So I need to get a mod. I think I got it narrowed down to either the V2, the Chuck, or the juice Box. Help! Money is not really an issue. I really like the ease of use from the juice box, but the popularity of the Chuck has me reconsidering. I would like to try 5v and 6v vaping, but still wanna be able to go 3.7 (The PS 3.7v setup with the 5v passthru is nice). Im leaning toward the chuck with all the battery combos. Does the chuck or Jbox come with batteries or chargers? Im gonna be mad if one shows up not ready to use. And I dont know if I can handle the 5-6 week wait right now for the juice box. Might have to wait til a chuck gets here then order a juice box and try to forget about it. Please help! Ready....set...DEBATE!!

I don't know much about the V2 but I know plenty about the chuck. Let me begin...

To my knowledge there is NO mods that come with batteries or chargers. This is to include the chuck and V2 and I believe the Juice Box. So a quick order from batteryjunction.com will take care of that for you. You need 18650s for the 1 large 3.7v battery and 2 cr123's for the 6v config. The juicebox and chuck can ONLY be ran at 3.7v or 6v. The GLV and Xhaler are 1 of the few mods that can be ran at 5v. The V2 has a wait period of about the same length as the chuck, about 2 weeks I believe. Only difference is that you can give jeff a tip, which I recommend, and he'll have it built and shipped within a couple days. I recommend $15 bucks or more for a tip if you want the mod quick. Anyway if money is not a problem then chuck is what you'll get fastest. Also its extremely well put together, built like a brick .... house. If you ever get into a fight it can become a very heavy duty lead pipe like object that is small enough to be thrown, and above all, can be highly customized from everything from colors to custom graphics. Which no other company will do.

My vote is the chuck. But it is a very bias opinion since I'm a chuck owner and lover myself.

I always wondered about the chuck. Are the custom designs a overlay decal like the Xhaler? or is it painted on?
He first puts a layer of paint on, not stickers but real paint, then he'll put the graphics on, and best part of all, to ensure the graphics don't get scratched and peeled off he'll put another coat of paint (Clear coat) on top of the graphics and paint. Very great attention to detail that I couldn't be happier for. :D

OHHH!! Now thats a good idea! Damn, Now if one he could come out with a 5volt mod!!!

I swore i would never return myself to 6v again after i sold off all my 6v mods...but the whole custom idea just seems like it could be cool as hell.

Chucks great but a tip doesn't always get Jeff to speed up your order. Count on two weeks to build and another 3 to 5 days to get it. V2 can be ordered as a kit which includes batteries, charger and atomizer. The V2 is in stock right now. The juice box (JB) holds a 10ml bottle of juice so you can vape for days. I believe the JB only operated at 3.7v and it takes 4 to 6 weeks to get one.

I don't like the (what I think) is the non replaceable atty that the JB comes with. As far as I know he makes his own so I'm not buying a product with proprietary parts.

Yah. That is a concern of mine as well. They don't sell replacement attys on the website. Presumably because it's never been needed. However, I would also assume that if need be, you could purchase a replacement by contacting him directly.
At the rate I'm going through attys and how frustrated I am with carts and batteries, it makes perfect sense to buy the juice box. It's just that I'd basically be spending my atty budget on the thing and still have to wait 2 months for it.. Leaving me without cash for the replacement attys I think I'll need. Catch 22.

Completly understand your logic on a" fisher price toy" (something that is not fixable ) juicebox.But dang doesnt that juice box look nice?I am more tempted to get the chuck first though and the juice box second as my needs are more aligned with using a pv when going out only.
