UNBOXING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS


Packaging is your standard box in a outer sleeve, popping the top off your greeted with the ZERO 2 resting in a plastic cutout with the 1Ω pod already installed on the device. Underneath the Zero 2 is the other 1.3Ω CCELL ( ceramic ) pod along with Vaporesso's braided charge cord, user manual, warranty card, anti-counterfeiting card and a nice bonus of a 10ml reusable fill bottle that comes in handy to transfer juice from a glass dripper tip and saves space for out and about juice carry.

This bottle's tip is tapered to perfectly fit the PTF fill port for a easy mess-free juice fill. As you can see the ZERO 2 is a high gloss device with a almost 3-D effect that is more pronounced in direct sunlight and give off some nice effects, it's also a fingerprint magnet that is noticeable in bright light but hard to see in normal or dim lighting.


20211004_132805.jpg



Those of you that have the original ZERO will notice that the ZERO 2 has a more streamlined shape to it that Vaporesso says is more ergonomic in the hand, my large hands can't really feel a more ergonomic feel because it's so compact but I will tell you it's design with the tapered hump is very comfortable and give it a great look, kind of like a sports car or space ship in my opinion.

Vaporesso calls the color of the one that was sent to me Black/Red, the Gunmetal Grey body really accents the curves and bends of the device. You can see on a side view how the body angles are tapered as well as the hump in great detail.


20211008_132629.jpg



Branding was done very well with only the back of the device having it, very lightly VAPORESSO ZERO 2 is etched in and in a shadow can't be seen.


20211008_132445.jpg



As you can see the ZERO 2 is a very stylish compact device and because of the thinness of the bottom it can't be stood up and must be laid down on it's back so Vaporesso decided to use the bottom as the charge port which is the best location for it keeping the ZERO 2 looking seamless in it's appearance.

20211008_132320.jpg



Inside the ZERO 2 are 2 spring-loaded contact pins that connect with the Gold contacts on the pods, between them is the auto-draw air-nozzle that is raised up off the floor of the device which helps in 2 ways, if any liquid was to ever get on the floor the nozzle being raised would prevent any from entering it, 2nd I think being raised as much as it is helps to deliver a smoother break up free draw.

20211004_143300.jpg



The pods are also color coded helping you remember which is which without having to look to see to Ohm's markings, people with vision problems greatly appreciate that such as myself.

The Red based pod is the 1Ω mesh one and the Black based one is the 1.3Ω one that is a CCELL ( CERAMIC ) pod. On the right side of the bottom of the pod next to one of the Gold contacts is the PFT filling port that is spring loaded and opens for filling when a inserted bottle tip is pressed inward.

The supplied 10ml bottle works great and so does 100ml bottle tips. Using either bottle tip works great without a mess and not having to unplug then plug back in a piece of rubber as most bottom fill systems have saves you a step in the fill process. You will have a 1/2 a drop remain in the PFT fill port after filling.

As you already know this is a button free automatic type of pod system that is auto-draw only and is more on the tighter side rather than looser. The auto-draw works fantastic and never cuts off in mid-draw giving a smooth flavorful vape.

The wattage output for the 1Ω mesh pod is 11 watts while the 1.3Ω CCELL pod's output is 9 watts which impress me because it feels a bit higher on the mesh pod in my opinion.


20211004_134941.jpg

20211009_105502.jpg



The ZERO 2 uses a series of lights as a battery meter 4 total, when charging or installing a pod the number of light that lights that illuminate tell you the strength of the battery, lights will also illuminate when vaping strobing up from 1 through 4 lights. These lights are not visible just looking at the device, it must be activated for them to light up.

The mouthpiece of the pod is a duckbill type that is very lightly tinted allowing you to see how narrow the airflow tube through the pod is, remember this is a MTL only device. Being lightly tinted also allows easy juice viewing.


20211008_142534.jpg


20211009_123758.jpg



PROS

* Fantastic Auto-Draw

* Attractive

* Compact

* Lightweight

* True MTL

* Lightly Tinted Pod

* 800mAh Battery

* 3ml Pod

* 10ml Bottle Included

* Very Good Flavor

* Type-C

* PFT Filling System



CONS

* Wish There Was A 2nd Airflow Option

* Fingerprint Magnet



USING THE ZERO 2


In the time of using the Zero 2 it has never failed to fire or stop during mid-draw, very few auto-draw devices actually perform well but the one on the Zero 2 does.

