did you guys see the new 5v joker from vaprlife. looks pretty sick. i believe it comes in 3 colors: purple with green led, green w/ purple led and black w/ red led. its gonna be interesting, the 5v mod battle between V2, xhaler and now the joker. i really hope the price isnt too crazy, like around xhaler and V2 price range.

Same thing, different color. Have to admit I'm getting tired of the metal tube mods comin out. There are really only slight differences between most all of them...at least in the HV domain.

It was a great idea at first, but now every supplier has their own verson of a metal battery casing with an atty connector on it. I think someone needs to take these mods into a new level and blow our minds to the possibility of these things.

I'll be thinking....

You're right about the metal tube thing but there are some important differences.
!) Battery type. CR2 vs CR123. CR2=thinner CR123=last longer.
2) Button design. The Altsmoke devices have a great button! Some others suck!
3) Button placement. Some unique designs here. See Mako & GLV.
4) Material. Some are aluminum, some are Stainless steel.
5) Atty connection. Some are smooth as silk, some just don't work period!
6) Finishes. Probably the biggest selling point with Chucks.
7) Durability.
I have yet to see a device that scores well in every category. When I do, I'll buy it and retire the rest of my collection. ;)

I totally agree. There are certainly differences in the builds. The biggest factors for me are the batts, button, material and durability. I purchased a V2 (Puresmoker) with this in mind. CR123a's, mechanical switch w/ built in resistance (no resistor) and built from stainless steel.

My qualm is on the design itself. Kind of wish someone would produce something that has a different look and feel to it. Maybe something a little more practical for regularly daily use, and transit. All of those differences will still be seen, regardless of the casing. The juiceboxes/fistpacks, etc. are a step in the right direction I think, but let's be honest in that they aren't particularly rugged.
