Agreed. It looks like when they made this one, they actualy knew what they were doing.

This is my second e-cig, btw, and I feel like I'm being spoiled. My only comparison is the "smoking everywhere gold 3.0," which is a huge rip off, and the VX2 outperforms it in every way, at under half the cost.

Btw, I'm looking forward to the M201 Pen Style review. If it outperforms the VX2, i'll buy one in a heart beat! Also, how does the M402 compare to the VX2/M201?

Thanks

I got side tracked cleaning house and forgot to charge my other battery for the M201. I just dusted the one I was using as well as I was setting up the video camera to do the video review. I'll get them charged and tape it tomorrow. I don't want to give too much away here in written form, but lemme tease you with this....

What do you get when you have a DSE801 penstyle, but it has a VX2 type battery, and atomizer nearly 2 1/2 times the size of of a DSE801 pen atomizer? IT'S A MONSTER!!!!

Just as the VX2 has been called the "New 901", the M201 is going to be called the "New 801".

I promise to keep this review UNDER 10 minutes. Maybe.

Oh, BTW, if this is only your second device, you got REAL lucky. Many of us burned through 5-8 different models before we found a keeper.

That's the impression I have been getting from reading these forums

I'm hoping for equal success with the other models up at litecigusa. So hurry up and review them for us already!

no offense to the fan boys of this VX2 (because i wish i could become 1 of them already!) but i really wish someone would send me a unit that made me agree with some of your reviews on this thing...I bought 4 of them in 1 shipment and although im now in the process of either having all parts replaced or refunded I just had to chime in and let y'all know its not always a one way street with this thing. I'm having a pretty bad time with 3 out of the 4 units, and the 4th one might be on its way out after only a day already.

3 bad atomizers that all taste burnt after 3 days use (yes ive been topping off ALOT, mostly because those atomz refuse to wick properly from the cart once the top 3rd of the cart is vaped...they are wasting a ton of my liquid ill say that :-))

All 4 batteries dim out LONG before reaching the cutoff point (they dim at an average of 3 seconds...ALL of them)...I have to use the "trombone" technique to keep them lit long enough to produce normal vapor and throat hits. (and nope, i never dripped...i had already read about NOT doing it with this unit before i ordered it)

...and while i received a "box" with everything i ordered, nothing had the original seal or "shrink wrapping".

So out of 8 parts only 1 is working properly out of the box after 3 days...tomorrow is day 4 and the only thing left to see is how this 4th atomizer holds up under normal use...i think it might already be developing the burnt taste but im not sure of that yet. The sad part is that when this 4th atomizer works well I can certainly see the potential that the unit offers...but with so many bad parts right out of the box plus more parts breaking within a few days use, I cant say that the longevity or reliability of the products I received warrants anything but a thumbs down on MY list.

This is my 6th model of ecig and although they all tend to have their little problems and quirks, I've never received this much junk for parts in 1 single shipment, lol....the frustrating thing for me is that I really dont know if its the sellers fault, or if this is just a bad and unreliable model with design flaws or something.

I dont know what to think...cept I aint payin for THIS!

[Figurehead]

Wow, sorry to hear that. The only problem I had was I dripped on one of my batteries and killed it, and I had a bad charger to begin with but everything is vaping away like crazy now. I love mine. I hope it doesn't sour you too much on the model. I'd like to think you just got a bad bunch.

Hangar, I get the burnt taste if I don't keep the Cart very wet. You don't have to, and shouldn't, drip the VX2, but what you lack in dripping on the atomizer, you make up for dripping on the cart.

You're right about refilling the carts after the top 1/3 of juice is gone. So far mine is working great, though. Just as long as I keep the top of the cart wet.

If you chain-vape then you'll go through the liquid pretty fast. However, I don't think you'll go through it any faster than if you drip. The only difference is you're topping off the cart instead of applying juice directing to the atomizer.

I didn't like mine at first. In fact the first 30 minutes of use I was really disappointed and very upset, because the thing barely seemed to work at all. But once I got use to the quirks, it worked like a charm. As long as I have a full bat, and a topped cart, it works beautifully.

Gah, someone reassure me...

I also really want to love my VX2 as much as everyone else does, but I can't say it's doing much for me at the moment -- other than making me re-appreciate my trusty old 901. :P

The biggest issue I have with it is the draw. I can't tell if it's too easy or what, but I have one heck of a time getting a good puff off it. I'm a "gulper", tend to take the vapor into my mouth first and then inhale it -- and I seem to get indigestion more than anything else with this model. Very little flavor, some okay vapor if I puff on it like a cigar, but bleah. If I could taste anything, I'd like it a lot better! Maybe I just got a crappy atomizer? It seems to get plenty hot, but I'm not seeing plumes of smoke like in the videos.

The battery life does seem better, but that could also be because I actually avoid smoking this dratted thing. I'm using it as my "out and about" e-cig because it really is reliable and long lasting, just not pleasant. The carts last longer than my 901, and I do love that this doesn't leak like my 901 is prone to do.

I'd love some suggestions as to how to make it work better for me -- I'm forcing myself to keep smoking on it to try and break in the atomizer, but I'm starting to wonder if it will ever be worth it. Maybe the promised manual batteries, when they become available, will make it better? I'll hold out hope...
