What do you guys think would be the best way to get a regulated voltage out of the VMod? I'm starting to miss mine and think I may have thrown in the towel too quickly, but the one thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on another one is the drain on the batteries.
It's one of the things I disliked most about my Riva setup. The first hour was great, second was OK, third hour on was bleh and made me grab a new battery and put the old one on the charger.
I didn't own the VMod long enough to experience it with the 18650's, but with my LT I'm only vaping between 3.7 to 4.2 volts. I love the fact that whatever voltage I set it at, is what it stays at until the battery is dead, but there is more hassle involved in messing with cartos, clearos, and tanks, than I had to deal with in the short time I owned my VMod.
I'm just wondering, what would be the most cost effective method for getting an guaranteed set voltage out of the VMod? I may be back to the dark side if I can get it figured out.
Edit: Also, earlier in the thread I saw AG talking about someone stalking, and the GMod, or something along the lines. Is that a new VMod model coming out, that could perhaps have some VV in it, by chance? Grasping at straws here, or is that something that could really be in the works? My limited detective investigation couldn't turn up anything.
ukeman, with that setup of the 357 and 18650, does it give you a good, solid vape until the end of the battery? I'm more talking about the throat hit. I notice most often when the throat hit starts tapering off, that I feel the need to change out the batteries. Changing batteries was the main reason I went to the 18650, and can get a full 2 days out of 1 on my LT.
In order of importance, I gotta go with TH, then flavor, then vapor, but flavor and vapor are pretty close to each other. I like a good taste just as much as I like fogging out my girlfriend, but would give up both for a good kick in the throat.
Another question, with those 1.5's.. are you still getting at least 1 full day's worth of vaping out of them? I'd heard that the 1.5's will kill batteries quicker, but never experimented to find out how much quicker. Gave up the VMod before I had a chance.
Andy, I, too, think I've found the only VV tube I'll need in the LT, but it's come down to either using a carto tank that burns cartos if it's less than half full, then floods on the refill, or dripping in an atty which, in the end, the VMod is much better at doing than I am, and can be done driving down the road.
Going to dig through the classifieds and see if I can pick up a good deal on one. If not, I'll be picking up an Ala Carte with the coupon. Still have 3 batteries from the last one I bought, so I think I'll be good. As long as I'm not going to notice a dropoff throughout the day, I couldn't ask for much more.
