Back in the Holler-VA
It was delivered and in perfect shape! I got my little stealth black box with no LED, for a reason and now I want to get a flashy one with lights and everything. I think the 5v and vv are very neat, but I have issues with flavorings, so my eliquid is unflavored. Being that is what I use all the time. I probably get the same warmth and TH on a 3.7 with a LR carto/atties. Maybe someone here can give me some advice? Is it worth it for 5v if I use unflavored nic? Being that I already use a LR carto now?

hopefully the experts will chime in, but an LR anything on 3.7 only resembles a real SR on 5v -- doesn't exactly duplicate it. But if you're happy with what you've got, and you're using flavorless juice I'm not sure there's a good reason to go up to 5v. I switch voltages around all day based on what flavors I'm looking for..... just my :2c:

Without getting too technical, it's functionally the same thing. It boils down to wattage, which is what creates the heat and makes vapor. You can get the same wattage with L/R on 3.7 as you can with S/R on 5v. ymmv

What say you, Steve?

What is best about the 5v mod, if you are using 3 or 3.2 ohm cartos (virtually the same wattage as a 3.7v mod with a LR carto)
there is a big difference to the better in my opinion.

Wth a 3.7v mod, you have battery fall off. The voltage slowly decreases and the vapor and flavor will diminish as the voltage drops. With a 5v mod, the box regulates approximately 8 volts from the 2 batteries, and regulates it down to 5v. The beauty of this is that the batteries shut down long before the combined voltage drops below 5v. So the first vape is as good as the last vape, when it finally shuts down for recharge. The reason the mod shuts down is the protection circuit in the batteries.

So, the 3.7v is great for its size, and does do a good job replicationg higher voltage vaping with LR stuff, but the voltage drops off slightly and you start to notice it 60 to 70% through your batterylife

But the 5v will be perfectly consistant, plus you are probably getting a little more battery life with the 5v if you made a proper comparison.

Try a 3.2 ohm smoktech brand carto, or a 3.2 or 3.5 ohm atty. That will cool things down enough for you to enjoy it at 5 volts.


Hehe yah. Only downside is my beloved 555 doesnt seem to work so well at 5 volts but on the flipside Applewood is just awesome on it. I may have to get a Vv mod at some point. These are so mich nice than my little joye 510s

Ok folks,

VV's will be in stock in about a week. I will have Black 5v mods ready to ship on Saturday morning. I also have black 3.7s ready for shipping, as well as the white 3.7 and 5v mods. The white mods get their LED color mounted inside the box, that makes the box glow.

I will be building my next batch of 5v mods tonight and tomorrow, but they definitely will be ready to ship Saturday. It will be a great way to start your week.

Steve

the additional .2 (if it is truly .2 higher) helps. I have been having better luck lately with smoketech cartos. I have talked to others that agree with me, and many others that do not. So I am not sure what it is, but I seem to like the smoktech better. I am getting more days out of them.

I agree. IMO taste seems better as well.

Hi Steve! and everyone else too! :) Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

OMG!! I can't believe that I actually WON the contest and then you closed the thread before I had a chance to say Thanks to everyone for the Congrats.... and a BIG THANK YOU for having the Contest!!!!
I guess that's what I get for sleeping in (LOL!!) but what a nice thing to wake up to!!! wub.gif

I had someone coming over for dinner last night, so I couldn't stick around... but I had quickly gone through a bunch of your old posts, searching for any reference to juices that you said you used and/or recommended to other folks, so I guess it paid off!!!

I've been keeping my eye on this thread for quite a while, and I can't believe that I'm actually going to own one now!!
All I have to say is....

congrats-1.gif

Congrats Spacekitty! I figured you were doing something important. you missed all the excitement yesterday. Your mod should be finished tonight, and will ship Monday, so I just need your LED color choice, and I also need to know what color, black or white, you want your mod to be:)

Cheers!
