v2cigs-
This is the first good regular cigarette looking ecig I used and one of my first vapes a year ago. These are high quality for both the battery (the long ones are best, last longer) and their cartomizers. If you want something that looks like a cigarette and is bare bones as far as options and is simple to use, then I would highly recommend these guys. They warranty there stuff with what must be one of the best warranties in the business. I believe its lifetime with some limitation. On one occasion one of their chargers went bad. I didnt know it at the time but it ruined a couple of my batteries. They sent new ones out no questions asked and an envelope to return the bad ones. Class act and good quality for what they are. The ecig juice is okay.

ProVari-
What can i say. I love my Provari. Some people worry about the one button but after about 30 seconds you get proficient and after a few days you start loving it (at least i did). It has an elegance of minimalism that is similair to say apple products. It has very good craftsmanship. Some people do not like the weight but for me I could only see it ever being a problem if you wanted to have it in your shirt pocket. I have the version 2 and I have not had any problems with overloading amps etc. Simply put if you can only have one then I would say it must be the Provari with the extended cap for the 18650 batteries. I'm not a fan boy type but I do have preferences. This is a high quality product. This would be a GOD mod if you could set the watts to automatically adjust for the ohms of your carts etc.

Lava Tube, L-rider etc-
This is the first product where I feel like you get more than you pay for. I purchased this without batteries or extra's for 45 bucks. It does what the ProVari does. Its cheaper, lighter, less elegant, craftsmanship isn't as good in general and I absolutely love it. It has the protection aspects of the ProVari which are nice. This unit will not throw errors but will automatically adjust itself if your over volting (which I do not actually like) but doesn't change the voltage on the display. I purchased this to go in my work truck with me as I didn't want my ProVari to get stolen as it's 3x the cost. I'm happy I did. This unit is a steal.

Summary,
This is not meant to be a technical or exhaustive review but rather a review based on what I would initially tell a friend about these products from my own experience. There are long reviews showing all the safety features, abilities and limitations of these products. I suggest before buying anything you check out the multitude of video reviews.
