Upgrade from EGO. Please Help :)

In person the Buzz looks a lot nicer. Pics and online videos don't do it justice. Mine in silver with a stainless attty and drip-tip looks very "clean". The big reason I suggested the Buzz is for the variable voltage. Personally I feel anyone looking to get their first mod so go with a VV device. The main reason is because nobody knows if they will like 6V, 5V, or 3.7V vaping best. With a VV mod, the individual can experience any voltage in that range. That way you can find out what your "sweet spot" is. Some people like high voltage, other don't. With a variable voltage device, you won't be stuck at either end of the scale. Then down the road when it comes time to purchase another mod, you will know what voltage you'll want.

There would be nothing worse than buying a brand new, gorgeous device that vapes at 6V only to find that you really don't like vaping at that voltage. Go variable voltage first, find your sweet-spot, then you'll know what to buy next.

buzz sounds like my best bet. It's totally confusing though to pick out what's needed to go with it to make it work (batteries, what atomizer, what tip, what charger, etc etc). It would be so helpful if the manufacturers offered the full package option.

That should help.

I am very happy with this unit, but if you are looking for more volts then this might not do it for you. Best of luck, happy shopping and whatever you buy I hope it gets there quickly!

Jeseryn,

I just received my 5v saber touch and love it. I got mine for $45 in an auction on Smokie's show last Saturday night. The show starts at 10p.m. edt. and I believe he will be auctioning more off tonight. Show is at 10 p.m. tonight on www.ElixirTV.com. Might be a less expensive way to find out if you like high voltage vaping. If you can get one for $45- $55 and discover you like high voltage then you can always sell it in the classifieds and get your money back to buy the mod you really want. Some people find out they don't like high voltage so this way your only risking $45- $55 and you might could even sell it for a profit if you decide you really want a different mod.

If you go this route the saber touch uses a 510 atty, any that are not LR, and 3.6 or 3.7v 16340 protected Lithium ion batteries. I got mine at http://www.madvapes.com along with the $8.99 two battery multi charger.

Just pick up the Buzz with the 510 threaded top cap. That way all your supplies from your eGo will carry over and work on the Buzz.....it's that simple The only other things you will need are two(I'd suggest 4 of them so you have an extra set) of 3.7V CR123A's and a charger to go with them. Also pick up the voltage adapter for 4.99, that way with a multimeter you can set your EXACT voltage to vape at. It's not necessary, but I think everyone with a Buzz should have it. Honestly, I feel they should just add $5 to the price of the Buzz and include it with the unit. But thats just me

Anyways, I think the Buzz would be the perfect first mod for you. Just for the variable voltage alone. Then you will know what you like to vape, which will help you with any more purchases down the road.

 

[Jeseryn]

3.7V CR123A's. Are they protected? There are notes all over the boards about using protected batteries. I don't want it to blow up in my face. lol

 

[Strauss95]

The Buzz has built in protection to save you from any issues with non-protected batteries. If for the piece of mind you want to run protected cells, go right ahead. I run both in my Buzz, and both kinds work great.

I thought I would jump in and suggest something a little off topic... Have you tried the Mega Atty & 2ML Capacity Cartridges?

This was a life saver for me! tons of vapor, and depending on juice, great TH as well. I would suggest keeping your ego as a back up should you decide on a mod.

Another good read.
The SuperT precise line is all mechanical, no wires and no clicking button. The all Stainless versions carry a lifetime warranty.
The P10 runs on a 10440 battery-not much run time on those batteries. I do own one and love it. Sleek and great for those nights when you have to get all dolled up and go out somewhere really nice!
The P16 runs on a 16340 battery- a bit more run time than the 10440, depending on your vaping habits. Could be a good 6 hours.
The P18 runs on a 18650 battery-should get you a full day- a day and a half on one of those and you can throw in 2 cr123's for 6v vaping.
David at SuperT also has a new mod on the horizon.
The main thing about these big battery mods is to be sure and order your first 2 batteries when you get the mod-all from the vendor you purchase the mod from. If you purchase elsewhere you run the chance of the battery not actually fitting the mod. Be sure to know exactly which brand and from where and the item number(from the mod vendor) before ordering the batteries from somewhere else. The specs on these batteries are not all the same and some run a ml different in circumference and or length. Mods are built around a specific make and model of battery and you just don't know from batch to batch.
I found this all out the hard way.
Also, please read up on care and use of the big batteries. If you are stacking they must be protected batteries. You can read up some here>Everything there is to know about AW batteries

here>>LiIon 18650 battery comparison - CandlePowerForums
Ikenvapes forum also has a few discussions going on atomizers. LR-HV and ohm's>> IkenVape
Issac at Ikenvape has a new mod right around the corner! Always something new around the corner~LOL
Good luck on your venture to find what I hope ends up being the perfect choice for you.

Save your money Jeseryn, buy an eGo Mega Atty (Cylinder type B) with the mega carts and you will think you have a new a better PV. It's like day and night. Wow.

I second that....I just got mine and WOW what a difference. I'm ordering more when I get paid.
