When did you decide to go mod?

[mung]

Been vaping around a month or so, and LOVING it thus far. But the more I look online and research, the more I want. My little 510 doesn't seem as powerful as it once was. Brand new attys, fresh batteries and a usb passthru...I think I've already made my mind up to grab a Silver Bullet. (I haven't read one bad thing about it and it will still most of what I've accrued for my 510.)

My question for the wise ones:

When did you decide to go big? What advice would you have for a slightly dry behind the ear n00b for jumping into mod world? Is the SB too much for someone starting out? How can I keep my girlfriend from finding out?

Thanks!!!

I decided to go big when a short road trip turned into a long one and my 6 standard 510 batteries and PCC charger in the car could not keep up with my vaping. (Yeah, I qualify as a heavy vaper.)

Go with what you think will work for you in a mod, same advise I would give anyone. You like the looks of a SB and the battery life is near what you think you need and you can afford it, then it is the one for you.

It's not a V12 with twin turbo chargers with a 6-speed stick and you are not a new driver, so I doubt it would be too much for you.

Tell your girlfriend how she has improved your life, specifically-not-generally-be-very-specific, and how much she means to you. She could care less what you're vaping on after that.

Decided on the DIY mods shortly after I found ECF & the Modder's forum.

I was simply tired of changing batteries every 2 hours..I started out a simple 510, then went to the 3.7v Little Chuck and now I stepped up to the PureSmoker Prodigy V3.1 6v mod..Once you go 6v you'll never go back..

I went mod the first family camping trip. 2 weeks with limited outlet availability. Longer batt life and USB charging hooked me.

Definitely the battery life that did it for me. I got so sick of charging the 510 batteries so I checked out the modders forum and followed the tutorial on building a nicostick. I used that for a long time before ordering my first commercial mod. I would get something with a set up to run 3.7 and 6v just so you see what the difference is and whether you like the higher voltage. The SB I believe will fit an 18650 3.7v battery or two AW LifePO4 3v batteries.
