Exploring the idea of VV as my vaping hobby progresses and have done a ton of research, but my KGO with LR cartos hits so nice, not really sure it's worth it. From what I understand my setup is putting out about 8.5watts, which seems the average for what many seem to find for there sweet spot. (KGO is listed as 3.7, but meters higher from reviews I've read, so probably about 3.8/3.9 under load of LR 1.7 single carto) So..... my question.

If you own a Provari, Buzzpro, Darwin... BUT use your set mods more, post the model here and why you prefer it over VV.

Thanks.

I've got a Darwin, as well as several Madvapes VV boxmods, and I was mildly surprised when my REOs mostly displaced the Darwin as my daily-driver. The Darwin still has a place in my toolset, but I actually find myself liking the REO more because of its generally hassle-free operation. With the right atty, hitting that 8-ish watt sweet-spot is pretty easy, and the simplicity of bottom-feeding means that I don't have to futz around with tanks or cartos, topping off or whatever; just pop an atty on, fill the juice bottle, and I'm good. With the Grand, I can go for a couple of days between charges, and with the Mini, I just keep a fresh battery in my pocket (in its own zip-lock baggie) for the midday switch.

Of course, none of this would matter if I hadn't already found my daily-vape juice. If I want to try a different flavour (y'know, for fun), the Darwin gets to play. Otherwise, one of my REOs is what I'm vaping from..

Hope this helps...

Many people who own VV Mods will swear by them and will not go back to straight regulated voltage mods. The reason is that type of atty, ohm rating, wicking ability, age, how clean the coil is plus using different juices all effect the vaping experience and you have to dial up or down to find what you like best. With a regulated mod you don't think about those things because you don't have a choice. Now with VV you have to think about all those variables. I know my Vision Extreme is not hitting like new at two months old and being able to bump it up to 5.2 volts makes a huge difference. For always being able to adjust to taste, adjust for age of atty and other factors having a VV brings vaping to a whole new level to keep you satisfied.

my ego 1100mah battery meters out to 3.9 no load. cant test under load because i dont have the box to do it. my gues would be 3.5-3.6

And, John Phoenix, I agree with much in your post and that may be the case for many vv lovers, but........ that's not an answer that pertains to the question I asked.:2cool:

I felt it was related. Your still kinda new here with 64 posts and your "If you own a Provari, Buzzpro, Darwin... BUT use your set mods more, post the model here and why you prefer it over VV.", question may have been your way of asking the same question "Why use a VV over a regulated mod?". That's how I saw your question.

( perhaps your not so new, I see your post count didn't change from one post to the next)

i went through a provari, buzz, darwin, VV ali'i, techmod, and the VV list goes on. but at the moment im loving my precise+ and my vmodXL. i use either 1.5 or 1.8 ohm io6 ikenvape atomizers on my 3.7v batteries and smktech dual coils cartomizers on my 5v batteries and found that thats all i really need. VV was just a faze i guess.. the set ups i have now dont really leave me wanting more.

Variable voltage may have been a phase for you, and it may well be for MANY others.
Having said that, there can be no denying that Variable Voltage is the future of electronic cigartettes.

In fact, if the future can be said to be present now, then VV is the present.
And it will only get to be more so as time marches slowly onward.


EDIT: And I post this as a person who does not own a variable voltage device at this time
EDIT: But the writing is on the wall, and it is written in indelible ink.
