I'm not new to vaping or this forum but forgot my log in and created a new page. I stopped checking in and following vape news due to various reasons. Well.. recently I came across a post taking about a ban on nic and I checked the website I last ordered from and all seemed well. Then a few days ago a similar post and I ended up really looking into it and have learned I can no longer order nic. Part vent and part kicking myself for not stocking up. How's everyone adjusting? Any news on a review on this ban?

Hello again everyone and welcome back for todays review of the Luxe PM40 by Vaporesso. First Let me tell you that this is a internal battery device that has a range of 5-40w and is very minimalistic in design having only 1 button and has a fully adjustable airflow that works well. The PM40 comes in a nice array of colors and has a bright display screen with plenty of information for the user. As always lets find out a little information on the Luxe PM40 first before I give you my views of it after using it for a couple of weeks, SMALL BUT POWERFUL.

COMPACT AND ATTRACTIVE





FIRST IMPRESSIONS

As always with Vaporesso the LUXE PM40 is presented in a slide out box that when opened reveals a attractive packet that holds all your paperwork and it sits on top of a tray containing the LUXE PM40, extra pod, 2 coils and a nice braided Type-C cable. Vaporesso always goes the extra mile even in their presentation of devices.




The color I was given for review is the Lava color and it looks very nice using a stabilized wood look . On one side of the device is the only button used on the device to fire and adjust your wattage, at the top is some small branding .




The other side is where the airflow selector is located and it is a slider type and works very well with no chance of coming off your setting if put in a pocket . There is very small branding of LUXE PM40 at the top of the device.







The pod does not use magnets to attach to the device but rather clicks into place very securely' I had never had the pod pull apart from the device itself.





Filling the pod is done just like the Xros by pulling the mouthpiece off the pod revealing a
membrane that is used in the Xros pod.

The type of one way membrane that lets juice go in and seals when the juice tip is removed. Having a clear pod is so helpful for juice viewing.





The airflow slider controls 3 slots for airflow with one side having 2 slots and the other having only one. You can vape MTL with the airflow fully closed down if you like a open MTL and RDL going to DL the more you open the airflow up. Airflow has no whistle and is smooth in any setting that is selected.






The LUXE PM40 uses GTX coils but the ones supplied with the LUXE PM40 are different than the regular GTX coils with the ones supplied having a additional o ring and indent to secure it in the pod and a larger o ring at the bottom of the coil. The original GTX coil on the left with the supplied GTX coil on the right.






The display screen is bright with all information displayed in a well laid out pattern with Ω's displayed in the upper left and the puff counter underneath. Your battery bar is located at the upper right with battery % underneath and wattage is displayed in the center. At the bottom of the display screen is the Type-C port.





THE MENU


There is no menu at all with the LUXE PM40 not even a puff counter reset that I'm sure will be on the device when it's released for public sales or will be able to be installed with a firmware update. To turn the device on/off is done with 5 quick presses of the power button, once on 3 quick presses of the power button will get the wattage display flashing then press the power button to increase wattage while it's blinking. You can only go forward with wattage until hitting 40w then it will round robin back to 5w and begin increasing again. Very simple and easy set up.


PROS
* COMPACT
* ATTRACTIVE
* GREAT FLAVOR
* LARGE 1800 MAH BUILT IN BATTERY
* NO POD REMOVAL FOR FILLING JUICE
* 3 AIRFLOW SLOTS
* INSTANT FIRE
* FAST 2 AMP TYPE-C CHARGING
* SMOOTH AIRFLOW

CONS
* NO PUFF COUNTER RESET
* BATTERY DRAINS FAST


FINAL IMPRESSIONS

In the time I've used the device I've enjoyed it because of the compact size with no worry of the airflow selector coming off the setting even sitting snug in my pants pocket. This device will do a loose MTL just fine and open up to a RDL and further to a DL smoothly. The LUXE PM40 uses GTX coils and these are different than the standard GTX coils but the flavor is still the same producing great flavor as well as enough vapor to satisfy me any way I vaped it.

I think it was a oversight from Vaporesso to not include a reset for the puff counter and hope the retail version will have one installed or a firmware update to install one. The other thing that concerns me is how rapid the battery drains , I mean 1 or 2 percentage points drop with every vape but I was getting 320 to 330 vapes on every charge so that don't sound right, and another thing I have to mention is the LUXE PM40 has a 5 second vape cutoff instead of the usual 10. I rarely if ever vape over 4 seconds but the flavor was so good that one day I just kept going and the cutoff kicked in, that's how I found out about the 5 second vape cutoff.

Filling the pod is fast and mess free with the membrane that's used on the XROS device also. With a 1800 mAH battery I almost get a full day but it needs 1 additional charge for the entire day for myself, your vaping time may vary.
( UPDATE ) I just received information from Vaporesso that the puff counter will reset once 999 puff's have been reached, the device does not support manual reset. Also the battery problem was on the first run of samples which was what I have, that problem has been rectified by Vaporesso.

So in closing I still take it with me every time I leave the house and will continue to do so because of all the reasons I listed above.

