Pretty sure not New, but Heyla!

Morning everyone,

Pretty sure I've been on here before, back when vaping was a thing very few of us did, and I even tried my hand at Youtube reviewing. You'd have known me as iStormUK, think thats still a valid liberty Flights discount code too as the logins still working there.

But heyho, need info on a better unit since I still vape, seriously out of the loop these days, probably due to the hormones I'm on these days making me all scatterbrained, so I'm here to offer what insight I recall, and find a good source for info on replacing this gosh darned annoying caliburn G unit

I welcome friends, old and new, if you happen to have an issue with trans people, steer clear, otherwise, I present myself to y'all

VOOPOO DRAG X PNP-X kit review by hittman

Hello again. I know I’m a little late to the game here but I’m here anyway with my review on the Voopoo Drag X PNP-X kit that was sent to me by Voopoo in order to provide this review. The Drag X PNP-X is the latest in the Drag series of pod mods from Voopoo. With chivalry as the core theme, the Drag X PNP-X pays tribute to the glory and virtue of the knight. The mod uses a single 18650 battery and uses the Gene.TT chipset. The output is adjustable from 5-80 watts. Also included in the kit is the PNP-X pod tank which holds 5ml of liquid. The pod has a new more convenient way of refilling and an anti-leak design.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:

The packaging for the Drag X PNP-X is pretty standard for a Voopoo product. The front shows a picture of a Drag X but it’s not the color of the one that I received. I guess they don’t put the correct image on each box. It’s understandable since it would be more expensive to print all the different boxes. The back of the box has a list of the kit contents as well as the company information and a sticker marking it as a sample on not for retail sale.

The Drag X PNP-X series is designed with the idea of chivalry as the core. It pays tribute to the glory and virtue of the knight. There are five new knight colors which are as follows.

- Shield Gold- Knight Templar for defending justice

- Knight Red- Masked Knight for pursuit fairness

- Knight Chestnut- Dragon Knight for defending glory

- Eagle Black- Black Knight for brave and fearless

- Knight Gray- Paladin for spirituality



As you can see, I received the shield gold for this review. The outer sleeve slides off to expose the mod and pod tank sitting in a foam insert. Also included in the kit is VM1 coil rated at .3 ohms and the VM5 coil rated at .15 ohms. The PNP-X pod is nothing new to me. It is very similar to the pod tank included in the Drag X Pro.

upload_2022-1-16_17-1-6.png


On the right side of the mod are the words Gene Chip Inside etched into the metal frame. On either side near the top you can see the airflow inlets. This is adjusted by sliding the protruding pin on the back of the pod port. This design has been used on many Voopoo products.

On the left side of the mod is the Voopoo name etched into the metal frame. On the back is a very nice padded leather like material that has a crown and shield design stamped into it as well as the Drag name.

The display on this mod will look very familiar if you have used other Voopoo Drag mods. The display shows the following from top to bottom.

- The Drag name and battery indicator

- Set wattage and mode of operation( Rba or Smart}

- Coil resistance and output voltage

- Length of time of current puff and Puff counter

Above the display is the nice sized fire button which protrudes slightly. Below the display is the + and – buttons followed by the USB-C charging port.

The operation of the mod functions is as follows.

- Press the fire button five times to turn the mod on/off

- Press the + and – buttons to see the Chip ID

- Press fire and + buttons to lock the device

- Press the fire and – buttons to reset the puff counter

- Press the fire button three times to switch between RBA and Smart modes


upload_2022-1-16_17-3-37.png


The pod opening on the device has the metal ring around the perimeter of the interior of the opening like is commonplace on pod mods and is held in place by two torx screws. Below the ring are the gold plated electrical contacts. The Drag X PNP-X does not have auto draw like the S version does.

upload_2022-1-16_17-4-14.png


The PNP-X pod comes with a sticker on the side that says press and slide to the left. Once you do this the rubber fill port plug is accessible and the pod tank can be filled. The drip tip on the pod has a nice metal ring on the bottom that matches the color of the top portion of the tank. This tip is replaceable in case you don’t like it. I personally think it’s fairly comfortable to use and used it the entire time I was testing it.

