A couple months ago, I purchased this kit on a whim to try something new, out of the stream of traditional 510/808/whatever we all love. I didn't think it would be anything special, but I was wrong. I'm not sure how to structure this review, so I will structure it the way I would like to read a review.

What's in the Kit
-$50
-2 batteries (automatic or manual)
-5 cartomizers
-USB charger, wall charger, car charger
Vapor Quality - 9/10
The vapor of this unit is great. It's very close to my eGo kit. The differences are that the Extreme Kit vapor is warm, which I like. It also produces vapor instantly, unlike the 510, which has to warm up for 1-2 seconds. The Extreme produces vapor right when you inhale. The amount of vapor is great too, just about the same as a 510 - very thick, dense clouds, almost like hookah smoke with a 4-6 second drag! With a 1-second drag, it is more than you'd get with a cigarette. I like this! The taste is great too. Their coffee flavor is phenomenal. I'm also a fan of coffee. I have not yet tried the others, but I did get a cherry disposable, which was amazing too.
Battery life - 9/10
The kit comes with 2 batteries at 280 mah, which for me, one battery is about 3/4 of one day, and sometimes the whole day. The batteries are longer, but I don't think as long as the 510 Mega batteries. I am very happy with these batteries, they last a lot longer than my regular 510 batteries, which stopped holding a full charge a couple months after I got them. These Extreme Kit batteries are very solid, as explained next.
Construction - 9/10
This unit is very structurally solid. I build computers, so I know a flimsy component when I see one, and I have also been across many flimsy e-cigs (gas station/711 ones, cough cough). I am glad to say that this is not one of them! The 2-piece design enhances the structural integrity of this unit. The battery housing is solid, I have dropped it on concrete twice and nothing has happened, aside from minor scratches on the plastic tip, which of course is bound to happen. But no dents, no loosened connections, still in perfect working order. The chargers are heavy and solid, which is great with small parts. The cartomizers are wonderful; large and solid. None of mine have leaked or anything. I did have one cartomizer that wasn't working properly out of the 10 that I ordered, but I got free replacements, which I will mention later.
Service/Policies - 10/10
I had one dead cartomizer out of 10, so I contacted customer service expecting a "sorry" and a wave like I have experienced with all my other electronics that have broken, but instead they shipped me 2 new cartomizers for free the next day. This is because of their 1-year warranty, effective for a year should any parts break down. At first I was worried because I thought it would only be covered by their 30-day return policy, but the 30-day policy is for if you decide you don't like the kit and want to return it completely. They also gave me free shipping since my order was over $30, and a free disposable since my order was over $60. I got my order within 5 days, which is great for free shipping! I could not ask for more in the service department, A+.
Final Verdict - Awesome product and company! Will be a customer until I stop vaping. Overly satisfied, which is the opposite of the norm these days with electronics companies! Great job guys, can't wait to see future products. I haven't seen Apollo's name around here much, hopefully that will change!
I will add pictures when I find my camera, haha.
