Which Mod should I get?

[Mark83uk]

this is what I have now but I see all these fancy mods and I got to get me one but which one?
I dont want to spend too much any advice?
I like the look of the itaste and the lavatube but I aint got a clue what does what im only going off looks
Please Help!!!

also would like a good sized tank but again dont know too much about what is best the info on the net is a bit overwhelming

Get either a Smoktech Z max (Many differant sites have this also and they are all same price) or the Acrylamax from Madvapes LLC - E Cigarettes, Electronic Cigarettes, Vaping Supplies (Z max guts in an acrylic tube cheaper option) These will give you variable voltage and variable wattage in one unit you can switch between the two and find which works best for you, and a vivi nova since i see you like that style of tank madvapes does have these as well for one stop shopping. (these are on my Christmas wish list)

This is just my opinion i may be wrong and its time for a vape.

Acrylimax
Cheaper then the Zmax but exactly the same (minus the shell)

Edit: I also agree you will probably enjoy the Vision Vivi Nova Mini

+1 on the zmax. I also hear that Joytech is coming out with something similar but for fourty bucks. You may want to wait for some reviews for that. There are honestly about as many mods out there as there are opinions so you'll probably get many different answers. The best advice I can offer is to get more answers here, then do some research. Watch reviews and if possible get your hands on a few to see what you personally think about them. Good luck and happy vaping.

All the research I've done points to the vmax/zmax/lavatube having a working life of around 6 months. After that they become useless due to jinky buttons, wonky 510 connectors, or they just flat out fall apart. Having said that, if I were to purchase a vv tube mod, it would be a provari v2. Yes, they are more expensive, but I'd rather purchase gear that does not have a reputation for breaking. Provaris will also hold their resale value.

I currently own 2 reos (mini 2.0 and grand) and do not fear they will break as they are mechanical mods.

 

[Mark83uk]

thanks for the replys guys silly question tho.... apart from looking doap as hell what is the advantage of a mod over say my ego upgrade?

 

[elmattias]

i don't like the zmax as it is highly inaccurate...if you can find it the zmax version2 is the new "tuned up" version with more accurate readings, however for the current price of a zmax you might as well grab a provari :\

if you want an easy transition into VV i would suggest trying out an eGo twist, another option for a big battery mod would be the gripper from vaporbeast.com, which would be cheaper than both the zmax but vastly more accurate...

as for a nice large tank, the only thing i can suggest that would hold up long-term would be the phiniac tank....there are simply no better tanks made right now as far as i'm concerned.

Taking care of your mods goes a long way towards their longevity. That being said, the reason I pointed out the Acrylimax (zmax) is for its Variable Wattage. If VV is your thing, then by all means get an OTT Provari.

As for your last question: Battery life. And in cases such as the zmax, acrylimax and darwin, variable wattage.

 

[bulldog63h]

Battery life, variable voltage, variable wattage. It really depends on what mod you get. VV and VW can give you more or less vapor and throat hit with a given atty or carto.

a reo can break....its just that if it breaks you can fix it x.x

Acrylimax 79.99
Zmax 116.99
Provari 159.95

make your choice

 

[Strigoi]

The Provari is well worth the money IMO.

 

[Mark83uk]

so say for example I got the gripper mod which i must say after taking a quick look appears to be pretty sexy what atty should I get for the tank?

 

[elmattias]

yeah, another 40 bucks and you get a lifetime of quality vs. 6 months of a crapshoot vape....yeah you save another 40 with the acrylimax, but again, its just six months or so of a crapshoot vape.

well personally if you're going for a tank system i'd suggest a phiniac tank and some ikenvape.com platinum series cartomizers, if you want a clearomizer tank i'd get the vivi nova, if you want a straight up drip atty i suggest the HH .357

I mean what ohms like I have a 1.8 on my kanger T2 now what works best with a vv bat?

that's the thing, it no longer matters with VV. use whatever resistance you would like and adjust the voltage to what tastes better for you....your kanger will work with a VV, a carto will work with VV, a drip atty will work with VV, anything will work as long as it has the proper threading....and most of the big battery mods will have the most common threading, or 510.

Other then the fact you pulled 6 months as the lifetime out of thin air, mods are changing so much these days. In 6 months time we will have the new favorites to pick from.

 

[Duke74]

with a Variable wattage mod such as the zmax, you set the wattage to what tastes and feels great and dont mess with it again. With a variable voltage mod, you are constantly adjusting according to atomizer resistances (ohm). Keep that in mind

 

[Mark83uk]

ok great feedback guys so what you think of the gripper? to me it looks doap and the price is nice
