What Mod do you recommend for a vaper who's country might ban vaping soon?

[rzil]

Well guys what's most important for me is the durability of the mod , how long will I use it before it will stop functioning for whatever reason.

I'll be honest , I'm a bit scared of mechanical mods but if I got no choice I will buy 1 but I also heard that the VAMO is built to last for a very very long time and there isn't much to concern about how long it is going to survive.

what do you think?

I personally would not go with a VAMO as I've heard the opposite.

I'd go with an SS mechanical mod. Most only have a few parts that would ever need to be replaced as long as you take care of them. Springs, screws, and magnets can all be replaced for cheap if something goes wrong with them. If for some reason you are unable to replace a battery then you are out of luck no matter what type of mod you have.

Wha vamo, built to last ? no.
On the regulated side the obvious choice given those parameters is the provari. This one is built to last and has been proven to in most cases.

But in this situation what I would get is a mech. Really several cheap but sturdy mech clones, the brass M16 on FT is a good example of this: you can throw this thing on the wall as much as you like, it won't care.
It's also telescopic so it can take all batteries you throw at it. The switch is not stellar but couldn't be simpler to manage and repair if needed. Basically nothing in there can really break.
I'm not a big fan of the look myself but I love it as my last line of defense mod. I often carry it is my bag without batteries in 18350 mode which makes it super small, just in case my main mod has a problem. It's only problem in this usage is that it's quite heavy.
Also IIRC it's $10 shipping included, this is really the perfect backup.

But all this discussion is very rhetorical imo: I wouldn't fear not being able to buy mods in the future, even if vaping is banned in your country. I mean what they could ban is the juice or nicotine I suppose, but battery tubes ? All too easy to work around. Just sell them with an led screwed on the 510 connection to turn them into frigging torches, problem solved.

LOL at vamo being built to last long time. Mine started having constant low load error even with valid tank plugged within a month, it's due to inferior 510 connector. The center pin and 510 threads are infamous for breaking down, people even buy adapters for it.

If you are going for cheap one, look at better quality ones from Innokin (SVD, MVP, VTR) or Sigelei (Zmax, Legend or even 20w,30w)

Vamos aren't built to last. They're 'throw aways'. My gf has been through about 4 of them. If you don't want a mechanical, but prefer a regulated device, get a Provari. They are reliable, and time tested. The newer DNA boxes haven't been around long enough yet to see how well they hold up over time.

 

[CastleRat]

I had a V5 that lasted about 45 minutes. I now mostly use an itaste 134 and it is really rugged it has a range 6.5-12w - plenty for me.

 

[Broodwich]

My vv/vw vote would be for the Provari. Mechanical for the Reo if you want something that will last a looong time.

 

[gin828]

Built to last variable.... Provari hands down!!!


If you want maximum durablity thats gonna be a mech mod. They are simple to use and you dont have to sub-ohm to get a great vape. Some good mechs can be fix with a trip to a hardware store or you can buy spare parts from the maker. A lot of people bash mech mods about being so dangerous. The fact of the matter is, Mechs arent plug and play devices. You have to have common sense and a respect for safety. A good multimeter, batteries, and charger will make the difference at the end of the day. Battery safety is the key and it isnt that complicated to learn

 

[Sptz]

They;re planning on banning vaping in Israel? What the hell? But you can smoke still? haha

What's the reasoning behind it? Also, I agree with everyone, buy a couple of Stainless Steel mechs and you're good for years and years

The Vamo is not nearly as bad as some have suggested. Mine is still going strong at the 9 month mark. But I do agree that there are much sturdier mods than a Vamo. The biggest issue with the Vamo is the soft 510 threading. I agree with the suggestion of the Provari. I would also see a genuine DNA 30 (chip provided by Evolv) in a solidly built frame as a good option. I've also read many positive reveiws of the REO's.

For digital I LOVE the iTaste MVP2 personally, I put mine threw some abuse but not crazy. do NOT get k200.. can at least promise that. Will not last long. for mech mods my kamry k100 has seen some $h!t.. tho a solid (non telescope) mech might be even better like a turtle ship or something.

If you are not a fan of mech mods why don't you get them, and put a kick in ? That turns them to VV/VW.. and just buy like 4 kicks. The e-cig will last forever and if the kicks die its still usable. and if you decide you do want a mech you have it just take the kick out

 

[Steamer861]

IF I was looking at a country wide ban and not able to buy any thing else I would get a Provari + Kayfun and a Reo + RM2 I would get a few rebuild kits for the Reo and would be set for a Long! Time A few hundred feet of Kanthol and a box of CelluCotton wouldn't hurt either

Most any mod or mech will last if you baby it and protect it. For rugged use stainless steel is the first requirement.

Nothing will stand up to constant drops on concrete or being thrown around and still work and look good. The up side of the Provari is that you can send it in after the one year factory warranty and have it repaired for $25 to $40. If the circuit board pops, that's $65 to replace. The point is that you can have a Provari repaired years down the road. Any Chinese mod is going to have to be replaced at retail price after about 2 weeks to 30 days of the original warranty from the vendor.

Provari is more expensive, but it's like a fine watch compared to a lower priced offshore watch. Name brands have service departments.

You can buy two Sigelei Zmax Telescopes for the sale price of a Provari and they are rugged and well made. There's no repair department, but you get two for the Provari cost.

An MVP 2 or a VTR will slip into your pocket and provide good service. They are square box type mods.

For me I have found my perfect vape style and did a lot of research into mechs and vv/vw mods. I went with a Zen for my mech and I will be getting a provari in the future. They are expensive PVs but you cant beat their track records for durablity/repairablity. Are there cheaper options... you betcha and it all boils down to research and what fits your budget.

 

[Chelonian]

You really can't beat the Provari for a non mech durability.

However, if I had to choose one mod that would survive a post-apocalyptic world, zombie or otherwise, it would be a Super-T.

 

[MrPlink]

You want a mechanical mod, hands down no argument.

You want a mechanical mod, hands down no argument.

This.

I'd buy 2 or 3 stainless steel mechs and Kayfuns to match and roll with those.

 

[crxess]

What do I recommend
DIY supplies and practice!

Decent Mechanical and if worried about building coils - Check fasttech for a load of pre-built cheap.
Couple of basic drippers - IGO-L, etc.

Parts will likely remain in some form or other.

Wire is legal
Battery containers are legal
Fittings are legal
Batteries are legal

Pieces and parts make products that work

If you budget allows it. Get a reo. those are built to last.

Now... If you're worried about the future might I suggest learning to DIY crxess mentioned. I also recommend taking a look into the modding forum to learn how to build or in the very least maintain the mod you currently own. If you know how they work and how to build one any mod you own could last forever.

In the end I suggest a reo for it's longevity if your budget allows for it and if it doesn't then that's ok too.


(Future reonaught when my budget allows for it)
