Bolt for 25 bucks?

[Hottody]

I did it, I saw the 18500 Bolt on Sale for 25 bucks and bought it! Anyone like this mod? With free sipping and an 18500 battery I think I got a GREAT DEAL?

That's a good deal definitely..

I decided on the original though, the SB

Seems very cheap to me. Almost too cheap.
Hope you have great success with it. The bolt is very similar to my Silver Bullet, and I love my SB.

That's not an 18650 Bolt, it's an 18500.

You need a Bolt extension to fit an 18650 in there.

Cool! I did order the extension cap Underwhelmed! I've ordered many times from vaporbeast with great success! I think this may be a one day deal, but I'm happy!

Yes... if I had not had so much success ordering from vaporbeast I would be skeptical.

I'd grab one of those if I didn't already have two, one of which is the black one. I'm hoping to find a good deal like that on the gun metal one, though....

 

[invididual]

Good find! i grabbed one with an extender so i have something i can use the kick with whenever i get around to ordering one

 

[Hottody]

Yes, Individual I too bought an extender cap! That's a solid deal for sure, I'm glad you found my find helpful!

The Bolt isn't the best example but, it's a good no frills mod. I've seen a lot of people saying it won't stand up to voltage but, so far I haven't had a problem with it. That said, it's not my full time vape, I use it mostly for playing with stuff. If you get two extensions you can use an 18650 with a kick in it.

Good luck with your purchase! I bought one a few weeks back. It worked great for 2 days, then the switch went bad. When I opened it up, the positive wire had a large nick in it. 80 cent fix and its been pretty reliable. Don't forget to lube the threads, they are fairly squeaky. kev

 

[Hottody]

Thanks, Kevbro! The good news is VaporBeast is a solid company so I feel good a out the purchase. I have a joyteh 18650 and I too needed to lube the threads on that device.

For the money, I think the Bolt is a solid mod. Certainly no Silver Bullet, but I will let you know how it goes!

The Bolt is a great mod for the price. It is mass produced, made in china, and has a few weak links. But for a less than $40 tube mod, it's hard to beat. Repairs are fairly simple. I think just about anyone, no matter their previous skill level, could repair these with a soldering iron, hot glue gun, and a few YouTube how to's. A lot of people compare it to the SB, but seriously folks, it's half the price. You can't expect the same level of quality.

My next PV purchase is the Ovale V8, but shortly after that is another Bolt in Gun Metal.

Here's a thread on repairs and upgrades for the Bolt:

Thank you for sharing the link Rader. Good point about the price to value comparison! Kind of like comparing a Lava Tube to a Provari! The BOLT IN GUN METAL LOOKS AMAZING! I wonder how that finish would hold up, as it looks great in the pic below?
