New to vaping. My son gave me an vaporesso xtra and I was LOVING IT all of a sudden it won't smoke now??? When I put the charge on it's red for like 2sec then goes green if I got from it the color is red but when I stop it's green??? Any suggestions??? I was starting to really like this instead of cigarettes with ALL the COOL FLAVORS!!! PLEASE HELP THIS NEWBEEE MOM TO FIX THIS IF I CAN.

THANK YOU PAM

What does everyone use as far as vg/pg ratio for tanks? Mixed up a 70/30 and still seems a little thick.

I’ve never had good luck with tanks and this tfv9 smok tank is the first one I have ever used that I don’t have to massively inhale to get anything from it. I’ve always been a dripper guy using only vg lol.

Hi ECF members, In this review i take a look at the Foxy ONE 120W Box Mod from Augvape. The Augvape Foxy ONE 120W Box Mod was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ella from Sourcemore.

https://www.sourcemore.com/augvape-foxy-...x-mod.html



Introduction

Over the last few years whether it be sub-ohm tanks, RDA's, RTA's AIO's or mods Augvape have released quality products that have been well received. When it comes to mods they have a reputation for concentration on simple power only devices that just perform very well and are stylish or offer something different in design.

The Foxy One is a power only single 21700 device which offers a max wattage of 120w or reduced to 80w when an 18650 instead is installed. The Foxy One is a very simple device with no bells and whistles features or extra settings offering just wattage, voltage and bypass modes. The device is one of the smallest single 21700 mods available which despite being reassuringly weighty due to it's solid build quality is still a device convenient for out and about use!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics

The Foxy one comes in simple cardboard box packaging with outer cardboard sleeve and on opening my eyes met a very Foxy looking tiny 21700 device lying in it's central compartment. The device is offered in various frame colours and textured spines, I received the Copper Wood Pattern Leather version which has a brushed Aged Copper C-frame with matching buttons and Wood Pattern Leather (effect i believe) spine which has just a slight springiness when pressed rather than being heavily cushioned, overall it's a looker and feels absolutely great in the hand! The options are Black Green Leather, Gunmetal Brown Leather, Gunmetal Alcantara, Copper Wood Pattern Leather or Silver Black Leather.

The plain face of the device has a large square protruding fire button towards the top which curves to the contour of the device, Both sides to the rear has the continuation of the spine section and towards the front on the frame one side see's towards the bottom a vertically positioned Type C USB port! The opposite side again on the front frame we have a small OLED Screen top and lined up vertically your 2 small round navigational buttons.

The spine of the device has the textured patterned spine of choice and moving up top set towards the rear we have a small 510 plate and Gold plated, spring loaded 510, the base of the device reveals safety marks and understated branding!

The whole Zinc Alloy device (including main material of spine) has a bit of weight to it but is small and very ergonomic both to just hold and fire! When it comes to build quality despite it's lower end price point it gets full marks!

___________________________________________________________________



Fitting The Battery

The device will accommodate either a 21700, 20700 or 18650 with the included adaptor although why anyone would use a 20700 is beyond me. The Foxy One has a classic C-frame with pull off spine for battery instalment and the first thing I like is beneath the covering the main material of the spine is the same Zinc Alloy used for the main chassis!

I also like that the battery door has protruding curved sections to the inner to form an incomplete tube which either your 21700 or 18650 (inside the adaptor) can slide into from above and then the whole spine with installed battery assembly just gets pushed onto the mod. The contacts have bevelled edging to prevent damaging your wraps and when it comes to removing your battery all you need to do is pull off the spine and there is your battery ready to slide out!



The edging of the spine has 3 large, very strong magnets and it precision fits with absolutely no movement whatsoever, likewise i have tried both 21700 and 18650 batteries and we get absolutely no battery rattle. Very impressive with the only slight con being that bug bare of battery orientation being Black on Black and needs to be more visible!



___________________________________________________________________



The Display

The Foxy One has an old school small (can you believe they actually call it large on their website!) screen with limited information but that's the point of most Augvape's devices they are kept simple and minimalistic when it comes to the display, even so the display is bright and despite the small font i had no issues reading the information and that's from someone who's wife keeps telling me I need to get to Specsavers to get my eyes tested!

On the left we have an horizontally positioned battery status bar and to the right of that at the top the resistance, below is the voltage which will display wattage when in either Voltage or Bypass Modes!

