I think I want to get something better than I have.
As a newbie to vaping I started off a few weeks back with this:
Vision 900 Upgrade
2 x joyetech 900mah eGo-C Upgrade batteries
I now want to get into the bigger things, I need more battery time, as I am having to charge both my batteries up ever day so hoping one of the things below will help with this.

First off I need some where with worldwide shipping, this is why I am posting links to the 2 places.
I found these 2 from Zainy:
New generation lavatube V2 (18650 battery) - Zainy - Electronic Cigarettes
[h=1]New generation lavatube V2 (18650 battery)[/h]*Kit contents:
1. V V body: 1 pcs
2. 6ml DCT Cartomizer: 2 pcs
3. 18650 battery: 2 pcs
4. Charger: 1 pcs
5. Gift box: 1 pcs

And:
New generation lavatube V2 (18650 battery) - Zainy - Electronic Cigarettes[/url][h=1]New generation lavatube V2 with Chrome color[/h]*Kit contents:
1. V V body: 1 pcs
2. CE4+ clearomizer: 2 pcs
3. 18650 battery: 2 pcs
4. Charger: 1 pcs
5. Gift box: 1 pcs
New generation lavatube V2 with Chrome color - Zainy - Electronic Cigarettes
What's the difference between those 2?
I see they come with 2 batteries, but the charger only holds one battery by the looks, so does that mean the lavatube uses one battery at a time? or 2?

Are the batteries for the above 'Protected' or 'Unprotected' batteries?
I see I can also get a few batteries extra too on that site, but they don't say if they are 'protected' or unprotected' :
(2pcs/pack)18350 or 18650 battery for lavatube (lambo mod) - Zainy - Electronic Cigarettes

Will I get more than a day vaping out of the above?
Has anyone ever used that website? Are they any Good?
The price for what comes with the kits seems fine to me.

Next up is Health Cabin, I've used Health Cabin already, but their 'Mods' section isn't great for selection and is very pricy, compared to the above kits and links.

There are 2 on Health Cabin:
[h=1]Vmax Variable Voltage Battery MOD V2(Stainless Body)[/h]
Vmax Variable Voltage Battery MOD V2(Stainless Body) [D-B5 Vmax V2] - $89.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail
Vmax Variable Voltage Battery MOD V2(Brass Body)
Vmax Variable Voltage Battery MOD V2(Brass Body) [D-B5 Vmax MOD V2] - $79.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail

Both the above are $79 and $89
They have no batteries included or charger, it also says:
Note:
* Please use unprotected IMR 18350 or ICR 18350 Li-ion batteries.
Is using 'Unprotected' batteries ok? Sounds a bit dangerous to me.

So I'd have to buy a few batteries with the above at $6 a pop
Unprotected 18350 Li-ion battery for Epipe & Vmax [E-B3 DSE 601C Battery] - $6.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail

And a charger at $8.90
TrustFire TR-001 Lithium ion Battery 2 Channel Charger(US/Euro) [TrustFire-1 TR-001] - $8.90 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail

A lot more expensive for that lot.

Also will I be able to use the Vivi Nova Tank Clearomizer with the above mods?

If anyone has any advice about which would be best I would love to hear from you.
I think the first ones seem good, well the prices do.

Also if you have any better ideas or links with worldwide shipping let me know.

And this 'increase' and 'decrease' in voltage stuff is a bit confusing to me, why do you need to do that.

Sorry for such a long post but I'd like to get something ordered next week.
Thanks

The lavatube B2 is a good mod, and that is a great price. Looks to me like the only difference is that one comes with 6ml DCT cartomizers and the other with CE4+ clearomizers. Looking at the pictures, it looks like the Young June version, which many believe is the better model.

You are supposed to use protected batteries, since they specifically sell them for that PV, I assume that is what they are. You use one battery at a time.

Vivi Novas work great on them. If it is the L-rider version with the spring loaded positive post, you may want to get an ego trim ring to improve the draw (the smaller diameter pin can plug the air hole in the tank is screwed down too far).

Variable voltage- people will get into ohms law and start posting charts and stuff, but really what matters is this-

The combination of the ohms on your coil and the voltage you put through it determines how hot your coils get. More heat means more flavor, throat hit and vapor. Too much heat means burnt flavors and wicks. The difference between just right and too much can be pretty small. With Variable voltage, you can dial in just the right amount of heat for your juice and coil. Try it at a lower setting, and keep bumping it up a touch at a time until you start to get a burnt flavor. Then back it down a touch to find the ideal voltage.

Looking at the pictures, The one from Zainy is the young June version, the other is an l-rider. From reading the forums, most people seem to feel that the young june one is the better build. The review posted above gives a good idea as to the difference.

So, the Zainy one is widely considered the better PV, comes in the kit for less than the body only from the pother place.

Price wise, it is a no-brainer.

As far as Zainy as a supplier, I can't help you there.

On that youtube review he mentions that the C2 or C3, I can't remember, Clearomizers wouldn't screw on.
So I am guessing to make them work you need some kind of adaptor?
If that is the case, is it a 510 to 510 adaptor or what? or 510 to ego adaptor?
There are a few here but not sure which one to order with my lavatube:
510 to ego adaptors with your lavatube and VV mod - Zainy - Electronic Cigarettes

Any help would be great as I want to order this asap.

Could anyone else give their feed back between the
New generation lavatube V2 with Chrome color - Zainy - Electronic Cigarettes
and
Lavatube V4 £39.95 - MODS & Advanced - Lavatube V4 Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid

I want to buy one of them tomorrow but just don't know which one to buy

Either the 510-510 or the 510-ego should work fine.
