I would only say make sure it's a v2 Lavatube as the first ones have there problems and limits but was a great device to start out with and to try vv and all it opens up

To buy a Bolt or something along those lines would only be a slight upgrade. Apolloecigs has the VTube (same A's LavaTube) starter kit starting at $53.00. There's also a 30 day money back guarantee and a 1 year warranty. A solid deal IMO.

1.5 days I go through 2 18650s on the Lavatube or provari in a day and that's a good day lol

 

[nilbog]

Yeah I like the lavatube style. Thanks for the feedback from everyone really appreciate it!

 

[frigginrights]

have you thought about the silver bullet with the kick? I have it and love it. The only down side is that you'll go through a couple to several 18500s a day depending on how much you vape. I always have my little e cig kit with cartos, atties, juices, drip tips, and batteries everywhere I go so thats not a problem for me

I personally also just upgraded from the ego twist. I went with the provari. What convinced me was the consistent positive reviews and above and beyond customer service. Helps that the satin silver provari with a DCT looks awesome. Any choice I'm sure you'll be happy with. For me I went with the tried and true.
