Need some help on choosing a new vape

What's your vape budget?
I swear by two devices.
1. MVP 2.0 by Innokin. This little power house comes with a 2600 mAh battery, has a range between 3.0 and 5.0 volts and is Variable Wattage and Variable voltage. The output of the device is limited to 5.0 volts and 11.0 watts which is a little on the low end but it's price point ($40 to $45) is hard to beat, and because the battery and charge circuits are built in, you don't have to tote around a lot of extra batteries and an external charger. This is my go to device when I have to leave on an overnight trip. Sure it's disposable, but once the battery stops holding a charge, just replace the whole thing.
2. At the other end of the spectrum is the ProVari. I have three. I don't know why. I only really need one. That's how good they are. No other e-cig company offers a 2 year warranty on their equipment and no other company has post warranty support. This gives you an idea of how durable they are. There are plenty of other "tube mods" out there that have more features, but most of them are not built to outlast the batteries you put into them. There are 2.5 to 3 year old ProVari's still being sold in the classifieds for over half of what they were purchased for. Why? because people trust the durability of a 3 year old ProVari more than a brand new Vamo.
Of course there are other options, but IMHO these two are the best you can get. If you are sub-ohming then by all means you should checkout some of the 20W and 30W options. But if you still vape between 6 and 15 watts, then I think the above two options are really your best options.
Those who usually say a ProVari is not that good have never owned one. Are they more expensive? Yep, but they are built to last. And they are the most accurate device bar none. There is no device that delivers more accurately or consistently under load.
If you want to provide me a link to a device that is more accurate than a ProVari, I am willing to listen.
On a scope a ProVari consistently performs +/- .02 volts from it's set voltage and does this throughout it's discharge cycle. I have yet to see ANY chipset that compares to this. All other chipsets are +/- .1 volt. This is a factor of 5 times more accurate.
There are people who have owned ProVari's that have moved on to Mech's or other devices, because their vaping habits have changed. But even those people recognize the quality of a ProVari for what it is.
Whether someone thinks that a ProVari is "worth" the expensive is entirely subjective. Debates on whether or not a ProVari is "worth" it occur here and other forums ad nauseam.
But one can not argue it's track record or it's performance. These are matters of public record and not up for debate..

If you are after ... stares the 134 is the rig for you. Personally I don't get it.
The VTR is good wife and SIL have one and really like them. The VTR limits the tanks you can use (Greater than 19 mm tanks require the use of an adapter).
Not a fan of either of your choices.
Hate to join the Provari Sales Force, but I'd have to agree that in the price range you are considering it might be what you want. (Oh that really hurt)

My lavatube types were good to me, all 3 of them. Then I bought a vamo, glad I did because within 6 weeks I finally broke down & bought a provari.
From your question if appears that you want a device that takes an external battery.
Reminder many other things: e.g. fire button, internal electronics, ego/510 connector, internal wiring; can go wrong with a vaping VV/VW device besides its internal battery reaching end of life.
I have the taste 134 - would I buy it again - nope. Wished the mini-came out first.
I now find myself more frequently grabbing the device which has a built in battery: itaste MVP 2, vv/v3/EP rather than one of the other two itaste devices I have: SVD and 134. It is just easier when one spends 12-14 hours a day on the computer. Gotta love USB.
So - for your two choices I would recommend the mini 134. Love the gatling gun look.

I have an iTaste 134 mini. It's a nice piece of kit, but I'm not sure that I would get it again if I was in the market right now. It works well and hasn't let me down, but there's just something about the form factor that isn't right.
I'd buy a Sigelei 20W (again) if I was considering a VW device. It does subΩ, and is adjustable from 7-20w. Most importantly, it's isn't pulse width modulated and send out a nice, clean DC signal. It's also MUCH cheaper than the iTaste (if you get it from Fast Tech).