As far as describing the draw goes I would put at a more tight than loose type of draw that is not like sucking a milkshake through a straw tight but tighter than my preference is, I wish you could flip the pod and get a 2nd airflow choice as some other devices have but all in all I do like the airflow being tighter than looser .

Flavor is good using the 1Ω mesh pod with plenty of throat hit to satisfy me. Break in time was very fast as I would say maybe 10 or 12 vapes, warmth is good for a 1Ω pod so that made me happy. As far as vapor production for the 1Ω mesh goes, vapor is more than enough.

The 1.3Ω CCELL pod on the other hand gives a tighter draw than the 1Ω mesh and is also a cooler vape with much less vapor production. Throat hit is good but the wispy vapor and cool vape was not my type of vape, I much more preferred the 1Ω mesh pod.

As far as leaking from the pods goes I haven't had a drop leak out from either one and I've been using the Zero for over 10 days daily so if a problem was there I would have seen it.

I really like the design of the futuristic looking Zero 2 and the almost 3-D appearance pushes it up a notch, I mentioned earlier it was a fingerprint magnet in bright light but I guess that's the tradeoff for the 3-D type of effect.


20211009_144643.jpg


The ZERO 2 gets my recommendation for being a compact, attractive looking device with nice pods that don't leak and have good flavor and having a 800mAh battery means fewer time recharging.

I would like to thank Milo and Vaporesso for providing the ZERO 2 for the purpose of this review that I hope help answer any of the questions about it you might have had.

THANK YOU

Uwell Caliburn AK2 vs Caliburn A2 Review

Today we are going to have a comparison between Caliburn A2 and Caliburn AK2. The two pods look quite different at first glance because one is designed as traditional long, while the other one is like lighter. Actually, they have a lot of similarities. So what are the similarities and differences between them? Let’s check it out on this review.



Similarities:
1. Caliburn AK2 and A2 are both made of aluminum alloy. They also feel nice in hand with comfortable grips.

2. At the top of their bodies is a window specially for checking the liquid level.

3. They are equipped with an internal 520mAh battery and output at 15W.

4. They both support Type-C charging. But the two pod kits don’t provide the Type-C cable.

4. They use the same 2ml cartridge, which has a built-in FeCrAI UN2 Meshed-H 0.9 Ω Coil to provide authentic flavor.

Differences:
1. Speaking of the function, the main difference between Caliburn A2 and AK2 lies in the fire button. The Caliburn AK2 has no fire button and thus only supports draw activation, while the Caliburn A2 supports both button & draw activated mode.

2. Caliburn AK2 comes with a lanyard to be worn around the neck, so it would be easier to carry it anywhere.

VAPX VIOLET YK6 POD SYSTEM review by hittman

Hello folks. I’m here today with another review for VapX. I was sent the new Violet YK6 Pod device and several boxes of different flavored pre-filled pods for the purpose of providing a fair and honest review. The YK6 in my opinion is very similar in appearance and function of the Violet YK1 that I previously reviewed. However, last time I only received three different flavors of pods and some refillable pods. This time I received one package of each of several different flavored pods but no refillable ones. The YK6 is a very simple device so this shouldn’t take too long to discuss and I’ll try to give a brief opinion on each of the pods that I have tried.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:

I’m not sure exactly how the retail version of the Violet YK6 will be packaged but what I received was the device in a two part box with no pods included and received a second package with a very good variety of pre-filled flavored pods. I’m pretty sure that this was due to them being for a review. As I mentioned earlier, the YK6 looks very much like the YK1 that I reviewed previously and was not aware that VapX was releasing a second pod device in this series until I received it.

upload_2021-10-8_21-25-24.png


The YK6 is an auto draw only pod device. There is a single white light on what I would call the face side which illuminates when the air switch is activated by taking a draw. There is a single symbol near the bottom of the face and no other branding. The USB-C charging port is on the bottom of the unit. On either side of the battery is a small airflow hole. I was kind of expecting the light to change color as the power was drained from the battery but it did not. The battery inside the unit is 350mah rated and delivers an output of 7 watts.

upload_2021-10-8_21-26-32.png

Each package of pods includes one coil with an organic cotton wick and three pre-filled pods that are fully sealed and are made of food grade material. The idea behind this is that you use the same coil for all three pods in the package and then dispose of the coil and pods. Then you would need to purchase a new pack of pods. I found the mouthpiece of the pods to be very comfortable to use. When starting a new pod, you simply push the coil into the pod and that allows the liquid to flow to the coil. Each coil has two magnets and two gold colored contacts on the bottom.

upload_2021-10-8_21-27-22.png

FINAL THOUGHTS:

The Violet YK6 was similar enough in appearance to the YK1 that I previously reviewed that I actually thought it was the same unit when I first opened it. It is my understanding that the pods are different but from what I can tell the battery unit appears to be almost identical.

