noob with a couple questions

[The Vaping Trucker]

Im looking at getting my first real setup and trying to decide between a few. But have some questions

The battery ranges are pretty extreme are they just for the length of charge or do batteries with higher mah do anything else for vaping?

Also does it really matter having a VV/VW or does it really matter and does it change things that much?

Im looking at either the Halo Triton starter set, the Kangertech Evod starter set, the innokin iTaste MVP 2 kit or the Innokin iTaste VV V3.0 starter set. Any pros or cons with these setups? Going to be purchasing new setup tomorrow so just trying to get some last minute info Thanks in advance everyone

I started with the Itaste vv3 and I loved it, but I kinda wish I had gotten the mvp just because I chain vape all day and the battery would start to die on me around 2 or 3pm. I have heard stories of mvp's lasting three days on a full charge. vv/vw makes all the difference, unless you want to start building your own coils then they are the only way to customize your hit, in the morning I want something a bit stronger, in the evening I want a smooth cool vape to relax me, vv/vw makes it so I don't have to change my set up, just press a few buttons and boom. you say are getting your first "real" setup, what do you have now?

out of those for kits I would recommend either innokin kit. as mentioned above the vv will last a medium to heavy vaper about half the day. The mvp2 will last most people 2 day with fairly regular usage.

Just to try vaping I bought a Criss Cross basic starter at the local smoke shop with their tobacco flavor juice. well in 5 days went from a 2 pack a day smoker to about 7 smokes a day cause I just really enjoy vaping so much more than smokes after over 30 years of smoking them. But the basic kit I got is very cheap and not consistent at all so upgrading to a much more reliable setup that can handle vaping a lot

Higher mah value equals longer use time
VV/VW don't leave home without it. worth paying more for.
MVP2 is my pick of the litter

OK.

Batteries: Rule of thumb guide: 1 hr +- for each mah of battery. A 650mah Triton battery lasts me about 5 hrs the way I vape. Variables here include how you vape, and how much you vape.

The Triton:

Very nicely built device. I got the starter kit with a 450 and 650 battery. Don't waste your time with the 450. If you get a Triton, get the 650. The only con I have with the Triton is that it is an 808d connection. If you want to stick with the Halo cartos, clearos and miniTanks then that's no big deal. But you won't be able to use the much more common 510 connection clearos and tanks without an adapter. Using an adapter is hit or miss and a real PITA.

Variable Voltage is great, and I have a VV Triton which I love. I like it so much, I gave my starter kit to my son-in-law. VV lets you adjust the power at which you vape. It allows you to taylor the vape to your liking and adjust for different juice blends and resistance atomizer coils. Well worth the couple extra duckets.

Variable Wattage is similar, but it calculates the voltage to use by the resistance of the coil you have attached. I can see its benefits, but I prefer to use VV instead of VW. I think VW is a little unnecessary.

I have Innokin tanks and I really like them. I don't have any Innokin mods, but I hear nothing but good about them. That might be a better option for you since it opens you up to the 510 world. It's for that reason I got a Provari - to use 510 stuff. I still regularly use my Triton VV, though - too nice to ignore.

 

[JavaDan]

Oh - Sorry - Welcome to Vapor World.

 

[brickfollett]

Go for the MVP2. I myself use a Provari, but I had a MVP2 for a bit and while it's a nice device, I always just went back to the Provari. The battery life is incredible on it. I scored mine on ebay for like 40 bucks. If your into box mods, go for the MVP2. Rides nice in the pocket, has ego and 510 threads, simple adjustment, can't really go wrong.

Fire button will give your depress finger a workout though. It's a pretty stiff button, but its a great way to build some muscle tone =].

They look nice with most attys too, a protank II looks great on it as well as other similar style devices. My RSST or Russian 91% would probably look pretty ridiculous on it though. If you have the money, at least take a look at the Provape website. My Provari is my only device and I have no remorse and low interest in other devices.

My buddy has a VTR, which is a pretty creative device too. Vapes the protank II better than the Provari because the draw is more open on it. something to do with the design.

Let us know what you upgrade to!

