Variable Wattage/Temperature?

[wtsbob]

I am interested in buying a VT60 from Totally Wicked. It is not cheap. £84+ At the moment I am using a Odyssey E-Cig with a BDC atomizer with a 6.4 ml tank. At the moment I use Ultafire BRC18650 5000 mAh 3.7V li-ion batteries from China which cost me pence and seem to last fairly well. I also mix my own vape and save £££s doing that. I asked TW how much a replacement battery cost and how long it would last and was told battery life was about 6 months and the cost would be a complete replacement unit, i.e £80+ This seems very poor economy as I don't spend anything like that now on batteries. I know VW is meant to be superior to VV but is it worth the extra cost?
Can anyone tell me if a cheaper VW E-cig is available in the UK?

Are you looking for a temperature control mod?

The VT60 is a rebranded eVic VT (temperature control) mod.

No, I was going to purchase the Totally Wicked VT60 which I believe comes with tank and atomizer. I did wonder if the eVic VT was the same but I believe they are about the same price!?

The JoyeTech eVic VT & the Totally Wicked VT 60 are the same. Totally Wicked just has their logo put on the JoyeTech mod.

Definitely worth it, if there's temperature control. Have u looked up on Dovpo tc50?
Good luck on your new mod, cheers.

If you are worried about battery life, there are lots of vv/vw mods with 18650 batteries.just replace the batts, not the mod.

Thanks for that Susan, that would explain the similar price.

Oh, I thought all the technology was within the battery and a tank was fitted to the top!? As you may be able to tell, I'm not that technically minded!! I shall have to again, Google it and see what comes up but I like the idea of still using 18650 batteries. Anyway much obliged to every one, you have all been most helpful.

No prob. Im looking on new temperature control box too.

A mod is a battery box basically. The regulated mods have a chip ion them that controls output and other things. Some of them have internal batteries that you can not remove. When they go bad, you throw the mod away and get another one. Some you can put batteries in and take them out to recharge. When you shop, look for "requires 18650 batteries sold separately" in the description. If it says "LiPo" it's an internal battery.

I found it and sounds just what I'm looking for, thanks for that.

Another post on here recommended the Dovpo tc50 which I have had a look at and it seems to fit my requirements exactly and uses 18650 batteries as you recommended. Thanks for explaining a "mod" to me and the differences. Much wiser now and I think every one has solved my problem and answered my original post. Cheers

Surprised noone noticed this. Do not use ultrafire they're a realy bad cheap brand. And i would consider them as unsafe even in a regulated mod.

Better invest in a pair of real good batteries such as sony vtc4/5. Or efest batteries if your vape is gonna draw less than 20A (efest is 20A not 35 as marketed)
Also i recommend you to read all of @Baditude battery bloggs, they're great!