The YK6 is definitely small enough to pocket carry and with no button or screen there’s really no learning curve to speak of in order for a beginner to start using it. The pods are pre-filled and mess free. I experienced no leaking with any of the pods that I tried while testing it and virtually no condensation to speak of. I did have an instance where I had to take a cotton swab and clean the contacts since I was having an intermittent issue with the battery recognizing that the pod was inserted. I didn’t see any liquid or condensation inside the pod port but there must have been something since it worked perfectly after that.

I tried many of the pods that VapX was kind enough to send me including the Caramel Tobacco, Mixed Berry, Strawberry Kiwi, Americano ice, and Sweet Mint. Almost all of the ones I tried had a very strong menthol in them. I kind of wish that the menthol had been left out because the main flavors of the pods was very good but felt like the strong menthol masked the flavors for the most part. The Caramel Tobacco was very good but still had a touch of menthol which I felt wasn’t needed. The rest of them had enough menthol to the point where it provided a very, very strong throat hit almost to the point where it was uncomfortable. It’s not that I don’t like menthol. I do use some menthol and mint liquids but feel like it was over done on most of the pods.

Overall, the YK6 is a solid pod device but with a 350mah battery it isn’t going to last most people all day. It is however good as a pocket stealth carry device and even at 7 watts provides a pretty nice vape.

I’d like to thank VapX and Vera for sending the VapX Violet YK6 for this review. Thanks also goes out to the readers. I don’t have a link to the product yet as it’s not on the website yet but if you’d like to take a look at all of the devices that VapX has to offer then here’s a link to their website.

Vapers Tongue for two years now

Hey!

I started vaping 2017 with the well known Heisenberg Liquid (sub ohm).
I loved that for a year and discovered Red Astaire. I thought Holy F*, that .... is good.
And so I Vaped that for two years, 300 puffs a day, sub ohm on a mesh coil with multiple Heads, but primary on the Crown IV.
Suddenly, I noticed, that all I could taste was awfull bitterness, like when you eat soap.
I changed coils, bought another bottle of red astaire, cleaned everything up.
I even tried eating lemons, smelling coffee beans and vaped just the base for a week.
Nothing really helped, coffee gave me 2-3 good puffs, but then it came back to bitterness.

So I discovered Antimatter Neutrino, vaped that for a year now and same thing.

The problem is, that red astaire is still just bitter. (On Vapefly Kriemhild, 0.2 Ohm single meshed coild with a 10% mixture on the 70VG and 30PG base)

Maybe I just ....ed up the smell reciptors in my brain needed for red astaire.

Has any of you experienced that too?

Joyetech Evic Primo 2 - exploded component

Hello everyone!
My eVic primo 2 stopped charging 18650 batteries. It's an old model but I love it so much!
I opened the vape to clean it up and saw the exploded part. I am trying to determine what exactly this detail is. It looks a lot like a regular battery "pill".
I am attaching a photo, I will be grateful for advice or help.

ThunderHead Creations Artemis V1.5 BF RDTA - Review

Hi ECF members, In this review I take a look at the Artemis V1.5 BF RDTA from Thunderhead Creations. The Artemis V1.5 BF RDTA was supplied for the purpose of this review by Klaus from Thunderhead Creations.

Artemis RDTA V1.5 - Powered by Thunderhead Creations


TF16sG7.png



Introduction

Thunderhead Creations are best known for their atomisers (with the Tauren series being the most popular), mechanical and semi-mechanical devices and bridge that gap being mainstream with reasonable pricing while having a higher end build quality. Here I take a look at Artemis V1.5 which is the upgrade to the original released about a year ago and like V1 is a collaboration with Tony Vapes! When I say upgrade it's more of an alternative with more traditional wicking method rather than the replenishing Steel Rope Rods as seen on V1!

The Artemis V1.5 BF RDTA is 24mm in diameter and can be used with a 2ml capacity or extended to 4ml. It utilises a single spring loaded ceramic clamp to secure a single coil build and has both honeycomb adjustable airflow and although officially side-fill has what I would describe as top-fill.