I would like to thank Jasmine and Vaporesso for providing the LUXE PM40 for review and I hope this review helped anyone looking to purchase it. Remember mine is a sample version.

THANK YOU

Freemax M Pro 2 Sub Ohm Tank

Introduction
The M Pro 2 sub ohm tank from Freemax has been out a good few months now. The M Pro 2 is the newer version of the Freemax Mesh Pro, which was a very highly regarded tank and made many top sub ohm tank lists. I never tried the original, but a few complaints I have seen were that the top cap sliding mechanism was a little too easy to open, which could cause liquid spillages, and that the resin version of the Mesh Pro could be a little fragile.

Let's have a look at what Freemax have done with the M Pro 2 to address these issues.

Photo Album

Disclaimer: The Freemax M Pro 2 Tank was sent to me by Health Cabin for review.

Design & Build Quality
The M Pro 2 tank is constructed from resin and stainless steel. The original M Pro was available in either resin or steel, with the resin model obviously being fragile and susceptible to breaking if dropped accidentally.

This hybrid design should hopefully alleviate some of that fragility as the resin on the top cap and bottom airflow control ring are encased in a chunky stainless steel ring, with cut outs to see the resin beneath. It gives the tank a sturdy look, which at first I wasn’t a big fan of. It has grown on me over my testing period, but may not be for everyone.

The glass that comes pre-installed on the tank has a cut glass pattern, if I’m honest that had to go straight away (totally subjective, it just makes me think of an 80’s ashtray). Once I swapped it for the plain glass included in the box, that’s when I started to appreciate the tanks' looks a little more. Both these glass tank sections hold 5ml of juice (TPD 2ml), so it’s just a matter of personal preference.

The top cap has a push and slide mechanism to access the juice fill port. There is a little red dot which indicates where you push and it’s sturdy and slides very smoothly, clicking back into place nicely when closed. Freemax says they implemented 3 steel balls in the sliding top cap mechanism, which increases friction and reduces accidental opening of the top cap. It is still easy enough to open with one hand, and during my testing I’ve had zero leaks or issues with it.

When you slide open the top cap, if you look down the drip tip you can see a little air release hole, which helps air to escape when filling the tank with liquid. Being a sliding top cap, it's nice to see the air release hole as there is only one fill hole. The fill hole is big enough, but air locks can still happen, so the air release hole allows pressure to be released when filling.

The drip tip is an 810 with dual o-rings and the drip tip hole also has an o-ring in it, so you should be able to use any 810 drip tip with the tank if you want to. The included drip tip is made from resin and matches the rest of the resin on the tank, in whichever colour scheme you have chosen. It's a chunky drip tip, but I found it to be comfortable to use.

The airflow control ring is nice and smooth when adjusting. It also has a stopper at fully closed and fully opened, which prevents the air flow ring free spinning. Although smooth, the ring won’t move by itself, it has a nice restriction to its movement.

Coils
The coils for the M Pro 2 are Freemax’s new COILTECH 4.0 SS904L coils. These coils are made with military grade SS904L mesh and have a 95% Tea Fiber Cotton and 5% Organic Cotton wick. The coils are compatible with the original M Pro and the original coils are also compatible with the M Pro 2.

The coils are really big, with enormous wicking ports too, so I can't see there being any issues with wicking. This is a good thing as the coils do run on the higher end of wattage so liquid is going to need to keep the coils saturated well to avoid any dry hits.

In the box you get the M1 and M2 coils, a single and double coil respectively. The other two coil available are the M3 and M4, a triple and quadruple coil.

The full range of coils and their recommended wattage ranges are as follows:

M1 Mesh Coil 0.15ohm: 40-70W | Best 65W
M2 Mesh Coil 0.2ohm: 60-90W | Best 80W
M3 Mesh Coil 0.15ohm: 80-110W | Best 100W
M4 Mesh Coil 0.15ohm: 70-110W | Best 95W

Performance
The airflow on the M Pro 2 is very, very airy! Fully open I feel like there's no restriction at all. I personally prefer a bit more of a restricted vape when vaping DTL and I had to close the AFC ring ¾ of the way to get it where I like it. It's not an issue, as long as I can close it to where I like it then I'm fine with that.

Flavour on the M2 coil is really, really nice. The coil wicks beautifully and dry hits are non existent, even running at the highest recommended wattage. This coil is up there with the best sub ohm coils that I've tried.

Coil life has been good too. I've gotten over a week of use before the flavour started to drop.

The M1 coil was lacking in flavour compared to the M2 coil, for me. Not bad at all, but after the M2 coil there was no comparison. The M1 coil wicks great too, but after the flavour of the M2 coil I gave the M1 coil a few tanks full of liquid then had to move on to other things.

Not having tried the M3 and M4 coils, I can’t say how they perform.

The M Pro 2 didn't leak at all while I was using it. It's a thirsty tank though, probably why you get two bubble glasses instead of a straight and bubble.

Verdict
Overall, the M Pro 2 is a great sub ohm tank. The M2 coil included is a fantastic performer, so it’s a shame the M1 coil doesn't quite provide as good flavour.

