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

    First off - Gobbler - thanks for those tips! Among other things, releasing the bottle too fast has, I'm sure, been the cause for most of the dry hits I've been experiencing. From watching numerous videos of people using the VMod, it seemed like it was a fast squeeze/release. I have been...

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

    Thanks for the tips, Katdarling. Gives me hope that it's not just me, :) When you say you go at it with a toothpick ... umm ... where are you poking and prodding? I assume from where the bottle screws in and up and that area? Anyway, for tonight, I'm back to the Ego twist and a 306. Just need a...

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

    Well I made a rather interesting but disturbing discovery tonight. I have no idea why it is happening but sure goes a long way towards explaining the never-ending dry hits problem. I washed the mod in hot water with a couple of drops of soap. Filled an empty bottle with hot water and squirted...

    I've got the older atty - the hybrid 2.0 one - not the slanted coil one. I've been to Vapage's website as I was going to buy some of the new ones but looks like they only have the 2.5 ohm ones in stock right now and really don't want those - will wait until the 1.5's or 2.0's come back into...

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

    I'm thinking that you could be right on the mark with this, Chadster. Even as a newbie ... the process is dead easy! Tilt, squeeze, vape!! I just don't understand how I could be getting so many dry hits unless, for some reason, the juice isn't reaching the atty properly. Even went so far as to...

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

    No leakage at all inside around the bottle. When I screw the atty out, there is quite a bit of juice up the shaft of it though ... just seems very strange that I can hear juice entering the chamber when I squeeze but still seem to get too many dry hits. Also I can often tip it and no bubbles...

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

    I'm using the 2.0 ohm hybrid atty that came with the kit and the juice is a 50/50 blend. And actually I have been getting quite suspicious about the juice. I've noticed in the past that this juice has a tendency to create 'bubble locks' but, as it's so damn tasty and I was using an Ego with...

    Now if you make up a leather cover, you've got to take a picture and show! That sounds like an awesome idea! I would sure buy one!! (hint, hint). Hey ... maybe you're on to something here! Sell a few of those each month and you'd be vaping for free and then some. :D Still having some issues...

    Thanks for that info Muzichead. I've read a lot of good things about the Ciscos so ... maybe it's time to get my hands on one or two. Was going to by the Hybrid from Vapage but notice it looks like they only have the 2.5 ohm ones in stock and really wanted to get my hands on some 1.5's. That's...

    Well, I've decided to take the risk of sounding like a complete and utter doofus .......... because ... well ... if I don't ask, I'll never know! For all of you 306 users ... I don't know if they are all the same size but I have some IKV 306's that I would love to use with this fine vaping...

    First of all ... a huge THANKS to all who have chipped in with your suggestions. Every one of you has added to my learning experience. Chadster - Thanks to your suggestions (taking the rubber o-ring off and the tilt/squeeze routine), things have improved immensely!! Almost no dry hits, great...

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

    Wow ... when I manage to do everything right, this is so unbeatable for flavor!! Sadly, I only seem to hit it right about 15% of the time! I don't know what the blazes I'm doing wrong. :mad: I mean ... how simple can it be, right? But, for some reason, even though when I squeeze I can 'hear' a...

    Thanks, chadster ... I'll check out your post but, oddly enough, either I'm getting used to the draw or it has somehow tightened up on it's own because I'm finding it to be almost perfect now. I have to admit that I kind of fought with this baby last night trying to get the hang of it and I'm...

    Oh yeah!! I rescued my VMod from the post office box today!! Have the bottle filled up, didn't know if the battery needed to be charged but thought I would give it a whirl to see and it is working! I put the atty in the came with it and now have a question for you good folks. I added about 3...

    Thanks for sharing your first impressions, BigMac! I hadn't read (or at least can't remember reading) about the light draw and I like a tight draw myself so good to be forewarned. Also good to hear a real fresh newbie rave about it! :D Sure looking forward to getting my out of jail ... :(

    OMG!!! And no ... that isn't the sound of a newbie XLVodder taking her first vapes. That is, unfortunately, the not-exactly-accurate expression I used when I found out that the mail lady not only did NOT solve the 'can't get into the mailbox problem' but she didn't leave one damn thing in my...

    HI Big Mac - I'm another soon-to-be-VModder. I, too, scoured this thread, this forum, YouTube reviews, etc. looking for the inevitable "well, this worked great for a couple of months and then ..." Never did find those comments! :D Been using the Ego Twist for a number of months now and a whole...

    Sure did! I signed up for their newsletter so got that tidbit of info in my Inbox. ;) Can hardly wait until it gets here now. Just hope it doesn't take me long to get the hang of the squonking thing, lol. Now if I could just find a couple of juices that ... seems like everything I have right now...

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

    Today was finally the day! I've been eyeballing this mod for months now, lurking this thread, etc. Had a few extra bucks this month so finally hit that 'checkout' button. Ordered a couple of extra batteries and bottles as well. Am so looking forward to having the dripping experience without the...
