Aspire Favostix - Aspire have another go at the pod market

The Aspire Favostix is, at its basics, a "classic" style of pod kit, one of those ones where when the coil is done, you chuck the whole pod away. However with the Favostix comes more battery life and with that, variable wattage with a mini screen.

One Year no Vap or any Nicotine

Got off cigarettes in 2011 ( thanks for Vaping) and Vap free for little a year.
I do feel better overall and the urges for Nic have pretty much left me. I must say
I don't think I would ever got off of cigarettes if not for the vaping. Not trying to tell

Kremhilde Rba

I know that this is a sub ohm tank but I put it in the rebuildable section cuz I'm not really interested to know how it works as a sub ohm. What I want to know is if anyone has used the rebuildable sub ohm style coil. I have always wanted a device that does that and there are a couple of them coming out but only this one is out in the US right this minute. I have a coil master kit to try to rebuild PNP coils but honestly the coils are so flimsy and the task is so difficult that I'm really not seeing myself doing it. And it's primarily because the top part of the coil has to be pounded on and I just can't manage it. With this it's screw on. The whole thing together is kind of pricey just to try out this one feature it ends up being like $60 for everything I would need.

One of the big things I'm looking at is that the coil seems bigger than a PNP coil so that means the mesh would probably be stronger and maybe could be reused. If anyone has experience with this please let me know your experience

Subohm Tank advice for a MTL only vaper

Hi so I’m not looking to replace MTL at all but I actually fancy trying out a Sub ohm tank mainly for when I’m having a drink at home and maybe for a fast shot of nicotine also. I also have a spare high power mod that I’m not using so I in,y need a tank. I have only MTL vaped in my hole vaping life so I have no clue on the current technology on DL tanks.


I’ve noticed from brief searching hat a lot of sub ohm tanks now use mesh which appears to be a non rebuild coil? What are the differences between mesh and diy rebuilddeble coils in regards to sub ohm vaping. Going of initial thoughts I think I’d prefer a sub ohm tank that I can build the coil or coils my self as this is what I’ve always done on my MTL tanks and I’ve always got spare wire.


Any good recommendations for me? It’s not going to be a everyday tank for me so size etc is not going to be a problem. One worry I have with factory made mesh style coils is the worry they will eventually stop getting made rendering the tank useless as I tend to keep a tank I get on with for years,also the price of pre made coils comparing to self made wire coils.


Any advice will be appreciated!

Zeuz X mesh occasional dry hits

Hi there,

I am new to this forum, also very new to vaping.

I am using a Zeus X Mesh rebuildable. I have noticed every now and then I get dry hits. After getting a dry hit, I would open my tank to have a look at the wick, when firing and closing the tank again the dry hit is gone for a couple of "pulls''. what am I doing wrong?

Who also fell victim to Forz 80?

I will tell my story by looking at the reviews, reviews, happily bought the new product) But as it turned out, the new product even at the moment with the latest firmware 1.01 has at least 2 problems:
1) When the screen is flipped, the "+" and "-" buttons do not change places, and when the screen is upside down it is inconvenient to use the mod, a kind of "raw" problem, I have not seen this since 2014, and then the manufacturer released a new firmware in a week where it was not.
2) This is some kind of strange thermal control mode. I had Vaporesso Lux and it worked great in this mode. Well, I thought what was new, it already knows how to do it, but no. They came up with Smart TK - where even if it recognizes your spiral, then first there is a "blow" for all 80 watts, and then it decreases, but no matter what temperature you set the steam is very hot. And they broke the manual mode, so I take the atomizer that I just adjusted to the DNA (there I see everything on the computer), and I transfer these settings to this device and get practically nothing, the steam is so discharged that I have a feeling that the mod works in 5 watt mode. Neither the TCR adjustment nor the temperature have any effect.

I talked with those. the support of this manufacturer and in 2 months they did not even fix the button problem ...

