You are in the vast minority. VV and 5 volt actually makes the vapor warmer for most, not hotter. Plus it is much more consistent.
Stay with 3.7v.. or go higher??

I have the Joker AV which lets me change and I love having that option. I normally stay at the 3.7V but every now and then like to change things up. I like the idea of the AV in the feeder mods also, and want to get get an Ali'i ... but my patience in the restock is wearing thin.
The point, imo, of VV, is to get higher resistance attys, paired with higher voltage... to get a different vape... full and flavorful... not hot and nasty...lol.
it's just the only way to vary the perfect 3.7 w/ LR or 2.2 + Ohm vape... perfection imo is balancing the resistance to the voltage.
I have the Joker AV also (have had it since early Dec. 2010). Despite what many on ECF have posted, I have found it to be a great device. So far it has never failed to fire, and the variable voltage control works perfectly. If you are in the market for a reasonalbly priced, great looking variable voltage mod, give the Joker a serious look. That being said, my "all day/carry with me everywhere" device is an Ego with a LR atty, and regular old fiber fill cart. Taste and vapor production are excellent and the batteries (especially the 1000 Mah) last a reasonably long time (the 1000 Mah gets me through a full day).
The OP is currently rocking a Reo Mini and a Provari with a MAP tank, so I think he went with the "try everything" approach.
That's my Theory JJloupe, and LR's just run to hot for me anymore and even the 2ohm Atty's don't compare to running @6v with the new Iken HV's there the best vape there is to me. It's a very smooth and not as hot as HV use to be with these new HV-510 Atty's and it truly is my favorite vape anymore, Iken HV-510 W/2X 3.0VAW'a for my power cells is my set up these days.!
I don't think that has been proven one way or the other, I would actually surmise the opposite...the majority of vapers vape at 3.7 or within that range
to the OP
If you are going to upgrade I would say go VV instead of 5v (excepting the fact that you can try 5v for much cheaper than VV)
I would say try and find a VV that can handle the amps of a 3.7 and 1.5 ohm atty though or it will be less versatile than it could be. But if 5v is to hot for you, a VV will allows you to tone it down to 4.3 or 4.2...or up to 6v with a hv,
the trade off being battery life unless you are using a darwin, provari, or the soon to be release eclipse.
edit: or yea...the one of everything works as well.
If money isn't a concern, get a variable voltage mod.
No matter what atomizer or cartomizer you're using at any given time, you'll have the perfect voltage for it.
No matter what juice you are using at any given time, you'll have the perfect voltage for it.
If you can deal with the cord a 5v PT without a battery is a good way to do 5v vaping. I have a 2 amp usb converter and a handy place to plug it in by my computer and easy chair, and a 2 amp converter for the car. I mostly use it with a regular Joye atty (2.4 ohm) and just hit the button about a second on a five second draw. I don't like hot vapor and while I can't control the voltage on this, I can control the length of time the coil is heated. In the car, I use a ce 2 at 2.8 ohm so I have to stay on the button a little longer with those.
My PT saves my batteries a ton so I don't mind dealing with the cord but I can see where lots of folks wouldn't want or wouldn't be able to make that much use of a corded device.

You get what you pay for... if you want the best, you have to pay more.
In "bang for the buck" there might be cheaper alternatives, but if you want optimal vaping, you gotta pay the cost of the new technology.
I've been vape'in for almost a year now, and looking at my post totals, been obsessed with it...
I've had every bottom feeder, and signed up for Eclipse, which is a "smart" pv (regulated power - meaning capable of consistent power at the variable setting chosen, each and every time)... there are only a few of these on the market now. Far as I know, there's the Provari, Darwin, and i think, the Infinity, a lesser version of the first two.
I've had both (vari, and darwin)... and settled on the Vari... got two., and kept a Phidias, but for dripping.
I'm a living-room legend here... my advice, get one of the 3: darwin, vari, or eclipse or get them all.
They all have "smart" technology, are made here in U.S., quality, and great customer service... but most of all, you get the optimal vape out of whatever you put on the connector... every freakin time.

this is way beyond the OP....
more vapers comin in every day with the same questions...
that's what "bumps" are for too...
he didn't seem to say he had these mods, but was lookin...

I was not referring to how many people vape at a particular power level. I was referring to his statement that those who vape at 5 volts or variable volt do so because it makes the vape "hotter" and not many like that feeling. A good 5 volt or variable volt PV does NOT make the vape "hot" or harsh. It makes it warm and consistent similar to an analog. Too many people who answer posts like this one from the OP, have never even vaped on a good 5 volt or variable volt PV and really do not know what the difference is. In fact, many do not really know what warm and consistent throat hit feels like. They just assume it is the same as using a LR atty on a 3.7v PV or a pass-through plugged into their computer. It's not even close. Many vapers like weak throat hit and inconsistent performance from their PV's and I can understand that. But when person asks for opinions about vaping at a true 5 volt level or variable volt level, I would hope people would answer who have significant experience vaping with those type of PV's.
After reading most of the replies on this thread, he will easily assume that all PV's that are variable volt or 5 volt are terrible and just a waste of money. (excluding yours, of course)
