FYI... super T manu. (via AW) has new 2000 mah IMR 18650's....AW IMR 2000
I've got the Provari Power batts 2500 mah AW P18650 too, but you can't go wrong with the AW IMR's especially for like 1.5 Ohm attys.
I like them in my Vapage XL bottom feeder, with i06 1.5 LR atty.

VVPV is up for presale now; shipping next week first run... I'm in. Pricey at $169.+ but it is the first FIRST top feed regulated VV that at least survived a long beta run. and---
It comes with batts/charger internal... 2x14500 and wall adapter charged in unit.
I forsee no big issues since it's all pretty much tech that has been long tested.

What's new for notcigs is the double 14500 batteries as far as I can tell.
I reviewed the last beta unit and really liked it a lot.
If you like dripping, this does it very good.
The Top Feed system is a bit primitive, but it works and should be easy to maintain and even replace.
Long run times on the double 14500s and stout casing ++.

I tweeted Michael asking if the EQ was dead and this is his response for those interested:

nope.. just not releasing any Info until everything is in order, it's gonna be some time but the EQ is def. not dead :)

Sadly, he seems to be, at best....unreliable...


....I'm gonna be nice, here.

meh.....me, my REO Grands, my Darwin and my provari will be just fine, I think.....thank goodness for REOS, though....what would I do without 'em.

I'll tell you all what, though....when the REO Grande goes VV....Now I know I'm living the good life.

The VV mod is just a Volcano type VV the Lava Tube. Looks like a lot of vendors are selling them now.

I don't put much faith in the EQ ever coming out like it was going to. I think if I dose come out it will be a cheaper version with standard VV unit in it. He has to do something with all the cases he had built.

Just my 2c :)

I'll tell you, MX...those cases were amazing(to me anyway)...I happened to like the shape...and the pump...worked like a charm...now if Michael could take the provari or darwin electronics and throw it in...voila....winning!

I ordered a chrome body so I might not see mine for another week. I'll be looking forward to your observations.

I got the Black body with chrome top and bottom. :) Looks like mine will be in tomorrow.

If all works out right I will order a solid Chrome next.

I am looking forward to the VV REO mods and the metal 18490 REO has in the works.

Hoping the VV Grands get done soon. Starting to have the urge to splurge again LOL

I was talking to Rob last night the plans are almost done and ready go to the printers then off to the machine shop to start on the body. He was also working on the internal electronics cover on the inside.

These things take time but Rob will never put out a mod before there time. Perfection is always on hims mind.

He has never released a second rate mod and he dose not plan on starting now.

Sounded like he was still working out an on/off switch to keep in line with all his mods.

I got black and brass for my vvProV........but mine has to go to Chaos first, I bought his GC off of him!!!:laugh:

I am getting tired of waiting for Imeo's VV add-on and I was disappointed in my version of the Kick (though I have been told its been revised with some of my critiques responded to).........I have a couple Provaris but I do like the feel of my GGs more.......sigh..........:)

That's great to hear that Rob is almost finished. Seems like he's made a lot of progress in the VV REO thread. Really like the new button on the VV Grand, it's perfect. Not sure which design he ultimately ended up with in the end for the squonk hole. Liked the first design but, once he gets done with some minor modifications then it's going to look good too.

I would be one that votes for an on/off switch. It'll make it more pocket friendly. Anyways, I'll agree with that. Everything Rob has always built top notch mods and don't expect anything less from him.

Not in my world LMAO!! Honestly, if my REO's wouldn't have worked as great as they have. Then I won't be as supportive of Rob and REOsMods in general. I guess, it's the same way you feel about your GGTS. Everyone has their favorites.

Honestly, I have other mods but, none of them gives me the same satisfaction to vaping as my REO's provide. You should really give one a try sometimes. Interested in hearing your opinion of it.

Once Rob got going with the metal Reo's, that was it. A durable bottom feed with colors too! I've never seen so much of a crowd over a pv. I guess I was not good enough of a dripper to get the bf vape right everytime... VV spoiled me, but actually the Provari with all it's meter functions taught me to be a better vaper; I can handle mechanical pv's much better now; it's all about matching the power to the resistance, the juice, and the particular atomizer.
But like the EQ, the VVPV is a TOP FEED, and it's a cinch to get perfect vapes.
