Thinking about a LT v4 or a Robust in the new year
I recommend the Vamo or the Provari.
Why? Vamo and Provari have resistance checking.
Vamo is variable voltage AND variable wattage. Whereas the Lavatube, Robust and Provari are Variable Voltage only if I'm not mistaken.
Lavatube chrome = ~£40-45.
Vamo chrome = £~40-45.
Don't forget that the vamo also uses the same chip as the ZMAX v2 (v1 only uses AVG, v2 uses AVG or RMS).
Provari:
Benefits
- Better build quality
- Trusted brand name
- You can buy extension tubes for additional battery sizes
- Measures resistance on the device
Cons
-More expensive (~£100-150)
-Only does VV
LT and Robust:
Benefits
- Cheap
Cons
- (unsure about Robust) You can choose either the Mini or the Full size versions and they will only accept the batteries that the size allows (mini = 18350)
- Only does VV
- Does not measure resistance on the unit itself
- Plastic models have awful build quality
Vamo (Vamo650 - not the Vamo350):
Benefits
- Cheap
- Allows 1x 18350, 2x 18350 or 1x 18650 mode (extension tube comes as part of the initial purchase)
- Does VV and VW
- Measures resistance on the device itself
Cons
- Build quality isn't as good as the Provari (or the Darwin)
- Possible issues if you stack undercharged batteries
- No instruction manuals (you can find youtube reviews of it though)
I CAN MARKET MORE IF YOU WANT! Man......I wish I got commission for this stuff
