VV or 5V?

[detroitvapr]

I have been happily vaping along with my Halo Triton tank system since I discovered the larger world of e-cigs beyond the disposables that the gas station sells.

But now I'm feeling like I could be getting more out of my vaping with a more advanced PV than the little ego style Halo batts. I would never get rid of them since they would make great back-ups and I have a bunch of clearos for them.

Can someone help me out deciding between something advanced like the Provari and something like the GLV2? I live very close to the GLV folks and I love supporting small local businesses that produce great products.

I'm just confused if there would be a huge benefit over having the VV cadillac of APVs like the Provari over a fixed 5V nearly indestructible device like the GLV2.

Help me out here

I can't comment on either device. However, I would never again get a fixed voltage device. You are then at the mercy of the resistance of your atty, and what power is good for one juice, won't be for another. If you want the max potential out of a juice and atty, you'll need variable power, be it VV or VW.

You can learn what voltages you like without investing a lot of money. Get a twist or spinner battery. It will be compatible with your existing ego/510 equipment and will be a great, low cost VV solution that will always serve as a good backup.

I thought that the Halo Triton was 510 compatible, but unfortunately it seems to be 808 rather than 510. I learned that lesson without wasting any money though since my local B&M was happy to help me figure that out.

Halo is supposed to be coming out with a spinner style battery for the Triton system at some point, but my urge to spend on my new hobby will probably strike far faster than they can bring that battery to market

I'm really tempted to jump into a Provari since I held one at my local B&M and was able to compare that to other APVs there. The heft and quality of it just seemed great compared to the other options. But then again there is the cost to consider.

the VAMO might be a good choice, I recently ordered one, it has VV/VW, but the provari looks really nice too and with the computer interface I dunno, the VAMO is pretty cheap

Ah! Good to know. I might be wrong but I believe the generic term would be vgo rather than ego. I'm sure there is a vv version of the vgo but it might not be the best choice in terms of future compatibility.

I agree with the Vamo. Mine has given me a vaping experience that I did not think was possible. You can search yourself blue in the face and will NOT fin a higher quality kit than this $51.42 Vamo-Vivi Voltage Adjustable E-Cigarette Battery Compartment Set - with Nitecore I2 US battery charger/charger cable/2*Panasonic 18650 batteries at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Get a VV device.. You will be happy you did..

 

[yerdreamsrequiem]

I don't have experience in either of those devices, but there is no way I could stay at a constant 5V. Case in point:

I smoke Fuzion Vapor's Unicorn blood at 4.7-5.1 volts on my ego variable voltage from apollo.

But I can't vape Johnson Creek's Domestic smoke juice at more than 4.2-ish volts without coughing up a lung

Never limit yourself on the option of voltage.

When Mech Mods first came out we had very little to choose from. Either the Provari or the eGo style batteries and price wise there was really nothing in between. We wanted something with longer battery life and a solid consistent vape. Was also nice to be able to stack batts and get a higher voltage. Since the advent of eGo class VV and low priced VV and/ or VW PVs the Mech Mods have taken a back seat. My first PV was a Mech Mod similar to the GLV2. Worked great, could vape at 3.7 or 6 volts, was well built and durable. My Mech Mod now sits gathering dust. I occasionally take a vape on it and there's no comparison to VV/ VW.
I really can't see the value in spending over $100.00 (you'd need an extra set of batts) for a set voltage PV. Better just to spend the extra $$ and purchase the Provari if you're looking for value and quality IMO. I also believe you would eventually move up to VV/ VW as the majority of us have. Just my

HeRd that... i second that 100%

 

[Pazazu]

A $50 vamo can outperform a provari anyway

 

[gordk]

I second the notion of picking up a twist or a spinner to see if vv is what you're after. And if it is, and you want more, as has been pointed out, vamos work well and can be had cheap.

Wow! That is an amazing price for that whole kit. I think I'm sold on giving that one a try. Especially since I'm still figuring out what I like I'll probably be playing around with so many tanks, clearos, and whatnot being able to easily tweak things, or set the wattage and forget it sounds like a good idea.

Thanks all for the advice!

 

[detroitvapr]

Annnnnnd the order is placed I went with the kit that included two vivi novas with it for $52.08. Unbelievable price.

 

[vapo jam]

congrats! you'll definitely be happy with a Vamo.

just make sure you switch it to NO2 (VRMS) mode before you vape it (hold either small button down for 10-15 seconds until it displays NO2)

 

[iLovesRedBull]

For starters please don't buy a vamo. When a vv/vw device cost $20 more than a spinner or twist there is a reason for that. If you do not go with t he Provari which I would say do it, sturdy, reliable, American etc etc I personally love mine. For a mech mod I suggest a bombshell stinger. It has become my favorite mod especially the battery ljfe of a 26650 is nuts. Get a kick for it and you have VW. Overall its an amazing overlooked mod.

 

[keplerj]

I would say look into a Vamo V2. If you got Provari money in your budget, congrats to you!

I do, considering the cost of it is still less than I would spend per month on analogs. But, that doesn't mean I want to spend it on a single PV. I'm sure I will probably still pick up a Provari at some point, but for now I'm going to just dip my feet in the VV/VW pool with the Vamo.

 

[FreakSkinny]

VV/VW is Absolutely the way to go! More flexibility in finding that sweet spot in the juice My first Mod was an eVic, Love it! Bought My girl a Vamo v2 and it rocks, she has never been one to tinker with finding her sweet spots, but cant put it down now!
