Please recommend a vaping device for me. Advanced one.

Just my 2 cents on this since I had just recently upgraded from my old little cig like 510 manual I got way back when I got into using e cigs, and wanted to get into what I call the "real" type e cig not just a toy e cig. Anyways I did alot of reading and watching vids and ended up getting the Lavatube epic storm. Now I love the thing, its a night and day difference, however the more and more I think about things the more and more I am thinking to get a Vamo. The whole thought of having VV and VW is just on my mind.

Dont get me wrong, I love my lambo, it works great, and being able to set my voltage and play around with different ohm wicks has been a great experience, and I have slowly tweaked into what I like and quickly had learned settings/combos that just didnt work for me... However with all this play ability I find myself bothered with the reoccurring thoughts of why just have the option of VV when I could have the option of VW as well!

Now this could also just be my personality, I just like having options and playing around and having options, the more the better... Which is why if I could go back and redo my order knowing what I know now, I would have gone with the Vamo, not because the lambo isnt awesome, but just for the fact its another option to try. As the more and more I get into mods and expanding my experience with e cigs, the more and more I am finding its not about others review, or other peoples tastes, its about finding and tweaking until you get to what you find is the best experience. Now perhaps I will find that I dont need to use or wont find anything in the VW mode that works for me, and perhaps find that it was all for nothing and that the way I have things set up atm with just using the VV options my Lambo provides will be perfect and the VW option will never be used... However why end up like me wondering and then being like me having to buy yet another item just due to that one issue why not get it all... So my 2 cents is go for the Vamo.

And I know I dont "need" the Vamo, as I am very happy with what I have however I do want to get a Vamo... Course I know if I buy one right away the wife will get upset for spending another 75-80 bucks (vamo and shipping cost). So if anyone has a Vamo they are not using and want to part with it send me a pm and we can perhaps work out something... great I think I just realized I am getting bit with the bug so many mention on the forums of always searching for that next addon and perhaps it never being enough haha.

Thank you so much for your input all. I've taken all on board. I can't make up my mind on the automizer.

One more question, do I need flat top or nipple/button top batteries?
The efest ones are a lot cheaper really, and are available....
I am still looking to locate the charger, out everywhere I looked, or too far away, so I have to wait longer

If you only want to buy once get the Provari. Also you can buy an extra 1 year warranty from Provape. I treat my 2 Provaris very rough and they always preform perfect.

 

[llamainmypocket]

I don't know what all that means as I'm new to mods but the Eroll and ego-c twist are an awesome combo. I'm loving the variable voltage, is not too big, its got a good look to it and doesn't stand out. The eroll is ultra portable and discrete and gets great throat hit for such a tiny device. The two devices also use the exact same atomizer so I can dry burn to clean the eroll even though it's automatic.

 

[btlarue]

Either vamo, lavatube 2, or provari. Good devices for sure

I own a evic. Then a week and a half ago I got a provari. The provari is way better IMO. Battery life 50+ hrs and I'm a med to heavy vaper. No idea how it lasts that long. I'm using the 18650 battery's. that has something to do with it. Or I got mutant battery's. the size is a tad smaller than my evic but it has nice weight to it. It's built like a tank and the build is way better than any mod I've ever used. The vape is more lush with it. As for delivery devices I'm a kanger mt3 fanboy. No leaks no fuss great draw. I know you don't like them but I can't recommend anything eles sorry. Welcome to ecf.

Just placed an order for a ProVari. I originally purchased the Sigelei and it seems to work alright but towards the end of the battery life the performance drops off significantly. Now I am trying to decide on the delivery system. We fit some cheap DCT knockoffs at a local shop that seem to be working alright but I am starting to leant toward the New GG model. I want top notch equipment that is rebuildable and self serviceable. My BS is in electrical engineering so I don't think I will have a huge learning curve with the rebuildables. I'm torn between the new GG, atty pro a and some cheaper models. Advice for use with a provari?

Ok, so after going through the thread several times re-reading and trying to assimilate the info, I am inclined to try the Vamo V2 VV/VW and then choose a rebuildable automizer to try out my skills(not gone into researching yet for this part). Maybe one day I'll get a mechanical one too(I said I am not a collector )
I found the stainless steel version Vamo pretty cheap so I think it's worth a try but the few online shops I came across are out of both the batteries and charger so I am stuck and now getting really impatient after all this wonderful information

Anyway, are these the batteries you would recommend? I understand I can use the Vamo with one, or two 18350 or alternatively 1x18650? Is it worth getting the 18650 single one, or can I stick to several 18350?

