I'm thinking about buying a Vaporluxe Rev. 2 variable voltage mod from aceofvapes.com but I can't find any reviews. Has anyone tried one of these? It says it uses 1 18650 2600 mah battery, but it can range from 4.3 to 5.5 volts. I thought that strange since the 18650 is a 3.7 volt battery?? Any feedback on the performance of the mod would be appreciated. Thanks.

I own one and like it very much. It is my back up for my Darwin but I use both mods daily. I prefer my Vaporluxe over my Tekk mod because the body is much sturdier. Quality build. Mine is in Starlight Blue. It looks sharp! And is a joy to use. It performs very well. The battery lasts all day no problem. It plugs into my usb to charge. It has a battery life indicator to easily see how much battery life is left. The battery used is a Sanyo battery. It easily clicks through the varying voltages. It is just like the Nuck fistpack. I'd easily purchase another. And Ace of Vapes is great to do business with. Very fast and very friendly with stellar customer service. I much prefer the plug 'n play mods. I don't like having to use separate chargers and replacing batteries.

The only objection I'd have (and this would be a fairly large one) is that it won't go lower than 4.3v. Admittedly this isn't very high, but some attys and carts work better at lower voltages. A VV mod should run the gamut from 3.5 or so on up. I think you'd be better off with a Provari since it's infinitely adjustable (which this one isn't) and covers a much wider voltage range.

Yes, unfortunately there isn't a perfect mod, the Provari I thought was too big, as to the 4.3 starting point, that did not bother me as I have 3.7 volt mods already if I want a lower voltage. I was considering the buzz pro but decided I'd rather have something smaller. To me the perfect mod would be a juice fed full range variable volt with digital readouts for volts, atomizer ohms, and battery life, all in a small sleek unit that could fit in the palm of your hand.

Lol yeah when I first started exploring the mod world, I wanted it all, and at a reasonable price as well! I've got a small VV device. I like it. Fits in the hand nicely, and doesn't look like a sex toy.

I'm sure as technology progresses, we will see mods get smaller, with more functionality.

Actually, 4.3v IS roughly 3.7v with an atomizer connected, because of the voltage drop due to load. Most 3.7v mods are actually operating at about 3.2v under load.
Can the switch handel 3 coil cartos and duel atties?

The Vaporluxe only has a 2Amp limit. No way that is gonna handle a dual coil, and especially not a triple.

With a 2 amp limit, how high can you take the voltage? Using a watts calculator, a 1.5ohm dual coil would hit 2 amps at 3v. A 2ohm dual coil would only be able to get to 4v.

I believe the readily available boost chips are limited to 2.5 amps. The provari has the same limitation. They may have gone with a slightly cheaper chip in this one.

Hi

I tottaly agree, if you what a vv mod the provari should be one of your top options...