The coils are simply pushed into the bottom of the pod to seat. I always put a few drops of liquid in the coils before installing them to help prime them for use. It’s still a good idea to let the tank sit for a few minutes before using it the first time with a new coil.

As I mentioned earlier, the two coils included are .3 ohm and .15 ohm. It was rather unusual for me to run at or above the top end for any stock coil but with the .3 ohm coil I found myself running at 41 watts and it was still a fairly cool vapor. There was plenty of vapor and pretty good flavor but it was cool. With the .15 coil I liked it at 48 watts and had the airflow about ½ open. This was a little warmer but still a fairly cool vapor. I tend to like a cool vapor so it was a pretty good fit for me. I did find myself wanting a tiny bit more warmth with the .3 coil. You can see in the picture below that the .3 ohm coil and .15 ohm coil have different colored o rings to make it easy to see which coil you are installing.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

I really enjoyed testing the Voopoo Drag X PNP-X kit. In the past I had experienced some liquid seepage with earlier versions of the PNP coils and tanks but had none of those issues with this kit. I had a very tiny amount of condensation and no leaking whatsoever.

It had been a while since I’ve used a Drag mod so I have to admit that it took me a while to get used to having to press the fire button once to wake the device up before it fires. I believe this is a safety feature but could personally do without it. It only does this after it sits for a while unused. The Gene chip seems to work well and fire pretty quickly. I felt like I got very good battery management with the .3 coil after getting over 360 puffs with the output starting at 35 watts and worked my way up to 41 watts. Of course using the .15 coil at higher settings will result in fewer puffs.

The Drag X mod is really rather small despite using an 18650 external battery. It is small enough to fit in a pocket after locking the device and is comfortable to hold with the leather like padding on the back of the mod. I did notice that the lock function locks the whole device and there isn’t a way to lock just the adjustment buttons. That may be a complaint for some people. I honestly almost never use that function on any mod.

Overall I was fairly pleased with the operation and performance of the of the Drag X PNP-X kit. I’ve always liked their coils but like I mentioned had gotten some seepage in the past but not with this one.

I’d like to thank Voopoo and Aimer for sending the Voopoo Drag X PNP-X kit for this review and once again thanks to the readers. Below is a link to the website for you.

Used stuffs

Hey buddies, I've been collecting all my used e-juice bottles since 4 years ago, what do you guys usually do with them? Do you just throw them away in recycling bin? Does it worth at all? The other question, I have some stuffs that no longer use them, for example a SMOK Big Baby Beast tank with 8 spare glasses, Voopoo T2 tank with several glasses, a few packs of different coils like Vaporesso Ceramic GM coils, SMOK and VOOPOO's, 2 unused PNP pods, Freemax M Pro tank and coils, a Brand new Aegis Max mod and ,,,,,, .

Is there any website that I can sell them? Anyone might want them at all? Any Opinion?

New or slightly used Smoant Battlestar squonker

The Smoant Battlestar 200w dual 18650 battery squonker is my favorite squonker and I like having a stash of them. I'd like to have a couple more but they can no longer be purchased. If you have one of these that you would sell for a reasonable price, I'd like to take it off your hands. The price I'd pay would depend on the condition. I do not care about the color. Payment would be through PayPal.

VOOPOO VINCI Q POD review by hittman

And here I am again to provide yet another review. This time I’ll be taking a look at the Voopoo Vinci Q pod kit. The Q offers a 900mah battery capacity and uses the same ITO technology pods as the Vinci Royal edition. The body is a two-tone textured injection molded plastic and is available in six colors. It offers an output range of 11-15 watts depending on the pod used. Unlike the Royal Edition, it has a fire button but can also be fired using auto draw. The Q is compatible with the pods of the Vinci Pod as well as the Drag Nano 2 and Royal Edition Vinci Pod.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:

The Vinci Q is more of a budget model when compared to the Royal Edition that I received for testing at the same time as the Q arrived. The packaging for the Q is quite simple. The box has a clear window on the front that lets you see the front of the device inside. The contents include the Vinci Q, one 1.2 ohm ITO pod preinstalled, USB-C charging cable, and user guide. I’ve seen this in the past with a few other pod kits and really don’t like it when only one pod is included in the kit. If by chance someone gets a bad pod then the Vinci is unusable until they purchase more pods.

upload_2022-1-15_16-26-53.png


The body of the Vinci Q is made from an injection molded plastic. It’s very lightweight. The outside of the Q has a textured appearance but is actually smooth to the touch. It must be a multilayer of some sort. As you can see in my pictures, I received the pink color for my review. I have to say I’m not a fan of any pink devices.

