Just put in a new coil a few minutes ago, no issues in removal or install of the new coil. Primed the wick/coil and reassembled after a good cleaning of course. Added 10 drops via an eyedropper of the custom blended Cherry Pipe Tabacco that really tastes great with this setup (does on others as well, but really does on this one it seems). Let it sit for a minute, checked for leaks, found none at all. Hit it a few times, checked for leaks, still nothing then added 5 more drops. Hit it a few times, again checked for leaks and found none so I added 5 more drops and let it sit. Last time, checked for leaks and found none and finally added 5 more drops and started using it. I still have no leaks, still have a ton of vapor and awesome taste coming from mine. No leaking issues, coil change over was not difficult at all and the factory coil I just added was coming in around 1.8ohms so I have it on a standard eGo-C 650mah battery right now, still hitting like a champ with no leaking at all. No it is not a warm vape at all, bit on the cool side, the flavor and vapor are really good though.
I am interested to see how it does with a custom coil now. I still think the coil section of this unit needs to be revisited. It is delicate to say the least and just does not hold the 1ml it claims to do, but it is still working fine for me at this point. Design issues, yes there are some and it should have went through Alpha program. I am still not upset at GV for putting it out as it was, they trusted Vision to put out the product they promised, erring on the side of we can trust this company. Not many places, actually any, that I know of even have an alpha program setup, they thought they were safe with this one and were apparently wrong. Again I still think in the end this will be made right and I would expect GV to continue to support those of you that are not 100% happy with your purchase. I do NOT think this is a total fail, considering one piece just has to be fixed to make it right. The tank setup seems to be working for a lot of people, so that is good. It looks and fits wonderfully, so that is good. We have issues with the setup of the heating section only, so lets give them a chance to do something people.
Yes I understand your frustration and even your anger with this unit due to past issues with other units. Getting into a pissing contest here is not going to do any good, be constructive and try to get your point across that this should not have been done this way when they have a great program in place to keep such things from happening. GV has done nothing but be good to me personally, they have responded and been very receptive to product issues I have had, even with something as small as a damn drip tip I bought from them...a drip tip, that is like complaining about an o-ring being white instead of black, yet it was treated like a $500 item and my satisfaction was the only thing they wanted. I am not going to fight back and forth, mine is working and not leaking at the moment, I just added 10 more drops and still nothing, even took it apart all the way down to the coil and no issues with overflowing. I even have it on my 1000mah eGo-C Twist now at 3.7 volts, still hitting like a champ for me...and not one leak. Sorry to drone on and on, just think we are getting a bit too upset over this right now, give them a chance to make it 100% right. I for one will not be trying to return mine, even if I start having issues, I will wait to see if Vision or GV try to remedy the problem. If not, I know better next time, new product like this without it going through the Alpha program, I will just wait for the reviews to come in first. I really think that was the only mistake GV made, not putting this through their own safety net first.
one last photo taken with my cellphone of this with a black drip tip on the eGo 650mah non-twist battery. Just thought it looked good like this as well, waiting on a 650mah twist for it right now.
Keep on vaping people.
