The Buzz - a brilliant solution!!

I've owned my Buzz for a little over a month now and though I've been using various e-cigs for almost 2 years, I have never been so impressed and pleased as I am with my Buzz!

The biggest drawback of most e-cigs, in my opinion, is that the first few hits from a newly charged battery are great but then the quality quickly wanes.

With the Buzz, not only can you adjust the voltage, which is awesome alone, but the strength and quality of each and every hit are consistent throughout the life of the battery!

Each and every hit is just as wonderful as the first one was right out of the charger!

Then, add in the variable voltage, and you get a whole new realm of possibilities for the enjoyment of various liquids! I find myself adjusting the voltage to perfection with each new flavor I use with it!

And to top it off, it is incredibly well made, durable and built to last!

I've just ordered his new Infinity and I will be hounding my mail carrier daily until it gets here! And I'm entirely confident that it will be just as well made and magnificent as the Buzz!!

I'd like to order his infinity too but his website won't allow it - how did you do it? Both pv's look like top shelf stuff. It would be my first vv and I think vv is a very good thing to have on a pv. I usually vape at 6 volts but sometimes the juice just can't take it. If I had a vv I would dial it back to to its best flavor level.
 
When I ordered mine it said 99 in stock, which was obviously incorrect. Then a little later, the Infinity alone said sold out. BUT if you go to the "Infinity kit" it says that there's 1 in stock. To proceed with your order you have to click the check box that says "1 week build time" so that you understand that they're not sitting ready on the shelf. They have the parts and everything but they're building them to catch up with their orders.

All in all, I'm sure it will be well worth the wait! (And hopefully really just a week or close to it!) I'm not someone who deals well with waiting for things but I'm sure this will be worth it given the quality and function of the Buzz!!

Welcome too the Buzz Army !!! As stated it is a durable work horse....I wouldn't be without a Buzz in my collection that's for sure....

The Infinity had some growing pains due too a goofy bunch at the machine shop...Mike is making double sure that any Infinity leaving his shop is ready to Rock and Roll..The slim design is very nice feeling in the hand....Battery life is good YMMV but certainly nothing too be concerned about as they last a good while....The voltage dial is sweet as well...I'd suggest a meter from NotCigs as well..I'm in love with my Infinity......Getcha self one and enjoy the vapor!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm soon to be in the Buzz Army! Just placed my order for a Blue Buzz kit, extra batteries, and a voltage meter. Can't wait as this will be my First Mod!!

And a volt meter? I've got a neat way for yah to see how many volts, cartomizer ohms, battery life and controlls for your PV. That little window at the top there, it has it all.

Yeah - I may get a Provari some day, but thought I'd start with the BUZZ as it's pretty "tried and true" among vapers. That setup you have looks HUGE with that MAP tank! I do approve of the Pawn Drip Tip though - they are awesome!

I've used a Buzz as my main device since last July and am very happy with it-- it's reliable and durable and I've been used to this size of PV from vaping a Prodigy V1 for a year. The tiny button takes a bit of getting used to but I have no complaint about it now, and it has fired every single time. Batteries will typically last about 7 hrs. I have a tip: get one of those little brass-bodied eyeglasses screwdrivers with ring and add it to your keyring for times when you're away from home.

My wife has a new Infinity which she's very pleased with. The thumbwheel for voltage adjustment is just right-- it's recessed enough so that it won't be moved accidentally but still accessible for a quick no-tools tweak. If you want a couple of power vapes just bump it up a notch, then set it back when you're done; the wheel has an index mark so you can note the location.

I have the power adapter with leads for a multi-tester but seldom use it now. I just turn the voltage down when changing to a new atty or carto and then adjust it up while taking test puffs until I'm satisfied with performance.

I just ordered a Buzz. I hope I get it before the weekend. I am likely to get the Infinity at some point, but I just liked everything I heard about the Buzz. Not an elegant looking mod, but darn near unbreakable and compatable with all of my KR808 carts. I wanted a workhorse, and by all accounts, the Buzz is just that. Small enough to use in public, plenty of power to get through a night at the pub.

I'll review it as soon as I can. Really looking forward to getting my first mod, my 808's just don't do what my bypass can do.