Vapefly Optima 80W 18650 Pod Mod Kit - Review

Hi ECF members, In this review i take a look at the Optima 80W 18650 Pod Mod Kit from Vapefly. The Vapefly Optima 80W 18650 Pod Mod Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ella from Sourcemore.

https://www.sourcemore.com/vapefly-optim...d-kit.html



Introduction

Vapefly consistently offer more innovation and experimentation when it comes to rebuildables than any other manufacturer i can think of. The Optima offers two different rebuildable options in the form of an RDTA mesh/coil pod which is a separate purchase and also a rebuildable mesh coil option which is included along with it's own pod. The Optima also comes with a standard pod which houses Vapefly's FreeCore mesh coil heads!

As well as it being claimed it's the first rebuildable mesh coil pod system it's also claimed it's the slimmest pod mod to accommodate an external 18650 and i am not going to dispute either claim.

The Optima offers 3 different pre-heats with the default smart wattage and also USER (curves) and DIY modes, let's check it out!

___________________________________________________________________



Aesthetics and Ergonomics

The Optima comes in cardboard packaging and has 5 different colour options which are Blue, Red, Silver, Gunmetal or Black, i received the Blue option. Each colour option has different design panels on the sides which i am pretty sure are just stickers but done well! The device has a Zinc Alloy construction and is quite tall but very slender and with it's easy to find protruding pill shaped fire button on the narrow face just feels great in the hand and comfortable to use.

Other features are the almost figure 8 navigational rocker towards the bottom on the face followed by a Type C USB port, below the fire button and above the rocker we have the screen. The spine has "OPTIMA" carved into the metal and moving to the base we have printed branding and safety marks but no visual venting, this doesn't concern me as the movement on the battery panel suggest far from an air tight fit!

Up top to the rear the pod is completely unseen apart from the flat Black top and Proprietary delrin fixed drip tip but at the front we have a square viewing window and looking from the sides a void that allows air to the airflow inlets.

___________________________________________________________________



The Pod

The standard pod comes pre-installed with the 0.3ohm mesh coil head and has a capacity of 3.5ml (2ml TPD version). The pod has a slight tint to it but it's light enough to see your liquid although most of the pod fit's within the bay just leaving the front viewing section that actually surprised me how fit for purpose it is and grooved chevrons at the rear for pod removal.

To the sides of the front viewing window we have a cut-out each side, this is where on the main section of the pod the air enters and does a "U" down and then up through the coil head for a leak resistant design!



Looking at the base of the pod without a coil head installed we have rectangular magnets both front and rear and the cylindrical opening for the coil head. On the pods side we have a silicone flap with fill plug which when lifted reveals a generous fill port. I much prefer top-fill so i don't have to remove the pod to fill but filling was hassle free so no complaints!



___________________________________________________________________



The Coil Heads

The coil head gets fitted like so many of these pod mods by simply press fitting into place. We have one flat edge to both the opening and to the base of the coil head so fitting correctly is straightforward!



Pre-installed is the 0.3ohm mesh coil head which is rated between 30 and 40w, also included is the 0.6ohm mesh coil head which is rated between 20 and 28w.



___________________________________________________________________



Fitting The Pod

Looking inside the pods bay we can see the Gold plated, spring loaded contacts and then a flat metallic surface for the magnets on the pod to attract to. The pod fits very securely needing the use of the mentioned chevron grooves towards the rear to get a good grip before giving it a tug to remove, very good!



___________________________________________________________________



RMC Accessories

As well as the standard pod you receive the RMC pod which is identical apart from having a chamber for the RMC coil head. You also receive the rebuildable Mesh coil head to give it it's full title and unlike other RBA's which are coil heads with a mini build deck this is basically a rebuildable stock coil which is a new one on me and it's claimed is the first pod system to utilise a rebuildable of this type! You also receive 2 mesh sections and 2 strips of cotton as well as a few spare parts and O-rings for the rebuildable coil head itself. The final thing you receive is a tool which is used to bend the cotton and mesh around and is also used for sliding the prepared mesh with wicking into the coil heads shell!



The whole point is the mesh and cotton strips are going to be available in packs of 10 for only $5 (seen them as low as $3.99) so instead of buying 10 stock coils for $20 you just build your own at a quarter of the price, the only downside is at least at the time of release you only have a 0.2ohm option.



What i found really good about the RMC coil head is how well Vapefly have designed it to be so easy to build. I built it with just one hand while taking photos with the other and it took less than 5 minutes, looked ok and performed great!!!

