I forgot about this thread! I bit the bullet and bought a Silver Bullet v1.1(damn Im funny) from altsmoke- I am still waiting on my batteries from all-battery.com (slow shipping) and I have been buying cr123 3v surefire throw-aways from lowes. I absolutely LOVE the Silver Bullet at 6v. I bought it with a 510-801 adapter, but found out I really do like the 510 attys (at least at 6v). I ordered some 18650 3000mAh bats, but I'm afraid that after vaping at 6v I won't care about the 3.7.
The Silver Bullet is a beautiful PV- man it pumps out great tasting vapor.
on a side note: I was at the store tonight and ran across a digital camera rechargeable battery kit on clearance. It came with 2 RCR123a 3v 400mAh bats and a charger $9.00. I am a little worried about the 400mAh rating, but hell for 9 bucks its worth a shot- Ive been paying 6 bucks a lick for the surefire throw-aways that Ive been getting at lowes so I figured I can't go wrong with these + I have a tactical laser and flashlight for my ar15 and if these 400mAh don't work for the silver bullet I'll use them for that.
Yeah, my 18650's haven't seen a whole lot of use since I got my Tenergy RCR123A 750mAh batteries. I can get a full days use at 6V vaping with them. I may still use the 18650's when I use a brand new atty, but as others have said, it's hard to go back once you get used to 6V vaping, it really is a nice thing.
Good info on those 400mAh rechargables. That's not a bad deal for someone who may have a secondary use for them. If you do get them, let us know how they do in your PV. Nice to know, especially for someone who's not completely sold on the idea of 6V, but wants to give it a try without having to spend tons of cash on disposable Lithium CR123A batteries.
I have to agree, I am pretty sure I could build a 6V PV that would be just as good as the manufacturered one that I have (ok, maybe I'm just bias!

) but either way, I think it all boils down to personal preferences. Some people want shiny, some people want button placement, some people want adjustable draw, etc.