The right section of the screen is your selected wattage, voltage (when in voltage mode) or BP when in Bypass!



___________________________________________________________________



Operating The Foxy One

The Foxy One is the usual 5 clicks of the fire button to turn on and 5 clicks to turn off, once on pressing both navigational buttons together locks those buttons but the device will still fire.

The device has just 3 power modes but no advanced settings or TC functions and to change between modes is 3 quick presses of the fire button. So from wattage mode 3 quick presses takes you to voltage mode which can be adjusted between 0.5V up to 6.2V in 0.1V increments and it also round robins. A further 3 presses of the fire button takes you to Bypass mode where you get BP displayed where your set wattage or voltage normally would be and then below the resistance to the bottom right of the status bar it displays wattage output in real time which will all depend on your resistance and voltage left on your battery.



A further 3 presses of the fire button takes you back to wattage mode which adjusts from 5W to 120W in 1W increments at a rate of knots when the button is held down and round robins, however the device detects when the battery installed is an 18650 and only adjusts to 80W before going back to 5W, i do like this as there is no point setting wattage above 80w with an 18650 battery because it just isn't going to materialise! Any cons i have for this device are quite petty one being i wished at least for lower wattage the increments were 0.5w but not a deal breaker despite being a low wattage vaper!

That's it! as simple as it gets with the only other thing to mention is after switching the device off or changing battery the device remembers your previous setting which for me is a pro!



___________________________________________________________________



Charging

Of course the recommendation would be to charge your battery externally but if you need to charge in the device the Foxy One has a Type C USB connection and 1.2A charge rate which could be a little quicker but we have passthrough supported if you need a puff while you wait!



___________________________________________________________________



My Thoughts!

To start off i have to confess i actually chose both the device and colour to review based on liking the looks and also hearing on forums plenty of good things and absolutely nothing bad so unless something reared it's ugly head this was always going to be a positive review!

After saying that i was even more impressed than i expected especially around the build quality and just how small and ergonomically friendly the Foxy One actually is and when it came to choosing the colour it wasn't an easy choice as this comes in some very aesthetically pleasing options, Foxy by name, Foxy by nature!

I have been using this over the last few days both at home but it also made for a great out and about companion, comfortable to hold and fire and it just slips into the pocket when not in use. It fires with zero issues hitting set wattage instantly and performed like a trooper! The protruding large fire button is a joy and i can only describe it as having a luxurious stiff cushioned click, owners of the Foxy One will understand the description i'm sure!

The only petty cons i have is poorly marked battery orientation and i wish it adjusted in 0.5w increments especially up to 20w but anything else would defeat the whole object of what this device is meant for which is being a simple, user friendly, high performing power only single 21700 device so no TC or bells and whistles features but those that require them simply wouldn't buy this device so not an issue or should that be a non issue!

I have used both 22mm and 24mm up top and even with 24mm we have some spare real estate so 25mm and even 26mm would only go over the bevelled edging but not overhang the device itself so would anyone be wanting to fit over a 26mm tank on a single battery device, a rarity i would think!

I normally just write the review and put my likes and cons but don't go as far as recommending products but for those after a tiny single 21700 device for power only modes then you can't go wrong and you get the added bonus of excellent build quality and a really Foxy looking device!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS


What I received is a reviewers sample and these photos of the kit are not the retail version. The Nano kit has 2 pods included, 0.6Ω mesh rated at 20-25w that is pre-installed and the 1.2Ω mesh rated at 11-14w. The pods don't look like it but they are indeed 2ml in capacity and are also clear. Geek Vape also supplies a lanyard and neck chain to attach it along with the user manual.







I received the green camo color version and really like the styling of it, the spine of the Nano has a camo pattern that looks great and has some spongy feel to it , surrounding the camo pattern is a color coded skeleton. The Nano has a lanyard attachment that I decided to try only because of the size of the Nano and it is a convenience to use because it frees up a pocket, it's nice that Geek Vape included both the lanyard and neck chain in the kit.





To pods are marked on the bottom as to it's ohm and rating for it. The pre-installed pod has a protective sticker on the bottom that must be removed before vaping. To access it tilt up on the pod that has a little arrow and it will release from the magnets that hold it in place. The easiest way to remove the mouthpiece for filling is to tilt it up on the side that doesn't have the arrow.





