Want to move on to a variable voltage mod after 2 months of vaping Volts and Volts X2....where should I start?
I started just like you, with the Smokeless Image Volts and X2's, except I was ready to move on after just 2-3 weeks. I wasn't ready for higher voltage yet (actually had never tried it), so just a large battery mod for longer battery time and ability to carry larger capacities of juice (carto tanks) was all I was looking for, in addition to something durable and well built.
From my research it seemed AltSmoke was very similar to Smokeless Image. Quality vape gear, great customer service, and fast delivery times. I couldn't decide upon the Silver Bullet or BB, and since my finances could support it, I ended up getting both. They each served different purposes perfectly. The BB was great for out-and-about because of its smaller size, and the Silver Bullet gave me at least a day or so battery time and could easily hold a 7 ml tank of juice. Both mods are well machined and built to take a beating and keep on ticking. I also had confidence that AltSmoke will always be there to repair or replace my mods even after the warranty period. No Chinese manufacturer could or would do that, what they make is considered "disposable".
Eventually I wanted a variable voltage device, and since my funds were still amble, I went with the Provari and have not regretted that decision one bit. It is everything that every owner of one says. It does so many things in one device, does it well every time I ask it, is also backed up by an American company that will be there for me after the warranty. That is confidence.
If funds allow, go straight for the Provari. You likely will end up with one sooner or later, so why not sooner? You can go for a cheaper Chinese knockoff and still wonder about that Provari down the road.