All you need to do is place the mesh on the centre of the cotton and bend both around the tool. The casing has an outer section that unscrews revealing the inner section with a slot down one side for the access cotton to protrude through as using the tool you slide the mesh with wicking into the shell leads first so they will poke out of the base. You then press one lead into an outer notch on the base of the shell (this will be negative) and place the heat resistant Grommet in place with the remaining lead going through the centre. You then place the positive Gold plated disc in place where again there is a little notch on the side for the remaining lead.



Its now just the matter of snipping your leads as flush as you can get them and trimming the access cotton before pulling the tool out leaving the completed coil head! The coil head just gets press fitted into place the same way as the standard stock coils making sure the flat sides line up, then just fill the pod and wait for a few minutes to allow the cotton to get saturated!



___________________________________________________________________



The RDTA Pod

Also available as a separate purchase there is an RDTA pod with Stainless Steel replenishing rods, a profile style spring loaded ceramic seat and full honeycomb adjustable airflow!

The design is basically like an RDA up top with the pod acting as an e-liquid reservoir below. It also has a standard 510 drip tip fitting so your own drip tips can be used if you prefer and the build deck allows for either a mesh or wire coil build!

When you purchase the RDTA it also includes spare rods, tri-tool, mesh bending tool, grub screws and O-rings. You also receive both a wire coil and 2 pieces of Mesh as well as 2 shoelace Firebolt Mesh Cotton. Spare rods and different types of mesh are also available separately!



___________________________________________________________________



Fitting The Battery

The Optima accommodates a single 18650 battery which gets fitted by removing the back panel which has an indented slot either side to get your fingernails in. We have a magnet both top and bottom and although fitting securely it does have side to side movement also Orientation is Black on Black which is not so easy to see!



___________________________________________________________________



The Display

The Optima has an old school bright display which is quite busy but laid out well to give all the information required. The left side of the display has the resistance top with voltage underneath, at the bottom we have the mode. The right side of the display has a vertically positioned elongated battery status bar!

The central section of the display has the wattage top with a padlock either in the open or locked position to the right. Bottom central we have the puff count to the left and vape duration to the right.



___________________________________________________________________



Operating The Device

The Optima is the usual 5 clicks of the fire button to turn on and five clicks to turn off and once on pressing up and down together locks the navigational rocker but the device will still fire.

The device has smart wattage so will automatically adjust to an appropriate wattage and unless in DIY mode also has max wattage limitations dependant on the coils resistance. It adjusts in point 1 increments with single presses or 1w increments with a button held down and scrolls really quickly. The wattage round robins but is useless because it only works without a coil installed instead with a coil installed when it reaches the max limitation or even 80W when in DIY mode it constantly just keeps displaying "MAX WATTAGE" preventing the round robin feature to work.

Pressing the fire button 3 times in quick succession highlights the mode which allows you to click fire to select or use the navigational rocker to highlight puffs, when pressing fire with the puff count highlighted it gives you the option of resetting. With the mode highlighted pressing fire brings up a screen with all your options which are your 3 pre-heats Norm, Soft and hard then also USER which is curves and DIY which is actually just standard variable wattage so turns the wattage limitations off but it still has a form of smart wattage as it will adjust to an appropriate wattage when it recognises a new coil, not having wattage restrictions is much better for the rebuildable options.

It's a super easy menu system but my only issue is having DIY in the same options as everything else means you can't use pre-heats or the curves feature when in the DIY mode!



___________________________________________________________________



Protections:

Short Circuit Protection
Low Voltage Protection
Over Charge Protection
Over-Current Protection
Over Temperature Protection



___________________________________________________________________



Charging

If charging is your only option then i am pleased that the Optima has both Type C and a 2A max charge rate. When charging a battery status bar is displayed as well as the charge as a percentage, it also supports pass-through!



___________________________________________________________________



Using The Optima and My Thoughts!

It's really hard to believe this is able to accommodate an 18650 when its first seen, yes it's quite tall but so slender and can be easily slipped into your pocket or is very comfortable as a device to just carry about. The 18650 gives it superior battery life over pod mods with an in-built battery and if you do need to charge in the device it has Types C, a 2A charge rate and supports pass-through!