Once the mouthpiece is off simply lift the black cover up by running your finger up at the end and pull up, once the fill port cover is up it can be rotated to the side for easy filling of the large juice port hole on the end of the pod. When the cover is up you can also view the coil in the center of the pod.





The pod is held in with 2 strong magnets that keep the pod in place but are not to strong that removal of the pod is difficult.





The Nano uses a type-c USB and it's charge port is located on the bottom of the device, to access it insert your fingernail into the small grove and lift up, it will remain attached to the device. The charge port plug is made of the same silicone rubber that surrounds the Nano.





I was very happy to see that the Nano use a fully adjustable airflow and can be dialed down for a very tight MTL vape or opened up for a RDL vape. The airflow is controlled with a lever located at the top above the spine of the Nano, it has just the right amount of resistance and will not come off the setting you put it at.





The display is a black and white one with the numbers and symbols being bright with a nice sized font so you can see without needing to squint. Information is laid out well and is as follows from top to bottom.

* Battery Bar

* Wattage

* Ohms

* Volts

* Puff Counter





As you've seen the Nano only has 1 button that controls your wattage adjustment, clears the puff counter and is also the fire button, it is located on one side of the device towards the top and is raised a bit with 3 horizontal lines running across it. I like that it's also color coded to match the Nano.





MENU


* 5 Presses of the fire button to turn on/off

* 3 Presses of the fire button to adjust wattage only up - ( it uses the round robin feature )

* 4 Presses of the fire button to clear the puff counter


FINAL IMPRESSIONS


I was very surprised with the mouthpiece because at first glance I thought it was going to be a uncomfortable one to use but I was wrong with that assumption because it works very well and is comfortable to use. The 2nd thing that surprised me was after putting on the lanyard and chain I decided to try it out one day running a bunch of errands and found that I liked it because it frees up a pocket and is very light weight.

The flavor from both of the supplied pods are above average in my opinion and have enough vapor production for my taste. The airflow adjustment lever protrudes just enough to operate without feeling it when vaping. Airflow is smooth with no funny sounds at every setting for both pods, the 1.2Ω is more restricted and I consider it a MTL pod. The 0.6Ω pod gives a very nice RDL vape, no air machine with the Nano.

The appearance is definitely Geek Vape as well as the strong silicone rubber coating that encases the the device.

When I saw the Nanos size I thought the display font would be a very small one but it is not and can be easily seen without having to squint. ( NEVER ASSUME )

The ease of use is a big plus with only one button and no menu it doesn't get any easier or simple to operate. Having a 800 mAH battery is nice especially using the 1.2Ω pod because you can get just about a day depending on your vaping style or amount of use.

All in all I've enjoyed using the Nano and would like to thank Allison and Geek Vape for providing the little Nano kit for the purpose of this review. If anyone reading is looking for a tiny pod based system that has above average flavor with a fully adjustable airflow the little Nano would work out just fine.

THANK YOU

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
This cell is an okay performer and its 15A rating seems reasonable but its cell to cell consistency is terrible. Based on the 30EF’s appearance, model number, and specs it appears that Efest wants to position this cell as an alternative to the Samsung 30Q. The Samsung 30Q is a MUCH more consistent performer though and runs for about 11% to 20% longer at 15A.

This Efest 30EF is essentially identical in appearance to the Imren 30QP. Only by using a 10x loupe could I see a couple of tiny tooling mark differences in the metal cans. In my opinion the Efest 30EF and Imren 30QP could be a mix of all the different grades of the same cell coming off the manufacturing line. This would explain their almost essentially identical appearance and their cell-to-cell performance inconsistencies. I do not know if this is true though.

The four cells I tested delivered 3031mAh to 3069mAh. This is okay consistency and exceeds this cell’s 3000mAh rating.

Four cells were donated for testing by NoSmoke AS (Nettbutikk for e-sigaretter og tilbehør - NoSmoke.no). Thank you!

Just received a newsletter from Innokin a short while ago. As part of it, they linked to the following Vape News article. I found it really interesting and thought others would also. The UK has already had a totally opposite view toward vaping than the powers-that-be have had here in the US. Now, the potential outlook for the future of "vaping" in the UK is even more positive.

