I would strongly recommend the Vision Spinner 2 as a variable voltage battery. It's 1600 mAh so it'll last quite some time -- depending on your vaping habits. The Vapor Talk store has them for $29 each, which is about the lowest price for these that I've seen and they're guaranteed not to be knock offs as well. Even after vaping for over two years now, it's still my go-to battery even though I have other more "advanced" mech mods and APVs. I like these even better than a Provari. *ducks thrown objects by Provari enthusiasts* Welcome to Vapor Talk.

Some times a person just needs to spend some time with what they gots and explore all the potential. Seems to be a lot of folks going from one device to another around here. I have been at this a long time and have found you can get a very good vape from most all the devices out there with the right liquid and technique.

I just want to give a shout out to Vapor Talk in general, and Christopher in particular. You see I wanted to order the E Pipe from the Vapor Talk store, and when I went to finalize the order, it seems my country, Malaysia, wasn't an option. I messaged Vapor Talk to ask how I could have it delivered and Christopher responded with remarkable speed and efficiency, He said that he would add Malaysia to the shipping destinations and I think that in less than one day, there it was! I ordered 2 and now they are in transit at some shipping station in New Jersey. Thanks Christopher that was a really awesome response. Cudos to you and Vapor Talk. Just a note, that you make Malaysia shipping the same as USA with Name, City, State, and Postal Code.

There once was a Sergeant Marine Who invented a vaping machine Concave or convex To suit either sex With a drip tip attached for the steam.

just placed the order, gotta wait till next week to get it. -2 x 26650 Purple efest batteries -Stainless Steel 26650 Mutant -Stainless Steel 28.5 mm Stillare -cherry vape cloud chaser drip tip -intellicharger i4 -orchid RTA Holy crap thats the most I've spent in a while lol

Mcquinn is SPOT ON TARGET! I started with eGo-style and cheap clearomizers... moved up to better Kanger tanks (lots of them), better eGo batteries, then added an MVP 2.0 to gain VV/VW and longer battery life between charges. From there... I forced myself to stop buying new things and really explore juice and work on saving all that money I wasn't spending on smokes or new toys! After 4 months of enjoying vaping (and pocketing savings), I decided to try RBA and bought two Mech MODs and two Russians... the next step was an RDA (and $30 for Kanthal and Japanese cotton), and I'm really happy with my Magma's flavor. Sure, I'd love to have a dozen more MODs and even more (and more) RBA/RDAs, but I don't "need" them... I just "want" them... and knowing the difference is why I've not spent thousands of dollars yet If you're vaping to get away from smoking, a simple set-up is all you "need". I have one friend who's been vaping for 2 yrs and she has probably spent (not counting juices) <$200 on hardware... 3-4 Spinners and maybe half a dozen Vivi Nova tanks. Another person I gave my original starter kit to is still using it months later, and only added a Spinner-II, two Aerotanks, and a Nautilus to his arsenal of gear. If you're chasing clouds, you can still do it on a budget set-up. A good quality Mech MOD, couple of quality batteries, charger, coil-building materials, and a quality RDA (or two) and you're all set ... just add juice If you're really into the hobby aspect, you can easily drop thousands of dollars buying every shiny bit of hardware out there, but in the end, you wind up with a lot of toys on the shelf, as you'll find that you still gravitate towards one or two device combinations (and the rest will collect dust). I know about the "dust collection"... I just cleaned up several Kanger tanks, and plan to pay them forward to friends! So, in a nut-shell... you can vape happily for <$100 in hardware... for a VERY long time! There is no rush to find your Unicorn, and honestly, everyone else's preferred equipment set-up is usually not yours (or mine), which is why there are more than one brand/style/color of everything available on the market!

Just the mAh rating. Sony V4 is 2100 mAh Sony V5 is 2600 mAh

I've tested like Tam... and get different readings between different devices, however the APV readings are always the worst (inaccurate). My new ELeaf Ohm meter and my Fluke DMM match, and my no-name Ohm meter is usually within 0.02 (give or take), which is close enough even for sub-ohming readings. I don't trust my MPV's readings for anything but telling me the coil is not shorting out and that the device knows there is a coil there. When you say "safe", what do you mean? On most APV devices, they will fire coils down to 1.2, and some will go down to 0.8 before the safety features prevent them from firing. So, yes... in that regard, coils higher than 1.2 Ohms are "safe" for most every APV or eGo-style battery sold (crappy clones may be an exception?) You are correct in adjusting the Voltage or Wattage to find your sweet spot is the key, but if your juice tastes best at 8.5W, setting your APV to that will maintain the same taste (or really close) regardless of the coil's resistance. That is how I use my MVP today... I can use a 1.5-2.5 coil @ 9W and the juice tastes the same... but the battery drains a tad faster with lower resistance coils, and higher resistance coils take an extra second to heat up enough to really produce flavor/vapor.

Yap, FDA regulation don`t mean squat. People die every day from USDA inspected Beef, toxic toothpaste, and otherwise spoiled food. No need to mention the car recalls and failing banks and falling buildings, LOL. I personally would`nt buy that liquid due to no info on the bottle, that does`nt mean I would trust the FDA to make sure its good.

Tam, I won't throw anything at you, I promise! I do really like my Provari, but everyone has their go-to set up, and everyone's is different. That's why I still use my MVP2 too. I like 'em both! Welcome to VT, Ben!

Just don't forget about the back-ups... or should I say don't let them sit on the shelf collecting dust! Use them in rotation so they get some love, use, and recharged from time to time... that way they'll be usable when you NEED one!

There's no such thing as having too many back ups!

Nah I didn't take it that way. But I am a noob when it comes to vaping. Now if someone needs an antenna for 7 mhz, I am a pro at that.

So I tried it myself. Using a KPT2 and a brand new stock 1.8 ohm coil. My Provari mini says it's 1.9 ohms. My Evic says it's 2.1 ohms. My iTaste VTR is reading 1.9 ohms. When I put it on a dedicated ohm reader it's reading 1.8 ohms like it's supposed to be (although stock coils are notorious for not being exactly what they're supposed to be). These variations are not surprising as I know better than to trust an APV to read the resistance accurately.

We dont know the long term effects of vaping. It hasn't been around long enough for studies like that. Vape at your own risk.

Not mine just had to share...
