Silver Bullet for the win! If you don't need more than 10w get a Kick v1 directly from Evolv and vape away. Reliable, the best in customer service and complete servicing ( if needed ) in 2-3 yrs for very little money.

I am biased and I don't know a single thing about the magneto but I can tell you what I know about the SB's.

I have run a Phoenix v5 rda on a SB sub ohm'd and she did well. I just happen to like the regulation that the kick gives. Same voltage over the life of the charge equals consistent vapor over the life of the charge. That is what the kick will do. If you need more than 10w then you will need a kick sleeve and the kick v2. But as I generally run carto tanks on my SB's I don't need more than 10w. I run my rda's on my dna20 when I need to up the power.

The kick is a drop in regulation device that has adjustable wattage. It regulates the voltage the battery puts out and keeps the same voltage even when the battery charge is going away. This also keeps the batteries safer and to a certain extent prolongs the life of the battery. It is made by Evolv.

Kick version 1 goes up to 10w
Kick version 2 goes up to 15w

Take your pick......err......just kidding. The third from the left is my daily work Bullet along with the red w/ black button on rotation.
Kick version 1 set between 8-9w depending on liquid run through low resistance carto's in Pyrex tanks. This set up is dependable, easy and lots of liquid on hand. I generally take 3-4 tanks with different flavors to switch up during the day at work. Along with a couple of extra batteries. And my back up is my baby bullet or BB.

You can see the third from the left and second from the right have extension sleeves on them. This allows you to run a kick and 18650 battery versus a 18490 without the sleeve. But you can also run the 18650 without the kick on a non extension sleeved bullet. That is just not my choice. But that is the configuration I ran my sub ohm rda.....non kicked with 18650.

So pretty I love all your setups. I already orders a magneto but I always wanted a silver bullet and a reo. But I'm positive I'm getting a sw with the fatty rba 1 or v2

Look I only use Reos. Once I tried a Reo, I immediately thought, how can I sell the rest of my vaping gear, so I can get another Reo.

I am giving you some advice. I used to have to buy all the latest gear to get a "better" vape. Now I found the best vape in a Reo. Save your pennies and buy a Reo.

You don't ever miss dripping ? And what atomizer do you use ? What is your resistance ?

Magneto looks good, Galileo looks nice too. If you want to go kick, would go with the evolve kick 2, much better device than the original, and can accept .5 ohm coils, and up to 15 watts, would also recommend the Hcigar nemesis clone, will accept the kick in 18650 mode, plus can upgrade the switch to magnets if that is your focus.

I've had a Silver Bullet for a little over a couple of years and just picked up a Magneto two days ago at a local vaper shop. Love this thing. Haven't touched my SB since.

The Silver Bullet is built like a tank and it's a good mod with a great electronic switch. I've beat the crap out of mine and I had it sitting at the bottom of a water filled cooler for hours and it fired up just fine after pulling it out. Partly because it doesn't have any vent holes so it's basically waterproof. But it's also an old mod in design. Very simple. Been around for years. I wouldn't buy one these days if I were buying a mod. The best you can do with SB (safely) is drop a kick in it. That's about it. So unless you are into extreme sports and need a PV you can literally throw on the ground, I would go Magneto or something similar.

The Magneto is smaller, has a beautiful stainless steel finish on it, it telescopes for different battery sizes and it has an awesome magnetic swtich with lock ring on it. Not to mention those brass contacts which I can already tell hit better than my SB does, even after cleaning off my SB contacts. I just found out tonight you can also buy an optional eGo style top cap for the Magneto. Although I wish it just came with that to begin with. It just has more option to it than a SB. Plus it's less expensive by about $30.
