Pick me a mod please dear forum

[fitzroy]

Ok so the old Vamo seems to be die-ing (I keep having to adjust the centre pin) and I'm in the mood for a new mod. Fancy a Provari (don't we all) or one of those DNA 20 wooden box mods which are just lush but I'm too mean/poor so looking for something more Chinese. Don't really want another Vamo, but want another vv/vw 18650 mod

So I guess the candidates are the-

Innokin VTR - the fact that it is really heavy kind of puts me off, even though I'm a big bloke, also reports of failing battery doors. Like it's look though.

Innokin MVP - Not keen on the internal battery

Sigelei Zmax - Don't really know much about them, other than the reviews

Innokin SVD - Looks good value but the button arrangement and silly raised

Anything else I should consider, quite keen on a box mod of some sort too.

Choose for me oh wise ones

Would reccomend svd or vtr, I have both and love them
also have an mvp 2 on the slowboat

[meeee]

if it were me I would opt for the Sigelei Zmax 3 or 5.

[scaffman69]

Z-max all day long.......hands down either telescopic or not, both a bang on .

I like the vtr, best. Mod I've ever had, but like everything It's all a matter of opinion.

As an owner of several TZmax's I have this in my Fasttech shopping basket.

www.fasttech.com/products/0/10006734/1531203-authentic-sigelei-zmax-v3-telescopic-variable

WHY should you get this version over others?

Because it's telescoping, you can use 18350's if you want a dinky small mod, 18500's if you want a mid size mod or 18650's if you want a day long no-recharge light sabre! Fantastic build quality and does not seem to suffer with centre pin woes like other mods.

Oh and did I mention it's only just over £25 delivered from FT?


And if you want one that looks VERY MUCH LIKE A PROVARI then get this version:

Did I mention I liked them ?

ehm - question of a newbie : what's the big difference anyhow between 'normal' batteries like the ego or evod batterie and all those mods - does it make a big difference when vaping ?
am very willing to learn

sorry fitzroy - hope you don't mind me asking an additional question here

The two main differences for me are that you can vary the hit, by upping or reducing the voltage or wattage supplied to the coil.  Thus allowing you to give the vape a stronger kick if you need it, or a lesser kick if you don't.  Rather than a straight voltage every single time.

The other is battery life.  These little ego style batteries are fine, but jumping from 900 mAh to 3400 mAh from your mod means you can, in theory, go the whole day easily without running out of power and needing to charge it up.  Assuming your not maxing it out power wise, with a 1 ohm coil...

The variable wattage is the most important to me though.

thanks xs2man - guess I have a lot of reading to do here - and will follow ideas of this and so many other threads

[xs2man]

Have a look at this too...

[fitzroy]

Thanks all. Those Sigelei's look very tempting (understatement) at that price - I haven't really ordered any e-cig stuff direct from China - presumably they are "genuine" items , how long does shipping take?

[fitzroy]

D'oh never mind just found it

[andy01424]

Siegelis personally dont like the menu system.....nothing like the vamo

SVD yes button raised,but not noticeable after a while,besides it locks in what you have set it to so accicental change wont happen,can be a pain with evods as they get stuck in beauty ring[mine did]

MVP---- good piece of kit battery lasts for ages down side feels lopsided with heavy attys on it

VTR-- yes heavy,not had door problem,restricted to certain housed atties..pillar for eveods etc to be used...for single 18650 lasts all day and i vape heavy out lasts the svd /mvp


All in all the VTR wins for me a impressed with it,but also was with mvp/svd---- so for position 1st Vtr 2nd SVD 3rd MVP

[dickyg]

I have an SVD and MVP. These are my daily devices and haven't failed me yet. The MVP v2 sometimes has an issue with connecting with certain atties, but then I just chuck them on the SVD. I'd imagine a VTR will be my next purchase.

[fitzroy]

Ok, bought the Zmax linked oop ^^^^. Guess I kinda wanted the VTR a bit more but parsimony got the better of me. Thanks all.
