Glv reviews

[The Wiz]

Here is my review of the GLV-2(5v)posted elsewhere on the forum:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/for...ml#post1498563
First off, I seldom do reviews. I am definatly not photogenic like Grimm Green or BigIceDog so I don't do video reviews. I am not rich either,thus I have only purchased 3 mods since I started vaping in early 2009.The Prodigy V1 has been my main vape since I purchased it way back when........Until Now!

I really,really wanted to buy the GLV-1 when I first saw it,but was always concerned that if I dropped it(I have dropped my Prodigy several times),I would break the atomizer weld connection on the top cap. I did like the look of the unit itself,and it was built by a local supplier.

The GLV I purchased is the 5v w/resistor.....It is also available in a 3.7/6v option(without resistor)and the 3.7v Mini. Another fantastic feature is that the head caps are interchangable.

The Unit: The new head cap is one solid piece of polished aluminum(which can be color powder coated if need be).I could drop it a thousand times and would not have to worry about the same problem.The atomizer connection itself is a 510(which comes with an adapter if you choose the 801 or 901 model),and is replaceable if the threads ever wear down or become stripped(nice feature!).The head cap also Sports the GLV logo.

The button/switch in the head cap is what really sold me on this device. It is a round military grade button that is known for providing(I think Jay said 1,000,000 clicks or something..LOL)long life. I happen to enjoy the "Clicking"sound it makes when I push it. This is one rugged switch/button folks. The switch is located at the top of the head cap and is thumb activated....although I have tried it with my index finger also...thumb seems like a better fit.

The tube is high grade aluminum also and can be powder coated to color preference,and there are many colors to choose from. Etching is also available up to(Don't quote me here)7 characters for personalization.

The bottom battery cap is spring loaded and comes of and screws on easily,and can also be powder coated.It is also vented for protection.



Performance: This Mod is a Vapor Monster.This is without question the best 5v I have tried.I noticed the difference in power from my Prodigy V1 from the get-go. I have tried all three atomizer types I own 510,801 and 901 and have noticed vapor production and throat hit have improved with all three. I personally prefer the 801(penstyle)with this unit.

I had been using Tenergy RCR123A 3.0v with the Prodigy but they seem to work best when fully charged. I would recommend that anyone purchasing this device invest in AW ICR 123 3.7v batteries for the ultimate vaping experience. These are protected batteries and the charge(so far)lasts all day for me,and I am a heavy vaper.Tenergys are cheaper but do not bring the Mod to its full potential.It's worth the extra cost for the better batts IMO.

Overall: This is a terrific and extremely solid mod....very rugged and sturdy with some weight to it...but not too heavy. With the new dawn of Variable Voltatage Mods and Chucks this keeps pace with the competition. If your looking for a well built mod and consistant vaping performance the GLV-2 is for you!

nice review Wiz... we can all compare our new GLV2's at the meet next month...

Good review Wiz. Agree totally with your assessment. I love the switch.. Works much better than a mechanical switch IMO. Allows full voltage thru this switch..
The Mini is fantastic. Best 3.7 Mod I own and the 5v without a doubt is the best 5v PV out there..

Got Mine two new GLV2 caps and they do not work!

Well right anyway they vape for about three hours and then stop like the batteries are out of power, but if I put then into my old GLV top cap it Vapes great even over night.

also they will not vape with a 901 atty, they only one it will work with is the titan 510 and for that I must take off the adapter.

What else oh yea there is something green in color inside were You screw on the atty. I do not know if it is a risis. or a wire but it is not sealed.

Well Smoke 51 got Me to quit smoking and custom PVs got Me to go out and get a carton So as busy as Jay is maybe in the next year or so He maybe able to fix these caps.

And then maybe I will quit again.

Later,

Just wanted to give my input/opinion of the new GLV2.

Originally, I planned to do this review AFTER July 4th...being that I JUST got it two days ago and wanted to give it a little more time vaping heavily. However, I got back into town earlier than expected and have been SO damn impressed with this device, I felt I NEEDED to share the info!

What I did NOT say in the video (or show) was that I have used every atomizer/adapter/carto combo available. I found the 510 cartos to be my favorite carto set-up, and both the 510 and 801 set-up most enjoyable for regular style atomizers. The others work well, but for me, I enjoyed those the most.

This is a VERY solid, hard-working 5 volt device. I have not used a ton of 5 volt devices, but out of the handful I HAVE tried, the GLV2 is most definately my new preference.

The improvements/updates Jay has implemented shows that he listens to his customers and is dedicated to his customers. Each update shows a high level of quality and the GLV2 proves to be a solid built, quality driven, high performing, hard working PV that I haven't put down since I recieved it.

Here's a pic for those that may not be able to see video.





Please enjoy the review and I will have a follow-up on lasting quality/performance in about a week or two. (Although I feel my opinion will not change )

I wanted to add that I own 2 other 5v devices and although they work well, the GLV2 takes the cake in performance. My other 5v devices are not regulated, as they are completely mechanical, but I think I like the electrical switch better, as it vapes the same from a fresh battery charge to the last poof bc it has a regulator installed- where my other 5v devices do not and show a dramatic gradual drop-off in voltage thru the course of the day.