No leaking, plenty of airflow if you want it, strong and sturdy and the sliding top cap sure feels secure to me. I was throwing it in my pocket and never had it open on me.

The M Pro 2 is more suited to dual battery mods, due to the high wattage required for the coils, which is why it's a shame the M1 coil does pack as much flavour; it would be easier on your batteries and provide a more realistic use on a single battery mod.

For me, this is one of the best sub ohm tanks that I have used.

Pros

• Great build quality, sturdy tank
  
• No leaking
  
• Really great flavour from M2 coil
  
• Compatible with older Mesh Pro coils
  
• Good coil life

Cons

• Coils run on the higher end of wattage, not really suited for a single battery mod (Subjective)
  
• M1 coil not in same league as M2 coil

Thank you for reading and thank you to Health Cabin for sending the M Pro 2 tank to me for review. They have them on their website currently for £15.44 / $19.44.

Hello again and welcome back for another review. This time I was sent not one but two pod devices by Vaporesso in order to do a comparison of the two. I was a bit surprised to receive a competitor’s product from Vaporesso but evidently they think that the new Vaporesso Luxe PM40 pod and the Smok Nord 2 are similar enough that they would like people to see the difference. Therefore I will show some pictures and specifications on both then give my opinion on which one I think is the better unit. Let’s go down and take a look.

First Impressions:

Upon opening both units, they seem very similar at first. Both kits contained the mod, two pods, two coils, charging cable, user guide and warranty information. Both units are very close in size and basic operation. The Luxe PM40 comes with .6 ohm and .8 ohm coils while the Nord 2 comes with a .4 ohm and .8 ohm coil. I was already very familiar with the GTX coils used in the PM40 since Vaporesso has continued to use these coils in several of their devices. This is greatly appreciated on my part since I can stock one series of coils for several different devices. Prior to this review, I had never tried any of the Smok coils. I felt like the .4 ohm coil was ok but not great even with the wattage turned almost all the way up it was an airy DTL with not much warmth. The .8 ohm coil was a little more restricted but still a very airy MTL since the Nord 2 does not have airflow adjustment. The flavor produced by both of the Smok coils was what I would call mediocre at best. The GTX coils in the Luxe PM40 did very well in my opinion. The airflow control on the PM40 greatly contributed to the flavor and vaping experience in my opinion. The .6 coil was good for me as a restricted DTL vape while the .8 coil was able to be used both as an airy MTL or a tight MTL by closing down the airflow control.

Both units are turned on and off with five clicks of the fire button. Also, three clicks of the fire button will make the wattage on the display screen flash so that it can be adjusted. Pressing the fire button quickly while it is flashing will increase the wattage by one watt at a time until it reaches 40 and then it scrolls back to 5. Pressing and holding the fire button while it’s flashing will do a quick scroll up to 40 and then you must let off and press again to start over at 5. This feature is where I experienced an issue with the Nord2. Not just the first few times I tried but on multiple occasions, I would press the fire button three times and the wattage didn’t start flashing for adjustment. I would have to try several times before I could adjust the wattage. Maybe it was my timing and maybe not. I’m not sure but it was annoying. I didn’t have the same problem with the PM40. The puff counter on the Nord 2 is reset every time the pod is removed while I still have not discovered how to reset the puff counter on the PM40. I have however emailed Vaporesso and will post on it when I find out.

One other thing I should mention about the Nord 2 is that the coils included are not interchangeable between the two pods included which I’m sure is why the coils come pre installed in the pods where the ones in the PM40 kit will fit in either pod. The .4 coil in the Nord 2 kit is an RPM series coil which is physically larger than the .8 coil which is a nord coil. I discovered this the hard way when I took the .8 coil with me to work since I was planning on switching from the .4 to the .8 for testing. I however just pulled the coil out of the pod in the kit and took it to work with me only to discover it won’t fit in the RPM pod.

The pods for both units fit tight and had no issues with them pulling out accidentally. At first glance the pods look similar but the PM40 mouthpiece is somewhat flat and had a good feel to it on the lips while the Nord 2 mouthpiece is more curved and honestly felt awkward for me to use. The pod for the PM40 is designed like the pod for the Xros which has a removable mouthpiece with a fill hole and a second air hole on top so that air can escape while filling. I really like the design of this since I don’t have to take the pod out to fill. The pod for the Nord 2 has a side fill plug so the pod must be removed to fill and like I mentioned earlier, this will reset the puff counter which I do not like.

Smok Nord 2

Side by side:

Final Thoughts:

Although both the Nord 2 and the PM40 are similar in appearance and operation, that is where the similarity ended for me. I found the PM40 to produce better flavor and more dense vapor with similar resistance coils and wattage settings. As they say, the proof is in the pudding. Or, in this case, the proof is in the puff. I felt like the PM40 was superior in many ways. First of all, top fill beats side fill for me any day of the week. I like not having to remove the pod and holding a rubber plug out of the way to fill. Second, the PM40 has a great airflow adjustment while the Nord 2 has none. The slide adjuster for the airflow on the PM 40 is stiff and isn’t easily moved so you don’t have to worry about it moving when taking in and out of a pocket. The third thing and the most important in my opinion is the density of the vapor and flavor produced by the PM40 is superior. This is partly due to the airflow adjustment but also a big part of it is that the GTX coils produce really good flavor.

