Why go back to regulated volts after you have a vv?

[jacquelyn]

Just curious as to why people who have vv go and purchase a regulated mod? I have 2 vv mods ( buzz pro and provari) I just purchased a lavatube. I see people loving the silver bullet and other regulated mods. I don't understand why you go and purchase a regulated on after you experience vv! Please explain advantages to me.

Preference, one size does not fit all and my guess would be a large percentage of the time it's due to size.

I've got a Buzz Pro and various other VV mods also, couldn't go without VV but I do find myself occasionally tossing my volt in my pocket for on the go especially when I'll be around people not use to vaping and want something that looks more like a cig. It's still a nice vape and and regulated, regulated is a MUST for me.

The silver bullet is not regulated,It falls off as the battery discharges.Regulated mods don't fall off,they stay at whatever voltage or watts they are set to until the battery(or batteries)cannot deliver enough power.Most VV mods are regulated.

Preference really has the most to do with it, as do the particular features of some devices to some extent. Here's a copy of the post I made in an older thread on the subject:

Well, you can still get a good vape off of a FV device, just like you could before you tried VV. You just have to be more aware of your atomizer ohms and such since that's your main source of "adjustment" then. As for why to go back to FV, I ask why not? I still use my Screwdriver on occasion, it's nice to have the small and simple PV in my hand once in a while and I still get a good vape from it. My GG is a whole 'nother animal, I primarily use that for the UFS (which I can't use on other devices), to take advantage of the adjustable draw feature or for 6v vaping with dual coils (which most VV mods can't handle this high). Of course, I am looking forward to the Kick for my GGTS

It all comes down to tastes and what exactly you're doing with it, I guess.

I still stand by that post, too. I love my variable devices, but I love my GG as well and still find the SD to be the absolute most comfortable-to-hold mod I've owned. They all have their place in my vaping arsenal

+1 Killjoy1 I have had several mods and currently own a Pvari, but I still love my KR batts from V4L. Unregulated they come off the charger at 4.2v and puke out at 3.7v. I guess it just comes down to ingrained patterning after 30+years. I still like the tactile feel of an analog sized pv. I must admit I did just pull the trigger on an Ipro and am waiting to place a special order from Croatia...hehehe

Ipro? Haven't seen those yet...

Ipro=infinity pro from notcigs,makers of the buzz pro

+1 for the silver bullet. Still is the standard in durabilty. Can't go wrong with it

Ah, I have apple on the brain. I know that one now... Just didn't associate the shortened name. Thanks mate.

I just made a similar post in the new vv forum. I love the regulated voltage of vv mods! I hate having to constanly change out to fresh batts when they start to fall off.

Logic would dictate that non-VV regulated and un-regulated mods can never match the functionality of VV. But we humans operate on much more than just logic. I imagine asthetics play a large roll in the appreciation of mods that are not VV; the rustic beauty of a burled or ebony wood mod; the appreciation of solid craftsmanship where simplicity of design can be married to tried-and-true performance and durability... a la the REOs. Also I think the aspect of tactile stimulation comes into play - like the feel and comfort of a mod in your hand, or perhaps a button that... well, just presses all your buttons.

Thank you for clearing that up I guess I thought that was when it can't change volts and only be used at the set voltage it says( did that even make sense)

Kind of, I understood it, whatever that means. There are 2 regulated mods, there is a 5v regulator and then you have VV. These will maintain the voltage as the battery drains. With 5v it's limited to 5v obviously and with VV you can adjust the voltage.

The rest are non regulated, they can use a single 3.7 battery or stack batteries for higher voltage. This is vaping directly from the battery with no regulator in line so the vape will follow the battery as it drains until it's recharged.

Edit, there's also the proprietary batteries that are regulated, usually below 3.7v, like the Ego and Volt but I took it we were talking about mods.

I think this is very true. It's how I experience using my P+ 18650, FWIW. The AW batts stay above/near 4 volts for a long time, BTW.
Though I have a Lavatube and a Buzz Pro on the way I can't imagine I'll stop using the beautiful P+. Time will show.