The Artemis comes with both standard and BF pins for both capacity modes and is available in 6 different colour options, Let's delve down deeper!

The Artemis V1.5 came in cardboard box packaging with viewing window so the atomiser can be viewed without opening, we have contents and branding etc on the back of the box. I received the Blue version, the options are SS, Black, Gunmetal, Gold, Blue or Silver Black.

The Artemis comes assembled in 2ml mode so has a small narrow glass at the bottom and large top sleeve which pulls off to allow access to the deck and side (pretty much top) fill port but also turns for adjusting airflow. On the front of the sleeve we have a large logo and "ARTEMIS" carved into the metal and then either side the honeycomb airflow which consists of 13 holes either side! The top-cap steps to a honeycomb 810 drip tip with "THUNDERHEAD CREATIONS" around it's base!

Moving to the base we have branding, safety stamps and a pre-installed standard, Gold plated pin that protrudes nicely. It's a nice looking RDTA which is quite compact in 2ml mode but still not too large when extended!

RDTA?

I know most atomisers of this style are referred to has RDTA's but who actually would use one as a dripper? RDTA's first got introduced by Steam Crave as the tank of e-liquid is above the deck and drips down to wick rather than the deck being surrounded by a tank of e-liquid as is the case with an RTA! But as time has gone on atomisers get misnamed constantly not that it matters but just thought it's interesting! So really an RTA like the Bishop should be called an RDTA not RTA and the style like the Artemis should correctly be called a top-coiler RTA!

What You Receive?

You receive the Artemis V1.5 pre-installed with narrow 2ml glass and short length standard pin. Also in the box is a wider 4ml glass tube, screwdriver and Coil lead length cutting tool. You also receive QC Card, Warranty Card, Manual and two 4 Core Fused Claptons which are Ni80 with 3.0ID and 0.25ohm, they do look very decent and a step up from the usual standard included with atomisers!

We then have the Accessories bag which comprises of spare O-rings, M4 screws, a spare ceramic clamp, springs, tank extension section, Allen Key and 3 510 pins (both short and long BF pins and the long standard pin)!

It's Various Parts

Up top we have an 810 drip tip, although THC drip tips are high quality I usually find them too low profile personally but the one that comes with the Artemis is much more the height I prefer! We then have the top-cap/sleeve which pulls off to reveal the deck, looking inside the sleeve we can also see an inner section with extension to the airflow system and protruding plug for the fill port. The tip section of the plug is Gold plated and pulls free which unless it's because they only wanted the very tip Gold plated and the easiest way was to have that has a separate part I don't see the point of this detaching as all it does is make it possible to lose with it being so small!

Next we have the deck section and underneath a central cylindrical column that can be unscrewed so the included extended longer column can be fitted if using the 4ml glass! The glass fits between the deck section and base plate and is sealed top and bottom via O-rings. A peak insulator and 510 pin gets pushed into the central column and is tightened with the supplied screwdriver.

Filling

Obviously one way of filling will be using on a BF device with the a BF pin installed, the liquid travels up the pin and out through holes either side about 75% of the way up so comes out the pin just underneath the deck to top the tank up! Really when using a BF pin with an RDTA atomiser of this style the BF bottle is used as an extension to the capacity!

When you pull the sleeve off you will see a fill port to one side which is at the slightest angle so classed as side-fill but in reality is a much more convenient top-fill and I had no issues at all when filling via the port! Looking inside the top sleeve you will see an extended Gold plug which plugs the fill port during use so you need to make sure the port and plug are lined up for the sleeve to fit properly, that plug also serves a purpose when adjusting airflow but more about that in the next section!

The Airflow

The Artemis has honeycomb airflow which consists of 13 holes either side. When looking inside the top-cap/sleeve you can see a metal inner section which has a thick walled airflow section either side with the same matching 13 holes per side, this not only means the airflow becomes jets of air aimed at the coil, a proven method for both good flavour and smoothness but also the thickness of these sections really helps to reduce the chamber, another flavour encouragement attribute!

This inner section can be removed where you will find there is an O-ring between the outer sleeve and inner section. The protruding plug for the fill port is attached to this inner section so when the sleeve is placed over the deck this plug goes into the fill port but what that also does is prevent it turning when the outer sleeve is turned so the outer sleeve can be turned but the inner section stays stationary allowing the airflow to be adjusted!