The battery life seemed decent on both units but I honestly didn’t use the Nord 2 as much simply because I didn’t enjoy the flavor as much as I did on the PM40. The PM40 has an 1800mah high density battery that has a max charging rate of 2A and uses the USB-C connector for charging. The Nord 2 has a 1500mah battery and still uses a micro USB to charge with a max charge rate of 1.2A. Both units have the charge port on the bottom of the mod. The PM40 uses the Axon chip to provide “Turbo Boosting Tech” to provide superior performance repeatedly. The Nord 2 uses the IQ-N chip which I did not find out much about on their site.

The only thing I don’t like about the PM40 is that I have no idea if there is a way to reset the puff counter. The Nord 2 resets the puff counter every time you remove the pod which doesn’t make a lot of sense to me if someone wanted to know how many puffs you were able to get out of a charge.

So, what you really want to know is would I recommend one or both of these units for purchase. During my time using both of these, I kept them side by side either on my bench or in my car and I repeatedly reached for the Luxe PM40 many more times than the Nord 2. It all came down to flavor and vaping experience. Not because Vaporesso sent these to me, I would clearly recommend the the Luxe PM40 over the Nord 2 simply because of the reasons stated in my review.

I hope you enjoyed reading my review. Thanks to Vaporesso and Jasmine for sending these units for review and thanks to you the reader that makes this possible. If you’d like to see more information and pictures on both devices then I’ll leave links to both below.

Hello there,

Another pod-mod, there seems to be no end to this, the Xiron by Vaporesso. A new pod-mod that fires up to 50W and is meant for both MTL and DTL vaping.





Thank you @Vaporesso_Chelsea for sending me this kit!

Specifications:











In the box:

• 1 x XIRON Battery
• 1 x XIRON Pod
• 1 × GTX 0.3Ω MESH Coil
• 1 × GTX 0.8Ω MESH Coil
• 1 × Extra Mouthpiece
• 1 × Type-C USB Cable
• 1 x User Manual
• 1 x Warranty Card





Review:

If Vaporesso is good at something, it is making good looking devices with a high-end look. The Xiron is no different, it is another beauty by Vaporesso. Love the way they integrated the metal ‘X’ on both sides of the device, the metal is zinc alloy and the rest of the device feels like some kind of plastic, could not find out what type of, but it has the similar feel as the GEN mod has, feels a bit like silicone.

Because of that Silicone texture it holds very nicely in the hand, a very nice stealth device as it can be fully closed in the palm of my hand. You just have to make sure you are not blocking the airflow while holding. Vaporesso and the Vaporesso logo are very nicely engraved into the Zinc Alloy ‘X’. All buttons feel proper and are large enough for easy firing and navigating.







One of the main plusses of this device is that it has airflow regulation ring similar to the Aegis boost. The airflow ring is made from Zinc alloy and turns smoothly, it allows for a very tight MTL and very airy DTL.

A nice and large enough screen shows the details I like to see, the battery indication, puff counter, wattage, and resistance. It is displayed vertically, which for this device is just fine as it’s a small pod-mod. You are not able to adjust the brightness of the screen. Brightness adjustment is not a big deal as its bright enough. You can easily flip the screen by holding fire and +, and you can get into the menu by holding both + and – at the same time.

In the menu you will find SMART VW, VW, VV, DEFAULT and EXIT. The smart feature is always useful assisting in wattage adjustment. When the DTL coil is inside the pod it automatically sets the wattage to 40W, with the MTL (or RDL) coil it is set to 12W. On the main screen it shows ‘S’ when smart mode is activated. VW and VV speak for itself, but having VV is always a plus even though I am not using it I know a lot of people do. DEFAULT basically resets the device to default; it can be used to reset the puff-counter. You can lock the device with 3 clicks on the fire-button, you will still be able to vape. The device fires up quickly, pretty much instantly.



5.5ML is more than proper for such device, and I am happy they kept the pod transparent. You can easily see how much juice is left inside the pod with the transparent panels on the sides. Filling this thing up is easy with its top fill, very happy they went with top-fill, always a plus for me.







Pods click strongly into place and wiggles minimally (talking about one tenth of a millimeter). Coils are pushed into place from the bottom, no issues there. The drip-tips are 510 and you can use any of your favorite 510 drip-tips on this device, always a plus for me. Not a fan of the preinstalled DTL drip-tip, it’s a bit to straight on the edges. The other round drip-tip is much better for both DTL and MTL. I prefer my own drip-tip for MTL as for me the round drip-tip has a bit too large inner bore.





Both coils in the kit are just amazing like all other Vaporesso coils. With the GTX 0.3Ω MESH
Coil (32-45W) you can get a very flavorful dense DTL vape, and the airflow here can be used to give it more restiveness. Like this coil most with the airflow halfway closed and at 40W.

