Would help if we knew what you meant by different. I personally would recommend VV as it's more versatile and makes life much easier, just dial in your sweet spot no matter what atty or carto you're using. VV is all I use now and they are becoming more available in different forms, box, feeders, tubes, etc.

VV is nice but there's just so many kinds of it. Any recommendation in what specific VV u used before and is good? I only know there's VV monkeybox, provari and Darwin from what I know. :)

I don't know about the "new Buzz" but I have the buzz and it does not have an LED to tell what your currently vaping at. I would recommend the Provari as a great vv device. I also own the Darwin which is another well made device and I'm waiting on my MonkeyBoxx which also has vv and a LED readout like both the Provari and the Darwin.
I would read up on any devices before purchasing though.
We have many threads on just about every device out there here at ECF.
Best wishes on whatever device you choose!
Happy vaping!

Indeed! Read up on any device you plan to purchase. I did and ended up with a Buzz. I couldn't be more pleased with my decision. The Buzz Pro will not have a digital readout like the ProVari but it will have a wheel for adjusting, a master on/off switch and a more efficient regulator that doubles the charge life of the batteries. Some testers are getting 18 to 20 hours out of a pair of 880 mAh 16340s. I think that a readout is not really necessary. I only change voltage on mine when I switch from a carto to a HV atty anyhow. For me, a display just adds to the price. After a few day I don't think I'd even look at it anymore.
I think Mike at NotCigs has adressed the stuff that really matters with this new line. Battery life, ease of use and safety.

Two of the best in their category are:

5 volt: GLV2 from Great Lakes Vapor

Variable volt: Darwin from nhaler.com or evolve.com

You can't beat the throat hit, consistency or battery life of these two better battery devices within their sub-categories.

oh yup found out about this 2 wonderful mods recently. GLV2 does HV vaping by the batteries use? i know darwin and provari are more similar am i right to say that?

The 5 volt GLV2 uses non-propietary batteries and a resister ciruit to provide 5 volt vaping. You simply get much closer to the "inhaled feel" of an analog, more consistency due to the slower drain rate of the batteries and better battery life.

The variable volt Darwin and Provari are quite similar but with several significant differences between the two. They both use regulated, boost circuit technology which keeps the power output consistent even as the battery drains which provides the best vaping consistency. With my Darwin, as a very heavy vaper, I get 21+ hours on a charge and it also doubles as a pass-through. You change the power level, by simply moving a small fly wheel instead of needing to make multiple presses of the button with the Provari. The Darwin senses the resistence change in the atty/carto as you vape and automatically adjusts the power output to maintain your original setting. They are both top of the line VV PV's.

I'm a notcigs fan, use their Infinity, plan to get an Infinity Pro swhen they come out (August, likely). Like the Buzz, no LED, but I don't care what the power or voltage is as long as it vapes well -- the little adjustment wheel is easy to use without being so loose that it turns unintentionally. I tend to run full day, 5 - 6 ml, on one pair of batteries; the Pro is supposed to provide even longer life.

Any idea on the GLV-3? I love the Darwin small fly wheel compared to the provari which have to do multiple press. For both which have display will be a better choice for me IMO.

I'm sure the GLV3 will be as well built as the GLV2. And, unlike other feeder devices that I am familar with, he will allow you to specify which atty connection you prefer. Since I much prefer 801 type atty's, that's a nice advantage.

I guess it depends on what you want in a device.

Variable voltage is a great way to try any wattage, which makes the freedom of vaping seemingly limitless. But what else do you want? Do you want a bottomfeeding device as well? If not, do you desire a box-mod or a tubular mod? Do you prefer wood or metal? Size matters to most, do you prefer something stealthy or something you KNOW you're not gonna lose?

I personally would recommend a MonkeyBoxx VV, but that's because I simply just adore mine! Opinions are BIASED, always remember that. It's about what YOU want, not what WE think you should like :D

Jay's done an awesome job with the GLV3! If you already have a GLV and you want a feeder you can just order the feeder as an add on. This only works for the top feeder model but is a great idea.

Totally agree with u, just like how much I love my reo mini. But I know I have to try some HV vaping with a VV mod. :)
