Hi All,
I have been a vapor for three years and four months, all of them with V4L. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a “Fan Boy”. I’ve tried a few other juices from friends and family but nothing meets the V4L juice or carts. I primarily use coffee or cappuccino, occasionally grape, all in 36mg strength.
At first I thought that the dial-a-volt was not for me, I’m not a mod guy and I loved my trusty Titians. I got my 900mah Auto Dial-A-Volt in Saturday’s mail and after ripping everything open I thought whoa! This thing is really fat. Surprisingly it fit well in my hand and felt good. I popped on a fresh WOW cart and couldn’t wait to give it a try. I could go through all the numbers but I’m sure you’ve read all of that here before. I found my sweet spot quickly at about 4.0, just before the 4.2 mark. The taste was the best I’ve had and vapor was unbelievable. I did try the highest setting and the vapor almost clouded the room but I couldn’t handle the throat hit. If that’s what you like, this is for you. The only other thing I could say is that this is the best ,so far, that V4L has produced. If you’re looking for the best vape you’ve had, then give this a try, its well worth it.
If there is a negative it’s the charging time. If you run it down it takes forever to charge. With a full charge this thing lasted me a full 11 hours on the first day of use. But I’ll tell you when it’s done, it’s done. No warning, bang no vapor nothing. I put it on the charger and after another 11 hours I still had a blinking red light. I thought this isn’t right so I tried the other two chargers I have, still red lights. I immediately went to the trusty V4L forum to find an answer. Well, someone posted that if your batt. doesn’t seem to charge you should unplug the charger and turn it around the opposite way. Well, that sounds crazy. What difference could that make? I turned the charger around, screwed in the Dial-A-Volt and boom got a green light. I then put in another charger and got a red light. What? This is nuts. I turned the other two chargers around and got a green light on all. I can’t understand it and if anybody can explain it I would appreciate it.
I’ve read some stuff about the new Zeus and can’t wait to try it. The fact of being able to use it as a pass thru while it’s charging really intrigues me. I mostly use a pass thru at home and I could just take to the car and at the same time have a fully charged battery when I need it. There have been a lot better reviews but this is my experience with the Auto Dial-A-volt and I hope it helps you.

Glad you are enjoying it Sal! I love mine too! I can't explain the charger thing, that does sound strange. I would say that it wasn't fully charged though. I have heard of them taking upwards of 12 hours to charge. I just charge mine overnight and it's green when I wake up, so I haven't been able to accurately time it.

Another plus about the Zeus (from what I've seen in reviews) is that it only takes 3-4 hours to charge!! Which it awesome! The only downside for you is that it is a straight 5v. So if your sweet spot is 4v then it may be too much for you. If you have any juice/carto combination you like on a PT the that would be the best thing to use on the Zeus, seeing as the PT is 5v. Personally I prefer to use Cool cartos on my PT and Wow cartos on my batts.

Hey Sal, does your auto DAV have a cutoff? If so, what is it? Just got mine and am really disappointed because it cuts off in under 5 seconds:( Not sure if everybody has this and have put in a support ticket to CS, as this doesn't seem right.

My autos cut off at right around 5 seconds, so this is consistent with what you're seeing. This isn't an issue for me, as my longest draw is about 3 secs.

MsOceancity,
I've had m DAV for over a week and I've yet to reach the cut off in my normal vaping rutine. If I try I get about 10 to 11 seconds out of it. I like the fact that I can take it out for the day of evening without needing n extra battery. I can't wait for the Zeus to come out and have a PT and a fully charged battery all the time. It will be perfect for my use. If I ever get one, that is. Thank you V4L for great products.