AW 18350 IMR High Drain Battery
and this:
AW IMR 18650 - 2000 mAh High Drain Battery

And charger:
Sysmax Nitecore i2 Charger

For attys, these are the suggestions from you guys and girls:

cartotank
terminator atty
Kanger Pro
Aga T+
Igo L

From the shop where I can buy the Vamo they have these rebuildables below. Does anyone have any more recommendations in regards to this before I bite the bullet and place my order(I am definately lacking patience )

Rebuildable Atomizers Ireland - Galway - The Best Shop Limited

I would still suggest trying to hunt down those Panasonic Hybrids. They're 2250mah vs the 2000 of the AWs. Thats about an hour more vape time (mileage may vary)

Edit: Don't stack your batteries. The risk of catastrophe goes up by a magnitude of 10. Just get 18650s for long mode and single 18350s for short. I personally have 2x 650s and 4x 350s for my Vamo. On an RBA a 350 lasts me about 4-6 hours. The 650s last 8-12+

I would stay away from the Terminator, I believe it requires the use of non-resistance wire which is kind of a pain. The Aga T+ and IGO L are both amazing at their pricepoint. One to drip, one to fill and vape for a few hours.

If you're thinking of a carto tank, wait. IBTanked is going to be putting out 22mm tanks that will sit flush on a Vamo. (Ibtanked.com)

As far as the Kanger Pro goes, I'm not 100% sure if it will thread onto a vamo without an ego extension. I know for sure the Vision style clearomizers all fit but they do have plastic tanks. I guess it depends on your flavors

Best of luck, be sure to hit up the Rebuildables section on this forum for lots of informative posts for setup on the AGA-T and the IGO-L. They're both very popular devices because of the price and quality.

if you can afford it and want the best. ProVari is the only way to go. made in the usa.
if you get a ProVari, you won't need anything else.
except maybe another one.
otherwise about anything will heat juice ( they're all chinese too )

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Also another vote for the Vamo 2 by a former ProVari owner. Lots of functions and am very pleased with my purchase. If buying extra 18650 batteries I highly recommend the Panasonic 18650 3400 mah. Based in Hong Kong delivery was 11 days and 2 batts for $17.95 is amazing.
$17.95 Panasonic NCR18650B Rechargeable 3400mAh 3.7V 18650 Lithium Batteries 2-pack - authentic cells / 2-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I ordered 4 X 18650 2250 mah and 2 X 18650 3400 mah Panasonic Batteries from them for less than $40.00 incl shipping.

 

[bilbonetta]

Thank you all. I've decided on the Vamo and I'll get a charger and battery types that will suit the Provari as well,should the Vamo goes bust one day or I don't like the performance(I don't care about the looks much). My hubby is going to get a Provari for himself soon enough so I'll get the chance to try both of them!!!

I really appreciate the information all of you gave me. Thank you very much!

Although quite large it's a great PV. It's your choice but the most durable finish is the SS. Here's a PBusardo review to give you an idea of the size. Realize this is Version1. The Vamo 2 has a larger spring/ no "rattling" and they replaced an inner washer.



Best of Luck.

 

[Red_Bird]

If you want just one device? A Provari or a Reo Grand.

If you'd like a few, rather then just one: $40 bracket (VAMO), $60-65 bracket (Zmax V2 or Itaste MVP), $80-100 (Itaste SVD, Lavatube 2.0, Evic)

If you like to fiddle maybe a mechanical mod and RBA's are your path to vaping bliss.

 

[D4rk50ul]

If you are ready for rebuildable Atomizers, I highly recommend a Reo Grand with a Hornet or ERA bottom fed RDA. You won't miss the VV on a coil around 1ohm and the build quality/ease of use can't be beat. Also the quality of vape will blow away anything you can put on top of a vari.

Yes I own both, before the mob cries foul.

My two cents on battery's. I will never use anything but aw in my mods. I found a local spot selling 18650 aw 2000mah for 8.99 why buy expensive toys only to kill them with cheap battery's. nothing but the best for my baby provari.

 

[roshambo]

Found this thread useful, debating on purchasing a Provari and a new Atty. Thanks

Actually as of 6 months ago AW didn't manufacture batteries but re branded other makes. IDK about the present. Take a guess who manufactures the highly rated batts for the Tesla automobile?

Who makes the batts for the tesla.

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Who makes the batts for the tesla.

Panasonic. Although I don't own the car I own the stock.

Variable Volt Gripper
It is 3-6 volts, It will show device ohms and remaining voltage.

 

[Nitrobex]

Provari is nice, but DNA 20 mod can handle more...(sub ohms on a genne, cartos, ect) Something like the Fazed Altoid DNA 20 Mod. with a AC9... if you want to buy once and be done... That being said if you go out and get that with out some one to help you learn genne's you are setting your self up for fail.
