Since future VV mods have been mentioned, how about the Darwin? The two beta testers are raving. No word on the cost yet. Looks pretty sweet!
Well the main raver is a short term vaper, whose favorite combo is an un-named 808 carto at 6V on a GLV, one of of the most electronically unsophisticated mods out there, basically a glorified flashlight mod as far as performance goes. And although he calls himself a '6V' vaper on mods like the GLV actual 6V vaping only occurs for a few minutes per charge, the rest of the time it's all down hill. He also said he likes runniing the Darwin flat out at the highest voltage. I don't ask the guy who eats hot dogs all day where to get a good steak.

Contrast that to the Buzz and Nuck's Fistpack whose early versions were put in the hands of some of the most experienced, and long term vapers out there. Folks who have tried and used almost every PV/atty/carto combo available. They talk, I'll listen.

And I don't care how good a product is, a good reviewer will usually point out a few annoyances and minor caveats.

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

You can get a black Buzz blem for less than $90.00 and everyone who got one said they can't find the blem. It has the same outstanding warranty and customer service.

I need to look at the dates on these threads, Duh.

I can't say what is the best VVPV because I haven't tried them all.

Unless you try them all, who can say which is the best. We need an organization like Consumer's Report for ecigs or like PC Magazine that reviews several models and rates them.
How about a thread dedicated to owners of a VVPV, list their model and give the Pros and Cons.

While there are numerous variables involved in producing a vaping experience that will satisfy people with diverse preferences, being able to vary the voltage can solve some of the most dramatic variances. The biggest problem i have had with mods able to produce voltages above 3.7 volts is the requirement to use multiple batteries. Even with protection circuits in conventional LIBs one has to remember the general lack of production quality of most of the batteries and recognize that there is still a chance for failure with possible nasty effects. Until now, mods able to produce HV required stacked batteries. The ProVari shipping in a few weeks from ProVape uses a buck/boot IC to produce higher voltage utilizing a single battery. It can also reduce the voltage below 3.7v to allow the use of LR attys at the sweet spot as well. Additionally it is also the only HV mod that i have seen that offers additional protections built into the circuitry including reverse polarity protection and overload cutoff. You can view their site for the list of features, safety and otherwise. The batteries being offered for use with it are LiMn IMR batteries (High-Drain batteries) which use a safer chemistry battery inherently and thus require no integrated battery IC to manage the battery. The chemistry also allows MUCH higher discharge rates than conventional LIBs. This allows them to support larger current demands with better consistency as well. While IMR batteries can certainly be used to increase the performance of other mods, it still requires stacking them to achieve higher voltages. I have a ProVari on preorder and will post a detailed review after evaluating it with several brands/ohm atomizers after i have used it for a while. If it is what it appears to be then it will be a game-changing device. The production quality of ProVape's first mod was heads and sholders above any mod i had owned up to that point so i expect the ProVari will be well made as well. My point is, while there probably won't be a "best VV mod" for everyone, the ProVari stands to raise the bar for VV mods if it lives up to the hype. The Beta testers have said it's the best they have seen....we'll see. My point is if you are seriously thinking about spending 100-200 bucks on a VV mod, I'de wait the 2-3 weeks and see if the ProVari meets/beats the expectations. The features and safety would make it worth the wait if it does.

Agree with everything you said, except the part about waiting!

The ProVape site says four to six weeks wait.

If anyone IS interested in the ProVari, I'd recommend ordering one now.

I'm sure you can always cancel the order if you change your mind, but if you're on the fence, thinking about the ProVari, I'd suggest putting your order in now, then decide (they don't charge anything to your credit card until they ship!)

I waited two weeks thinking about it, and waiting to hear beta testers thoughts... now I wish I had simply ordered it as soon as I heard about it, being, as I said, they don't charge your cc anyways until it's ready to ship.