The GTX 0.8Ω MESH Coil (12-20W) can be used for both MTL and RDL, but I mainly tested it as an MTL coil. The airflow allows for a medium loose MTL draw when fully closed, there is still air going through when closed. Flavor when using as an MTL coil is impressive just like the 0. 3Ω coil, very flavorful. No leaking and no spitbacks or gurgling, all very smooth without any issues.



Good news is that there are more coils available for this device, 0.6ohm Mesh (20-30w), 1.2ohm Mesh (7-11W), 1.2 ohm round-wire (8-12w) and the GTX RBA coil. Also, from as far as I investigated, Voopoo PnP coils are also compatible with this device.

USB-C it is, seems to be Vaporesso standard by now, very good. Like the fact they went with the USB port on the front of the device, I just prefer my device to stand up straight while charging. I am able to get 115 puffs at 40W and 300 puffs at 15W with the MTL coil, quite impressive. I full charge takes about 40 minutes with its 2amp charging, fast.

Conclusion:

Even though it’s another pod-mod this one has its uniqueness, first it looks stunning, is small and just delivers very well, both MTL and DTL. It is very easy to use and trouble free.

Biggest plusses of this kit are ease of use, its design, top-fill, airflow adjustment, USB-C (fast charge), battery efficiency, VV option and great performance for both DTL and MTL.

If there is anything, I would change it would be the pre-installed drip-tip, would have been nice to have a wider bore round drip-tip for DTL.

For who is this device? First of all, for pod-mod fanatics, but also for those that are looking for a device that performs very well both DTL and MTL.

Let me know if any questions, thank you!

Coil (32-45W) you can get a very flavorful dense DTL vape, and the airflow here can be used to give it more restiveness. Like this coil most with the airflow halfway closed and at 40W.

The GTX 0.8Ω MESH Coil (12-20W) can be used for both MTL and RDL, but I mainly tested it as an MTL coil. The airflow allows for a medium loose MTL draw when fully closed, there is still air going through when closed. Flavor when using as an MTL coil is impressive just like the 0. 3Ω coil, very flavorful. No leaking and no spitbacks or gurgling, all very smooth without any issues.



Good news is that there are more coils available for this device, 0.6ohm Mesh (20-30w), 1.2ohm Mesh (7-11W), 1.2 ohm round-wire (8-12w) and the GTX RBA coil. Also, from as far as I investigated, Voopoo PnP coils are also compatible with this device.

USB-C it is, seems to be Vaporesso standard by now, very good. Like the fact they went with the USB port on the front of the device, I just prefer my device to stand up straight while charging. I am able to get 115 puffs at 40W and 300 puffs at 15W with the MTL coil, quite impressive. I full charge takes about 40 minutes with its 2amp charging, fast.

Conclusion:

Even though it’s another pod-mod this one has its uniqueness, first it looks stunning, is small and just delivers very well, both MTL and DTL. It is very easy to use and trouble free.

Biggest plusses of this kit are ease of use, its design, top-fill, airflow adjustment, USB-C (fast charge), battery efficiency, VV option and great performance for both DTL and MTL.

If there is anything, I would change it would be the pre-installed drip-tip, would have been nice to have a wider bore round drip-tip for DTL.

For who is this device? First of all, for pod-mod fanatics, but also for those that are looking for a device that performs very well both DTL and MTL.

Let me know if any questions, thank you!

Hi everyone im new here

Hi,
I've been using the Smok Stick X8 for quite a while. It's the best vape pen for my needs. It appears the kit is no longer available, but I have spare tanks, glass, and coils. The only spare part I can't find is a battery. Does anyone know where I can find a spare battery, or even better, the full Smok Stick X8 starter kit?

Alternatively, is there a 3,000ish mah battery that would work with the Smok TFV8 X-Baby tank?

Thanks,

Jim

Review:

Have to start by saying that opening Wotofo boxes is always a nightmare if you don’t want to destroy anything, the hard plastic cover sits so tights that it takes some nerve to get it taken of the box, don’t really understand why it is so tight as there is also plastic wrap around the whole kit.





It’s a beautiful looking pod-mod, and the leather flaws into the zinc alloy very nicely, no additional frames are added to keep it in place. It has the regular kind of weight (166g with 18650) for such pod-mod, but it is a bit taller compared to its competitors, for example the Drag X, it is 3 cm taller.





It feels nicely in the hand, and the coating and paint on the zinc alloy is really done properly, it feels very smooth. The leather provides a nice grip to it. As you know it’s an 18650 pod-mod, which always is a win. The battery door type is not my preferred type, but this one feels solid, its not rattling when opened and sits nice and tight when closed.



Large screen contains most important information, battery %, wattage, voltage, Ohms, puff counter and vape timer, but the screen it is a bit dim and not adjustable. It is fine when not right into the sunlight. All buttons feel nice and solid, not rattling. The fire button is sticking out a bit on the bottom for a comfortable fire.

Even though it has a large screen, there is not too many functionalities on this pod-mod, quite minimal. There is no additional menu’s to the home screen and the device only supports VW. There is however some nice functionalities; lock wattage only by holding the + and - buttons simultaneously, lock the fire-button by clicking the fire button 3 times, reset the puff-counter by holding fire and - button, and last but not least switch between 6 color themes by holding the fire button and + button.



