    News about the New Apollo Stainless steel vtube

    Well, the lamp was brass......But why would copper be bad other than the fact you would have to maintain it.

    News about the New Apollo Stainless steel vtube

    I agree completely. My mom had an old lamp that would look like crap but she would clean/polish it and it would look like new again. I had zero interest in the copper tube. But I may have an interest if it were sold as just plain ole copper. I think that's what folks like about the Stainless...

    Apollo Stainless Steel vTube Review!

    I believe that is what I am running in my mini right now. I bought mine from Super T Manufacturing. If thats the ones you are referring to then yes, they work great.

    Bad batch of Smoktech LR 1.7 ohm and XL LR 1.7 ohm going around...

    I'm sure you did but wanted to ask/make sure anyway. You did/are letting them sit for a while before trying them right? I push Boge as if I had stock in the company, But I'm not going to say they are all perfect. I have had several bum/burnt (non snap-crakle-pop) Boge cartos. I truly dont...

    You are correct about both. +1 to that....I totally forgot about that big spring. I remembered to remove the battery, but the spring.....Duh. Top caps are more than likely the only thing that got mixed up.

    Orion V2 roll call

    Maybe? To be honest I really like the ease of use with the Mesh and I'm kinda scared of the FG wick with some of the reports flying around here. I think Im gonna stick with the ss wick/coil setup BUT in all fairness, the wife got hooked on DeKang Desert Ship juice, I bought a TON, well like...

    My Top is Stainless Steel dang it.:D Now I have to send it back because the threads are not machined correctly. My button fires good. I'm worried sick I'm going to get a replacement with a wrong cap, or a button that you have to press hard like some folks are saying. Oh, and that 1999 Kia I...

    Orion V2 roll call

    Ive thought of doing the exact same thing for another reason though. I like the taste of the vaped Liquid, however I get a LOT of taste from the juice in the tank if that makes since. It is a different kinda strong taste that I do not like at all. I wanted to plug up that hole a little and see...

    Apollo Stainless Steel vTube Review!

    Both style batteries do in fact fit the device. However, AW said they never made a "flat top". Beware if you have an "AW" that is a flat top.

    My bottom cap was also VERY highly magnetic indicating it was some other grade of steel. Maybe SS, but surely a different grade.

    News about the New Apollo Stainless steel vtube

    Stainless is made from several materials. Generally the higher the nickel content the less magnetic. The more chromium in the steel used, the more magnetic. This SS VTube does not appear to be any more or less magnetic than my other more expensive devices that I know are made from quality...

    News about the New Apollo Stainless steel vtube

    I am glad this issue was address before the next batch went out to the waiting folks. My device does have the SS Top cap but my threads are not right and I'm gonna need a replacement anyway. Maybe that's the reason they started gluing em on, so folks would not investigate??? Apollo, could you...

    Lavatube misfire problem getting worse!

    You could try some "canned air" like used in an office. That would help assuming the problem really could be fixed by blowing it out. If its not that, then I would address it under warranty while you have a warranty. It sucks I know, but its better then having a device you can only admire...;)

    News about the New Apollo Stainless steel vtube

    My take as well. It bothered me at first, then though the same thing you did. I have some regular ole batteries that I always have to tweak the center pin to make the stardust fire, some fire fine. Others have Fazed fitted several eGo style cartos that worked great. Stardust will probably be...

    +1 to that. I'm not even sure how I ran into this really. Never ordered from Apollo before this SS VTube.

    News about the New Apollo Stainless steel vtube

    orachel I just got off a chat with Apollo and could sense the tension from all the stress they are feeling. Not saying anything bad, just that this has been very hard for them as many many people are asking questions, PM'ing, Chatting, etc and I think they wish now they hada never brought this...

    Also, KeysBum. Did that only get you a tighter draw? That did not aid in fitting a Vision eGo carto right? I just got off a chat with Apollo and the rep said they would honor my threading problem. Shout out to Apollo, THANK YOU I was accused of messing the threads up, and I assured them they...

    I'll bet you a new car its not ;) I promise, the top cap (unless its 3mm thick plating) is Solid Stainless Steel with the exception of the threads and yes I suppose those could be copper, I said brass in an earlier post but really copper makes more sense. Damnit KeysBum, Hush. I positive...