The main con for me is that there is no adjustable airflow when using either the standard or RMC pods so you are solely governed by the bore of the coil head, for that reason i found the 0.6ohm coil head the best as it gave a restricted direct lung draw to my liking, i preferred this at just 20W while the 0.3ohm was much more of a looser semi restrictive draw that i found best at 32W but just too much air for me, all options i tried gave a smooth draw and despite testing some top notch RTA's lately the flavour still held it's own, not up there with the previously mentioned RTA's but very good, no complaints at all!

The rebuildable options for this is great but again as far as the RMC rebuildable coil is concerned you need to like a semi restrictive draw to really appreciate it as apart from needing an extra 10W to match the warmth the draw and flavour was almost identical to the 0.3ohm included coil. If you do like a looser draw though i love how Vapefly have executed the rebuildable coil to make it so easy to build, as mentioned in the review because i needed to take constant photos i did it with just one hand while holding my iPod in less than 5 minutes. Also building your own coil costing only 25% of the cost of buying coils can only be a massive pro!

I will be getting one of the RDTA pods as going by the photos, specs and what is both included and available for this makes it very appealing and ticks so many boxes including having full adjustable airflow!

The battery panel does have quite a bit of movement when checking for it which needs mentioning but it's not noticed during use, i also wish i could fill without removing the pod and could fit my own drip tip but the fixed ones are adequate. A bit of a harsh con as most pod mods don't have pre-heat options and curves but by having the DIY mode (which simply gets rid of wattage limitations) on the same menu tier as the pre-heats and curves feature means when using DIY mode these other features become redundant!

This really is a nice device and that's coming from someone who only really is suited to the 0.6ohm coil draw but is eager to use with the RDTA pod but i have tested enough stuff to tell if you prefer a looser draw then you will love this and really benefit from the rebuildable coil and RMC pod!!!!! Another winner from Vapefly!!!!!

JACKAROO DUAL 18650 MOD REVIEWED BY BIGBOB2322

Hello again and welcome back for today's review of the next evolution of the Jackaroo Mod with this offering being a dual 18650, and another change is in the material that the device is made of. Anyone that owned the original Jackaroo knows the one big downside of it, and it was the weight of the device that stopped a lot of people from carrying the device outside and away from the desk or table. Well Vandy Vape solved this problem by using a magnesium - aluminum alloy to construct the Jackaroo Dual and has 2 18650 batteries to get the job done just fine. As always let's take a look at some of the features that are offered with the Jackaroo Dual 18650 mod and then I'll give my findings and thoughts of it later on in the review, Here is the Jackaroo Dual 18650 Mod.

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS


The Jackaroo Dual came in a standard package having a outer sleeve with the main box sliding out and inside that box is the device laying in a form fitted foam with the charge cord next to it in a rectangular box, all paper materials are underneath at the bottom.

I was sent the blue porcelain one for review and that's what really caught my eye first, the blue color is in a swirl pattern mixed with some white color. I don't think that the porcelain models are exact from device to device because the back colored porcelain panel has more white color in it.

This device is 100% Jackaroo and after picking it up I was very surprised at the weight difference from the original that I still use on occasion when at home. Being made of magnesium - aluminum alloy really makes a big difference from the original. Being a dual battery device I thought that it would be much larger than the original but that is not the case at all, I think that the impact resistant rubber that surrounds the device is the same as was used with the original, below is a comparison of both devices with the original being the Obsidian Black G10 Panel version.

Both have the same small piece of rubber that fits into the cutout of both front and back panels with one piece having the Vandy Vape branding stamped on it, very small branding.

I decided to use the Tank that came with the original Jackaroo for testing because it's a very good Tank with very good coils for flavor and it fit like it was made for it also.

The top of the device has some branding lightly etched into the top plate with a series of venting holes below the name, the 510 is not centered and is located above the fire button location.

The other side also has a porcelain panel and as you can see it looks totally different from the other panel which I don't really mind but it would be nice to have two exactly matched panels . You can change these panels by removing 4 screws that I think is a nice touch if you get tired of looking at them just change them instead of buying another device. I know that the original had custom panels that could be found on the internet but I don't know if any company makes them for the Dual.

