Please help me pick my 5v!!!!!

[Laguna6866]

Hey gang!
I'm looking to upgrade to a 5v PV. I am looking for one that is low maintenance, Long battery life (at LEAST 6 hours between charges), and of coarse, a GREAT value! Your input is much appreciated! Thank you-

I have lots of mods I love, but this one has caught my eye recently. Just change your voltage up to suit your tastes! Very innovative, not the cheapest, but seems a good value for what it does.

Or, for something totally different, you can get a nice 5v box mod from Ken here, he's bringing out a really small device that is variable voltage like the one above soon, as well.

Fist Packs by Nuck this has adjustable voltage from 4.3 to 5v..........

After A LOT of research I went with the GLV2, I liked the design and it has gotten great reviews across the board. Comes with a 6 month warranty and you have lots of color choices. Even after the 6 months is up Jay will fix anything that goes wrong with it for I think $12.00 but don't quote me on that.

Lots of people will point you in the direction of the Buzz as it has variable voltage. But from what I have read most people settle around 5v anyway. That and I really don't like the look / design of it. I don't like the idea of having to hook up a multi-meter and use a screw driver to adjust the voltage. When someone comes out with a nice (don't like the fistpacks) variable voltage device with a digital voltage indicator attached I will be all over it.

Good luck and have fun trying to decide what is best for your needs!

Here's a thread with a listing of 5 volt PV's available and some good discussion on them. Might help some. Went with a Fist Pack myself. Pricey, but worth it to me given the parameters I was looking for.

BTW, no digital readouts yet, but the variable volt mod I mentioned above on Ken's Box Mod site is adjustable by a thumb wheel on the device. You can dial a voltage anywhere between 0 and 7 volts. It takes 2 10440s so battery life might be limited, but being able to adjust on the fly like that might save battery life as well.

Very cool first I have heard of that mod. Can't tell does it have markings of some sort so you can tell what voltage you are at?

Oooh, very interesting. You wouldn't know of any European suppliers of the Buzz or similar Moshmarr?

I just emailed and asked for one of the 5v Sabertouch mods. Now, what batteries and charger do I need? Keep in mind, I'm completely ignorant of mods, this will be my first. I'm also ignorant of batteries. So, write in small, easy to understand words, please.

 

[Elendil]

THe best batteries for the 5v ST (I have 2) are these: AW IMR16340 550 mAh IMR CR123 size LiMN Rechargeable Lithium Battery

Get 4 of them and a charger like this: TrustFire All-in-One Charger

 

[Upinthehills]

Thank you.

 

[msroulette]

congrats Upinthehills, I love my sabers, I have one of each of the models. Please tell me how you like the GITD.

 

[doots]

You wont go wrong with a GLV and the BUZZ looks nice. Although it doesnt have a meter on it you can get use to a couple of turns will increase voltage to what you like and back again Im sure without much problem. Around 4.5 is the sweet spot..

 

[Upinthehills]

congrats Upinthehills, I love my sabers, I have one of each of the models. Please tell me how you like the GITD.

I'll let you know when it comes. I'm excited to try it!

I ordered the batteries and charger Elendil linked to, I have a lot of attys. Do I need anything else?

 

[msroulette]

nope, as long as you have 510 atty's, batteries and charger, you're all set. Get ready to put down whatever batteries you use now. My KR808 batteries are nearly obsolete now. My first draw on the saber was pure heaven.

 

[Upinthehills]

Cool. Thanks for your help!

I'd say go with the Buzz. The thing is great. I love it and someone will have to pry it from cold dead fingers to get it from me.

 

[Moshmarr]

nesf, i thinkNotCigs, the maker and, I believe, sole distributor of the buzz, ships to many countries. at least, i've seen people from Australia and Portugal on the ecf forums lately talking about theirs, check out the site, they may be able to ship it.

Jeez, that glowinthedark saber does look really good though, esp. at that price, and the glv2, fistpack and ken's varivolt mod, soooo many potentially good choices for 5v here....
