Really want to move up to a VV....Help

[shstarose]

I have been debating on upgrading to a VV, but can't decide which way to go. I would like to get one that I don't need to moniter it with a voltage regulator constantly, (Im not an electric guru) but at the same time can't afford a Provari right now. What I have now is several Ego's with Mega dual coils (love the flavor I get with mdc) a Leo with dual coil.
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.

Ego twist. Can't go wrong there.

Was gonna keep my mouth shut concerning this, but I regret not purchasing a Provari sooner. The money I've spent on various starter kits, box mods and various accessories could have bought be several Provaris by now. This is not to say that they aren't other good (and relatively cheaper) VVs available, but why hedge? Invest in quality equipment and you won't have to be bothered with another pv purchase for quite a while.

Ya just gotta try a Twist! No better way to te$t the VV genre...

 

[shstarose]

What are you using with your twist for a good flavor and th? Also is the battery life the same as ego?

 

[SeaBrz]

Hi shstarose -- I faced the same dilemma. I suggest you get a couple of Ego C Twists. I have had fun learning how my juice, attys, and tanks respond to the different voltage. I have a Provari in the mail now, but I am glad that I had time to test juice/voltage on my Twists.

look at it this way you spend the money on all the twist, say you get 3 of them last i looked they were 23 or so each and you get 3 so now you have 3 and your happy so you get another cheapie mod and say spend like 109 on a chrome lavatube.....but in the back of your mind is the dull chanting.......but the provari is so cool.........but its not a Provari.......you gotta get a Provari, so you get around to finally ordering the Provari now that 179 buck Provari is actualy costing you 350 or something...

save and get the provari you will not be dessapointed....

Just one to consider.

Lambo VV 18350 Tube Mod
Price per Unit (piece): $74.99

sale price
$59.99

The nice thing about an option like this is that if you go for it and later want to buy something else, you will still be able to sell it in the classifieds for close to what you have into it. Plus any batteries or chargers you buy are going to work on something like the provari.

I don't own this model because I'm not into VV mods, but I have dealt with the company and their service was great.


I also think there is a coupon you can find to knock the price down to $54.

I would just save a little get a provari. I had finally purchased one and it will probably be my last VV... That is until they release something better

Other than kicking my mechanicals, my provari is a daily driver.

I have the twist and a provari. Use them both. I don't regret either one. If money's tight the twist is a great option.

I read people saying this once and a while - that you feel like you need a voltage meter if the PV doesn't have a display. I'm not sure where that comes from.

I'm not really certain why anyone actually cares what the voltage number is except maybe to discuss their preferences on a forum. Start low and increase the voltage until it tastes and feels right. - VV devices with no display generally have a thumb wheel. They are easy to adjust.

If you've already got an ego charger, get a twist. I know what I would do if I had to do it all over again.. I inched my way up and ended up spending way more than if I'd just got my provari in the first place. But not everyone is a provari fan and some do love and keep using their twists (or other devices). Only you can decide. If the provari is what you really want.. don't waste your money buying other stuff.. if the provari is not what you ultimately want, then there's the twist and a host of other devices that do well for others. Many prefer the Buzz pro, the lavatube (or whatever it's named now), the vmax.


There's lots of others. Good luck with your choice

Like it's said above.. the twist can be included in your vaping "arsenal" It's cheap enough to get now and if you like the VV experience, then you can decide if you want to save for something else or just be happy with your twist. I found out the hard way that having just one VV device wasn't good for me.. everything can and will eventually break or malfunction. when my first VV device quit working I was left with 3.7 box mods as my backups. Nothing wrong with 3.7 box mods.. I was lucky to have some LR cartos that I could use with them till my VV army tank was repaired.

Out of the 4 VV devices I use, 3 have the wheel and no led indicator. I have to use a voltmeter to set them, a tiny turn of the wheel can result in the voltage going too high and I end up burning something. I've tried making marks and starting low and working my way up but I always have to pull out the voltmeter and see where I'm at. Sometimes just a tiny tiny increment makes a big difference, especially with these vivi novas that I'm now using. I can't get the ultra fine adjustment (say.. 5v to 5.1 or 5.2 for instance) by just feel. Some people have no interest in seeing numbers and that's fine. I think that we all vape by taste.. but for me, it's just easier to find that sweetspot by being able to see the adjustment up or down.

Now I still use and enjoy my wheel devices.. but I'd be lost without my voltmeter! LOL

i can and do switch tanks one has a DCC and the other is a boge shorty 1.8ohm single coil and a 2.8 atty i can switch jump the jolts up or down in a matter of 3 seconds and done......

 

[LongHaul]

the Ego's are good i wont deny that but i just cant stand how long the battery last i have to have a battery that will go the distance.....

 

[shstarose]

Can the Dual coils be used with the Twist,r what is the best tank to use? I have seen a few with the vivi nova but not sure if you need adapters, .
I went through the whole thing with filling the ce 2s, and all that. I like simplicity of the duals, and that they hold a lot of liquid.

Someone with a no-display madvapes or smoketech VV box can do the same. I can't taste numbers, so the only thing I need them for is discussion here on ECF.

Yes, they can be used with a twist. Dual coils are hard on batts though. They'll die faster. I've only tried dual coils in a tank a couple times and they flooded like crazy. I use single (boge) coils in a plain (cheap) dctank (I use the xl cartos that are long enough to fit.

I agree that if you can afford a Provari then by all means make the investment. I have 2. The ego Twists are also a great intro to VV. But even better then the twist is the new smoketech vv gripper. It uses an 18650 battery so you only have to get a new battery instead of the whole unit with the twist. I have had one for the last week and am using it more than my provari. Its made from molded plastic with a rubberized coating. Its not going to survive a drop to the cement like my provaris do but for $50 Maxi Roughstack V2 Multi-voltage capable E cig mod it works great and you can fine tune the setting where as with the Twist you have to estimate what your setting is on. If my vv Gripper lasts me 6 months I will be thrilled and buy another one.
