Need a Variable voltage PV

[kinghorna]

I am looking for a VV device and not sure what to go for.
I have an ego twist and the switch doesn't fire all the time which is annoying. I have had an Itaste and the magnet wasn't suitable (I carry my PV next to my wallet)
The things I require;​

1. Must be Variable Voltage (I like the twist for being able to adjust the voltage by small amounts)
2. Must be able to carry in my pocket without looking like a banana in my pocket
3. Battery size 650 Mah is fine (keeps the size down)
4. Dont mind a box mod, but NO bottom feeder

The size is the most important thing, after the ability to work properly
I don't ever vape over about 4 V and normally vape at around 3.7 ish but need to go down to at least 3.2 or 3.0​

Get a Provari or a Provari Mini. Otherwise, a mini lavatube gets the job done too.

Variable Volt Gripper

Its a VV Gripper. Uses an 18650 battery.

 

[kinghorna]

cheers for the reply but:
Provari mini are so heavy and are priced way over the top for a battery tube.
Lavatube mini Still a bit large for me
VV Gripper is quite simply massive to carry in a pocket (I'm going to end up with a Man Bag at this rate)
I did have a Janty stick V3 which was a great size but no VV

Anyone know where I can get this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKx-3PZ554E

Can't go wrong with the vmax. I love mine.

Again...thats massive
more this size http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKx-3PZ554E

To get performance and battery life you either need size or a pretty expensive custom built mod. The main problem with a mod like in your vid is you would probably need 4 of them to get you through the day. So which is bigger? 4 of those or one mod with a decent size battery.

There are people around that can build you one something like this .......... if you have enough cash.

Ooops, should not hurry during lunch.

I don't agree, how does an expensive mod change the battery life?
if someone made what I want (A Janty stick with VV and changeable batteries I would pay $160 for it no problem) one of the issues I have with things like the Provari is why does it have to weigh so much, when did weight = quality?

To say that I need 4 to get through the day, how do you know that? The Mah in the mod in my vid isn't stated (unless I missed it) and I never said how much I vape, a normal 650 ego last me 1.5 days
The mod in your pic still looks big to me and I would prefer to have the carto go into the body to limit height.

 

[tj99959]

I don't agree, how does an expensive mod change the battery life?

#1 by getting more battery in available space (this means less space for everything else)
#2 by more advanced ways to manage power.

The mod In the pic has a Nivel chip in it. So first you would need to talk the guy in Russia that makes them into selling you one.
Then you would have to figure out how to get the two 18350 batteries (wired in parallel), 1400mAh, in the box along with all the other stuff. (and believe me, that one has "other stuff", even a flashlight)

Unfortunately, Mamu said she isn't going to make any more mods for sale, but she did say that one would be in the range of $400 if she did.

The pic of the bottom makes it look much smaller and looks like nice quality, but still the carto screwing into the top adds length, which I don't like
Why would I need 18350 batts? Could I not just use 2 X 10440 it would last me the day and make it smaller, hopefully enough to get most of the carto inside the box too.
The Itaste is an 800Mah and lasted me fine for the day and if the cart screwed in parallel to the battery this would be great, but that is what noeone sells (that I can find anyway)

I'm not gonna answer (yet). Particularly since ya'll are mess'n with tj who's only try'n ta give ya good advice. Now...

I will ask a (seemingly/deceptively simple) question though.... Why do you want vv? You want to go from 3.7 down to 3.1? Just to adjust to some atty/carto? Hmmm???? Not saying you shouldn't... just want clarification. Do you ever go over 3.7?

I take a vv madvapes box mod to work with me ever day. It's small, works great and is easy to turn on and off. It comes in black or white.

I do have a seperate voltmeter that I use to set the voltage. The batts last me all day, the voltage stays consistant through the life of the batts and it's light. It's also very inexpensive at $35 I usually vape at 5v (with 3ohm cartos in tanks).

My main reason I use variable voltage (other than being able to turn the voltage up or down when I want/need to) is the voltage consistency... I hate when voltage drops as the batts discharge. The madvapes vv box stays consistant.

First of all to TJ apologies if I came across like that I guess I'm just getting frustrated going round in circles

I want 3.0-3.2 for first thing in the morning and then the ability to go up as the day goes on. I do go up to about 4.2 but not very often, I tend to go up n down through the day depending how I feel.

And as Donnah says the consistency with VV

I have only used boge cartomisers for ages now (used to be LR but have the 3.0 Ohm now for VV) so the VV is just preference, the best Hit/Taste result.

I seam to be on a constant quest for the opposite of what most people want, Like LESS throat hit.

I really, really want one of these. She's not gonna make any more? That's sad...

I was just kidding about the tj thing.........

Cheers but it's too big, it's 5.75 inches (with a normal cartomiser and tip its almost 8 inches) How big are your pockets?

1. Must be Variable Voltage (I like the twist for being able to adjust the voltage by small amounts)
2. Must be able to carry in my pocket without looking like a banana in my pocket
3. Battery size 650 Mah is fine (keeps the size down)
4. Dont mind a box mod, but NO bottom feeder

That. Is. Beautiful. I love it.

OK, the reason I asked about vv:

Regulated Mods (APVs) basically have either

...A) Linear Regulators (dissipate voltage diff as heat)
...B) Switching regulators (efficient..switch on/off very fast and regulate)
...C) Buck/Boost (switching) with one battery rather than two
Then there's
...D) Unregulated

The vv models are variable with an external control. Others are not vv... they are fixed (like at 5 volts).

Now.. the numbers you mentioned got me interested. The 3.0 ohm stuff should be great around 4.8 volts +/-. I use 3.2 on 5v all the time.

However... it would be good to check what type of regulator you have. If it's a 2 battery mod (like a box mod) and it is using a linear regulator... that's a bad combo at lower voltages. The greater the voltage difference from source voltage, the more you drain the battery.

So... for lower voltages like that.. I'd stay away from linear regulators. The buck/boost would work, so would switching regs.

If I were you and was using those low voltages all the time... I'd change the atty/carto at will and just go unregulated with a protected battery. Simple, compact, inexpensive, easy to replace. But that's me. It wouldn't be regulated and would follow battery voltage. FYI - The eGo units are PWM regulated so they kind-of regulate to a constant 3.4.
