After having vaped like a champ for two or three months now, using exclusively an ego-c twist 1000mah and vivinovas, I can't help but lust over all sorts of tube mods. I first was seriously considering biting the bullet and going straight for a Provari as I'm a bit concerned that after all the incredible VV action with my twist, I might be let down by the vapor production and limitations of a fixed 3.7V vape; however, after having perused the classifieds and seeing so many vets with non-VV/VWattage Caravelas, GG's etc., powered by a 3.7V 18650 w/ lo res attys/cartos, I'm much less concerned. Plus, funds are limited and saving cash for juice would be key-- but I digress.
And so, my first question: I have six or seven 2.4ohm vivinova heads; how would they vape at 3.7V? I do have the ohm's law chart and it seems to indicate that it'd be perfect, but I have tinkered around a lot with voltage settings, adjusting to taste (and usually settling in around 4.4-4.6V) and for that reason alone am worried 3.7 would be underwhelming.
Secondly, the Kick: If I do end up with something like the Silver Bullet or Omega, I'm sure it'll end up kicked down the road. There are extension "sleeves" for the SB to make it compatible with the kick-- what about the omega? I like the idea of the omega's mechanical plunger switch, not to mention I think it's a much more elegant looking mod.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly: any suggestions other than a SB or Omega? I'm not too keen on getting something like a lavatube, just cause I could spend a bit more money and buy a Provari. What are the community favorites for a ~$100-$150 budget (150 would have to be a beaut, as I could get a provari starter kit for 200)? I don't have batteries either and was wondering if these aw imr 18650's are industry standards for anything else, so that maybe I could purchase them locally so I know that when the mod arrives I'll be good to go.
I know I had more questions in mind, but I can't think of them now and this is already a long, multi-topic post to begin with-- sorry about that. Can't wait to hear from you guys... Thanks in advance!!

I realize that getting the Provari is a big chunk of money all at once, where as the mechanical Altsmoke mods you can gradually add what you need to get close to what you can get with a Provari, but to me it makes more sense to save up for the Provari in the long run.
