I think your conclusions are far closer to being correct than what I had concluded. Probably the biggest problem I'm having with the V1.5 LT is I don't seem able to get a comparable vape at any setting when compared with my cheap Mad Vapes box mods that I know are correct as all three of mine are the same at any given voltage.
On the point about the VMax, one of which I have on order through the Co-op, I don't understand anyone being happy because 3v feels live 4v and 4v feels like 5 volts and so on. What if one wants to vape something in the 3.0v range, it can't be set down to 2v?
At any rate I suppose I can understand the logic of getting a satisfying vape no matter what the numbers say but wonder if those same VMax fan boys would be equally satisfied if their speedometer was off 10 to 20% and they got a speeding ticket because they didn't know how fast they were going.
Perhaps a bad analogy but accurate numbers are important to me.Errol
I swear I'm just gonna buckle and buy a provari....yeah I said it...lol
I was ready to pull the trigger on a Provari after watching Phil's review as when all is said and done it probably is the best unit available. My one major complaint that changed my mind is the similarity to texting on a miniature keyboard just to set the voltage. Same complaint on the VMax but I decided at one third the price and 4amps I could live with it.
My favorite go to for low demand vaping is a VariStack simply because of the comfortably light hand feel and the ability to change voltage with just a slight movement of the thumb.

is that the smok tek unit, the varistak?
I'm a die hard smart phoning texter, so I'd feel at home

Here is a link to some $20 units.

It appears the Ovale V8 Incremental VV Body is just as handy and probably more attractive for some.

oh THAT varistack yes I'm aware of that one. Vaping Zone actually had one with a higher amp limit (more expensive obviously). Considered that one a few times.
The ovale came up a few pages ago, that one looks pretty good too

Kalebk07... +1 on the xtar, but not all xtars are created equal. The WP2 II or the WP6 II are the way to go, from everything I've heard and read about xtars. I know discount vapers has the 2 bay for $19, 6 bay for $33, and that's the best price I'm finding on them. Those Xtar WP II chargers are really considered great at the price. I have a link to a killer review on it... and then I also hunted up written reviews at candlepower. Everyone agrees its almost as good 'intelligent charger' wise, as the $50 pila.
some nice guy here sent me this link, after I had a scare with a IMR batt on a trustfire charger heating WAAY up, so I did a bunch of hunting. I LOVE my xtar. Wanna get the 6 bay, too. OH, and killer thing about it, though the description and the box say otherwise, is something I learned in a few of the candlepower reviews. The xtar wpII chargers will charge ANY rechargeable batt under 70mm in length. I use it for my IMR 14500s, 18350s, 18500s, and 18650s. It'll charge any mod batt I've ever heard of, pretty much. Killer charger, great price. And has that intelligent function that stops charging when they're full, so you don't get those scary hot batteries. Here's review..she explains it much better than I do.

also, if you charge a lot of 'short' batts, like 18350s, you may need extra spacers than the two that come with the kit. here's those... They also sell the charger itself, though its a lil more money than the www.discountvapers.com one.

Wait a sec... Errol... are you saying those $20 Veristacks are any good? Wow... I'm just blown away by that. Do you like it as much as say a lavatube v1? Oh, and another question, may sound silly, though. A friend of mine is looking for a very 'light' pv... any idea what a varistack w batts weighs? lol Aha... I see... even lower amps than the v1 LT. Getcha. So low voltage, basically.
And yeah, definitely love my Ovale. Mine is the Gripper, from Madvapes... same product by a different name, but I think madvapes only has the last incarnation... so it does 3.7, 5, 6. But DV has that snazzy incremental. Love the looks of that thing. Probably in black, though.

The LT is 3oz with battery and the VariStack is 2.3oz with batteries.
The vendors say it's 2amp but the testing I've done indicates it's much closer to 2.5amp, same as the V1 LT and I can assure you it beats the LT hands down for comfort.
I have a mini review on the Vendors site that explains why I am so fond of it, posts #24 and #38. Just have to be careful of leaking cartos as juice can go straight in, their is no seal around the threads but it appears the same could be said about the Ovale V8.

Awww, really?!?! No juice well on the V8?! Can anyone confirm this? If its true than I have finally decided to get the Lavatube V3 I think.
Wow... thanks! Can't believe you weighed that for me. lol I was just hoping for a general 'yeah, it's light'. lol
as for the seal on the ovale... I can't really tell. Looks like the plastic body ends right where the 510 connection starts, so you'd have to work pretty darn hard to get juice in there. lol But I can see, with some of the clearo stuff, why that might be a concern.

lol no worries... I MANGLE screenname's, abbreviate em... pretty much anything bad you can do to one, I do. And its Rachel, if that makes it easier. lol And thanks hon... brightened my day when you said that. Just ask eric in the DV forum if you're wondering about the juice well on the new ovale. Chances are good he'll know. If not, he'll certainly know in a day or two, when they show up. If you'd like, I'll be happy to take a photo of my 'connection' for ya. No guarantee it'll be exactly the same, but chances are good, since that one has a 'recessed' connection also.
Also, this may be different on new one, but from photo I'm guessing its the same. Firing button lights up, but just the outside of it, in a circle... looks rather darn cool. lol

Regarding juice wells, if you mean that big leak catching dimple in the top of the LT1 is not present on the Varitube X I just got. Just a flush 510 with slight taper on edges of the top.

I think he was talking about the ovale before...but now looking like the lavatube isn't either. Who knows. Errol, hopefully. lol And I think theblueadept is just talking about how it doesn't have a juice well. That doesn't necessarily mean its not sealed, though. The ovale seems to have something LIKE a juice well, but apparently its not sealed, so I don't know that the two correlate. Give me 10 mins to take and edit a photo and I'll get it to ya, Kaleb. One of my alltime fave guy names, btw.
I'm pretty sure the V3 will be just as sealed as previous models, they just streamlined it with a metal head and did away with the moat (dripwell) around the threads. https://ivape.net/index.php/The-Varitube-X-Silver.html?keyword=varitube
