Boge Revolution V2 Bottom Feed

[Technobob]

Now that I've been using this for a month I'm not impressed it's a piece of junk. I have found more flaws in it's design first the bottle does not function very well when it reaches half empty it takes a longer and harder squeeze causing the case to pop open. It also leaks at the atty connection not a lot but enough to bug me. Now I have no choice I have to replace the battery it died today it still works plugged in but zero power unplugged I'm so glad I did not pay for this I'd be fuming mad it's only 6 weeks old my Indulgence is 1 1/2 years old and still going strong. I love the bottom juice feed so much that I'm now looking to buy a better model, so if someone has a good recommendation thats not insanely priced basically under $100.

Ended up getting the V2.1 Hope it works good, i'm pretty sure it will work my xl-lr ego attys? Did anyone find a place to order some extra bottles? read up a few places and i guess the bat is the only dif

Cheers,
Justin.

I had a leak up top but ended up being the cap around the needle on the bottle. the seam split. I just glued it and been fine since. my biggest complaints are battery life and the bottle cover falling off the bottom. I made a post on alternative bottles in this thread.

you need 510 atty's, ego stuff won't screw on. I use lr cartos mostly. lr atty's too. I kinda prefer cartos.

I finally took my rev2 apart last night and now I understand about the crappy battery life. I have a 500mah battery in mine. what crap. I use mine almost exclusively as a pt at work.

My Rev2 is dead the battery was fine it was the circuit board it won't pull power from the battery or send recharge power to it. I have a few parts kicking around I think I can rebuild it.

mine still works good. I love the juice feeder. some day I will hack the spare carto tube out and measure what space I have to put a bigger lipo in, then this thing will kick. I really like mine. I like filling it up and I am good for a few days. fill it up and change a carto..., sometimes don't even change the carto hehe.

I guess I won't be buying one of these. It's really a shame because I was looking for a bottom feeder that was easy to charge (USB) so I wouldn't have to worry about batteries/chargers. It seemed too good to be true and I guess it is...

well the first version was a 500 mah, like what I got, then the main ones had a 750 mah and now they put dual 750's (or 700's). I'd have been happier with 700. I doubt you'd find one with a weenie battery like mine unless you bought it privately like I did. shoulda used a vendor

I received delivery yesterday...V2.1. JUNK !!!!Now I know why reos cost 140.00 and why they sell. They must work as advertised judging by the posts. Lesson learned

my biggest worry on the v2.1 is the batteries are in parallel. I have not heard anything about the charging system built in having a balancer so after time these batteries will become unbalanced and could cause problems. to me it was just them finding an inexpensive way of upgrading the capacity while using up what they had in stock.. that is tacky to me...

Yep, the Reo is definitely worth every penny! It's been nearly 2 months since I've been a Reonaut, from the Woddvil to the Mini to the Grand (two of were given a good home by Chinner ). They are built like tanks, always fire, the juice always travels up to the atty without issue, and paired with a 1600mAh AW IMR 18650 battery it lasts almost 2 days of heavy vaping. Of course the only downside compared to the Revolution V2 is that it can't be used as a passthrough, but that's why I have an eGo passthrough and drip at my desk

I managed to incapacitate my boge tonight. the seam on the cap started to leak a bit and it's been 20ml plus since I last cleaned the thing. I saw once open juice spilled around so I wiped up the inside, then pulled the positive lead off the front button's pc board. I turfed my last pencil out. all I have is my gun. the hole doesn't go all the way through either dammit. I heated it and pushed a stripped tie wrap through and it stops. I am going to use a tiny drill bit and go right through the pc board so I can solder. it's too hard running solder down a wire with a gun and tweezers... stupid thing.

anyone good at soldering? I have my tanks and reo mini so not too bad, and the grand is coming. I was going to give this thing away when my grand came but now...