When holding the adjustment buttons is scrolls fast from 5w to 80W and it does go back to 5W once reached 80W and vice versa. It adjusts in 1W increments which is totally fine as it’s a DTL pod-mod only considering the available coils.

Main downside of this device is that there is no airflow adjustment, something I expect from pod-mods nowadays. But I must also in the same time admit that the airflow for the provided coils is quite spot on, at least for me.



Pods click right into place with a strong click system, no magnets on the pod nor device. It sits very well inside the device and does not wiggle. You can easily remove the pod by pushing the designated button on the top of the device.





Good thing is that you have no need to take out the pod unless you need to change a coil as it is top fill. Removing the rubber gasket uncovers a large fill-hole. 4.5ml is OK, could be better, but also worse. With larger bottle tips the drip-tip can be a bit in the way, but the fill-hole is so large that it shouldn’t cause issues there. Pods are on the dark side, but still are transparent enough to see the liquid, and Wotofo designed it in this way that the pod is almost fully visible while inserted, good thing. Coils press fit only one way; the straight part needs to line up with the plastic center pieces sticking out.



Unfortunately, it does not have replaceable drip-tips, you need to be happy with the one you get on the pod. For me it’s a comfortable round drip-tip, the type which fits this type of device.

Best part is that this thing just vapes so well. It fires up pretty much instantly and the flavor and cloud production on these coils is just outstanding, for me a real contender to the Vaporesso GTX coils. And let me tell you something, these coils are cross-compatible with Voopoo’s PnP coils and Vaporesso GTX coils, which is great! So even if you already own a GTX or PnP coil device, you can just get yourself some of these Wotofo Manik coils to give it a try.



All coils, #D11 0.2ohm 45-55w, #D13 0.2ohm 37-43w, #D14 0.2ohm 35-40W and #D15 45-55W vape just all amazingly great. All are mesh coils with a twist to it, but if I must choose my favorite coil it would be the #15 Clapton mesh coil. I have been a fan of Clapton mesh since I tried it, it provides a bit warmer vape with more concentrated flavor, but slightly less vapor.

Have not experienced any mess with the coils nor pod, no leaking and no gurgling, all just very pleasant.

An RBA base will be still released later on this year for the Manik, and from the pictures I have seen online it will be a dual and single base, would be great to see a dual RDTA pod on an 80W device!

Conclusion:

Have to say that Wotofo did a good job on this one, especially with the knowledge its their first pod-mod, it already beats many pod-mods from the more ‘experiences’ pod-mod producers. It is a properly made solid device that looks very nice. For some it might be a bit too minimal, but I personally think a pod-mod does not need much more than the Manik offers.

With 4 coil options you have something to choose from, and no matter which one you try, the flavor will be amazing and dense, one of the best pod-mod coils out there right now. Them being cross compatible with PnP and GTX devices is a major win.

If anything, I would improve it would be airflow adjustment, replaceable 510-drip tip, and brightness adjustment. AND the packaging, they should replace that hardcover plastic from the box.

Good news is that this kit is also not pricy for what you get, on the official Wotofo website it is sold for 39,95$ > Wotofo Manik Pod Mod

Thank you for reading!

Hello!

I have a small office in my house in which I enjoy vaping a lot. But I need the vapor to dissipate more quickly than it does! If I open my office door and leave it open for less than a minute, the vapor comes out and sets off our smoke alarm which is attached to a service that dispatches fire response! Thankfully, I've been able to run downstairs to, hit the code and talk to the alarm company to stop the trucks from coming, but as one might imagine, this is not fun. And it's anxiety-provoking for me. Additionally, the vapor filling and remaining in the room is... unattractive for Skype meetings.

I would love a desktop exhaust of some kind that can dissipate the vapor at least a bit if I smoke into it. But here's the thing, it needs to not be a window exhaust. It's too cold in the winter to have that running in the window and in the summer, I have an A/C unit in the window. Smokeless ashtrays are meant to collect smoke off a burning cigarette and by my research do not pull exhaled smoke.

Any thoughts?

Hi ECF members, In this review i take a look at the VX217 21700 VW Box MOD from Augvape. The AUGVAPE VX217 VW Box Mod was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ella from Sourcemore.

Augvape VX217 Mod 217W Box Mod dual 21700/20700/18650 cells



Introduction

Formed in 2014 Augvape started releasing products in 2015, originally they were known for some well received RDA's and RTA's before at the end of 2017 releasing what is still one of my favourite power only devices, the car engine inspired V200! Now they are a mainstay releasing product regularly including atomizers, mods and AIO devices and here we have their latest mod, the VX217.

The VX217 is a dual 21700 power only device which is just 80mm in height and offers both variable wattage and voltage as well as Bypass Mode. The VX217 utilises a dial rather than navigational buttons, has a top wattage of 217W and can output a whopping 12V in power. With an LCD RGB user defined feature allowing customisation of the display colour as well as other useful settings, let's check out the VX217!

