Wanted: VV/VW device suggestions under $100

sigelei Zmax is a great unit. I'm using it as a Ohm Tester and backup to my Itaste MVP.

I like the Itaste better because the output is more regulated so it's a smoother vape.
I like the shorter form factor and I think the Slender Metallic Box is a little more elegant.

I was also impressed as heck that I went 2 1/2 days until the light went to yellow and I can just plug into any micro USB Charging cable. I always carry a power bank with me so I'll never run out..

It's kind of nice not having to carry extra batteries and know that anywhere I have a Micro USB Connecter I can charge it.

If you are looking for a Tube mod I agree the sigelei is an excellent choice.

Check out the Anyvape CVI.

I got mine for $60. It included 18650 and 18350 tubes.

I believe it uses the Zmax chip, has ego threading and long and short mode.

It's made of aluminum like the evic so it's nice and light but it's solid.

Oh, and you can get black, silver, red, pink, blue, green, and orange.

Good stuff, thanks man!

I checked and according to the description the one you purchased is for 510 and won't take the fully threaded Ego t3.
You should check with them to be sure, if that matters to you.

You can buy a inexpensive 510 to ego adaptor to get around this liability and it still is a great price.

For anyone else interested in this I opened a ticket with ivape and this was there response.

"The MVPs we are shipping is the model that includes the removable beauty ring and ego threading. Thank you for pointing this out, we will try to update it soon.

If there is anything else we can do for you, let us know!

In addition to there description lacking some information their picture was of the old model/prototype as well lending additional credence to tomzgreat's well made point.

HI it's confirmed, a Vaper on my other thread
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-vapors-bump-if-you-think-its-valuable-2.html
Just received his unit from Ivape and it had the Ego Threading, he says he's been happily vaping a Kanger Mt3 for 3 days on one battery charge!

I use the Smoktech Groove and I recommend it.

I read about durability issues after seeing it in up close and buying one. Mine doesn't fall over (am I just lucky?) and the build quality is better than advertised.

My neighbor is a diabetic - he came over to visit the other day and we talked out on my deck (he still smokes cigs so we were outdoors). He was walking back home and collapsed in the middle of what I guess was a seizure. I ran towards him and in my haste my Groove flew about ten feet and landed (and slid) on pavement.

Long story short - he is fine now and my Groove is too - not even a scratch actually. I guess it is built to be tough enough for average use and abuse.

I agree the Smok VW Groove is great and I like it much better than my MPV and with the 3800 mah battery it will last me three days between charges. There just hasn't been a lot of hype on them but I've had mine a couple of weeks now without any problems.

I apologize but I'm going to take you above your price point. Since I just did that myself, I believe I'm entitled. I was upset with myself after Friday Night I pulled the trigger and spent $147.00 on the VV Bottom Feeding Bogger. Than as the Weekend went along and I bought 2 extra sets of 18350 and 4 different types of Atomizers I continued to feel upset.

Today [He shipped on Saturday and it arrive Monday], the VV Bogger arrived and it was georgous, a work of Art. I felt less bad. After all it arrived so quickly, and it's so attractive. The workmanship is incredible. The wood natural and with character. Than I opened it up and it was the cleanest box I've ever seen, all the wires are recessed.

I just vaped today on a Boge 2.5ohm Atomizer and the taste was miles above any Clearomizer or Cartomizer that I've ever tasted. The unit has a huge drip well and any excess liquid goes into the well and than back into the tank.

I went with the Bogger because I'm in love with the Wood Boxes and I just couldn't bring myself to spend $50.00 more on a VV Reo Grande Metal Mod. I also had heard and vaguely remembered that dripping provides the best Vaping Experience with the Bottom Feeders making this complicated process easy.

Yes I know the Reo Grande is the Gold Standard but pricing mass produced metal box higher than Hand Crafted Wood just doesn't seem that good a deal

It's unbelievably convenient. Squonk twice and you are off and running.

Someone say wood? REOs are just not top notch metal bottomfeeders...

Not sure who misinformed you sir but Reos are far far from mass produced unless that you consider mass production a basically 1 man band in the middle of the woods in Maine with 1 helper and everything basically produced inhouse with the exception of the machining process and as for wood mods the the Woodvil and VV Woodvil are 2nd to none and extremely hard to come by since there hand crafted by 1 guy (Robert O'neil) and don't even get me started on his customer service which again is 2nd to none he always goes ABOVE and BEYOND not to mention if you call there you can actually speak directly with him since he is usually the 1 answering the phone yeah he's got a couple helpers like his MOM that takes care of shipping Sure I'm a HUGE fan and Reos are all I own but if you ever use 1 you'll understand why just my 2 cents FWIW

I stand corrected, to me the new Aluminum Reo Grande and VV Reo Grande look like a Mass Produced Metal Box. I will agree that REO quality and service have a sterling reputation.
