Need some advice for mod

[rbrtito]

I'm currently looking into a mod but I started to get a little confused. Right now I'm using a ego 650mah battery with a LR306 atty. What is the difference if I went with a 3.7volt mod (ex. Puresmokers, provari, etc)? Won't it be the same as my ego battery, since the ego runs @ a 3.7volt too? I know with a variable volt mod i would be able to adjust the volts if I'm using a LR/HR attys to my liking. But I guess my question really is there a difference between my ego and a 3.7v mod? And if so what would be the benefits of going with the mod?

The eGo is regulated to 3.2v until the battery gives up.A mod will give 4.2v at the connector(around 3.8 v with an atomiser on it) with a fresh battery,Quickly falling off to 3.7-3.8v for the majority of use,most protection boards shut down the battery around 3.5v
Mod batteries are less expensive than eGo batteries,that said,I still use eGo's once in a while for light flavors

Most mods, even cheap boxmods, run at a higher voltage. The batteries are also fairly large capacity, and less expensive. If you're wanting to try a mod of some sort just to see the difference, you can't beat the price of a boxmod. Most run at least a 14500 of around 900mah, start out at 4.2v, and can cost around $20. Add a set of batt's and a charger and you'll come in around $40.

The biggest advantage for me, was a box mod with a 3ml bottle (aka bottom feeder).
Very convenient and virtually zero maintenance.

No carts or tanks to spill and refill, very dependable, and inexpensive consumable parts (attys and battys)

I can't see one unless you went with, say, a high drain 3.7 big bat like a 18650 or 2650 for the battery life. If the eGo battery life isn't bugging you and you're not interested in varying your voltage I can't see a reason to give up a regulated, every hit pretty much the same (depending on your atty/carto) experience.

The batteries should hold a higher charge longer (less drop off in power) and thus a better vape for longer and the batteries are not proprietary so you can buy them at many places and for much less. I can get a good 3.7v 1200 mAh battery for about $3.98.

But if you are really serious about moving up, there is a big difference in performance in a good 5 volt PV such as the GLV2 or the variable volt Darwin and any 3.7v device. I've used 15+ PV's at all power levels. There just is no comparison between the quality, throat hit, battery life, flexibility and consistency of a PV such as the Darwin and an eGo. I like the fact that I get 21+ hours of very heavy vaping on a charge and that the last inhale is just as good as the first after 21 hours. No drop off in power or performance due to the regulated power boost circuitry.
