Do you mean "WoW", or "Woo" (as in the new Smoktech Woo)? The Woo looks good to me, and I'm about to ask about it in this forum.
Welcome to Tasty Vapor
New! 5v Wow Mod
Smoktech WOO starter kit-5V MOD
The WOO..... - YouTube

I see that Clouds of Vapor calls it the Wow, so I guess that is what you're referring to. What have you heard about it that's bad?
Liberty Flights has a new E-Power 5 volt that is about the size of a regular E-Power or eGo. Second one on the page:
Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - EGO E-Power
And then there is the new EVO which is about the same size and has gotten some very good reviews:
EVO V2 Kit

And then there is the new EVO which is about the same size and has gotten some very good reviews:
EVO V2 Kit
Saw that, don't really care after reading these reviews:

This little thing blew me away.It is way better than expected.I have several other expensive mods yet i haven't put this down since i got it. I've only had it for 6 days so far but it has been used for all 6 days. Hmmmm maybe it's time to start selling some of the other devices.

I've had one of these since December 2011 I've used it with LiFePo4 batteries and AW16340 IMR's I found the AW's lasted much longer then the LiFePo4's.rnrnit gives dead on 5 volts on both which I've found work best with 2.0ohm EGO Mega DCC's the 1.5 ohm ones crackle a bit too much and get a bit too hot which can spoil the flavour but the 2.0ohm ones give a ton of vapour and great flavour.rnrnThe button on mine does stick occasionally but it hasn't been too much of a problem just press it again and it goes off. For the price this is a fantastic device, there isn't another mod that can give 5v olts at this kind of power.

WOW!! Or shall I say WOO... Pure awesome sizzles up liquid in the e-go dual coil carto by smoktech. Looks hella good with that carto too. This thing is like a portable hookah foreal! Chongs hard LOADS of VAPOR. TH with that carto is hardcore. If you use 16mg nic prepare yourself
e liquid flavor is tasty. Take your normal 510 flavor and 10x it YUM! I reccomend high drain batterys because I bought 2 regular tenergy rcr123a and it only lasts me a day and a half for moderate-heavy vaping but that's fine my fault. That's what happens when I don't put enough $ in my acct and have a budget. My only gripe is I do have button sticking issues like the other guy has. No biggie but every hour or two it would stick once. Just a quick press again it turns off. Has a bit of a generic feel and weight to it. After my first impressions trying it proved me wrong its beast, kicked my ...! Thanks Bruce/COV!jeremy@ageekinabox.com (Sunday, 04 March 2012)
WOW is right! This little mod is awesome! And for tube mod, it is fairly small. Fits perfectly in hand and is so much lighter than I expected. I will definitely be buying another soon as backup. THANKS COV!!

Those work too.
The EVO is a little pricier - $79.95 without a charger - but sure worth a look. I'm liking the Woo and the e-Power; I think Smoktech makes good stuff.

I've never personally used either but have read a few good reviews. I like that the woo is regulated. You can get the Evo, barebones for less if you don't need everything in the full kit:
EVO V2 Barebones
Yea I have the woo which I paid it forward on another forum it is pretty small but I think something smaller would be nice though
I just don't know if any 5-volt devices exist yet that take a 14000-series battery. Sounds like there's a market for one, and a couple of these: AW 14500 Protected Rechargeable Lithium Battery would rock one pretty good. 14500 = AA, and two of them would make a nice slender device.
By the way, got my Woo two days ago and can't put it down. I'm vaping better than ever before; more flavor and vapor than I've gotten at 3.4 or 3.7, even with LR attys. 3.7v at 1.5 ohms is 9.1 watts, which just won't fire up a lot of juices, at least not properly. (Button has yet to stick, by the way - and yes, the unprotected batteries give me the willies, and will be replaced in my next order).
I know know a lot better why VV is in my future, without a doubt. Probably a ProVari. Every juice seems to have a sweet spot, and it's a pain shuffling different resistance attachments around for each particular juice on one or more devices. Too much to keep organized. With a VV you can rock any atty with any juice and dial in just the right volts/watts. The way to go, without any doubt, if you want to get the most out of vaping.