I’m back today to discuss yet another Geekvape product called the Geekvape Z50 Kit with Z Nano tank. The Z50 kit is said to be inspired by Ancient Greece but honestly I don’t get it. At least not in the sample that I received. Anyway, The Z50 was sent to me by Geekvape for the purpose of providing a fair and honest review. I will also explain the operation of the mod and give my opinions and experience with it. The Z Nano tank that is included in the kit is just a rebranded Zeus Nano tank so I most likely will not go into much detail on it since it has been covered before in at least one other review. I will say that I do like the Nano tank and besides the one I received in this kit I own three more of the originals. In my opinion they are a good drop in coil tank for RDL and DL. You can do a loose MTL also.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:

The Z50 kit I received was a retail version and was not in the nice larger box with the orange flip up flap like some of the others I’ve received. It had the outer sleeve with a picture on the front and contents listed on the back like you will see if you buy one. The standard black box was underneath with a lift off top that exposed the rainbow Z50 that I received and the Nano tank and accessories were underneath. I have to admit that I am not a fan of rainbow mods and tanks. I’ve never purchased a rainbow device and probably never will. That being said, the sides of the mod looked more like purple than rainbow but the face where the screen and buttons sit did look very rainbow. I personally don’t love the side panels on this version near as much as some of the other colors than look more like stabilized wood. I do like the new Z logo with a hand holding a lightning bolt that is on the back of the mod and on the inner barrel of the tank.










I like that there is minimal branding on the Z50. The only branding is on the back with the hand holding the lightning bolt and Geekvape Z below that. On the top of the mod is the 510 connector with a gold plated center pin. The tank is an almost perfect fit on it and there is very little room for a bigger tank without some overhang. On the front of the mod is the fire button at the top, display screen below that, the + and – buttons below the screen and then the USB-C charging port for the built in 2000mah battery and charges at 2A. To me the display screen is nice and bright and appears to be very similar to the display on other Geekvape mods. The display shows the following from top to bottom.

- Battery indicator

- Set wattage

- Coil resistance

- Amperage

- Voltage

- Puff counter/ length of puff when firing


Like I said, the menu operation is the same as far as I can remember. However, I will go ahead and list the functions for users that are not as familiar with Geekvape devices.

- Press the fire button five times to turn the device on and off

- Press the fire button three times to highlight the mode at the top then use + and – to switch between Power, TC-SS, TC-TCR, VPC, and Bypass

- Press the + and – buttons to lock adjustments only

- While adjustment is locked, press the fire button three times to lock the fire button as well

- Press the fire button and + or – to adjust the display brightness

- With the mode highlighted after pressing the fire button three times, press + and – to change the color of the display between blue, yellow , red , orange, or green

- To reset the puff counter, press the fire button three times to highlight the mode on top, press the fire button once to highlight the resistance to lock it or press the fire button a second time to highlight the puff counter. Press the + button to zero the puff counter or press the – button to bring back the last puff count.


The Z50 is a pretty small mod but has a decent weight to it with the Nano tank on top. I think it’s comfortable to hold and the fire button has a nice click to it. The menu has a lot of features but if you’ve used Geekvape mods before then you won’t have any problems navigating it. The nice thing is to use the mod you really don’t need to know all of the stuff I listed before if you are just a wattage vaper. Just how to turn it on and off and adjust the wattage.








I have reviewed the Nano tank in the past so will just spend a little time talking about it. Just like the previous version, it’s a ¼ turn to take the top cap off to fill. I do wish the fill ports were a little bigger but I do very much like the Nano tank and have three of the previous version before the logo and name change. The Nano has quite a bit of airflow for a smallish tank. I usually run the airflow between ¼ and 1/3 open whether I’m using the .6 coil rated for 15-25 watts or the .3 coil rated for 30-38 watts. The Nano uses a 510 drip tip which I find comfortable and like. The top cap is tapered up as it approaches the tip opening so not all tips will look good on it. It uses the B series coils which have been used before on other Geekvape devices. They are a solid coil and I like them. The only real complaint I have on the Nano is the fill ports are a little too small.






FINAL THOUGHTS:

I feel like the Z50 is another solid device from Geekvape. I know I mentioned it before but don’t really care for the rainbow color. Other than that I had a good experience using the Z50 and Nano tank.

While testing the Z50 I got to thinking to myself what makes this device different from other mods on the market. After reviewing so many devices in the past I tried to think of what makes this one different that would make me want to purchase one or multiples of the kit. It is a built in battery but that doesn’t scare me off. I’ve got two of the Aegis Mini mods with built in batteries that I got when they were first released an both still work fine. I feel like the design of some of the other colors available are quite attractive so that would be a plus. To me for as small as the Z50 is, the 2000mah battery seems like a good capacity. The screen and menu are good features also.

