Hey guys,

My boyfriend has been vaping for a few months now. He is currently puffing on an eGo (or something like that). He is desperate to upgrade his vape, and it's his birthday in 2 weeks, so I thought I may spoil him a bit.

His friend has the Smok Alien, which he really likes. I looked at the Smok G-Priv and that looks pretty cool, too.

Any advice as to what I could get for him? It would have to be under R1.6K though.

Thank you!

Both the Alien and G-Priv are great kits. Keep in mind that both require 2 batteries at around R180 each so that may push you over budget unless you're going to make him buy his own batteries :)

Thanks :) I think I may go for the G-Priv. He can buy his own batteries haha. Do you know how long they last? Or are they rechargeable?

How long they last depends on how hard he vapes, how often he vapes, what coils he uses but generally speaking the battery life on a gpriv is quite good. He will more than likely get another set of batteries... then another mod ... then another tank ... and then wire and wick... then diy juices.... then ... then .. then.
Enter the rabbit hole. It's so nice in here. Look at all the puffy clouds.

The batteries are rechargable. You can charge them directly from the micro USB port "like cellphone" on the gpriv but many believe it better to use a dedicated charger.

The batteries are rechargeable, depending on the battery and how it's used they should be good for at least 300 cycles.

The G-Priv is awesome and certainly a major step up from the ego thingie he's using now, he's going to love you forever :--P

Ps. Invest in a fan, it's going to get quite foggy :-D

From all accounts on here thus far the G-Priv is great. Quite a few reports on the Alien's paint flaking off.
Problem is the G-Priv mod (the battery part) does not come with an atomizer (the part the clouds come from) as far as I know. Your bf's current atomizer is certainly not going to cut it on top of the G-Priv.
Consider the Hohm Slice, which includes a 26650 battery (big battery for long life) and fast internal charging for R1100.00. That leaves you enough money to buy him an atomizer like, for instance, the Merlin Mini at just more than R400.00. I got these at www.vapecartel.co.za, but see their web site is currently closed for maintenance. Should be open by 4 January.

Rx 2/3 250Watts =- Future proof mod :D
even has a puff counter :)

I think it depends on what he does, where he carries his mod etc. : 3 batteries: you need deep pockets - 2 - It's like any other mod . Wattage is lower on the 2 batteries, but will still be super efficient - mod starts around 1000 : then 3 batteries - can be minimum 435 {Samsung 30Q at 145 each :D} - These prices are Vape Africa Specific :D

As you can see there are plenty of options, and a lot of them simply boil down to personal preferences on a multitude of criteria! I don't particularly love the G-Priv, but if I opened a present on my birthday with my ego in hand, I would backflip from excitement if I found a G-Priv inside!

WIN. Girlfriend of the year award nominee right here.

Doesnt really matter what you get him. Loyalty points earned just by thinking of a setup. Applause all round.

Agree 100% with @craigb . Get him a gift voucher. Another option is to make an agreement with the vape shop that you can swop out the unopened gift if he has his heart set on something else.

I also started on egos and owe the fact that I quitted smoking after 35 years to them.

Battery imbalance


Need external charger

Battery imbalance is from USB charging. And it's your mods that have unadjustable atomizer pins----> get some compatible tanks and you can blow clouds for FIVE DAYS at a time. None of you will beat that with other mods.

That is also why I suggest a Wismec Device: Rx200s it then. Battery chargers of external sort is an investment, and can be treated as such with long term usage. As said, I can get 5 days on 10 month old Samsung 25R's - Greenies

Anyway, whatever you decide, it will definitely be a winner when upgrading of any sort..

My ego//twisp// Got upgraded to an eleaf 30Watt last year, with a subtank mini, and boy,, that was an adventure :D vape everywhere :D

The Voucher from SirVape would probably be the best all-around gift to surprise with :D

Hope you all enjoy the birthday.

Funny no other mods ive owned gave me problems because of 510 that is adjustable.... only the wismec. Also the budget here is 1600 no matter how big of an investment the charger is to me and you.

Maybe just me but I'd prefer opening a real, well researched, kick-ass mod as apposed to a voucher. Makes it a little more personal me thinks. Besides the BF will definately still buy other goodies he researched if the bug bites.
I honestly think he is a very lucky guy having a GF buy him such an awesome gift.

Gpriv has build in balanced Charging at 1A from a few articles Ive read, so no need for the charger just yet ( I would recommend buy a decent one later though).
