Im moving on up from the tornado and just want some advise as to what you all think is the best mod out there...............Ive been checking out THE BUZZ but before I drop 150 dollars, let me know what u think is the best.......thanks

There is another vari-volt coming out from NotCigs.com (same folks as the Buzz) called the Infinity which will have a voltage wheel. It's looking pretty sweet so far. They say it should be out and ready for purchase in 4 or 5 weeks. No word on what it will cost though.

I've never used one, but lots of people love their Buzz.
There is also the Little Sister and the Big Brother from Ken's Box mods. They are, obviously, box mods. But they are much cheaper than the Buzz. I think the Little Sister goes for about $65?
The Tekk from Nhaler is also varivolt. It's fairly large, but has amazing battery life (we're talking DAYS), and I believe the USB charger it was originally made from still works, so you can charge your phone with it, or turn it into a pass-thru.
It costs $160.
Apart from that, it's mostly "voltage settings" rather than a fully adjustable voltage range. The Fist Pack has 4 voltage settings, but it's very expensive - about $200.

I can't say what is the best VVPV because I haven't tried them all.
I use a buzz and have stopped using all other PVs. I don't fiddle with the voltage settings much any more I found that 4.3v works for most any juice. It's really nice with some juices to be able to turn down the voltage a little and get a smoother flavor.
For me the best thing about VV is that the voltage is regulated so my first puff is the same as my last (well sorta') unlike with my ego where the first 15min was a lot hotter then the last 2 hours of charge.
As Mistress points out the infinity is coming soon, as well as the ProVeri from ProVape both have some nifty new improvements.

Before you order one, check out the Classified Forum. I picked up a couple in mint condition and only spent 150 bucks for the two.
This might sound a bit silly... but I'm still new here so I get
at least one or two silly questions, right?
When talking about variable voltage aren't we technically
speaking about variable resistance?
Voltage is a potential across two points.
Unless the potential across the end terminals of the battery
change, then the mod is simply adjusting resistance across
one section of the circuit to lower or raise the drop in the
portion of the circuit that atomizes the juice.
Why would that matter?
Because we have HR and LR cartos, right?
What if resistance in a cartos could be controlled with a switch?
If a static battery was too hot, raise the resistance.
If the battery weakens, lower it.
If someone gets rich off this idea... gratuities accepted. :~)

Nevermind.
My electrical stuff is rusty.
Assuming we are looking at a series of...
battery > variable resistor > atomizer > return to battery
Then the voltage potential of the battery remains constant.
The drop across the resistor varies.
The drop across the atomizer varies inversely to the resistor drop.
It's still a variable voltage (not variable resistance) across the
atomizer even if the battery voltage does remain static.
You could hold the voltage constant across the atomizer and
vary the current through it by adding the variable resistor in
parallel rather than series.
Right?
That would still not be a variable resistance in the atomizer,
however, varying the current may have the same affect.
Anybody seen a variable current mod?

Nevermind.
Assuming the resistance is constant, the current varies
as the voltage varies.
In effect, VV is also variable current.
That's what got me thinking about it in the first place. My KR8 shows the
same signs of being 'hot' on a full charge.
Would be awesome if the actual, physical resistance of the atomizer wire
itself varied automatically to compensate.

Looks like I wasted my newbie allocation of two silly questions talking to myself. LOL

Me personally, I use the buzz, and have been using it for over 2 months now and will highly recommend it. Also notcigs has a buzzkit for sale for $125, its the pv, 2 batts and charger at Buzz Kit
In my opinion its money well spent, and truly a quality product. Sure the box mod is cheaper, but keep this in mind: you get what you pay for...

thanks vapo just ordered the kit cant wait to be vaping with it
Var voltage is not var resistance. With a voltage regulator your atty/carto stays the same voltage for the whole battery discharge cycle with var resistance it changes and wastes more power. I built 1 var volt box mod and have another sitting on the breadboard atm. Var volt is really nice but I get about the same hit with a 2.5 ohm cartomizer and a 14500. Also the 2 14500 batteries on the var volt last only slightly longer than 1 14500 battery with a 2.5 ohm carto.
Well with Joye 510's the difference between using them on a one 14500 mod then switching to a VV one and going to 4.3-4.5V is far from "about the same hit". The difference is quite dramatic, and for many, too much. No one would confuse to two.
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/provape/131028-provari-variable-voltage-mod.html that's the best, coming in December.
Being a little premature aren't you? To declare a PV that hasn't even been released yet 'the best'.
Unless of course you have been using one for at least a few months now.
Here's my 2 cents.
I dont think I would own a mod that wasn't VV. Its just gives you options to get the best atty/carto sold at whatever time. While I like both my buzz and my big brother they both offer something the other doesn't. The buzz is sealed (no juice gets in the tube) but adjusting the voltage on the fly is a PTIA. I can adjust the voltage on the fly with the big brother but the carto connection is not sealed. I have to keep opening and drying the inside after a fill.
There are quite a few VV available if you do a search. The things I would look for is a sealed connector, a thumbwheel or other user friendly GUI. And the ability to do low voltage.
I know a lot of people say the screw on the buzz is not a big deal. But if I overfill or even a fresh fill my e2 carto I can turn up the voltage for a few drags then back down. Easy Peasy. But then I have to stop the juice from running into the switch.

Worth waiting for anyway. Why waste your money now and be sorry next month-should have waited!

I dont disagree it looks like it has everything I want. But the price is like WOW.
Congratulations. I use and love my Buzz. Have a gold one & a black one. Both were gently used when I purchased them and both work perfectly.
Please Join us here: Notcigs
This is notcigs - the folks that make your new Buzz. Great people on that forum. They answer questions and come up with great suggestions. You'll fit right in at that forum. Hope to see you there.
Again, Congratulations!
Paula
PS - I do NOT consider purchasing a Buzz right now wasted money. We do not know the NAME of the new product coming out at notcigs - let alone what it will cost, how it will function, if people will like it. We DO know the Buzz and can attest to its reliability and sturdiness. A used Buzz in our forums sells almost instantly. That should tell you something. They are in demand because they are just that good. Nuff Said.
