Bolt? What are your opinions?

[fudgeball]

Hi there,

I was wondering what are your thoughts of the Smoktech Bolt? Thought of getting a cheap mod for school as I'm afraid of scratching up my Provari (tend to head to the gym straight after uni)

TIA!

Decent inexpensive mod, will take a Kick. If you don't want to Kick it you can go even cheaper with the $20 plastic version. Another choice is this one from Mountain Vapor, $15 for a 18350 version and $17 for the 18650 version

I've heard that the bolt is okay value for the money. I was going to pick it up and put a kick in it, but went with the silver bullet instead.

The only negative thing I've heard about the bolt is that it has "thin" or cheap wires that could fail. Might want to do a bit of research on that issue.

Thanks for the advise!

The Bolt is great.. I have 2 of them.. the Chrome one is the best because it has a metal button. Can get it for 29.95 from Surevapes w/ free shipping.

It reminds me of the whale probe in star trek IV: The Voyage Home

I like my Bolt very much, solid no fuss device... a great deal for the money, you won't be disappointed!

Very cool I don't see how anyone would be unhappy with that deal. I think I'll buy one just for the heck of it. I don't need another APV but that would make a great backup to my backups. If I like it I'll spread the word.

I love my Bolt, but if you're using a ProVari as your main vape, wouldn't you be better off getting something with VV as your back up? Maybe a twist or a VV kgo? If you're set on a tube mod, the Bolt is great value and looks great with carto tanks attached.

i like my bolt, so far no complaints....however i'm not sure which one i have...hopefully it's not the one with crappy wires since i never took it apart...may purchase another one to guarantee myself that i have the newest one with the better wires

I just ordered a bolt the other day, but I probably would've gone with one of thee if I had known about them! what a beautiful mod, at such a great price! It looks bulletproof, too...

I'll have to pick one of these up soon...

Madvapes carries the same switch and lists them as 5a @ 12v.

My question is how do you plan to run 4-5 amps with a bolt?

I was leaning toward the Bolt and sent an e-mail with a question about the Bolt Sunday and hadn't received an answer 3 days later. After looking at the Mountain Vapor 18650 yesterday I sent an e-mail @8:39PM with a question, and received a reply @8:52PM, guess who got my business?

I'm looking forward to receiving this, hopefully Saturday, realistically Monday, and putting this through a zesty vape session. BTW I was pretty much sold by the sturdy looking construction of the unit, the fast reply cinched the deal.

I've got plenty of mods, but none get as much use as my Bolt. It's the perfect size for me, feels great in the hand, my guess is you'll love it.

Mine just died after a couple months.
Hit the button and instead of vaping, the button started smoking.

Now , dead.

Sorry... you guessed wrong I ordered the Mountain Vapor 18650, it's ~31mm longer than the Bolt Chrome.

I saw that mod - but the connector extends out of the top - makes it awkward for tanks or rebuildables, I suspect?