There are tons of 5.0v devices with a pair of 14500s. They just aren't tubes. The Big Kazoo from kalamazoo vaper shop has gotten some really nice reviews from at least a few of the more popular video reviewers, and I have to think that madvapes has sold hundreds if not thousands of their 5.0v box mods. Kens box mods has been making them for a long time. (there are many, many others, but those are probably the most popular).
Hiya six, how goes it. Thoroughly enjoy your posts.
Yeah, tubes are what I had in mind. Just something about them ... I just find them so totally ... well, tubular. Not feeling the urge to go to box mods, but I can only imagine how so many of them must be vastly superior to anything else out there, including Provari and anything else that's limited to the tube form factor.
Update: suddenly feeling the urge to check out box mods. I already have three PV's (Joyetech eGo-T 1000mah, Smoktech e-Power 14650, and now a Woo 5V (aka the "Kaboom") that really rocks. (Protected batteries are on their way). I'm helping about a dozen or more people get off stinkies right now, so I'm eventually going to have just about every popular device there is, so I can show them and lend them whatever it is they think they want to start out with, despite my protestations. Person after person keeps saying that it's somehow paramount that the damn thing look like a cigarette, the very thing that's killing them. Reminds me of the beginning of Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet", which begins with the main character exiting the walled gates of the city of his birth, wherein he had experienced a life of pain, suffering, humiliation, and degradation. Not fifty paces outside the gates, he was already missing the place. Same kinda thing, I guess.
Anyway, I can see a big ol' box mod sitting on my computer desk, rendering great hits for absurd lengths of time. I'd like one that is smart enough to let you dial in x number of watts by detecting the resiatance of the atty attached to it and adjusting the voltage as necessary. I'm guessing such a device exists, but are they commercially available? If so, I'd love to know what they are and how to get them. I'll probably make that the subject of a new thread if I can't find it by searching. I also want a mod that has a built-in blower, so you don't have to suck on it. (Causes wrinkles, you know).
Still am wondering why no one seems to make a cool little tube PV with two AA/14500 batteries. I think that would be way cool, and a great size. They make 14250 Li batts too, which could also make a slick little PV. I might just have to start making my own tube mods, come to think of it.
Anyway, at the risk of stating the unnecessary - vape on

I suppose the reason there isn't a tube for dual 14500s is the total length that would be required for 100 mm worth of battery length plus some space for a regulator... and it's the regulator/resistor that is probably the issue. I have a 5.0v resistor from madvapes here on my desk, and it is fairly small - about 14mm wide. It needs to be soldered to a board that can have a switch (or wires for a switch) soldered to it too.... Just too much stuff to fit in a 14mm wide tube. And, if you did squeeze it all in to a 14mm tube, it would be double-tough to manage the heat.
I have lots of box mods. The best box form factor mods I have are feeders. While there is a device now that can turn a tube mod into something like a bottom feeder (the surge tank -- I think I want one -- but I don't think I'm willing to drop a c-note on it), I think feeders provide the best value for the features available. For examples: My VVPV is VV, has one of the best native connectors I've seen, holds 5ml of juice, has the best safety features in the industry, is all-metal, gives excellent control of the juice feed, etc etc etc. My REO is all metal, also has one of the best native connectors I've seen, has a great juice well, onboard juice supply, etc etc etc.
Plastic boxes and non-feeders have their pros too. The two big ones are that they are inexpensive and light weight. My madvapes VV box only weighs 80 grams with a pair of 14500s installed and a carto on it, and provides a nice voltage range (plenty of power) while only setting me back thirty-five bucks.
Wood boxes (feeders and non-feeders) are highly desirable to a lot of people largely because they are hand made, widely regarded as "classy", and each one is unique. I'm seriously considering a VV REO Woodville. I'll probably wait for the Metal VV Grand, but it's a tough decision. The Boggers box looks like a really good value too.
You'll never see me knocking the tube form factor even though I feel like more features can be available in a box. I have a bunch of tube mods and I like all of them for different reasons. For instance: My rough stacks are indestructible and have taken abuse that nothing else could have handled, and I have an original (non-painted) kalamazoo triple-v that I use pretty much every night sitting at my desk. I could list what I like about many others I have or have had, but this paragraph would never end

If you want to look at a cool box mod, then look at the Gepetto:

Very cool, just watched it. Gepetto has mad woodworking and electronics skills; I'd like to meet him sometime.
WV, what about a mod that detects atty resistance and lets you select a wattage based on it? I'm already getting tired of labelling individual attys (cartos, tanks, drip attys) with their resistance, and doing wattage calculations for each one according to which PV I'm using - 3.4, 3.7, or 5.0 (so far). Do you know of any that do that? I recall hearing that the Darwin got into wattages, so I'll check that out further, but are there any others that you know of?
Thanks.
Funny, you mentioned that, lol. My everyday PV is a Darwin. It is the only PV that adjusts wattage and the only PV that senses the change in resistence in your atty/carto as you vape and automatically adjusts the power output to maintain your original performance setting.
One of the features I like the most on the Darwin is the regulated, boost circuit technology that eleminates battery drain and maintains full power output throughout the life of the battery charge, providing the ultimate in consistency. And the battery life is outstanding. I get 21+ hours on a charge with regular resistence cartos and 16+ hours using dual coil cartos.
It's a top model PV for a reason.
Been using the 5V Woo from clouds of vapor for a few weeks and its working great. So far no button sticking problems others are having. It sure packs a wallop regulated a 5 volts. Best bang for the buck for a sturdy metal rubberized handled mod. Never tried an ego but it has ego threads so you can use 510's or ego accessories. The outer ego threads show below the 510 connection. I wish I can find a collar for it to make it look more finished when using a tank. I have to make sure to use high resistance atty's or cartos because I blew out 2 regular attys and cartos with this bad boy.