1 x Warranty Card

___________________________________________________________________



Aesthetics and Ergonomics

The VX217 came in cardboard box packaging with outer sleeve and on opening it's short height was so noticeable i immediately double checked the device actually can accommodate dual 21700 batteries. The form factor is very rounded so as long as you have a reasonable sized hand to wrap round it's very ergonomic with a huge protruding fire button you just can't miss. There is a trade off for it's short height though and that's an increase of it's other dimensions and being made from Zinc Alloy it's quite a weight so for me more suitable as a desktop device because with dual 21700's inside it weighs the pocket down.

I received the Green version which is a nice Olive Green, the options are Gray, Black or Green. The face recesses in from both top and bottom sections that protrude out, the top protruding out helps with being able to fit reasonable sized atomizers despite the 510 being brought forward beyond the batteries to keep the height down. The face plate is plastic and semi-transparent in nature, as already mentioned up top we have a huge protruding fire button that both curves inwards from top and bottom and has grooves! Next is a large colour display followed by a large Black dial that rotates instead of the usual up and down buttons, finally at the bottom is a Type C USB port.

On the base we have the hatch door with safety stamps, branding and venting. Moving up top we have an outer 24mm circular ridge and inner circular ridge surrounding the 510 threading rather than a 510 plate, the 510 is both Gold plated and spring loaded. The best way of describing the overall build quality is by the word "solid" and for it's price point no complaints!

Why The VX217?

Most mods these days all perform pretty much the same with no noticeable delay when firing and with good ramp up and if it takes data from a computer to spot any short comings of a device compared to another is it important as computers don't vape, people do. By the way i don't know what data readouts say about the VX217 i was just generalising and thinking out loud!

So what are the standout selling points of the VX217? First is it's height being only 80mm tall which is tiny for a 21700 compatible device and slightly shorter than most of my 18650 devices. Then we have the fact in Variable Voltage the device is capable of outputting 12V although personally i am never going to be at 12V ever, but still technically very impressive.







Next we have a dial instead of up and down buttons, not unique but still much rarer than the more usual buttons option and i must admit i do like turning the dial rather than pressing buttons! The downside is you no longer have the holding down option to speed things up like adjusting wattage.





Also worth mentioning is the PCB uses as little wiring as possible making the device very efficient which along with dual 21700 batteries gives plenty of battery life and high performance.





Finally for a power only device that has no TC or curve options the device still has plenty of features including a User defined LCD RGB for customising the display colour and a statistics screen which gives all kinds of information including puffs, average puff time, average wattage and total joules (work) the device has done!



___________________________________________________________________



Fitting The Batteries

The batteries get fitted via the bottom hatch door which has a protruding metal tab on the door and metal loop on the base for the tab to get inserted into to lock the door in place. Included and coming already fitted in the battery tubes there is a double 18650 adaptor to allow dual 18650's to be used.





With adaptor removed the device accommodates either dual 21700 or dual 20700 batteries. On the underside of the hatch door orientation is labelled and also the slots are labelled A and B, it is Black on Black so doesn't stand out well but orientation is also marked vibrantly at the bottom of the tubes and plenty of light gets into the battery tubes giving good visibility.

With batteries fitted the door is very secure, i could detect slight sidewards movement from 20700 batteries but no movement or rattle whatsoever using either 21700's or 18650's with supplied adaptor!



___________________________________________________________________



The Display

The Display is not the brightest even when set to 100% in the menu, well to be honest if you set the colour in the menu to White on Black i don't really think there is anything wrong with the brightness it's actually the dark translucent panel which makes some colours appear dim. Some of the font is also small but indoors i had no issues and have known worse dimmed displays but when outdoors in sunlight it's a struggle to see. The colours of the font and accents can be custom set in the menu by picking different pre-set colours or define your own altering the RGB percentages. With a colour chosen which allows you to clearly see the display it's set out very well with plenty of information. The centre of the screen has a speedometer style design with the pre-heat at the bottom breaking up the circular design.





On the speedometer there is a large dot that moves around the circular line as you alter wattage or voltage. In the centre of the circle we have the wattage or voltage depending which mode you are in which can be altered by turning the dial clockwise to increase or anti clockwise to decrease. On the outside of the circular line we have small circles which have a second in them, these circles start to the left and move all the way around to the right, 11 in total which go from 0 seconds to 10 seconds. These circles are barely visible but as you vape they start lighting up corresponding to your vape duration. Bottom left of the display we have the resistance, central are the 2 battery status bars and finally bottom right is voltage, this changes to watts when in voltage or bypass modes.



___________________________________________________________________



Navigating The VX217

The VX217 is the usual 5 clicks of the fire button to turn on and 5 clicks to turn off and it both powers up and down instantly. Everything on this device apart from the adjustment of wattage or voltage is done using the menu system as their are no combination button press features but unlike the VX200 which couldn't be locked the adjustment dial can be locked on the VX217 but to do so means first entering the menu and then selecting Spin button lock, likewise to unlock it when locked again you need to enter the menu and now the option has changed to Spin button unlock which you again need to select.

To enter the menu system is 3 clicks of the fire button and once in the menu system you scroll between options using the navigational dial and fire is select. The main screen of the menu system gives the following options, Variable Wattage, Variable Voltage, Bypass, Spin Button Lock, Settings and information, all screens in the menu system have a final option of Back to take you to the main screen and all menus round robin.

