why I will never go back to fixed or unregulated voltage!

[donnah]

because I don't have to! But seriously, I love the regulated voltage of a variable voltage device. I love that I can set my lavatube or my madvapes vv boxmod to a certain voltage and it will stay on that voltage till the battery dies. Being able to click a button and physically see (on a led)the voltage go up and down is really nice and worth the extra money also.

I'm not knocking that plain, simple 3.7 box mod, but I found myself constantly changing to fresh charged batteries to get the higher voltage. Now that I have vv.. I find myself using less than 3.7 a lot. BUT.. it makes all the difference in the world to know that I can dial or punch up the power when I need to. I don't mind a wimpy vape when I want a wimpy vape. It's frustrating when I can't turn up the voltage and turn that wimpy vape into a powerful hit when I'm ready to.

The great thing is that since Madvapes came out with their vv box and kit.. vv is within most every vaping budget! I already had a bunch of 14500 batts lying around so I was already set. I have both and the MV vvbox works and hits every bit as good as the lavatube, the only difference other than shape is the ability to look at a led and push a button to see the voltage go up or down. A $15 voltmeter solves this problem nicely and works with other devices as well.

wrong wordI agree with you 100% and I'v got the madvapes vv and the 5v so I would title this never go back to 3.7v because I don't have to. I'm finding more and more that I like it around 5v that's seams to be my sweet spot .But I can beef it up when I want to , variety is the spice of life .

Had a Gen I Buzz, but it had lots of issues so I sold it and got a Gen 1 ProVari which is rockin. Pulling the trigger on a IPro tonight although I'm not crazy about stacking batts but it has a great look, not many..if any problems, and the ease of a dial adjust wheel seem pretty cool.

Gotta love MV (awesome Root Beer by Top Vapor) I have been thinking of getting either the VV or 5v box for when I'm out fishing or hunting. Like "been there" the 5v seems to seal the deal, plus I like the horn button set up. I still vape my KR batts, but they are unregulated and come off the charger at 4.2v....some habits never die. I have also heard great things about the MV Gold Rush Tube.

(just pulled the trigger on SD Key Chain....hehehe..so tiny)

Coming to a theater near you.....the Superbomb, get ready for a wave of VV devices in 2012.

Those boxes are probably the best intro to VV around. They are cheap and work well.

Variable voltage seems to be getting very popular. I am looking into several different mods - either variable voltage or variable wattage (Darwin). Nice to be vaping now as there are so many choices.

 

[Mrtrucker40108]

Variable voltage and variable wattage are different sides of the same coin.
Just looking at diff part of Ohms Law. A novelty though.

One thing I've noticed is Vaping drawing more folk into electronic construction or at least some knowledge of the principles involved. As a Ham Radio Op I see it as a bonus.

I agree after I got my first vv mod I sold all but 1 of my 3.7 mechanical mods

I also love my Lavatube and even though I vape pretty consistently at 5V knowing that I have the option to go up or down is satisfying. I got a Reo Grand today and while it isn't VV you have options with battery configuration to change the voltage you use. I am using 4.8 NiMH batteries in it now to vape at 5V as this seems to be my sweet spot. With battery configuration I have the options of 3.7V, 5V, 6V and 7.4V.

Congrats on your Lavatube and welcome to the club!

I have not tried variable voltage. I do like going from LR cars to reg. VV may be worth the try!

 

[Dieseler]

Yeah i too like vv , put together a poor(retired) mans vv kit for madv and its nice as i can dial it down somewhat for the morning vape and up a little as the day progresses.

 

[Creniker]

Im fine with unregulated voltage for now. Once the kick comes out I'll have myself a Variable Wattage Megaladon, and thats all I could ever want.

 

[MaxUT]

I like to dial down my Buzz Pro when switching to a fresh carto, then gradually bump it back up as necessary to maintain a good vape. When I used a 5V Prodigy the first few hits from a new carto could be somewhat rugged!

 

[jacquelyn]

I love my vv. in the morning I dial down cause its harsh at night I dial up. Never going back or looking back

Wondering why I'm vaping this 3.7v SB while both a VV and a 5v are sitting right here by my elbow.

Do you think it could be because I like it?
In my book there is no "this is the only way"
