New PV? Please HELP!

[ithinkbutn2m]

Well, in the last month or so I have tried out several different batteries.

First I got suckered into the GreenSmoke. Terrible experience...screw those batteries.

Then I started using K808 models from V4L. The customer service is AWESOME and their products work like a charm. I haven't had a single problem with them or their batteries since I started purchasing from them.

My last venture was the Riva 901. I like the fact that I can use my cartos from my K808 on my Riva 901. I bought an adapter to turn it 510 and tried out the 510-T system which was okay.

Now I want to get something special. Something that I can have for a long period of time and use daily. Long battery life and higher voltage would be nice. 5-6V if possible. I don't think I have been vaping long enough to throw out a TON of cash for something like the ProVari (although I almost purchased one just the other night) so nothing REAL pricey. A 510 connection would be sweet too.

Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?

All the truly long lasting mods are in roughly the same price range as the Provari. Mechanical mods like the Precise P16 and REO, GGTS, and Galileo can be fixed on the fly by you if anything goes wrong which very rarely happens in the first place. The GLV's are supposed to be very good mods too. If build and durability are truly important these are a few of the ones worth saving up for.

What is GLV?

What do you think about the Prodigy V3.1?

You already Mentioned the Provari, but there are other VV PV's out there at a lower price range such as the Buzz Pro and Infinity Pro, both are very reasonably priced and I have not met an owner yet who does not love them. For looks though the GGTS, Galileo and Precise Models are definitely beautiful PV's indeed. They are Pricey but they are also very well crafted and extremely versatile as well. The versatility factore has got to go to the Galileo though as you can out danged near anything on that sucker, it comes with like five adapters or something crazy like that.

These are just a few of the options out there. There is a website dedicated to listing existing and up and coming mods too if you care to peruse that site for ideas.

Honestly, I would recommend chucking the money out to get a nice variable voltage mod, like the Provari. Variable Voltage isn't for everyone, it will spoil you, but, if you buy top of the line now, it might save you quite a sum of money in the long run (instead of consistently upgrading ).

As many have said already, there are many excellent mods at very reasonable prices. Check that website out to get an idea of a great deal of options available to you.

Another good place to look is the Video Reviews of your selections on youtube. Granted, take the content of most of those videos with a grain of salt, however the benefit to seeing the video reviews is that you can get a better idea of how the device actually looks in someones hand. It gives you a better size and ergonomic perspective as to how it may fit your grip for comfort or even if you would want to be seen in public with it.

Thank you very much Levitas for the link I was getting it and when I came back to edit you were already all over it

Just another thought for you.

A little off topic, but, OP: 1 month into vaping (eGo 650mAh batteries, which were fine, hell they got me to quit smoking ), I went ahead and chucked out $200 ($240 with batteries and charger, etc...) for a MonkeyBoxx Bottom Feeding Variable Voltage mod. Why? Because I saw all of these options (as you probably are now), and I really wanted to try it all! I wanted Variable voltage and I really wanted to try bottom feeding, so, I spent that CASH!

I think the first thing is to figure out what exactly you think you might want to have in a pv. Do you want the versatility of variable voltage? Do you think that you want to try out bottom feeding? Are you more into tube or box mods? Wood or metal? Obviously, price is a factor here. There are SO many options for you, to narrow down what you think you'd expect or desire out of a pv, could make or break any suggestion any of us could give

Very well Put Levitas. Hence why I changed my signature from my old faithful Smoke Free Counter to the Quote it has now. Chance Favors the prepared Mind. I am just very very glad to see a person actually do some honest to goodness research before jumping in on all the bandwagons I jumped in on and ended up spending a ton of dough before I found my Three Amigos

The Provari with DC SS MAP Tank
The Go Go Pro
The Ego-T 1000mah batteries and cone with Dual Coil 2 ohm Clearomizers.

The Perfect Combo for me

(Oh yeah, soon it will have to change to the "Four Horsemen" Like a fool i tried out another PV at a Vape Meet last weekend and fell in love with it. The VMOD by Vapeage. AWESOME!!)

The Prodigy V3.1 is supposed to be a very good mod. I haven't tried it but many who have really like them. The GLV stands for Great Lakes Vapor and their mods are supposed to be very durable, I'm still waiting on mine which is due to arrive tomorrow so I can't honestly speak on them myself yet.

All I can say is that the only mod that I have personally tried so far that works the way people say it does, and should, is the REO Mini. Every other mod I've tried so far has broken in some fashion within 2 weeks and I have not used any of them in any abusive situation or out and about, as I didn't really trust them from the beginning. If a mod can't handle the press of a button without breaking it goes right back to the maker now. I live in an environment where I need my PV's to work 30 or more miles from nowhere for days on end and so far the REO Mini is the only one I would trust out in the middle of nowhere with me. After what I've been going through with all these latest and greatest mods I can only say that pure mechanical mods are about the only ones that can be trusted in most any situation you can throw at them. Of the mechanicals if you want versatility I'd suggest the GGTS and Galileo as they can handle multiple types of batteries giving you a mechanical variable voltage option.

Like Levitas said you really have to do your research to get to a point where you think something is a good fit for you but even then you might find it isn't quite right or you just got a lemon, like I tend to do quite often. So what you're doing by asking is good to get a feel for what other people have found that works for them but in the end it's all up to you to decide. Good luck on your search.