When choosing Variable Wattage it gives you the options of Normal, Soft or Hard, Variable Voltage is just that and Bypass operates with the batteries in series. When choosing Settings you get another list of options which are, Auto Mode (smartly gives suitable wattage dependant on resistance), Cut off time, Standby, LCD Colour Set (choose between Orange Red, Olive Green, Sky Blue, White & Black, User Defined and LCD brightness), when choosing user defined you alter RGB percentages to get the colour you want, the final options in the list are Language and Factory Default.





Going back to the main menu screen the final option is Information, when choosing this you can get hardware and firmware information and also this is where you choose the option for firmware updates, also in the information list we have Statistics which gives all sorts of information including puffs, average vape time, average wattage and an option to reset all statistics. So the VX217 despite being Power only and having no curves mode has plenty of features and endless colour options for the display.

When in Variable Wattage the dial adjusts wattage in 1W increments from 5W right up to 217W and round robins. When in Variable Voltage mode it adjusts in 0.05V increments from 0.5V right up to 12V. I really do like the use of a dial rather than buttons but the only drawback is when adjusting wattage or voltage the speed can't be increased by holding a button down so depending by how much you need to alter it can take some time!

Protections (taken from manual):

Low Voltage Protection
Over-heat Protection
Short Circuit Protection
High Resistance Protection
Over-current Protection
Reverse Battery Protection
Over-vape Protection
Over-charge Protection

___________________________________________________________________



Charging

As usual i only recommend charging in the device if it's your only option but if you do the VX217 has a Type C USB port for charging and data transfer supporting a 1.2A max charge rate (not the quickest) and pass-through. While charging the display shows battery status bars for each battery and a single charging progress bar, also wish it gave estimated time left but overall, happy!



___________________________________________________________________



Final Thoughts!

Just to mention there is a kit version available which includes the In-Take Sub-ohm Tank which i have not used but it has top to bottom airflow and the coil heads included in the kit are Clapton Mesh. The only other Clapton Mesh coil heads i have used are the Lost Vape Ultra Boost Clapton Mesh coil head which give both great flavour and excellent longevity!

I love the satisfying stiff click the fire button gives not minding the stiffness at all as this will ensure it doesn't fire accidentally, it's so easy to find and when pressing the device fires without delay with impressive ramp up! I also like the dial that works great but the downside is unlike with a button that you can hold down to increase the speed when scrolling or adjusting wattage etc it does mean everything is done at one speed. Also the dial does give a click when pressed but doesn't seem to do anything, it would be so much better if 3 clicks of the dial locked it rather than needing to go into the menu to do this.

Part because of the one speed of the dial and part because it's multi tiered navigating the menu is quite a slow process but it is very user friendly and for a power only device it offers plenty of features including a stats screen that gives a wealth of operational information and also display customisation allowing the RGB for the display to be user defined by altering the percentages essentially allowing an endless array of colour and shade options!

Being able to output 12V some will absolutely love but it's not for me and the device can also be used in Bypass for a more mech like experience but with the piece of mind you still have all the protections a regulated device offers. The device is also very efficient and with the accommodation of 21700 batteries it makes the battery life excellent while also giving great performance!

Although the 510 has been brought forward to allow for the device's short height it will still comfortably accommodate a 30mm atomizer as shown in the second photo below. The final pro and con is that it has Type C USB yet the charge rate is a sluggish 1.2A, overall a very good power only dual 21700 option!!!!

The Ultroner & Fallout Vape Gaea 21700 is at its heart and widening of the body of the original Gaea to fit in 21 and 20700 batteries. Still carrying the same well-regarded board and chip from the original stab wood line of the mod, this new line is lighter than the original but takes larger batteries.

Hi... wish someone could help. Has anyone have been convicted ordering vape products online? Uneasy soul here.

I have a bottle (125 ml) of 50/50 36mg nic. I have added 250 ml of 50/50 no nic to this mixture. What concentration do I have? My math is off today. This should be very easy.

Thanks

Gm all, I'm trying to recreate something close to naked100's euro gold. Any suggestions on how to achieve that? It almost smells and tastes like theres some honey in it.

This rta has only one english speaking review on youtube and deserves more attention. It uses the same "top down" juice feed as my favorite atty the Origen tiny tank. I purchased a couple from ft in the stainless finish and this new company has impressed me with it's performance. I build the coil, pull the coil off center to align as close as possible to the air intake. Leave the wick tails extra long and fold each under itself to insure each are in contact with the juice feed tubes. Smooth air flow, dead silent draw, with great flavor. The review I watched had some trouble with fit and finish, mine were both perfect which might give some thought about quality control. Other then that potential problem this rivals any of my low or high end attys. The most convenient aspect for this rta is when checking your build or changing the wick, just pull the tank off like a dripper cap.

I am trying to charge it, but all in vain, it isn't charging. I tried about 4 different USB's. None of those I tried worked. It is charging the Stick, that's it.
If anybody knows what to do let me know.