The Nano tank although just rebranded compared to the previous version, is still a solid tank. It’s nice that the Nano uses the B series coils that are compatible with other devices.

To me the question here is if the Z50 kit is different enough or feature rich enough to warrant your interest enough to purchase one. It is a step away from the Aegis line so that’s a little different. Would I recommend it? If you are looking for a smallish device with a built in battery that you can use either the included Nano tank or any tank with a 510 connection depending on how particular you are about overhang on the tank then yes I’d recommend it from my experience so far.

I’d like to thank Geekvape and Allison for sending the Z50 kit for this review and thanks to you the readers. Below is a link to their website for further review.

Hello everyone! Long time lurker here, just wondered if any of you fine people would happen to have a V3 or 4 authentic spheroid for sale and or trade! These things seem to be rarer than my steaks!

I have a small collection of authentic stuff that I'd like to sell or trade as well in the future as well, so if you can help with spheroid or you're interested in blue tongue mods, vape smarter, noname, Evl, or psyclone mods let me know!

I usually make 500ml batches and add the nicotine after the steep and on a per use, 30ml of juice at a time.
Any benefit to the way im doing it?
Or should i just add the nic during the making process and be done with it.

Hello again and welcome back for today's review of the Z50 Kit from Geek Vape, this kit was sent to me from Geek Vape for the purpose of this review. The Z50 device has a built in 2000 mAH battery and has a maximum wattage capacity of 50w, along with wattage the Z50 has 4 other power modes that are TC-SS, TC-TCR, VPC, and BYPASS. Paired with the Z50 is the Z Nano with the new Z logo. This little power house uses the same chip that's used in the new Legend 2 with one small difference. I'll start with some information on the Z50 Kit first.

ZINC-ALLOY





FOUR DECORS





NEW Z LOGO





Z NANO TANK





FIRST IMPRESSIONS


The Z 50 Kit came packaged like most products from Geek Vape do with a box that slides out of a outer sleeve having the Z 50 Mod in a cut out with the Z Nano tank and accessories as well as your user manual, warning card and other Geek Vape paperwork below.





The Z Nano tank is the same Nano tank of past that I already reviewed but the new 2021 version has the new Z logo that still is top airflow making it very leak resistant. Opening the top cap is done with a quarter turn reveling the 2 fill ports across from each other. I wish the fill ports were a bit wider because using a gorilla bottle you can't get the bottle tip into the ports so slow filling is needed or you will create bubbles and juice will begin to back up so always fill slowly.





The tank still uses the proven B series of coils that provide great flavor with vapor being full as well. B coils just push into place and are removed by just pulling them out, sometimes they can be difficult to get free so Geek Vape provides a coil removal assist tool. On each side of the coil are 2 large juice supply slots. The tank comes with the 0.3Ω mesh coil pre-installed that is rated for 30- 38w, also included is the 0.6Ω mesh coil that is rated for 15 - 25w.






I really like the new logo of the Z series and think the old Zeus face became rather dated so it was time for a change. the Z50 mod has a spring loaded 510 pin and it's top plate can accept a 24mm tank with a miniscule of overhang.





The new logo is also on the spine of the Z 50 along with Geek Vape Z written across and a series of vertical lines that bring it all together giving it a attractive appearance in my opinion.





Geek Vape has chosen to go with 4 color decors that should please most people. I was sent the gunmetal with a stabilized wood pattern that is inlayed on both sides of the Z50 mod and I like how it turned out.







The Z 50 uses the same chip that is in the newly released Aegis Legend 2 that I reviewed a few weeks back, the performance is really good and the features of the new chip include instant fire, new color display with 5 options of color . The only difference between the 2 is that the Aegis Legend uses a manual lock to lock adjustments and firing of the mod.

The Z 50 has a electronic wattage only lock while still being able to vape. The color display has a good layout just like the Legend 2 does. From top to bottom the layout reads like this.

* Battery Bar

* Power Mode

*Wattage/Temperature

* Ohms

* Amps

* Volts

* Seconds Puffed/Puff Counter





MENU


*Five clicks of the fire button turn the device on/off

*Three clicks of the fire button to enter settings mode

*One click of the fire button in settings mode moves the cursor to select parameters

*Up and down held simultaneously locks wattage adjustments

*Long press the fire button to exit settings mode

*Up and down to change wattage or temperature

*Fire and down at the same time to decrease brightness

*Fire and up at the same time to increase brightness

*Three clicks of the fire button then hold both up and down to change color


FINAL IMPRESSIONS


The first thing that I want to talk about is just how nice the device looks and the Nano tank matches perfectly in color as well as size proportion with the Z 50. I can't speak for all the colors but the gunmetal color that I received looks very attractive.

