The eGo-Twist from Joyetech has been referred to as a “gamechanger” and I couldn’t agree more. The eGo-Twist is, in short, everything a vaping device needs to be without being complicated or expensive.

The Akston Hughes SL offers the feature set of the SVR with some improvements: the least of which is the most advanced safety design currently available.

The Gripper is a nice little 3.7v mod that offers a simple, compact vape for just $20.

The ProVari Mini has all the same features (the same control unit) as the ProVari V2. This means the Mini is the only unit of this size to have basically every feature and protection you could dream up. Overall, though the price is high, you will get exactly what you pay for here: the best of the best, in a compact size.

After almost a year of using the ProVari, I have never once had an issue with it. It has been through the ringer and has always fired right up. Now with the V2 update, it is difficult to find anything to point out in the negative about the ProVari. It remains solidly one of the best devices available.

Apollo has offered a vast improvement over previous designs of this product: a solid, heavy build with the addition of an eGo connection and a floating connector pin are the biggest standouts for this mod. All in all, an extremely high quality build brought to a design often criticized for a lack thereof.

In summary, I wouldn’t make this my main vape, however, it is very satisfying. I think it would be best served in an environment where stealth is important, or if you are going out on a quick trip somewhere and don’t want to lug a big MOD around. I wish I had an extra battery so as to always have one ready to go. Especially for the price, it’s a solid performer.
