I have made the decision to move up. But I don't want to end up with a billion different ecigs layin about. I have read the reviews. But with so many different combo'w I.E. power sources/atty's. Its really hard to do a head to head comparison.

I want the most vape,TH, Batt, power/life, Durable atty's. And I dont want it to look like a childs toy. It does not need to look like a analog.

I want a work horse. I think the power is obvious. When I put a fresh batt in my DSE 901 thats a good vape. after a couple of those the change in power is clear.

When I go to 5v or 6v I dont want to have to buy a gadzillion atty's. Whats the best most durrable ones of those?

I would like to see a head to head with the Vapor rockstars. Who is the heavy weight champ????

If you don't care about size, then, imho, the two finalists are the Silver Bullet* or the GGTS. The GGTS in particular can accommodate so many different batteries that if you can't find one to power your PV, then you've been somehow thrown back in time to a world before the invention of electricity. Props to you. See if you can do something so cool, a bunch of folks carve your image into a mountain.

If you don't want to have a bunch of atties, then you'll be sticking with a baseline 510. Keep your mod at 3.7v and you'll be fine.

If you want to jump to a higher voltage, and you don't want to burn through your atties quicker, you've got two choices:

1) Be diligent when vaping at higher v. Keep that bridge wet. Always. Keep it soaked. But don't flood it. Fun, right?

2) Only have low resistance atties that'll upgrade the vape from a 3.7 battery. But only use these on the 3.7. I don't think they place nice with 5v or 6v.

SB (or similar) or GGTS @ 3.7 with LR atties = hours and hours and hours of great vaping from a solid piece of metal, powered by non-proprietary batteries.

The downside is obvious: you're walking around with a power tool all day long.

*There are other mods out there that are in the same class with the SB. I chose the SB for the sake of simplicity.

There have been quite a few "mixed" reviews on HV atty's and not many sites carry them meaning you are at the mercy of those sites.

If you go with a HV device, you can also view the atty for what it is: a disposible part of the PV. Reduce the price per atty by buying more at one time and plan on going through one about every 2-3 weeks. At $5 an atty, that really isn't that expensive in comparison to your past habit.

I'd suggest the Ego. It's basically a 510 on steroids.

The eGo is a great PV. My only issue with them is the proprietary battery and by extension, a proprietary battery. The eGo's battery holds a nice long charge, but when one does die, I can't wander over to the local mall and buy a new one. Sure, I've got other PVs to fall back on while I wait for new eGo battery to arrive in the mail, but I think bbsage's goal here is to not end up with a bunch of different chargers and batteries.

Sounds like a good 3.7 and LR atty's are the way to go?
IMO LR atties are going to run you the same problem as HV atties in that, currently, not a lot of distributors have them. That will probably change as the LR atty's popularity grows. If you're going to go with LRs, then at the very least keep a couple of standard 510 atties kicking around for the eventuality that you're out of LRs and your favourite supplier is also out of them.

That said, LR/3.7 is my favourite combo with the 510.

Finally, if you want to save yourself the trouble of having a bunch of carts around all the time, invest in a drip tip and see if you like it. Like everything else, drip tips have their pros and cons.

Pro: No more yanking out the cart to either drip or refill the cart. If you're already a dripper, this is the way to go.

Con: If you're not already a dripper, you may find yourself popping open juice bottles a bit more often than you'd like.

If you're looking for a good workhorse mod and want to stay at 3.7, get a Bartleby. I have quite literally beat the crap out of mine (dropped it, flooded the hell out of it, sat on it), and it's still going strong. It runs on a 14500 battery @900mah, and I have yet to drain this thing throughout the course of a day. Charges via mini USB and operates as a passthrough at 4.2v when plugged in. Put a regular 510 atty on it and call it a day.

get a chuck, hands down..................case closed.

I'll be seconding that emotion.... I had mine built with a 510 atty thread and use Joye attys and drip. I go two to three days between battery changes using Ultrafire LC 18650 2400mAh 3.7V Li-ion batteries. One on a charger and one in the Chuck.

No atty burn ups in about three months of Chuck use, but I only lost one using stock 510s in nearly a year so I'm not sure what I do differently. It's a big device, but it sure doesn't look like your smoking a cigarette. Plus they stand real nice on their end when you're sitting at the bar.
