yeah the waiting for the super six sucks..but I'd definitely go that route being that it's smaller and the stuff he's got in the works for the future are just awesome (he's working on a true 4 in 1 connector...so that you can use a 510,801,901, or cartomizer on it without adapters of any kind) of course have no idea when that'll be ready as he tests the crap out of everything before he releases things..super 6 is also all mechanical and has like a 3 year warranty on it..

First what is your atty of choice? SB's are 510 by default. If you like the 801 then the 6 has the optional adjustable airflow ability. Beyond that it's aesthetics and price point - what do you think looks and feels good and what do you want to spend - the 6 runs $50 to $65 more. There is also the question of convenience Altsmoke (when in stock) is one stop shopping for everything you need from PV to bats, chargers, atties etc...Lastly if $$ was not an issue I would grab a 6 to go right next to my SB. Both are great looking devices. My 2¢

I have a Super 6 ordered, not here yet. Never had a SB, but might at some time ;) I have a Prodigy both version 1 and 2. The SB looks good to me, I'm sure it works great. The Super 6 looks impressive, was a have to have for me. Pure Smoker has all the kinks worked out and the Prodigy V2 is a wonderful mod. The wife uses the Protigy as she's a 3.7 volt vaper. There are a bunch of terrific Mods out there and I think it would be hard to make a bad choice as long as you stay with the top manufacturers. You will have a wait for the S6 as you already seem to know. All the money I save by vaping over smoking I seem to spend on new E-toys. I guess my lungs are the ones coming out ahead with my new hobby. :D

I totally agree. You cannot come close to a months worth of analogs by buying a killer mod. Did you order the 801 Super Six with the adjustable air? I have never used an 801 atty but will try it out. There is always an adaptor for the 510. I could not even wait for all replies before ordering. I hope it does not take more than about 3 weeks to come!

No kidding, I feel the same way. I have saved tons of money since I use to be a heavy smoker. No matter how much money I spend on my vaping, I am always way ahead financially speaking, and I feel much better also.

Size wize I think the Super 6 is smaller but availability is better with Silver Bullet. Pros and cons?

Size is definitely an issue, so it depends on what you're specifically looking for. The Super 6 uses the slim 14500 @ 3.7 volts, the SB uses the 18650 @ 3.7 volts. Both units are capable of 6 volt operation.

I've never had an SB in my hand but it *looks* like a finely machined piece of equipment. Some have expressed the issue that the SB does show fingerprints on its surface rather easily. The SB also utilizes an electrical switch which I think is a point to consider negatively in terms of maintenance/reliability -- although I haven't read much about switches failing.

I love the Super 6. It doesn't show fingerprints, the mechanical switch is flawless and it's thinner than a dime. I've had it in my hand for two weeks and it has never mis-fired nor not done exactly what it was intended to do. I was a JS (v1 and v2) user for a long while. The Super 6 eliminates the worry of the device/switch going kaput at any given time. The design and the execution of the machining gives me peace of mind whenever I'm heading out, while it slides in and out of the top pocket without a hitch.

I *did* wait a long time to get one but there is a new process over at Super T Manufacturing that should speed things up. And, of course, you WILL get much longer battery life out of the SB. So, there are things to consider both ways. Good luck with your purchase...

You may be missing a very important difference. If you buy a Super 6 you will have to use CR2's for 6v vaping. The only somewhat safe alternative, at this time, is the 200mAh LiFePo4 from Excellerator. On the SB you use CR123's which come in Protected 900mAh Li-Ion or 750mAh LiFePo4. I do find that the SB is too big to carry around. I haven't found a PV that uses CR123's that is small enough to carry around that has a button that works!
Still waiting ........

Why are some people so terrified of batteries?? People have been vaping for years with only a few issues... Pay attention to your batteries, don't run them dry and you will have NO issues with CR2"s...

Plus the S6 is vented just in case....

Get the S6.... You will love it! Care for the batteries, pay attention to the batteries and you will have zero issues...

Go for it. Hopefully you will never be one of those "few issues". As far as vents go, oh never mind ....your mind is made up.

I am not going to live my life in terror of what might happen.... If thats the case I'd never drive for fear of an accident, take a walk for fear of getting mugged....

Some choose to live their life in fear of what might happen, then it never does....

I choose to live my life and obey precautions that can be taken to avoid accidents....

To each their own, it's what makes the world turn...

I also saw your post in the S6 forum stating the same fear... We get the point....

The battery compartment is vented and sealed from the atty so I am not worried about blowing myself up.

Also, anyone terrified of using cr2's can always choose to vape that sweet S6 at 3.7 using a PROTECTED 14500....

Me personally, I like 3.7 better than 5 or 6... I am currently using unprotected 14500's in my PS Protege and will use them in my S6 when it arrives as well...

I wanted a smaller well made device that gave me options for higher voltage if I wanted it... For me at least, 3.7 gives way better battery life and I like the vape it puts out.... As long as it's a true 3.7 device... Many of the mass produced devices out there are really only pushing 3.1'ish volts....

Enjoy the S6... Can't wait to get mine!!! :)

I am drooling on the Mini T as well....
