Okay, I've been vaping for a little while now and love it. No more negative smells, ash, insane costs, negative chemicals etc. Weapon of choice (at the moment) are 2 1300mAh Vision Spinners. Why? Because I can't find what I want and really don't think it's obtainable - sigh
I want to get into RBAs and know it isn't the best idea to do so with ego style batteries. So I need a mod / APV. Okay, fine but I can't find one that I like. Call me too picky or say I'm asking for the moon. That's fine but I don't think what I want to be unreasonable at all. I mean we are so far past where we stood as a community / industry from just a few years ago.
Please, you must be joking you say... well let' see if you can find one that fits the bill.
What I want in a MOD / APV - and good luck!
Protected MOD / APV - while there are many that love and have mechanical devices I'm not ready. I want a protected device to make the move from simple ego style to a MOD / APV with less concern over battery issues. This is not a thread to talk about how safe mechs are... I just want a protected device. This does not include mechs with separate fail safe fuses.
Threads for both 510 and ego - while I could get an adapter why should I? I use 510 and ego threaded stuff, have a ton of parts and heads and blah blah blah... it needs both. Yes, there is a lot to be said about using an adapter to get what you want or to save your 510 threads but that just brings me to my next bullet point.
Build Quality - I don't like the idea of some China Made devices being talked about as it might come to you perfect or it might not. The device might be good for a day, week, month or who knows but then again you get what you pay for. No, if it is made and sold it should be made with quality IMO. So may people have talked about the Vamo being a great device but in the same breath talk about it being all over the range of quality that it turned me off.
Looks - oh boy, here we go. Since this is different for everyone let me jut tell you what I think looks sexy. Lavatube v2.0 or v2.5 (bodies are the same), eVic, Wizard Evolved and the Wizard Apprentice Evolved as SS is fine for me and a few others. Oh, and the Tree of Life looks amazing. There are others to but this should be a fair cross section.
Multi-Button Controls - I don't like the single button for fire, menu, adjustments, etc as fond on the Zmax and others. I want a three button system or like the eVic where the fire button is separate from the adjustment ring.
Back to Treads - I don't want to worry that my threads are going to pop off, no longer work, get jacked up from one RBA to a carto etc. The soft threads statement makes me really nervous.
Size - Would still like the option of not having to carry a backpack to just have my mod with me. I mean if the Lavatube V2.5 had both 510 and ego threads I would be 98% sold (damn it looks sexy) but it is still really large / thick (that's what she said). eVic seems to be an okay size but sick of hearing about the treads being so weak and power limits... and I would like to use 18650s... on to my next bullet point.
Power Limits - I don't currently do sub ohms but still think a device should be able to put out enough power to handle it. I mean if a cheap Vamo can then why can't a more expensive device like an eVic?
Cost - I'm willing to spend $80.00 - $100.00 for the device. So this puts me in the range of the Lavatube and eVic (80ish for unit or 100ish for a basic kit). I think the eVic when all said and done was around $135.00 (kit + extra battery + charger). The Lavatube was around $125.00 I think when all said and done. This is because I want at least 2 2000mAh+ batteries and a charger so the kit didn't work for me cost wise. It was better to get the body + 2 18650s and a charger as the kit's case, carto tank and eJuice didn't matter to me.

Evolution of My Frustration:
Vamo V3 : cheap and powerful unit. So why not? It's large with the 18650s and I have no idea of the quality that it will be when I get it (based on many many many reviews I've seen). It also don't compare to the looks of others but isn't horrible.
Lavatube V2.5 : sexy device but for them to come out with the V2 and then the V2.5 and still not offer ego threads kind of turns me off. Then the size issue is a kind of a negative to me as well.
eVic : I though I was sold on this but the power limit and very weak threads are turning me off.
SIGH
Again, call me picky or say I'm asking for the moon but I love to vape but have no desire to collect a million different devices just because nothing fits the bill. There should be something out there that offers these mainstream things IMO. I guess I just needed to vent... thanks for listening... well, reading I mean lol
