Ego Twist at Altsmoke, or numerous other vendors. I think discount vapers has the clones for 19$, don't forget your charger. I like the versatility, and they pack a serious punch for the small displacement. Now if you want a serious powerhouse at a low price, get a VVgripper. Got one in my lap right now, and this sucker REALLY gets the job done with excellent battery life. madvapes sells a kit with batts and charger for 89$ I believe. Have fun.

The post above is the best.
When I decided to get my first I took what I didn't like about what I was using and that was battery life. I started there and decided I wanted a 18650 battery, after that it was the connection and I found 510 to be universal. So we're up to a 18650 mod with a 510 connector after that I looked at what I was going to put on it and decided on a DCT setup and at the end of the day the Silver Bullet from altamoke is what fit the bill. I could have gone cheaper but I wanted something I could drop and not have it fall apart. It has served very wish I could have asked for and then some.

    What about if your budget is $99?

    TIA!

    It's still the best entry level VV ($35.00)
    Variable Voltage Box Mod
    No other entry level VV can properly power a DCC if dual coils are something you would like to try.

    Where does the bottle go? If its in competition to the Reo then it would require a bottle to feed it.

    Some great recommendations in here.

    For my :2c: I started out with the Ego Twist. Can be found for around $17-22 and will introduce you to the VV world. Learn how voltage and different ohm heads react with your favorite juice. This will give you enough time to do some good research on what YOU really want out of a MOD.

    Good luck and research, research, and research some more!

    Do a search on here for OldGoat bottom feeders 20 bucks or so and it's a bottom feeder and nothing beats a good bottom feeder, that's why they always say "but it compares to dripping"......save the cash and get a old goat and decide after that.

    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.

    It depends a lot on where you use the vv and how easily changeable you like your juices to be.I recommend most any vv over a non-vv but sometimes people love to change juices(me some weeks not others) so the bottom feeder option doesnt always help them.The battery life on the twist is so good that a less tall one may work better for some.Good luck.

    I agree with the above for a Mod.

    Otherwise, if you just want a good PV I would suggest going with a variable voltage. The eGo Twist is a good one to start with as it is pretty versatile being a 510.
