Almighty, what is the differnece in the Monkeyboxx as opposed tot he REO and the Ali'i?

All three come in a 3.7v/6v configuration. With this one, it's a matter of what you are looking for. The MB is fully customized based on your choices of woods, inlay, laser engraving, catch cup color. The Ali'i is built to your wood specs only. The REO Woodvil comes in a number of wood configurations, but are not special order. The REO Grand is the only metal feeder currently available. They all Vape excellent for 3.7v devices.

The VV models are differentiated by the customization & the voltage regulators. The MB uses a switching regulator, which is 90%+ efficient. The others use a linear regulator, can be as little as 50% efficient. More efficiency = longer battery life.

Did the REO come out with a VV?
I was unaware if he did...

The MB is best with AW IMR batts.
Same as the REO.

The feed on the MB was changed about 6 weeks ago. You should contact TomB & see about getting yours upgraded, if you are having problems with yours.

See the E-Cig Video Review Section for BasilRay's MB VV video review.

I'm fortunate enough to have all of these and there all high quality Mods and I enjoy using them everyday, each one has its own uniqueness as well but they all run great. Reo Mods do not have a VV option they are all mechanical. I run mine with 2 AW LiFePO4's at 6v and it really is a super vape though it isn't VV

The thing with the Reos is that there's no real motivation to add VV. He sells every batch he makes very quickly. So, why does he need to add VV?

No disagreement on that point I was just being clear that REOs do not come with VV which someone was wondering. You never know what Rob has planned for the future.

It's more a matter of "time" rather than "motivation". There is so much demand for his product, he hasn't had time to get a vv mod to the point where he is satisfied with it.

Not everyone wants a VV mod... I know for me, I adjust my atty resistance to suit my voltage... rather than vice versa. I've found perfect attys for 3.7v/6v. If I were to spring for a Reo, it would be for the bottom-feeding... and let me say that this option looks better and better each day, although I'm 100% satisfied with my Prodigy.

I prefer mechanical devices... the more simple the better... much more reliable. If you have good batteries, a good atty, juice, and clean contact points... you're in business! When using a VV mod, you introduce a whole bunch of new wires and circuitry (points of failure).

If a resistor blows that costs $.50, could you or the average vaper repair/solder it? Or would your mod go down until you could send it off to have it fixed? Would your vendor fix it for free, or would you have to pay?

Jusy my thought process. The only thing thats slightly-intriguing about VV is the fact that the same juice in the same atty will taste different at different voltages... but if my juice already tastes great, I've decided that's not important to me.

Just my $.02 : )

I'm totally with you Chornbro. I keep hearing about vv, but I haven't even tried the 5v and 6v batteries on my REO Woodvil because I'm so happy with my atty combos and the consistent output of the AW IMR batteries. My go to is the Cisco 1.5ohm 306 on the REO Mini at 3.7v, but I also enjoy the 2 ohm 510 for sweeter flavors on my Woodvil.

That's great you have found your bliss. There are lots of people who like the regulated power supplied by variable voltage PV's. Imagine that fresh battery vape all the way through the charge at any voltage. The IMRs are great, but what if you want 3.7v all the time? They typically come off the charger at 4.2v. The ability to use standard or HV attys is a big plus too. The higher the resistance of the atty, the more coil available to vaporize juice, meaning more vapor. The technology in VV devices includes power regulation & overload protection circuits to help keep from blowing attys & protect the units from shorting out. A mechanical device is usually relying on a fuse or the battery spring.

There are lots of great devices available for vaping. This thread is actually focused on VV juice feed devices, of which, there are currently three available on the market.
