I agree with that Mike. Before you came out with variable voltage I made and used 5 volt fixed PVs and since then they are in my junk box or have been given away. I wouldn't have or wish a fixed voltage mod on anyone. Variable Voltage is the only way to go. If you buy other fixed first it will end up being wasted money once you find a Buzz or Infinity. If I had someone starting out in vaping I'd get them an Infinity and start them out right. The rest of them are just glorified 7/11 store disposable ecigs.

What most people do not understand is that as a MFG you have to have a good markup on what you MFG , the overhead costs are huge even in China ( much less but still a lot ) , I have to have multiple times in order to even THINK about MFG a product ( a fact of business ! )

China makes these things at very low costs and make large amounts of them , this is why an Ego can be the price it is , in the USA we have the importing costs and assembly costs so the costs go WAY UP FAST .

Thanks for the input. I have decided on the Buzz Pro, but it is always nice to here positive feed back once you have decided. I already feel like one of the gang, and I have never even held one. I am hoping this will be the first and the last mod I have. New versions not included. I see so many with tons of mods, If they are doing it because they are really dedicated and can afford to, more power to them. But if they did it because they were looking for one they liked better, well I do not want that to be me! Every time I see someone with a huge collection, the first thought is "Wow that must have cost a TON of money"

I decided after I turned 41 it was time to treat myself to a nicer car. I will not do loans so have always driven a $19,000 or less car. So, deciding I deserved it... I went out and purchased an Audi TT. Now I have buyers remorse and feel VERY poor. I am not upset about the car it is awesome. But I do not want to spend $1,000+ looking for the right mod.

It is time to register it tomorrow and I need to come up with a good idea for a vanity plate.

I agree with you. Plus even though I have a few of them the only ones I use of them are the notcig ones. You can only vape one at a time and the Buzz with variable Voltage is like having all of them in one. I can produce the same vapor, taste, and throat hit with a Buzz as I can with any other pv I've tried. It should have been named the mod with a thousand faces.

I hear what you are saying about the Infinity, I wish it has been my first and I haven't even tried it. If it had I bet I would not be watching the classifieds every day to see if all the stuff I tried and didn't like has sold yet! The problem is I do not want to spend $92 dollars on the kit, then have to pick up a few attys to have her try it and then not use it. My mom saw my husband and I vaping in 2009. She was so excited to quit that week she spent at least a few hundred dollars on liquid, 510 attys and batteries (could have been more I do not remember) and used it all 4 1 week and stopped. I tried to get a hold of her attys to sell in the classifieds, but she does not remember where she put them. After picking up attys to go with the Infinity kit and shipping etc, it will be over a $100 investment that will be wasted if she does not use it!

Of course I can have her send it to me... but if that were the case I'd rather just save my money for the buzz AND the infinity is not in stock any way.

I also think beginners are turned off by the bigger doesn't look like a stinky stick equipment. Just My Opinion!

P.S. I wonder if you could have "IBUZZ" on the plate? You know what? Dumb of me to ask. Of course they wouldn't, lol.

I actually thought of something with BUZZ... they might allow it, as what is allowed is determined state to state and we are pretty liberal here. Buzz would be cool for the TT as although it is REALLY fast it does not have the nice engine tone you find in a hot rod, does zero to sixty in about 5 seconds. But because it is a 4 cylinder with dual turbo it makes more of a Buzz sound then a purring. Problem is, what if I do not like my buzz...

The husband wants me to go with MYTT. He has a tacoma and his plate is MYTACO. But I think it is lame (and his plate is even lamer because no ever gets it) The worst part is I have to come up with choices in case one of them is a no go. The things I have come up with is 'MYXTTC"

STOP VAPING?!?!?!?!
Wattchootalkin' bout Willis?

I don't have any immediate plans to stop vaping... I have to figure out how to stop smoking the stinky sticks first (Can't cut down to less then 2 to 4 a day) But one day in the distant future I wouldn't mind being able to get rid of all my bad habbits (make room for new ones.) Quit biting my nails about 5 years ago, working on the cigs now. I don't know if I'll be able to stop vaping, but if I can...

So I find myself again browsing notcigs.com for no reason as I know the buzz pro is not ready yet. What is the deal with VVPV (or any of the box mods for that matter) while they look slick (The VVPV certainly does look all black and shiny) But the box mods all look as if they would be uncomfortable to vape and hard to get around with. Don't you feel silly toking on one in public. I still feel uncomfortable vaping on my PV in front of people, couldn't imagine wipping that out at a dinner party!

Some of them I know what you mean but it wouldn't bother me. I was using the Buzz at a pretty nice formal get together yesterday and not one person even looked funny at me. Of course I don't blow vapor all over the place. I try to keep it polite and respectful.

OK.. so they are not embarassing to use, but they do not look comfortable to hold or travel with! Doesn't look like you can stick it in your pocket.

That's where mine goes, right in my pocket. The only problem I have is if I don't take it out of my pocket before I get in the car and start driving then when I pull it out I pull the drip tip off first. I think people are hearing enough about them that they're not as surprised as before.

I am still looking for some kind of clear tank. I checked Clouds of Vapor as Bov suggested, but they are ALL out f stock. It does not look like there are any on notcigs.com and IkenVape is stilled closed :-(

I ran across these.

Stormy's mods

Has anybody tried them? Are they any good? Is the vendor reputable? They seem to make mention of a mini model, but I do not see it. While 4ml sounds really cool (and will work for the husband who uses one juice and certainly will appreciate the size on a hutting trip) that sounds a little big for me as I like to switch my juices. These also look cool because you can refill without a syringe (just remove the top) although it looks like you can't use other drip tips.

Also what do you guys suggest for the ohms. What is best for the Buzz?