Extending The Artemis and Changing To BF Pin

The Artemis comes with the 2ml narrow glass and short standard pin pre-installed. You have a main central column that extends down from underneath the deck to the base and the glass sits between the deck and base plate sealed both top and bottom with an O-ring. To change just the pin then simply use the included screwdriver to unscrew the pin and pull out, if the Peek insulator surround also comes out just pop that back into place and then just screw in the required pin, you get two sizes of both standard and BF pin so you can use in either mode whether the atomiser is 2ml or extended to 4ml!

I extended the atomiser to 4ml which meant I would also need to install a new pin as it needed one of the two long pins so I installed the long BF pin! First I unscrewed the base plate which allowed the glass to be removed and then unscrewed the shorter central column along with the pin. I then popped the long BF pin with insulator into the included longer central column section and screwed onto the underneath of the deck section, popped on the larger glass, screwed the base plate back on and tightened the pin!

The Deck And Build

I really like this deck, very simple and well executed! We have two postless terminals and your leads get fastened in position by a spring loaded ceramic clamp which is loosened and tightened by a single M4 screw from the side of the deck! I also used one of the included coils for the build because they look very decent, it's good to not only receive a couple of coils but for them to be of high quality!


5Jo8iB7.png



First you need to cut your leads which if you want you can use the included coil lead length tool, I cut them to the 5mm length which is marked on the tool to be the perfect length but felt they were slightly too long so did cut an extra 1mm off each lead so I would recommend 4mm (maybe try 5mm first, can always shorten but can't add back once cut)! Using the Allen key provided just undo the clamp and pop your leads in, while keeping the coil steady with a coiling rod or fit for purpose tool tighten the clamp to secure your leads then straighten your coil with the rod! Then give your coil a few pulses to burn off any residue and strum out any hotspots, although mine had none and glowed from inside out from the first pulse!

Wicking isn't difficult, your wicks can just poke through your wicking ports or you can have them dangling in the tank whichever you prefer as long as it's not packed tight through the ports which will suffocate the flow it really doesn't matter!

Feed your cotton through the coil and cut to the length you require, I did give my ends a quick comb through (nothing too drastic) and retrimmed before placing through the ports! I then primed the exposed cotton and coil and fired it up to admire my work!


1AsFbxD.jpg



Although using with a BF pin on a BF device, I am using it that way to maximise capacity so also filled the tank first via what I am going to call top-fill! (would anyone really describe this as side-fill?)!

My Thoughts!

It seems harder all the time just lately with atomisers to find faults which can only be a good thing and with the Artemis V1.5 there's just a couple of petty things and that's about it. I haven't got the original but although this is not a con I must admit I possibly would of preferred that version because I do like RDTA's with Steel Rope replenishing rods but then as I mentioned in the introduction this is not so much of an upgrade or supposed to be better but is just offering an alternative in regards wicking as in V1.5 rather than V2!

I believe all rebuildables should come with everything needed to do at least one build and this comes with not just one but two very decent coils but no cotton, come on THC throw a bit of cotton in (I told you any cons are very petty)! I'm also not a fan that the tip section to the fill port plug detaches as such a small part could easily get lost! The only other slight con is when closing down the airflow less and less of the coil receives air the more it's closed down rather than just a reduction of air that's evenly distributed and although I didn't notice any reduction in flavour when reducing the airflow with the supplied 3.0ID coil I do wonder if using a 4.0 or even a 3.5ID coil it could effect flavour!

This RDTA gives bags of air and I kept forgetting it hosts just a single coil with the amount of vaper it produced, THC have a knack of releasing atomisers which deliver top notch flavour and smooth airflow and that is certainly the case with the Artemis! The build came out at 0.27ohm and I used it at 50W with 40% airflow open which was still more a DL draw with just the slightest restriction rather than a semi restrictive draw and it really doesn't close down enough to give enough restriction for even a medium RDL draw!

I love what is included and that it both can be extended to 4ml and can be used with either standard or BF pins with either capacity. The top-fill (it's not side-fill) works really well being able to fill quickly and mess free and I really enjoyed using it with the 4ml glass and BF pin for all that extra capacity from the BF bottle!

The deck is so well executed with large terminals and ceramic clamp which loosens and fastens with just one screw making coil installation as easy as it gets! The Artemis comes in more standard packaging rather than the metal cannister inside a pouch but the atomiser itself is the usual high build quality I have come to expect from Thunderhead Creations!