Stownz, the ProVari is very cool with all the bell and whistles. I have found with my Buzz and ∞ after about a day and a half of playing with voltage, and the $10 meter, I don't use it any more. I might bump it up or down a bit to taste. And with the Infinity you can adjust while you toke. I love both devices.

The only time I use my meter is when I go from an HV to an LR so I don't fry it. You do get a feel for the settings after a bit

I've had a Provari and, for my money, it's still a big tube with old tech batteries and a smart chip. IOW, the Buzz a much better value. Can't beat a Buzz.....

I love, love, LOVE my Buzz. I've been vaping for over a year and tried all kinds of models with a lot of frustration. I am finally HAPPY! I've had mine for about a month now and am hoping it's as durable as it's reputed to be. I'm kinda hard on my PV's. LOL I like that it doesn't have a bunch of fancy electronics... just more things to break. I think I might get an Infinity too, or maybe another Buzz (for back-up)... I haven't decided yet.

Recieved my Buzz today. I will do my best to avoid sounding like some shrill that has a vested interest in Notcigs, but it won't be easy.

Being a 2 1/2 to 3 PAD M'boro lights smoker, only what, nine days into an overnight cold turkey switch to vaping, I was and am pleased with my Manual XL's and PT's from V4L. They are great. I'd still recommend that as a starter kit. Tonight was sort of a big test for me. I really do love to drink fine beers. I am a blue ribbon winning best in show home brewer of beer, and have even had one recipe of mine used by a commercial brewery. But, when I drink beer, I always smoked like a chimney.

Tonight I imbibed. Risky as I am off the anaolgs. Gald I waited until I had my Buzz in hand. My V4L 808's are fine for normal activities, they are small, easy to use, great products. Now I sat down to drink some brews.

Yup, the urge for an anaolg became pretty severe. My normally very effective 808's and even my USB PT wasn't quit enough. If my USB PT is a machine gun, my new Buzz is a bazooka. More TH, more flavor, more vapor, and it absolutely blasted away any desire for an analog.

I haven't even messed with the variable voltage yet, and it's off the charts. Sure it's bigger than an 808, but it's actually not nearly as big and cumbersome as what the You Tube reviews prepared me for. In black with brass trim, with a black carto, it doesn't look bulky, in fact it looks pretty freakin sharp.

The button while recessed and protected, is very easy to find and I also find that the size of it makes it easier to use than an 808 manual batt. Incredibly, on flavor, TH and vapor, it is a big improvement over even my USB PT, something I really did not expect.

It was the only thing in my new arsenal of PV's that could completely nullify any urge for an analog while quaffing some brews. Now, this is day one, but it really is build like a brick chit house. Just a smidge over 4"s long, and the size of a roll of nickles, but just a bit longer, it fits very nicely into my hand and is very easy to use already.

I had a lot of house stock in 808 carts, and they work great with the 808 connector I ordered. I am tasting flavor nuances I hadn't noticed before. My 24mg stuff hits more like my 36mg juices. There is that much of a difference.

This is a mod that has been around for a year. Proven, reliable and a work horse, which is what I wanted. Been vaping since 7pm, and it's still as good as it was then, what 7 to 8 hours later? No fall off in any area. I don't have a voltmeter, but I can tell the voltage is rock solid, it hasn't dropped a smidge. The voltage regulator in this device is a charm. Rock solid.

My V4L 808's will always have a place in my vaping arsenal, but the Buzz is clearly going to be my go to, there every day PV. I have rarely ever been so pleased with a purchase before. I am just really impressed with it, and suspect I will buy another at some point, it's that good.

It does seem to make my V4L Wow cartos pretty hot. Lower resistance atomizers are not a good pairing with this PV, but the 3 ohms produce great across the board and don't get too hot. Iv'e been vaping for hours now... this is definitely a PV you can take out to the pub and use all night. now if IkenVape can get some more 808 mega cartos back in stock... I think I will have reached my vaping nirvana.

So, hats off to NotCigs, this Buzz really is a killer, a killer of analog cravings. Not only have I quit analogs, with the Buzz I am actually enjoying quitting. Never thought that was possible, not in this life.
