Indulgence Review

[bluesuede]

I've been getting puny vapor and TH from my Indulgence running on batteries, 18350 mostly, but equally dismal using 18650 and ext. cup. I've been using both v1 and v2. I got the copper springs and don't notice a difference, to tell the truth. So, I have ordered a set of 16340's to see if that is better. Problem is, I forgot to order HV atties... sheesh! If I use regular atties at 6v will I toast them?

It's not the juice. I use the same juice on my Indulgence PT and Riva and am in vapor heaven! Indulgence PT and Riva... maybe I'm spoiled... hahaha

I really like the size of the standard cup compared to the extended cup. But same as you, i cant get much vapor and TH from 18350 and 18650 batteries. So mostly i run it on 16340 batteries. I only have the HV801 & HV901 atties to try with the 6V setup. But honestly i get more TH and vapor with a regular Riva 510 atty. So my favourite setup is the 16340 batteries with regular 510 atties. Havent fried an atty for about a month now.

I get lots of vapor and throat hit but the taste is terrible at 6v for me. It seems like it burns the juice. Is any particular juice better at 6v?

Yes, some juice does taste horrible at 6V. Mostly i vape minty/menthol flavors at 6V and i have my Riva for the other juice.

Just tried a 510 cartomiser on the Indulgence with a 18350 battery. Interestingly, it gave much more vapor than the regular 510 atty. I am a dripper but the Indulgence with a carto is way better than an atty.

Yeah I use cartomizers too. You're right, it's better but still not up to par with the Riva or the PT IMHO...

I have the same issue with my Indulgence. It vapes really well on high voltage but on regular voltage it makes really weak vapor, even compared to regular 510 batteries. I'm guessing maybe it has something to do with the material it is made of?

Yeah, the Riva is still my choice of PV. Bring it everywhere i go. I use Indulgence mostly for 6V vaping but i really like the size of the standard cup.

I use a 801 LR atty on my Indulgence with the 18650 and get lots of vaper. My favorite right now though is the 1300 ego with the mega attys. I like my 1300 Riva too but you can't use the mega attys with it because it is to fat.

 

[bluesuede]

I'm gonna try that!

I spoke about this a while back, I replaced my spring in my Indulgence and put a copper HOT SPRING in my Indulgence, made it out perform the stock Indulgence by a lot, If anyone is interested in where to get them just PM me and I'll direct you to them, no kidding the Copper Hot spring really works on the Indulgence big time with Plumes of Vapor production in the outcome of swapping the spring and it's so simple to do.

My hubby has an Indulgence that needs a hot spring, any idea where I can find one or even another brand that will work. In another post I read that the silver bullet copper hot spring would work. We don't have a silver bullet, so I have no idea if it will or not.
Thanks.

The difference in resistance between what metal the spring is made of can't make much difference in conduction.
What probably makes the difference is that the spring oxidizes/corrodes, so increases the resistance between it and the battery at the top and the shell at the bottom. When you replace it with a new spring, two of the four surfaces are new, so it helps.
You would probably get the same effect by just taking out the spring and filing it both sides where it touches.
Better still, scrape the bottom of the shell and give the battery a few scrapes with a screwdriver too.

Did you know..
There are also a few other contact points;
* Top of the battery touching the bottom of the switch housing
* (can't quite remember but) a little spring between the bottom of the switch housing and the switch.
* The top of the switch to bottom of another little spring2
* Top of Little spring2 to contact plate to adaptor.

And then there's the switch itself, not that reliable (but that's another topic)

The little springs are a clever design for parts that are constantly taken on and off but they introduce weaknesses in the circuit. (It's probably why they evolved to V3 which has less parts).

I've read that the copper spring does make them better and I think the one they use with the SB should work.
