I hadn't noticed that today was already Wednesday. I'm hoping to receive my Apollo Tube tomorrow. (hopefully) I can't get enough of the Apollo website. I look at all the other popular e-cigarette websites and I have a lot of gripes. Some of them have great selection for cartomizers and atomizers, but unfortunately they do not list the resistance.
At Apollo, I noticed that for the 510 atomizers, they state that they are "high resistance," but they do not list what resistance this is. For the T-go atomizers, they actually list the ohm rating for they're atomizers. (They state they are 2.0-2.3ohm) Listing the ohm rating is really important to me. The Elips atomizers are listed at 2.0-2.3ohm which is nice. Its nice to know what resistance atomizer you are ordering. Unfortunately, the cartomizer section isn't listed. They do state that the cartomizers ARE 510 connections, but they don't list the ohm of each cartomizer type. I do like that they don't advertize that ONE cartomizer is equal to a pack of cigarettes. Instead, they state that one of they're cartos is actually around 1/2 a pack of cigarettes. I thought this was nice. I don't like companies that lie to you. They even go as far as stating that the cartomizers hold around 16 drops of juice and can (roughly) be refilled up to 8 times before losing vapor production or dying on you. I also noted that the price of cartomizers decreases with bulk orders, and you can get them down to $1.60/each. Nice! However, I wish that they would actually state that the Apollo Standard cartomizers are 510 cartomizers, and the Apollo Extreme cartomizers are 510 cartos. (But, again, they do not list the ohm rating for the 5pack cartomizers they sell. The ohm rating would be cool) They DO state that the (retired) mini cartos are NOT compatible with the other kits, which means they are not 510 connections. I think it'd be nice if this was also stated on the website.
Um, I noticed that as far as mod batteries on the Apollo site go, they are described well. For the 18650 batteries, they actually list that they are high drain, and 2200mAh, however I did notice they do not state whether or not they are protected circut or chemistry. For the 18350 batteries, they list that they are high drain, and 700mAh, however they do not list if they are protected or not on these either. BUT, for the standard and extreme kits, they do NOT list the mAh ratings for either of the batteries, which I think would be very useful to buyers. Mainly because, from the Youtube videos I did watch, it seems the standard 510 kit is the standard batteries, but the extreme kit has longer 510 batteries and I'm not sure of the mAh on these longer batteries, so it would be a nice addition to the site for new users. Especially if you are new to
vaping, and you are wanting to know the difference between the Apollo Standard/Extreme 510 kits, the Elips, and the Ego kits. (New users need to understand mAh ratings and how much battery life they will be getting, this is essential to picking up the right kit for your particular smoking habits) Apollo does a good job at listing what the batteries feature, but not the internals or mAh. I also REALLY like that they offer us the red/orange LED 510 batts, OR a blue LED 510 battery spare. This is really cool. I know that when I bought my 510 kit, I was only offered the red/orange LED tip, and I had actually wanted blue. Other than these minor things, the Apollo website is well put together. In fact, it is one of the neatest & most user friendly websites I've seen thus far. Customer service is the BEST out of ALL the websites I have ever visited concerning e-cigs. They actually have a chat feature with a LIVE person waiting to answer your questions. (and, the live person actually works for Apollo. I have run into websites where the "live person" is actually an outsourced company. You never get the same person twice, they dont work for the website, and they take forever to answer your questions) With the Apollo chat, you are getting an Apollo representative that knows the website. They also answer e-mails lightning fast I've noticed. I have spoken with different representatives, and Rick, whom I believe (not sure) is the, or one of the owners, and they are extremely kind hearted and they actually cared about ME above themselves and above making money off of me. Maybe I will rate the company as a whole once I receive my product, but for now, I am VERY happy with my purchase. :]
