i really do, the new version is amazing to me, looks good, comes fully apart, the button rocks, menu isnt that difficult, not the easiest but not hard, it is verstaile and feels great and for the money its untouchable
Got my Black V1 Yesterday.
After charging the battery, I began to play with it a bit.
1) this thing is solid! The threading is just right and doesn't want to come apart on it's own, it has a solid..quality feel to it.
2) Display is clear, bright and easy for these old eyes to read
3) I'm loving VW mode and being able to change between different resistance devices while maintaining the same quality vape
4) Menu is easy to figure out and easy to navigate
5) It fits my T3's, EVOD's and Phoenix CE3's perfectly. I can even use my ego cone with my CE3 making for a nice finished look.
6) It makes my T3's slightly less airy
7) flat top 18650 battery fits great, strong spring makes sure there are no rattles.
8) Balance is just right, it feels good in the hand. Substantial, but not heavy.
9) Quality of vape is excellent!
Agreed
Time to nit-pick....
1) I'm left handed and the screen orientation is better for a right hand orientation. A V2 might be better for lefties
True
2) A couple of times it stopped working for some reason. Pulling the battery for a moment fixed it. Very intermittent and I will monitor to see if it is a real problem.
Same problem as with the V1.0.
3) I wish it didn't constantly cycle between "Anyvape" and the display setting...I KNOW it's an Anyvape.
Agreed
4) Finish while excellent is a tad slippery and not the gripy coating I'm used to with my Spinner. I'll quickly get used to that.
I found that after awhile it gets sticky from hand moisture(V1.0). I was hoping these new ones had a bit more texture.
Bottom line: I really like this thing
I don't think the spring is the issue. It's a tight fit and if I try shaking it there's no rattle. I'll wipe the spring and battery connection with some isopropyl alcohol to see if that helps. Maybe there's some oxidation or something. It's only happened a couple of times, so I'm not too concerned unless it happens more frequently.@Harplayr - Try playing with the spring. Sometimes they don't have a good contact and that causes an intermittent issue.
I received two V1s today. A blue and a red. The blue one has a cockeyed display but it vapes very nice. My only usability issue so far was the 510 connector on the blue one wasn't machined as well as the red one. I had to work it to get it make connection with my tanks and I have to screw them on tight to get the connection. The red one's 510 connection is much better. A T3 worked no problem but my T2 will not make a connection. It looks like the center pin in the 510 connector is deeper than most other devices. Other than that the blue one is vaping well. The red one was put away after testing it quickly to make sure it worked. Got the 18350 tubes with both also, so I can use them with 1X18650, 1X18350 or 2X18350. I like the lighter weight than the Vamo and the overall fit and finish is decent.
The black is dark with a slight satiny finish (not too shiny). I think it looks really good.Thanks for the report.
Is the black dark or is it somewhat washed out?

Same as with the V1.0. My unit doesn't rattle when shaken so I figured the spring was OK. Might have to try that if it happens again. Hasn't happened recently though.

Found the same issue on the V1.0 with my T3's. Needed to raise the T3 post on a couple.

I also got the short tube, but am waiting on 18350 batteries to test it out. "Stubby Mode" should be great for pocketability.
ThanksWhat I meant was to grasp the spring and turn it in the cap about 1/4 of a turn. Sometimes that will cure the issue you are having. Others I know had a similar issue and turning the spring slightly solved the issue for them.
Thanks for the report.
Considering your post and Harplayr's, looks like they really didn't address the known issues with the V1.![]()
Don't get me wrong, I like the CVI but okay,sure they did, not everyone is having that issue so lets not say things we dont know especiaslly if you dont have the new unit, we do, the differences between the first one and the new one is night and day.
On mine everything fits nice and snug like it should. The battery does not rattle no matter how hard I shake it and the threads are just about perfect and won't loosen by itself. My T3's also fit better and don't have the slight wobble like I had on other PV's.sure i can ask them to check and see what changes can be made, they are very open to that, that was something as well i would like to see, to speed the pause up form anyvape to setting, i will mention that to them, and you can all give us constructive feedback as to what you would like me to mention to them to add as improvements and such in future runs. did you say you were getting rattling?? because i tried many batts and both tube sizes on many of them and i dont get any rattling no matter how hard i try.
Man I really want the all black v2 with the black button ring... But alas since I am not working and in school my budget is way too skimpy right now. Other than the minor goofy things with the menu these things just keep sounding better and better....
