Pre veteran thread (2011)

AJ, Thats a tough one...I have seen us all use from 510's to home made mods...Maybe we can all post what we each have..The Provape 2 & the Chameleon that I use daily, and 12 other Pv's in rotation...

Hi AJ, I think the latest thing is the EGO. I have one and I love it, but I have to confess I haven't tried any other "big" batteries.

 

[AJMoore]

Whiskey, are you happy with your choices? Do you have any anxiety about failures?

Yep Jerry, the Ego comes up time and again. But do you use the LR attys with it so that you get a "Big Batt" experience? I've ruined myself with the bigger batts, I need a 5V plus.

Only once AJ..The GLV...after I got it I didn't like where they put the button, so I sold it, It performed excellent but I wasn't used to the way you had to use the button off to the side with your thumb.

I am on the old fashion , 510 attys my own version of the nico stick mod 3.7 volts that's all I need and the ego cartomizers just when I am driving

 

[AJMoore]

Thanks Liscab. I'm shopping and looking for the next best thing. My mods are getting a little hinky, sometimes they work and sometimes......

I use a BB with LR attys mostly,sometimes an Ego with 510 LR cartos.I tried the Exhaler and plan to try a Chuck soon But I dislike those small hard buttons on them.The 5v GLV2 looks pretty sweet to me.

Is it sad that I know that reference?

I heard that song so many times on the radio in 1980 I automatically think of it when I hear the word Japanese.

Howdy everyone

AJ, I use the standard Joye 510 attys with the EGO, that's all I need. The EGO is a 3.7 volt battery.

hey Kez ( big wave ) - what does a GLV2 look like
...too lazy to go look it up

 

[Dkrom68]

Protege 3.7v with Lr atties, Prodigy 5v, 6 -510's, 2 flashlight, 5v and 6v, copper 5v but i prefer the Protege 3.7 and lR atties

 

[keyzygirl]

The GLV is my dream PV,it comes in alot of colors and it looks super sturdy.Its from Great lakes vapor.Its Sweet!!!I think 5v would be the best for me.

Keyzygirl - Is the BB a Black Bullet? What size batts? 5V?

 

[Whistle_Pig]

Hey whistle good to see you again..Hows things?

Hiya, Whiskey.

Well, normally I'd say things is good, it bein' Friday. But I'll be working some tomorrow, so it's something of a mixed bag. At least the typical part of my work week is over.

BB is the smaller bullet.Its 3.7 and I use a lr atty on it.Its my favorite thing so far.Ive dropped it and it just keeps going.Its a very sturdy mod.The one I got is pink,now they make it in silver and it looks really nice.

that's the big headache of the e cigs, we are always looking for more at the end a 3.7 volt is a 3.7 only the body changes if you change to 5 volts after a few weeks you are going to be looking for a 6 volts

AJ, I use the standard Joye 510 attys with the EGO, that's all I need. The EGO is a 3.7 volt battery.

Yeah, the battery itself is. But Joye runs it through a PWM circuit and FET for switching, so the actual vaping wattage you get is equivalent to using a 3.1v source. It's a bit of a long thread, but an informative and enjoyable read: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/joye-510/65055-battery-voltages-surprise.html

Particularly, Scottbee's o-scope trace of the "battery" output. That's pulse-width modulated. Meaning it's like a square wave. IOW, it doesn't deliver pure 3.7V DC.

Just for fun, here's some eGo guts.

The BB

I'm not a veteran yet, plan to be, but here is where I would like to ask the question because of the experience in this particular thread.

I'm looking for a new mod. I currently have the Prodigy V2, XHaler and Thermo. Of course I did my time with the little "kits" (510 and 808).

What do the veterans use? I wanna know.

Here's a pic of what I have accumulated since I started vaping in July 2009.