The front of the Q has a single button that can be used to fire the device or it can be fired using auto draw. The button illuminates whenever the output is on in either mode. If the battery goes below 30% then it will be red instead of the normal green. Also, the light flashes when charging the 900mah internal battery and goes solid green when it is finished. The cut off time for the Q is 8 seconds.

It’s a little hard to see but also near the bottom of the face is a Q molded into the plastic body. Just like on the Royal Edition that I also reviewed, there is a groove on each side of the body. On one side is a single airflow hole and on the other side is another airflow hole and the USB-C charging port where the airflow control was on the Royal Edition. The Q does not have adjustable airflow. However, I find the preset airflow is a very good fit for my vaping style using the included 1.2 ohm pod.

On the back of the unit there is the same textured appearance but smooth to the touch. Molded into the body is the Voopoo name. It’s a little difficult to see since it’s the same color as the body. I would have thought that they might have wanted to make it a different color so people could see the company name better. It may show up better on one of the other colors though.

On the bottom of the unit is the word Gene printed indicating that the Q uses the Gene chip.

upload_2022-1-15_16-28-24.png


upload_2022-1-15_16-28-38.png


The pod port on the Q looks pretty much identical to the Royal Edition. Inside are two gold plated floating contacts as well as a recessed area in the center that contains the raised airflow sensor to prevent the airflow port from taking in condensation. Just like with the Royal, I experienced almost no condensation and no leaking at all while using the Q. There are no magnets inside the pod opening or on the bottom of the pod.

The pod comes preinstalled with a sticker on the bottom that reminds the user to fill the pod and leave it unused for five minutes so the coil can be saturated. This sticker also keeps the user from accidentally firing the pod while the coil is dry. Of course, it must be removed to use the device after filling.

upload_2022-1-15_16-29-10.png


The 1.2ohm ITO pod included is the same as the one in the Royal Edition that I also reviewed. Once the mouthpiece is removed there is a rubber gasket that must be lifted to fill the pod. I kind of wish that Voopoo could come up with a design to eliminate this gasket where it could be built into the top cap or something so you could just remove the mouthpiece and fill. Not a big deal but would be an appreciated improvement.

upload_2022-1-15_16-29-44.png


FINAL THOUGHTS:

I felt like the Vinci Q performed very well. It was nice having the option of either using the fire button or the auto draw feature. I have to wonder why they chose to put a button on the less expensive Q instead of putting it on the flagship Royal Edition. It would make sense to me that the more expensive unit would have more features. Anyway, it’s just thoughts running through my head and not really all that important.

I like that the pods are compatible across a few different models so it gives the end user some options as far as what type of pod device they want to use but still get the features of the ITO pods. I thought the pods gave pretty good flavor for a pod device and plenty of vapor production. There was almost no visible condensation and no leaking at all during my testing. As I mentioned earlier, I do feel like every pod kit should come with two pods and this one didn’t so that’s a con in my book.

Although pink isn’t really a color that I would buy, I felt like the 900mah battery lasted a long time with the 1.2 ohm pod and it is a liquid sipper. I felt like I got a lot of use out of it before having to refill the 2ml pod. I would like to see some different colors on this device. I don’t mind at all that it is made of plastic. Yes I do like the weight and hand feel of the Royal a little better but this one isn’t bad at all. To me it’s more important how the device performs than what material it is made of.

I’d like to thank Voopoo and Aimer for sending the Voopoo Vinci Q pod kit for this review. Thanks also to the readers for sticking around until the end of yet another one of my reviews. I hope I didn’t bore you too much. Below is a link to the website if you’d like to look at this pod or look around at the devices Voopoo has to offer.

Has anyone bought from vaping dot com

I placed an order well over 3 weeks ago now spending over $40. I accidentally put in an email address I no longer have access to, therefore I have no confirmation email. I’ve tried asking if there is another way to look up my order since they took my money. But when I call I get a recorded message saying it’s been disconnected or is no longer in service. I have sent several emails, just trying to get a response, which I haven’t gotten. I am just so frustrated that now I am trying to figure out how I can just simply get my money back, so I can purchase my items else where.