The tank performs very well using both coils but my favorite is the 0.3 giving me a little bit of warmth running it at 40 watts. Being a user of B coils very often because they perform great with flavor that always hits the mark and more vapor than I need. Just make sure you fill the Nano slowly as I said earlier. Having narrow fill ports is the tanks only con.

As far as the mod goes I really have no cons for it but lots of likes such as the the chip it uses. The buttons are responsive, display is vivid and bright and having 5 choices of colors for the display is a bonus.

As a full kit I think it's a winner and will continue to use it until it's battery becomes depleted in a few years or longer, I stil have built in battery devices that are 5 yrs old and stil work fine so who knows how long.

I would like to thank Allison and Geek Vape for providing the Z 50 Kit for review.

Looking for avs dual core wire spools on the off chance somebody might have some and be willing to sell preferably 30ft spools, I’m in the uk though so just a heads up.

Began vaping several years ago & have seen the hardware evolve continually.
For the last several years , Ive not paid that much attention save for an occasional tryout of a new RTA now & then.

Current system in use is a Dvarw or Pioneer RTA & either a Jac series-B or one of 4 Vaporesso Target mini 2's.
I find these easy to manage, always a great vape & with very adequate battery life.
They do require that one builds & wicks each RTA device, the material costs for that are truly inconsequential, but time isn't.

So I'm curious to learn if a pod system holds an advantage over a conventional RTA type arrangement & in what regard.
What are the characteristics of a pod system that make them attractive ?
I assume its the 'no building' & perhaps small size aspects, but are there other plusses I'm unaware of ?
What are the comparative downsides ? Ex ; battery life, swapping juices, coil expense.
How long does a coil/wick set up last in a pod & still supply good flavor ?

Sincerest thanks for any wisdom on the matter.
CBG.

I started smoking ciggerettes when I was 13 years old. At first I only smoked a ciggerett on the weekends but around the time I joined the Army around 19 years old I started smoking daily. Then I became a pack a day smoker when I was stationed in South Korea. Before I got out of the military (4 year enlistment term) I was approaching 2 packs a day.

As time went on the amount of ciggerettes per day varied but I was still considered a heavy smoker. Around 2009 I started to feel myself getting weaker and less productive at work. My breathing was begining to get heavier and I could tell that I wasn't getting enough oxygen.

Let's be clear I didn't want to quit ciggerettes. I enjoyed smoking. It was something I enjoyed and helped me cope with life especially after leaving the military. But I knew something had to change or I'll end up with a straw down my neck to help me breath.

So in 2009, while I was working at the Post Office, I saw a buddy vaping on a Vapor4Life cigalike device. I was confused and fascinated at the same time. I asked him "what the hell are you smoking?" He then walked me through it. At the time is was a pretty cool kit with an external battery pack to charge the ecig while on the go and those neat cartomizers that could be refilled.

He had an extra ecig battery and a new pepomint cartomizer and let me try it out for the day. The very next day (pay day) I ordered 2 kits, spare cartos and 2 bottles of pepomint.

The day I received the kit I haven't touched a cigerrette since.

Fast forward to current day I am strictly a mtl rta user. I love love my Kayfun Prime and the kayfun lite 2020. I use a 2mm ID round coil at 1.25 ohms at 10 watts on a geek vape mod with an external 18650 battery. I support my local vape shop and buy their house eliquids. 70 vg/30 pg blends with 6mg freebase nicotine....mostly tobacco flavors I love my tobacco blends.

My breathing is great. I workout daily and my work production couldn't be better. 12 years later I haven't even thought about a ciggerette so I consider that a success.

Thank you for reading my success story with vaping.

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
This cell is not a good performer but its 15A rating seems reasonable. The Samsung 30Q runs for about 40% longer at 15A.

This Imren 30QP is essentially identical in appearance to the Efest 30EF but the Efest performs a lot better (but still not as well as the Samsung 30Q). I do not know if they are different grades of the same cell or not.

