A few Vmod XL questions

[arewethereyet]

I am very unhappy with the customer service from vapage.com. I'm hoping I can buy supplies for my Vmod elsewhere.

1. Are there any places I can buy the 9ml plastic bottles besides vapage? I hear they are proprietary.

2. I just started vaping and I've been using the vapage hybrid bottom feed 1.5ohm attys exclusively. I bought a 510 atty from Backwoods Brew but it's longer and has a tiny hole where my drip tip would normally go on the vapage atty. What kind of atty is that?

3. If I can use other attys (there are so many different ones), which ones exactly? Any vendor recommendations?

4. I reused an atty for a different flavor juice and could taste the previous juice for quite awhile. Is that typical? Can I clean the atty and will it harm the atty?

5. I bought the O-ring kit from Vapage just in case. Where does the smaller O-ring go?

6. Has anyone needed to change out the little gaskets that come with the plastic bottles?

7. One of the attys I recd from vapage died on me. I used it for only a few drags with their Cappucino e-liquid - which was awful IMHO, so I changed out attys and liquid. I later went back to that original atty to try it with another flavor and it was dead. Vapage has a 14 day exchange policy and I contacted them 10 days after receiving the product, but apparently missed their exchange window by 5 days since their clock starts from the order date, not the date I received the product. Is there any way to revive the atty? I get no vapor from it at all.....appears dead.

Can anyone help with any of my questions? You don't have to know them all.

I am going to move this to Liquid Feed APV Discussion and see if we can get you some answers there.

I'll see if I can answer some of your questions.

1.I know of no bottle stocking place that sells bottles with that threading. Some have tried other bottles, but it is a bit tricky and certainly not recommended. Clouds of Vapor is one company that also sells the Vmod and some of the extras -- you could try there.

2. You need to remove the cover on that atty. It looks like you have one of those brown plastic covers -- that are usually on 306 atty's. This atty works find on the Vmod as the threading is the same as 510, but you will need a tall 306 (thin) drip.

3. Almost any 510 threaded atty or carto will work on the Vmod2 and VmodXL. JoyE has been a reliable and cheaper brand for a long time. Other popular companies are Ikenvape and Avid.

4. Yes to both questions. Vape the Rockies has a purge liquid that some use when needing to rinse out a flavor that is very annoying. A few minutes in a vodka (or eveclear) bath is often used for cleaning.

5.

This should help. It's always good to have back-ups of small gear like this. Good job on getting them.

6. Hmm. Maybe that's a new feature? Some have added an o ring below the threads---maybe that's it?

Thanks for the help!

1. Ok Thanks! No bottles but they do have the attys.

2. Silly me! I didn't realize it had 2 parts. I guess the part with the small hole is a drip tip? And it's actually black in color with silver threads.

3. Any recommendations on where to buy the JoyE attys? All the different vendor choices is a bit overwhelming. And I noticed some are LR 501 attys. Do I want those?

4. I will try the vodka route. So it doesn't harm the atty huh?

5. I saw that O-ring but it appears bigger than the replacement in the kit. I could be wrong though. Probably am.

6. That gasket is in the Vmod itself. They included an extra in the empty 2-pack bottle set I ordered. It goes in between the bottle and the chassis where it screws in. I guess I will replace it if I ever develop a leak there.

7. Basically asking if there's any way to revive an apparently dead atty?

Edit: Tested that atty with my VM and it is indeed dead.

Thanks again for all your help!!!

For the Vmod XL, do I need to put the little clear silicone gasket that comes with the Vapage Hybrid atty on the 510 atty? The gasket goes over the threads and sits at the base of the threads on the atty.

 

[tearose50]

No. Take it off. In future orders, they won't be installed. They are sometimes used with other apvs.

 

[arewethereyet]

Ok thanks! So take it off the Vapage attys as well?

 

[tearose50]

Yes. It was needed on the first vmod version---not now, for sure.

 

[arewethereyet]

OK cool, one less thing to wear out and replace.