The dimensions of this kit are quite small, however the screen is of considerable size and the large side button of the fire contributes to a good general ergonomics of this kit.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:

First of all, I have to say that I was blown away when I opened the package that was sent to me by Voopoo. It is my understanding that I received one of a limited edition gift box set for the Vinci Pod Royal Edition. Besides the Royal pod being beautifully done, there was a box filled with gold colored silverware, a gold bottle opener, and a gold badge. What a very impressive gift set indeed.

upload_2022-1-15_9-4-38.png


upload_2022-1-15_9-5-1.png


However, if you decide to order a kit, this is what you will receive as standard packaging and contents. The standard kit will contain the Royal pod device with the .8 ohm ITO pod installed and a 1.2 ohm ITO pod in spare packaging along with an instruction manual and a USB-C charging cable.


upload_2022-1-15_9-6-13.png


The Vinci Pod Royal Edition is a draw activated only device. The body of the mod is made from aviation grade 6061 aluminum and zinc alloy. A good combination of quality materials were used for its construction. That is just the beginning. The amount of time and effort that went into the design of the Royal series is astounding. The detail of the face of this pod was made by master sculptors and experienced artisans. The design inspiration I believe was taken from the royal craftsmen of ancient times. It took eight months of twelve manufacturing processes and 68 steps to create what we now see as the Vinci Pod Royal Edition.

As you can see on the face of the Royal below, it has a beautiful appearance and can tell that there was a lot of time and effort put into this design. Near the bottom of the face are the battery level indicators which are green, blue, and red. The colors indicate the following battery levels.

- Battery> 60% = Green

- Battery 20-60% = Blue

- Battery<20% = Red


upload_2022-1-15_9-7-4.png


On either side of the Royal is a groove cut into the body which gives it a really nice hand feel. On the left side contained near the top of that groove is a single airflow hole. On the opposite side is the infinite airflow control that allows the user to go from a very tight MTL to a pretty restricted RDTL. It slides vertically to adjust the amount of air allowed through the opening and has a raised button that makes it easier for the user to get a grip on it with a thumb to slide it. With this adjustable airflow control, one might ask themselves then why have the single hole on the other side? I think it’s for those that want a super tight MTL draw and choose to close the slider completely and only have that minimum amount of airflow that the single hole allows.

upload_2022-1-15_9-7-48.png

The back side of the mod is smooth and just has the Voopoo name etched in it along with the word Gene on bottom designating that they Gene chip was used in this device. The Gene is a proprietary chip made by Voopoo.


The bottom of the mod is curved which doesn’t make it ideal for standing on a flat surface. It will stand but is easily knocked over. I personally almost never stand these types of small pods up vertically. It just seems natural to lay them down. Also on the bottom is the USB-C charging port which allows the user to charge the device fully in about 50 minutes to bring it back to the full 800mah capacity. The mod will deliver 8-15 watts of output depending on the resistance of the pod used at the time. I see in the specifications that there is an input voltage listed but did not see an output voltage listed. I noticed very little difference while using it between the time when the green light was lit and the blue light was lit indicating a 20-60% battery level. The flavor and vapor production were still very good for a pod device.

The opening for the pod on the battery unit and the pod itself do not have any magnets like we have become used to seeing on most pods. Instead the pod securely clicks into the opening with no movement or chance of coming loose accidentally. The opening of the mod contains two floating gold plated pins as well as a raised airflow sensor to help prevent any condensation from entering the sensor. I think it’s interesting how the center portion that holds the sensor tube is recessed. I’m not really sure why that is. Where that tube meets the bottom of the pod there are three small airflow holes in the bottom of the pod as well as the electrical contact that meet the pins in the base.

I found the mouthpiece of the pods to be very comfortable to use. The ITO pods are top fill which I very much appreciate and am glad to be able to refill the pods without having to remove the pod from the battery. I just push the mouthpiece to one side to pop it off and underneath is a thin rubber gasket that seals the pod. Lift that and you can easily refill the pod. I use a lot of 10ml plastic bottles and was able to easily refill the pods without any mess. I also like that the pods are clearly labeled on one side with the resistance rating. Don’t forget when filling a pod for the first time to let it sit for at least five minutes to saturate the coil so you don’t burn the coil. Also, don’t overfill the pod. That can create issues.

