| I have been researching about variable voltage mods such as the Fistpack v3, The Buzz, and the Precious.
Being variable voltage allows you to find the "sweet spot" of any particular flavor. Being able to fine tune the voltage would also allow you match different resistance atty's and adjust the vaping temperature to different juice formulas to their best performance. I have seen some reviews where a Buzz user vaped some french toast. He said at 5v he tasted the somewhat of the french toast but at a lower voltage he could taste the butter and syrup. Kind of funny but got me interested, here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmYsvcylC0U
I listed some features and specs of the one's listed above in this thread: Is there a section to talk about commercial mods?

| Yeah, I made a couple of mods, two at 4.2V, two big battery mods and one 5V "experiment" that went horribly wrong (Note: NEVER use a plastic toothbrush for a HV mod!  ). They were all 510 based.
The big battery mods hold 4.2V for almost a full day, and are fairly tasty. The 4.2V mod stays at 4.2 all the time. I actually find that usually (for the 510) ~3.8V is the sweet spot for flavor, and ~4.5V the sweet spot for vapor. At 5V the vapor will knock you on your butt, but tastes like battery acid! (Well, not really, but it certainly cooks the juice too much. Really almost equivalent to smoking, but tastes like a Pall Mall...)

| meh, this is what turns me off about vaping.
Like someone I know says, (paraphrasing) ...3.7 volts and a big battery and I'm good to go.
Not sure I need to tweak my voltage for french toast, idk, maybe it's just me.

Most of the time I'm either here or in my car, so having a wired power source was simple. BTW, I can set the voltage anywhere from ~2.5V to 18V, although I wouldn't suggest anything over 5...I burn enough attys as it is.
So, I have a TP on charge while I'm at the computer, and a USB passthru or another wired 4.2V in the car, and can save the batteries for when I need them.
And, in your paraphrase, you forgot the juice and the NATO ammo...

| What ever juice flavor you vape, whether it's tobacco, beverage, dessert, etc, variable voltage allows you to fine tune the temperature by adjusting the voltage. Your goal may be to get the most vapor or bring out the flavor or throat hit, it allows you to find that. Different formulas of pg to vg percentages may vape differently at different voltages. Also as you use the battery power up the voltage drops and you would be able to raise the voltage back up by turning it up as it drops off to a certain point depending on the battery's capacity and the voltage your trying to maintain.
Not all juices are best at one voltage or another depending what your preferences are. In addition to different juice formulas, the different resistance attys or cartomizers work best at differing voltages. You have high voltage attys, low resistance attys, standard attys, expert attys, then all the different manufacturers. Low resistant attys come different resistances depending on manufacturer. Even if you have 5 of the same attys they may vary due to quality control of each brand.

| I'm just waiting until they get it perfected. Vaping has only been around for about 5 years, and we're still on the "learning curve" of things. I bet they could make an atty that would last even ME 6-7 months, but where's the money in that? Someone will come up with a more robust way of vaping, until them I'll just keep burning up 510s and gumming up cartomizers...

| New vid on the Precious version 2 L: Features of the U and new L Precious - The Precious 
Caesar may make one that will house 2 18500 300mAh. This one's stainless steel and holds 1 18650 or 2 18350s. He's also made a juice dispenser that will hold 3-4ml of juice.