1: the mAh is how long before the battery will need recharging.
2: VW supercedes VV; it's like VV on autopilot. Once you set it for a particular liquid, you don't have to change it whenever you change your atomizer.
3: MVP2 is best bang for the buck battery; itaste vv v3 is like economy style of an mvp2.

Just goes to show how diverse us vapers are. I go through an 1100 mah battery in half a day (or less) and have even gone through one in 3 hours. Went through about 4ml of juice in that session. Lotta vaporrrr

 

[Baditude]

I'd say if you don't mind the form factor (boxy, larger and heavier than the others mentioned) go with the MVP. You'll probably end up getting one within a year any way when you upgrade from the others mentioned.

Can't go wrong with 2 - 3 days on a charge. It can be used while it is charging, too. Still small enough to fit easily in a front pants pocket, but too large/heavy for a shirt pocket. Accepts both Ego and 510 thread juice attachments. Heck, you can even charge your cell phone off of it.

 

[Storm52]

Welcome to the forum Cloud. The MVP and iTaste are great starting points. I have 2 of each. Eventually, you will want to play with vv /vw plus the MVP has fantastic battery life. They come with clearomizers which are top coil tanks. I haven't had much luck with them and for a new vaper, they can be a pia to use. If you are totally new, I would go the kanger evod starter kit and purchase an MVP afterward. The evod is all in one, comes with 2 batteries and extra coils. I moved up to pro-tank 2s and cartos with tank. Start slow and ask questions.

 

[Sucker_dad]

Personally, I would suggest you go with either of the two Innokin products. I have the Itaste vv 3.0 and it is a great device. If you are OK with the Box form factor then get the MVP 2.0 for it's longer battery life. They both have the same features and work exactly the same other than battery life. I would avoid the Halo because of the unusual threading on them. I am not at all familiar with the other product (evod) you mentioned. I guess I should say I have never actually used one, I have heard of them, whatever you get I would suggest something vv at the least.

I don't think keeping it charged would be too much of an issue since I spend 12 to 14 hours a day in a truck mainly just looking for a very good quality setup. Also something I can throw in my pocket when I hop out of the truck and not worry about breaking it. Would I need to remove the tank on most of these when I do put it in my pocket? Also any other setups anyone would suggest? looking to not really go over 100.00 us dollars on the setup. Now juice is a different story lol I see some cash going out playing with all the flavors they have out there.

I had a first gen MVP and loved it. Picked up a mvp2 a few months ago and love it as we'll. I chain vape as well and travel by air quite a bit. It's nice leaving the house for a full day of travel knowing my full charged battery will last at least 24 hrs. Even nice that I can plug it in at the airport to charge if needed. I had a provari, liked that as well but the battery life was less than a day. MVP 2s are a solid buy..

I put mine in my pocket while walking around...and have sat on it a few times (pro tank 2 attached). Didn't seem to hurt it, but you could snap it I suppose if you sat on it wrong (or are unusually large ).

Oh, a passthrough plugged into a car adapter would be perfect for driving a truck.

And no you don't have to take the tank off to put in pocket. But eGo threads are a more solid fit (plus airflow and eletrical advantages) compared to the more common 510 thread, which is why I recommend the miniprotank2 - which is also glass- no leeching from plastic into you eliquid.

If you decide on getting something like the MVP 2, which I have and love, here is a link for one at a good price from a reliable vendor. I ordered mine here and am very pleased:

Innokin iTaste MVP V2.0 Iclear 30 V2 VV/VW

I suggest you go on youtube and search "Rip Trippers Vaping E-Cigs Voltage Vs. Watts" also, research Ohms Law. Helpful stuff. This will all come together when you can connect ohms law with your battery's volts and amps with the coils ohms(resistance) aswell as figuring out how many watts your technically getting when vaping on a 4.2 battery with your coil. a bit much of information here, but get started with rip trippers and ohms law :3

 

[Nemesis18]

+1
i agree totally, youtube and lots of reading helped me significantly when I first started.

Wow - 1100mAh in 3 hours. Even going through 4mL of juice, you must be running some pretty low resistance coils.
