Just got it today, and wanted to share my thoughts on it so far.
First off, even before I opened the box, I was impressed with the very nice packaging. I was even more thrilled to see it once opened; everything has a very nice professional, understated look to it. It comes with a PCC, two standard batteries, a USB cable and AC adapter, a USB battery charger, and one free five-pack of pre-filled cartos (I chose menthol 12mg.). I also ordered a five-pack of blank cartos to use with the Halo Mystic e-juice I have; I'll order more once I have a better feel for their juice.
The batteries have a really nice look to them, and I like the fact that I can have five cartos and the two batteries all in one case. This is particularly useful for me, because I travel quite a bit for work, and being able to recharge on the go is definitely a key feature for me, which is why I chose this kit. The PCC allows for the two batteries to be stored, one slides into a cylinder and another screws into the charging port. The PCC itself can be recharged via a port on the lower right side of the pack. Curiously, Apollo chose to make this a mini-USB port, instead of the rather prolific micro-USB standard that most devices have adapted. Not a big deal to me, personally, but it IS one more cable to carry when on a business trip or vacation.
Two [minor] issues I have with the PCC: one, it doesn't allow for storage of one battery with a carto attached, which means I have to remove the battery and one carto and assemble them before using. Not a huge deal, but a [very minor] annoyance. Second, I wish the battery didn't have to be screwed into the PCC. I have large hands, and find that --in order to screw the battery in-- I have to remove one or two of the spare cartos from their slots. Again, not a deal-breaker, just an observation.
The PCC has a display on the lower right front of the case, that allows the charging level to be seen very easily, and there's a back-lit LCD, which is helpful in low-light conditions. Below the LCD is a small button that you can press to see how much of a charge is left on the battery that's in the charging slot, very handy!
As for the e-cig itself: very nice draw, decent vapor, not overly thick, but not weak, either. With the 12 mg. strength, I get a pretty good throat hit without any harsh feeling, and so far, there's no leakage of juice from the carto. I'll know more about this over time, I suspect.
I have to say that, so far, this looks like the kit I'll be sticking with. I had also ordered [and received today] the Green Smoke Ultimate Kit, and I will also be testing that one out eventually, but the fact that this one comes with the PCC makes it a much better fit for my personal needs.
