I am torn between two new mode and I figured I'd ask peoples thoughts on what they think especially if they have had their hands on both of them. I want to get either the sigelie zmax v3 (telemax) the flat top one, or the innokin svd. From what I have gathered in the little info I have is that neither one is a "wrong" choice. I currently have my vamo and my MVP, but I want something else for no real reason other than I do. Maybe I should just hold off a little longer if I can and the the provari mini, but its just so expensive. I would get the telescoping extender cap for it though if I held off. I am used to using variable voltage and wattage, and it doesn't really bother me either way if I have wattage or not, it'd just be nice to have. Ok now I'm just rambling as I think out loud, so I will stop and hopefully hear from some of you your opinions.:confused:

Interesting dilemma I sort of can help you I think. I just got my provari mini v2.5 cpl weeks ago I picked up the twins telescoping attachment and I absolutely love it. The button is super smooth threads r buttery just feels high quality in my hand. It's also not as big as I thought it might be. I have zero complaints about the mini love it...

But-- my best friend just picked up the sigelei v3 (don't think he got telescoping one but essentially the same) and he is really happy with it. I think it's a pretty solid little device pretty much everyone that has one likes it so u can't go wrong for the price.

Another thing u gotta think about is what ur gonna put on top of whatever u buy. I wanted a z atty pro so provari was the right choice for me.

Tough decision-- but a good dilemma to be in because u will surely be happy either way.

Thats pretty much how I looked at it. I'm glad to hear some people talk about the twins cap for the provari mini. The price is why I keep going between them. The Sigelei is the cheapest at $70 shipped, but is MOD only, SVD is $100 shipped, and comes with some IClear 30's which people seem to enjoy, and then there is the provari mini (black with green LED) MOD only is like $200 plus the $25 for the twins cap. Provari has the best warranty, and continues to help with the product as long as you own it. Damn this decision sucks. :evil:

I have the VMax, ZMax, and VAMO. I think the VAMO is as good as the others, maybe better. You can buy the VAMO for $26.99 from Vapor Break (china) and get it in about 14 days.

One thing I like about the VAMO is that I can put an ego cone on it. I use a silver cone and ss carto and ss tip. Looks sleek.

Another thing I like about the VAMO is I can use an 18650 or a 18350. The 18350 keeps the mod shorter, but the 18650 lasts forever.

VV650 VAMO V2 (body only) eGo APV - VaporBreak
Register for the $26.99 price. Great customer service for a Chinese company!

Not gonna lie, after doing a little research after making this thread it seems I am torn between two devices, but not the original 2. (SVD and ZMax V3 Flat Top) The sigelei is still in it, but I cant justify the SVD. So between the ZMax and the Provari. Price plays a part, but at the same time I've at least gotten to try/mess with a provari, and I get it. I know why they charge what they charge, I just wish one of my other friends would order the ZMax to be the guinea pig so I can play with that too.:vapor: Or that one of the 4 B&M stores by me carried it. :mad: Oh well :vapor:

I've got two teslas, one vamo left. Lots of folks like em I'm not impressed buy em. I don't like the 37htz firing cycle. :2c:
If you can afford it go with the Provari or a MVP. The lava tube is nice also. Lots better than the cheap chip the others use.
And by the way one Tesla is still in the box. (got it for payback for helping someone)

+1 on all these mods mentioned have the same chip. I have a bunch of mods so I say get all of them!!!!
But......The main consideration is what kind of vaper are you? If you are, or plan to, get into low ohm rebuildable attys then a Provari is the only mod that will push them. Same with higher ohm dual coil cartos.

Get the Zmax, if money is an issue. The Twins and the Hippo cost me more than the Zmax did.

I have had my Zmax for a few days, now. It has been working great. For the price, it's spectacular.

I love love love the twins cap for my provari mini. It fits perfectly and I no longer have to use the extension that limits me to the 18490/18500. I am posting a pic of it, it's on the far end of the pic with the AMP tank on it. mods with set ups small.jpg

I've had my Zmax for a little over a week now and I love it. Its well built, VW, looks damn good and is a third of the price of a Provari.

Its not perfect though. (like the Provari might be?) Mine has a slightly crooked screen. I have heard its an issue on most of them. The menu is a little slow to work with and it is a bit of a pain to read the resistance of the attached device. These are all nit-picky complaints. I like the ZMax Telescope Flat-top quite a bit and would recommend it to anyone.

wow, I got tied up and havent had time to check this thread, and I am overwhelmed by all the responses since. I appreciate everyones input, but I am leaning towards the provari mini. The twins cap would just have to wait for a little while. Either way, even if I get the Provari (gotta get that passed the wifey) I will still probably get other mods along the way so I will probably have the ZMax anyways. I just know I want something that will last 'til at least Christmas when I can ask for another one as a present:p so for now thank you to all that have posted and to anyone else that has any input with any devices. Now back to my Amnesia from Roar 50/50 18mg :vapor:
