    Yea it was like a BIG Burst, it scared me pretty good! Were you using the Kick at the time Tat? Three bottles sounds like a long time. :)

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    Yes it was a ShiFu, and I was very suprised because I've had another ShiFu atty last 4 weeks, then cleaned, and last 3-4 weeks more. I've been really pleased with the new vapage attys. I hope this was an isolated incident. It was really strange. That is a really cool chart, thanks for the link...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    Actually it was a vapage 2.0 that was on my vmod 2.0 for about 3 weeks, so it was good and broke in. I've never eased an atty into it like that, with an Ego; I've been using atties, mainly vapage attys for a few months, so I'm familiar with the process. I have my first Aero atty sitting here...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    Yea, I think you're right, the placement was a coincidence. I've had atty pops from new attys before, this was a lot more powerful and actually felt like air pressure being blasted into my mouth. I have the kick set to about 9 watts. It's been a good warm vape wiith nice throat hit and vapor...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    I'm glad you found a fix TB. I had something strange happen yesterday. I was using my newly kicked vmod, and it had been sitting for a while, then i picked it up to take a pull off of it, and as soon as I started there was a blast of pressure (the only way i can decribe it), which was really...

    Hey TB, in reference to the aluminum oring heating up on the bottom of your Kick, I found this at the Evolve website: "Note: The base of the Kick module is a heat synch. You may notice some warmth on the body of your devices with heavy use. This warmth is normal." Maybe the oring is ok. Happy...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    I couldn't fit anything behind the bottle on the 2.0, so I put the felt behind the bottle on the xl just to play it safe. The issue I have with the xl bottles is they lose thier flexability and develop creases on the sides, making them less able to force the juice.

    I have a piece of felt behind the bottle to make a stiffer squeeze on the bottle. I heard of using velcro but it was too thick. The felt is pefect.

    OK, I'll do that, I'd be hating it if the spring lost connection after wearing in a bit.

    OK, I see it. I'll take your advice Chad and take the unit to the hardware store to get a rubber oring. Yah, it's a great idea, too bad the aluminum was warming up. I may sucure the copper later, in fact i imagine I'll need to at some point, but it's fitting really well for now. It's deffinately...

    Hey Chadster, is the oring used to stablize the kick? help it sit in there more secure? I didn't get to see your pic.

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    OK, Got it goin, WOW, I see why they call it the Kick! I have it set to about 8.5 watts with a 2.0 atty and there's a huge difference in TH, heat, vapor, and flavor! I just used one piece, cut it to length and slid it in. It's resting along the wire and is bumped up over the bottom part of the...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    Congrats! I'm working on mine, and I'm really glad you gave a description of what you did. I find fiddly work like this a little tricky sometimes, and I need to ask...so you're using 3 pieces, and you're not using the sticky side, in other words you're not sticking the copper to the xl with the...

    Yes indeed, the Vmod is getting a thorough washing, inside and out, tonight so it will be nice and dry by morning. I'll look forward to comparing notes. I can't wait to play with the performance change and work on fine tuning. I have a brand new 2.0 ShiFu atty ready to go; I just have to decide...

    Thanks for the feedback guys. TB, I couldn't resist the deal on Ebay, and there is the "wanna get it goin" factor, so I went for it; 50 pieces is a lot, maybe a lifetime supply. :) I'm still cracking up at Chester's video!! I'll be sharing that one, it's hilarious! Good to know I can use my 2.0...

    Hi folks, I'm glad this topic is up, I'm getting ready to kick my VmodXL; should have the kick in a day or two, so the search is on for copper tape. I found some at Home Depot which is "copper tape for snail and slug barrier". It's conductive so I think It'll work. Anybody try this stuff yet...

    Help! I'm a WET VAPER!

    I'm so sorry, I have "T2"'s, which I got form altsmoke...so......never mind...sorry about that. My T2's work great and always have, aside from the atty loosening up sometimes; hence the prior advice. :)

    Tired of burning thumbs and I want a new PV

    You could probably get a Vmax fopr a good price these days. I got one about 4 months ago and it's works great with no problems what so ever; and the price has dropped on them since the Zmax came out. I too have a twist and have never had heat on the button. I actually have 2 twists and one...

    Help! I'm a WET VAPER!

    Hello pdib, and welcome to ECF! I have a couple of V2's, it sounds like the atty is loose inside the tank, and/or the tank is full, this could be a leaky combinaiton with a V2. Take the tip off, and tighten up the replaceable atty on the inside, just finger tight, don't over tighten. Wipe...