The ITO pods offer upgraded leak resistance. While puffing the condensation will flow back to the interlayer which improves the leak resistance. The condensation will be sent back by the airflow and vaporized again. From what I can tell after testing the pods, it does in fact work. I have seen almost no condensation and have had zero leaking. These pods are compatible with the Vinci, Vinci Royal, Vinci Q, and I believe the Drag Nano 2.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

I very much liked the design aesthetics of the Royal pod. The sculpted face is simply a work of art. However, when it comes to vaping devices it’s not all about looks. The 800mah battery may or may not last you all day depending on how heavy you vape. I didn’t measure it exactly but was able to get through 4-5ml of liquid on a charge using the .8 ohm ITO pod. I didn’t pay as close attention on the 1.2 ohm pod but can only assume it would last a little longer.

The Royal makes use of the Gene chip and is auto draw only with no button to turn it on or off. It really doesn’t bother me to not have a button on a device like this. The auto draw works very well in my opinion and the flavor and vapor production is good for a small device such as this. I was actually surprised by the amount of vapor the .8 ohm pod produced.

To me having a pod that is top fill like these pods are is a huge selling point. Top fill pods don’t seem to be that common but it is definitely something that I prefer when looking for a pod kit.

So, would I recommend the Vinci Pod Royal Edition? If you’re looking for a well performing pod device that is simple to operate and from what I have seen has almost no condensation build up and no leaking as well as being a real piece of artwork then yes I would recommend it. Sometimes things just work well and this pod does in my opinion. It doesn’t hurt any either that it is very pleasing visually. I would very much like to see some of the other designs in person of the Royal Edition line of devices.

I’d like to thank Voopoo and Aimer for sending this amazing gift box set for my review. Thanks goes out to the readers as well if you made it to the end. Below is a link to the website.

Bench Test Results: EVE 33V - 10A 3200mAh 18650…good performer, about same as Sanyo NCR18650GA

These tests below only note my personal ESTIMATED ratings for the batteries I tested at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, Murata, LG, Panasonic, Molicel, or Sanyo can change at any time! This is one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.

Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of property damage, personal injury, or even death. They are not supposed to be used outside of a fully protected battery pack and you use them at your own risk. Never exceed the battery’s true continuous current rating and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition.

Testing batteries at their limits is dangerous and should never be attempted by anyone who has not thoroughly studied the dangers involved, understands the risks, has the proper equipment, and takes all appropriate safety precautions.

If the battery has only one current rating number, or if it only says "max", then I have to assume the battery is rated at that current level for any type of discharge, including continuous.

Test Results
EVE is one of the large, established cell manufacturers in China (EVE). This is a good performing cell, a bit better than the LG MJ1 and about equal to the Sanyo NCR18650GA at 5A and almost as good at 10A. Performs a bit better than the EVE 25P, 26V, and 29V at 10A or lower. I recommend staying below 5A-7A to reduce the voltage sag and help to extend cell life.

I think the 33V could be a decent cell for low power vaping and large PEV packs, powerbanks, and other low power uses if you can find it for a lower price than cells from the big manufacturers.

This cell has a 60°C maximum surface temperature rating. Do not allow the cell to get hotter than this. This can easily happen in a battery pack or other setup where many cells are operating near each other.

The cycle life rating in the datasheet is decent but I have not tested it.

The two cells I tested delivered 3206mAh and 3236mAh. This is typical consistency for cells I’ve seen from the larger China cell manufacturers and meets the 33V’s 3200mAh Typical Capacity rating.

Two cells were purchased for testing by me.

Me so sad

I’m not sure how many people here vaped e-liquids from Om Vapors and their Umba Vape and Express lines. Sadly the company went out of business due to the latest round of regulations.

I miss some of their juices and am looking for clone recipes since I’m now DIY’ng.

Anyone know of any sources? I’ve been doing a web search the past couple of days with no success. On the positive side I did find some King’s Crown/Suicide Bunny clones!