The spine of the device remains the same as the original with it's familiar rubber ribs.

The bottom of the device is where the battery door is located, using the popular latch method as many manufactures use with dual battery devices. To open that latch door simply pull back on the latch which will then release the battery door. The door itself is hinged and seems very very well constructed, there is very little play in it and there is a arrow showing the direction to pull back to. One word of caution, when changing batteries and closing the door remember to pull back on the latch switch and also push down to make sure it latches securely.

Polarity is marked inside both battery tubes with a red + and a blue - symbol, there is also polarity markings on the battery door with a white + and a white - symbol as well. What I'm not happy seeing is the poor job of powder coating that was done around the battery tubes as this picture shows .

The front of the device remains the same as the original with all buttons being the same as the first edition and the USB remains the same also, no Type-C with the Dual. What has changed is the UI display and I'm not liking the color choices that you get, you have 3 choices being red, green and yellow. Even though the display looks somewhat dated I can live with that but these colors look like they were rushed, Vandy Vape could have done a better job with the display. The internals on the other hand work very well with a very fast response time and a clean signal at any wattage setting I tried. Information is laid out very well on the display.

Vandy Vape has a very nice option on the Dual that the original also has, it allows the user to prevent a function of the device from being viewed as well as disarming it from working . To give you a better idea of what I'm saying let me explain, I am a wattage only vaper and would never use temperature modes but going through the menu I will have to see them and then skip over them but Vandy Vapes gives the user a choice to not even see them in the menu saving some time, I wish other manufacturers had this deactivation feature.

To activate any feature simply highlight it and it will become active, to deactivate a feature you don't want to see or use simple unhighlight it and you will never see it in the menu when going through the many power modes of temperature control, bypass, as well as voltage mode.

The power menu is opened with 3 presses of the fire button, the power mode that your in begins flashing and to change modes use the up or down button to move from mode to mode and once your in your desired mode press the fire button to put you in that mode.

To get into your preheat modes press the fire button 4 times and use the up or down buttons to move to your desired preheat mode then press the fire button to exit the menu.

Holding down both the up and down buttons simultaneously opens up the main menu with your up and down buttons moving you along just like the other menus. This main menu contains your settings, hibernation time settings, brightness, puff counter clearer,color choices for your display screen, version of software, download app for your phone, factory reset and exit.

This is not the easiest menu system to navigate but it's really not that bad once you have gone through it a few times, there are actually 3 seperate menus in this device.

We still have a few button combinations to go over, of course 5 presses of the fire button turns the device on and off.

Pressing both the power and up button simultaneously locks the wattage, pressing both the fire and down simultaneously flips the display screen.

I know there is a lot of features with the Jackaroo Dual menus as well as button combinations to remember but you will pick it up fast. I hope that I haven't forgot anything else with the menus.

FINAL IMPRESSIONS

The final impression I have of the Jackaroo Dual is a good one because I think everything was changed from the original device that held it back and that was the weight. With the new Dual version being made from a much lighter alloy combination we get a lighter device with the benefit of having longer battery life with 2 18650's.

The new chipset works great, I never had any problems with the device firing or voltage sags and the menu may not be the easiest, it still gives the user so many options on how they want to use it. It's like that slogan ( HAVE IT YOUR WAY ).

My only complaint is with the display color choices but after using the device for some time now I've grown to accept it, I can't let a perfectly functioning device get a bad rap just for bad color choices.

I still use the original and will keep the Jackaroo dual out and in play for some time to come. I haven't touched on battery life yet am I can tell you battery management is very good. As far as TC modes go I can't say anything good or bad about them because I vape in wattage only.

So in closing I am happy with the Jackaroo Duals performance and menu as well as having a App now for finding your mod by using your phone if it gets misplaced somewhere. This happens to me all the time when reviewing many devices , it's a great feature to have on a device.

I would like to thank Lilia and Sourcemore for providing the Jackaroo Dual for the purpose of this review and I hope this review helped anyone looking to purchase this tough as nails device. You can purchase the Jackaroo Dual at Sourcemore and use this code JACK to bring the price down to $43.99 Vandy Vape Jackaroo Dual 18650 Mod 188W