The two cells I tested delivered 3049mAh and 3066mAh. This is very good consistency and exceeds this cell’s 3000mAh rating.

Two cells were purchased for testing by me from Liion Wholesale (Liion Wholesale Batteries | Li-ion battery/cell distributor).

Hello and welcome to today's review of the Suorin Ace Micro Pod Kit that was provided to me from Suorin for the purpose of this review. The Ace is as simple as it gets as far as pod systems go being a wattage only device with a 15 watt fixed output working off a 1000 mAH internal battery. While the Ace has a fixed airflow it gives the user 2 choices of firing the device because it provides auto draw or manual button fire. Tiny is the best way to describe the Ace as you will see, so let's meet the Ace Micro Pod Kit from Suorin.

BREAKDOWN





FIRST IMPRESSIONS


The first thing I noticed after opening was just how tiny of a device the Ace was, after picking up the ace and holding it in my hand the Ace disappeared leaving only the mouthpiece visible. Being made of Zinc Alloy and plastic gives the Ace a strong solid feel with no cheap feeling to it. One thing that caught my eye was how small the charge cord was, unless you have a USB Hub charging station this charge cord is almost unusable being only 6 inches long. Only 1 pod is supplied in the kit along with the user manual.





The Ace uses replaceable cartridges not coils that attach using magnets as most pod systems do, the magnets are strong so your pod will not fall out, the pod cartridge sits inside the device 3/4 of a inch so for juice viewing the pod must be removed. The capacity of 2ml also includes the semi- tinted mouthpiece, with the main portion of the pod being recessed in the device leaving only the mouthpiece visible makes the Ace very compact.

Looking inside the pod port connection 2 magnets are used, between them are 2 coil contacts with the auto draw's air supply tube between them. Suorin puts a accidental fire sticker on the bottom of the coil that needs to be removed before your first vape, I like that the Ace also is shipped with a protective wrap around it as well.





When the sticker is removed the outer magnets and coil contacts can be seen, the airflow supply is cut out in the clear plastic pod between the 2 gold center contacts.





Juice fill is done on the side of the pod by lifting the transparent fill plug, the fill port hole is very big and I had no trouble using a Gorilla 100ml bottle tip for mess free filling of the pod.





As you can see this is one tiny device that is also very thin as well and if stood up would be easily knocked over, that is why in my opinion Suorin chose to round all the corners of the device even the bottom giving the Ace such a comfortable to hold hand feel.





At the top next to the pod is the type-c charge port's location with a cover that blends in very well and also has a small grove cut out for your fingernail to fit inside aiding you in it's opening, it fits into place so well that some people without fingernails might have difficulty.





I can see why Suorin decided to include a lanyard connection on the Ace because of it's size but I think one should have been included in the kit

Below the lanyard connection is the fire button if you choose to use it, because the auto draw works so well I don't and I'm a button user normally. At the top of the fire button is a very tiny LED light that illuminates when vaping with either auto draw or manual button activation as well when charging the Ace.

3 colors are used for battery strength when charging as well as showing your battery strength when vaping.

* RED - 30%

* BLUE 30% - 70%

* GREEN - 70% - 100%





Branding was kept to a minimum on the Ace with only the front and back of the device having any writing leaving the chrome sides free for a attractive appearance. I was sent the Urban Camo color and really like it although in bright lights you can see it's a fingerprint magnet but in normal indoor lighting it looks great.









FINAL IMPRESSIONS


I've been using the Ace for a couple of weeks and have been pleased with it's performance. The auto draw works really well and is very smooth also, I consider the Ace to be a MTL device with enough throat hit to keep me happy. Flavor from the pod cartridges is not RTA quality but it's good, I used my MTL juice that I vape in a RTA and definitely knew it's flavor when vaped in the Ace just not as many flavor notes came through but it's a pod device and I knew they wouldn't I just wanted to see how close it could be.

The battery life of 1000 mAH in such a small package is a nice bonus and being made of Zinc-Alloy gives it a solidly built feel.

Appearance of the Ace to me is appealing and I'm very happy the Urban Camo was what was sent to me because I really love it's look.

The Ace would really be great for any Nic Salt users as well as new vapers.

In closing you may ask if I recommend the Ace, I know I will get more pods and continue using it, I will also pick up a lanyard for around the neck because it's weight will be doable using it this way, one should have been included in the kit .

I would like to thank Mira and Suorin for providing the Ace Micro Kit for this review.
