Lambo V6 VV & VW 20W

[smifee]

Hi All

Only been vaping for 3 weeks.

Now using a Smoktech SID with Aerotank and Protank 3.

The SID has a known problem where it just cuts out. Cured by unscrewing battery cap & then screwing it back up. Annoying enough that I won't be getting a spare.

Looking for alternatives I came across this pink-mule.com/mods-og-tilbehør/variable-mods-vv-vw/tube-mods/lambo-6-vv-og-vw-20-watt-pink-mule-udgave- but I can't find any opinions on it.
 
As I'm only in the early stages of the shinyitis virus I'm hesitating  about ordering one in case after I've got it you all tell me they are rubbish.

Come on push me or hold me back

You know what? I bet with the right battery (the right fit) you wouldn't get this.

Hi djs

I'm using Efest 18650 IMR button top batteries. What battery would you suggest?

A possible solution would be a stronger spring on the battery end cap but I would like something that works straight out of the box.

I dumped Google years ago when other search engines gave more options & better results. Using my current search engine I got more Lamborghini hits than anything else.

Just used Google and great results. Will plough through them now.

I'm not sure off the top of my head. I just remember reading threads about in on both UKV and ECF. One poor chap had a load of trouble. He bought a SID that kept resetting. He sent it back to Fasttech and got a refund. He bought one from UKecigcabin (that's where I got mine) and then started giving grief to @sadie22 on UKV. The whole thing was just so depressing. Sure, I felt bad for him, but did Ukecigcabin then take another "hit" with replacing that one, I don't know?

In the end, somebody popped up (not me) and said, try a different battery... problem gone. Collateral damage to 2 Vendors.

I'm not saying it's perfect, but I've had 100% service from mine. I use the green panasonic NC? 18650 batteries. They are a tight fit, they don't move around.. maybe that's why they work?

Good luck either way.

The batteries I'm using are such a tight fit that I have to take the battery tube right off to change the battery  so that I can push the battery out.

So next buy won't be another SID nor, having read of several faults, will it be a Lambo V6.

I want to have another VV and preferably VW device so that when SID dies I don't have to go back to using lower capacity batteries. Everything I look at has one or more problems reported except one - the Provari.

I don't want a drawer full of faulty mods. I don't mind fiddling about changing wicks and mixing liquids but I do want a reliable mod that I don't have to keep changing the settings on. 

Decision made:- I'll get a Provari and stick to coils of the same resistance so I don't have to keep adjusting the voltage. 

Going away for a few days so will order it on Thursday when I get back.

Yep. That should do it.

I mostly use the same resistance too, so VV is fine for me as well.

I am going for it (Provari) when I've squirreled away the money. I expect I'll visit Vape Escape in person with my big jar of money.

Well I've got my Provari

Son, Pete, had bought a VTR a couple of weeks ago. Had trouble with it and has sent it back. He sent me a text whilst I was away "Can you get me a Provari too?"

Ordered them from Liberty Flights yesterday afternoon. Arrived this morning. Pete finds his flat top batteries won't work in the Provari and mugs me for my spare button top giving me his 4 flat tops. They do work in my SID.

As if I haven't been mugged enough Angie decides she wants a Provari mini. Ordered from Liberty Flights this afternoon.

Well at least I've got one early Xmas and one early birthday present out of the way.

What about the Provari :- it's obvious why it's a lot more expensive. It so solidly built and although so much heavier than my other gear I'm already used to the weight. Is it worth 5 times the price of the SID? Probably not because Provape keep the price artificially high by not allowing retailers to discount the price.

However I used a comment by someone ( sorry but I can't remember the name ) on the forum to justify the purchase. He/she said it cost the same as 450 fags but instead having a pile of ash at the end you have a working device. Also yesterday I had to reconnect SID's battery 5 times when it stopped working.

I've ordered a cheap faux leather lanyard, from UK Ecig Cabin, until I can get a local leather worker to make a real leather one.
