Ready for an Upgrade!

[ssmudgerr]

I have been vaping my first e-cig setup for about a year now. It is a very basic E-Go battery with ce4 clearomizers. I have been very happy with it for the most part, but I feel that I can do better. The battery is starting to fall apart now, so I am ready for an upgrade. Does anybody have any recommendations of where I should go from here? I am happy with the size and shape of what I have been using, but I am looking to get more battery life as well as better value for money, as I am constantly replacing the clearomizers. I have to be honest, I am still baffled about a lot of the lingo used here, so please treat me like a noob and explain like I'm 5!

Thanks

PS. I live in Korea, so any websites with worldwide shipping that stock your recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Probably the biggest bang for your money would be an Innokin iTaste MVP2. This is a small boxish mod about the size of a small pack of cigarettes (still pocket-friendly). It has an internal rechargeable battery (2600 mAh) which can last up to 2 - 3 days on a charge. Can be used as a pass-thru (vape it via the usb charging cord to save battery life). Powerful enough internal battery to charge a cell phone or iPod.

Variable voltage & variable wattage modes, built-in ohm meter and battery voltage meter. Accepts both eGo and 510 juice attachments. Someone else will have to help you with the actual websites.

Video Review of the iTaste MVP2



I would ditch the CE4's and get one of the better clearotanks like the Aspire Nautilus. This has an air adjustment which can improve vapor production. Also look into a cartotank setup as an entirely different juice delivery system. The first pic above shows cartotanks on MVP's.

I have to be honest, I'm not crazy about that form factor. How about the protank? I was considering this pack.

IMHO, the Protank is not much different from the CE4 tanks you're already using; although you'll be able to prolong the usefulness of the Protanks because they use replaceable coil heads.

All clearomizers depend upon tiny silica string to wick e-liquid to the coil heads. If you are a moderate to heavy vapor they will have trouble keeping up with you. Clearomizers are fine for beginners because they are so easy to fill and change coil heads, but they are inconsistant, mute some flavors, and often flood/leak. Inferior design.

Proper Terminology: Juice Delivery Attachments

The eGo Twists are fine and an upgrade from what you are currently using. You'll appreciate the variable voltage. Since you want more battery life, get the 1300 mAh Spinners.

I assumed you were ready to make a bigger jump up to something much better so I recommended the MVP, Aspire Nautilus, and cartotanks.

I appreciate the advice, and I am ready for something much better so maybe I will have to leave the clearomizers behind. Is there another mod that you could recommend that has a similar form factor to the eGos?

Edit: I'm reading that link you posted and it has a lot of the information I need. Thanks!

I wouldn't get this if I was you. the 650 mAh battery will be a bit of a let down. will last 4-6 hours before it needs a recharge. Plus its way over priced there.

The advice @Baditude has given is the best advice when moving up. The spinner 1300mAh would be the best performing option in the form factor you like.
It may be worth reconsidering the MVP 2. I wasn't keen on the look when I first saw them, but the box form factor has grown on me.
The 2600mAh battery in the MVP will last up to 2 days without charging so if you have a long day ahead its ideal.
I didn't get one but I got a VTR which is a boxie and love it now.
As your in Korea then look into getting them straight from China. Or your native Korea will have them much cheaper than US or UK (where I live) But this is my favourite UK site. iTaste VV V3.O Kit - Starter Kits
Ive listed it with the VV V3 showing as this might be another choice that's more your style. but the 800 mAh battery will only last about 6-8 hours. But you can use it whilst its charging.
Hope some of this helps.

I like my MVP, had it since Feb. Holds a charge for days, it travels better in the cup holder of the car, less tipsy, especially with a big topper like a Nautilus. Doesn't fall over nears as often indoors or in the car. The box has its advantages.

cant go wrong with a vtr with aerotank or 30s or a mvp

Further to this, I think I have got it narrowed down to the Vamo V5, the Innokin iTaste SVD or the Innokin iTaste VV/VW V3.0. I understand that the first 2 are different to the last one, but I was just interested in your opinion on these.

The iTaste VV3 will be the most similar to your eGo batteries in form factor & size; very pocket-friendly. It has a non-replaceable rechargeable battery, so when the battery dies the whole unit will have to be thrown away. It does have nice advanced features, such as LED screen to show built-in voltage and ohm meter readings, scrolling of VV & VW changes, and a puff counter. It can also be used while it is charging via included USB charging cord. Inexpensive compared to other advanced regulated mods, you don't have to spend extra for replaceable batteries and a box charger. The 800 mah capacity might require more than one device to be able to vape all day unless you always have access to a USB port.

The Vamo and SVD will require multiple replaceable batteries and a box charger (extra expense), however when those batteries finally die you only have to replace a $10 battery, not an entire unit like the iTaste. These two mods are telescopic, which means you can use different size batteries and change the length of the mod. Shorter length but less battery time; longer length more battery time but a much longer mod. Same features as the iTaste VV3 except for the pass-thru ability. Larger devices than the VV3, so may not be as pocket/purse friendly.

When I upgraded I went with the Vamo V5. I like it. I now have a Provari to go with it but still grab the Vamo from time to time.

 

[Shootist]

Both the Vamo and iTaste SVD use the 33Hz Pulse wave/width modulation chip, Not the greatest vape.
I own 2 Vamo V5's

I agree with Baditude about the Innokin iTaste MVP V2. Best Bang for the Bucks. Yes it is a Box Mod which I personally don't care for (although I've never owned a Box Mod. Box Mods just doesn't appeal to me). It has a flat output signal which will give you a better vape.

The Innokin iTaste VV v3 is a better choice than the Vamo or the SVD. It is a little lacking on the voltage output but if your not a 4V + vaper it would work fine for you. I have one on order.

Then you have the Provape Provari. Top of the line VV Mod and made in the USA. I just got one of those on Friday and I'm really enjoying it.
The Vamo's are still vaped occasionally.

 

[Lurch]

My opinion would lean toward the Vamo or SVD. As Baditude pointed out, they have batteries that can be charged and replaced cheaply. My neighbor has the Vision spinner and is very happy with it and I have a clone version that serves me well when out and about, but having a bigger battery that I can change out in a matter of seconds is very handy.

Good luck with whatever you choose.

I am a Vamo fan. This vendor is probably your best bet. https://www.fasttech.com/products/1491700

Before you make up your mind Smiffy, take a look at the following two videos. I have an Aerotank Mega with the DCD coils and I can honestly say Mark at Nature Vapes has come up with a game changer.

 

[ScottChensoda]

This is for those who have Protanks and that ilk. Just a simple change to using NVapes hand built coils can make a complete change to many folks vaping experience. For a few dollars it's well worth a try.

A good upgrade could be the Innokin VV/VW 3.0 or the Vision Spinner 2. The latter has a large 1600mah battery while the former has an USB passthrough option for charging and vaping at the same time.

Both have variable voltage, with the Innokin VV/VW 3.0 having variable wattage as well.

I think I will go for the Innokin VV/VW 3.0. I don't fancy a box mod yet as I need something that can be pocketed more easily. I'm sure I'll get one for home-vaping soon enough.

How about tanks for the Innokin VV/VW 3.0? They appear to be sold out of mini Pro Tanks on fasttech.
