Thinking about jumping into mods

[Scoper50]

So for the past month and a half, I've been using ego twists. I have 3 of them. I plan to keep using them, but after watching probably hundreds of vape videos, and reading daily here on ECF, I am just too curious to stop where I am at. Originally I wanted to wait 6 months or so and buy a provari. I still plan to buy a provari eventually, but I am getting curious about what else is out there.

I've seen that the silver bullet is pretty popular, and not as expensive as a provari. I'm thinking that this might be a logical step up from ego batteries. But I'm not dead set on it. I like having a variable voltage device (ego twist), but I have found that I'm usually sitting at 4v most of the time. I don't adjust it very much. So a fixed voltage device would probably work fine for me.

So can any more experienced users recommend something, and maybe suggest an ideal setup. Should I get a kick?, Or what size battery should I be running? Any info would be appreciated.

I vote for either the Vamo or eVic
Great way to get in to APVs
I have one of each, very happy
(I like my eVic better, but I'm a techie kind of person)

If you buy the ProVari, you won't need a kick. The kick is about $50, so if you buy a tube planning to add the kick, you really haven't saved much money anyway (especially since you may need to buy an extra cap).

I like the Vamo, it's less expensive and no telling how long it will last, but it will give you an idea if you want a larger, better hitting PV than an eGo. I use my Vamo and ProVari when I am not using my favorite, the REO.

One you don't see discussed often is the Saber Touch. It is available in several configurations including a Kicked version, VV, 5 volt regulated, and 3.6/6 volt versions. You can go with one of their standard colors or they will do any custom color you want. You can ever go Max and stack 2 18650s in a 5 amp VV version.

Best advice I can give you is to stay away from the Chinese mods.

American, Greek, Finnish, etc you're gold.

I've got a Silver Bullet and a Baby Bullet. I haven't used either of them since I got my eGo Twists and my Apollo VTube. I'm hooked on variable voltage.

My advice would be to just get the Provari and be done with it. It will save you money in the long run. And you can buy a Provari "blem" unit now for $140.

One thing I really do like about the Bullets, though, is that they are mechanical and are built to survive almost anything (especially the big Silver Bullet). If I knew I was gonna go through the "vapocalypse", I'd want the Silver Bullet along with me.

Interesting. So you think a silver bullet would be a step DOWN from a twist? I like VV too, but like I said earlier, 90% of the time I'm sitting at 4v. I don't mess with it very much.

its not so much about adjusting the voltage as much as a SB is unregulated and performance will drop as the battery gets lower.

Wouldn't really call the Silver Bullet a mechanical, they do have an electronic switch and wiring.

The electric angel I just got has no wires at all.. It's a good solid back up to the Provari. I have a silver bullet as well I trust.
