It has been quite a while since my last review. So I will go over how I do reviews. I use the device for a minimum of 2 weeks using no other devices. I am a heavy vaper and a former 3.5 pack a day analog smoker. I have been vaping for over a year now.
The Purchase:
I bought my VP1 from another ECF Member by the name of Loki. (Thank you again Loki) It had only been used for approximately 2 hours by him so I received a very lightly used VP1. I did check with the two sites vaprlife.com(The manufacture’s site) and dietsmokes.com (Retailer) I sent messages inquiring about the VP1 as I was looking to buy one from one of the sites at the time. Vapelife responded to my messages but I had already found one that was lightly used from Loki so did not buy one from them. I would have used them though. Dietsmokes did not respond to any of my messages at all. I have yet to hear anything out of them at all. Which I find to be completely inexcusable and this is not the first time I have had a non response problem with them. Therefore, I have been forced to put dietsmokes.com in my list of unreliable/unprofessional suppliers. If you are planning on purchasing a VP1 (or VP2) I would suggest going to vaprlife.com
The Device:
Its exact measurements are 13mm wide 91mm long including the 801 fitting 85.5mm not including the fitting. The switch is 26.5mm from the top (not including the connector). It is manufactured here in the US. The quality of the machining of this device is impressive. The finishing is very precise and the knurling on the battery cap is probably one of the most perfect jobs I have ever seen. This device is obviously manufactured with great care and precision. (The pictures really do not do this device justice. You have to see it in person to really appreciate it.)
This device is in the Commercial Mod class but is so professionally made and designed that I would put it in the Commercial class of devices
Weight and balance:
It only weighs about 1.25 oz by itself and it’s balance point changes very little when adapting. It is 5mm from the button (towards the battery end) with a 801 atomizer and about 7mm with a 510 adapted and attached. So it does not seem heavy at all when holding it in your hand. When holding it in you mouth you do notice the that it’s weight a lot and I would not suggest hanging this device out of you mouth for too long.
The battery:
The 10440 batteries at well at 360mah and if you can track them down the 500mah batteries are even better. (I got mine from madvapes.com ) I do not used time as a factor as everyone vaping habits are different but I used to go through 5 batteries a day with my 510 and now I only go through 2 10440 batteries a day. The charge time is only 2 hours with the supplied charger.
Device features:
One of the most notable features of this device is the fact that you can turn off the LED by turning around the battery. It has a wide verity of adaptors available to this device will use almost every available atomizer type on the market. The other nice thing I noticed is that this device has a nice light draw due the vent holes drilled in the side of both the center post and outer threads of the 801 socket on the device itself. On the note of ventilation I also want to add that this device has excellent and proper ventilation in case of catastrophic battery failure (battery explosion). The holes for the LED act as the ventilation, venting the gasses to the sides and away from the user. (I also want to note that it is highly unlikely that any 10440 would fail in this manner.) There is also a flashlight adaptor (That I have yet to get but really want.) available from vaprlife that I find to be a really cool and useful idea.
Atomizer recommendations:
I prefer the 801 atomizer for general use. It functions great all the way to the low battery cut off. The 510 is great too but having to change carts all the time is a slight pain now that I do not have to carry around a PCC but I still use it when I want that 510 bite. The 302 atomizer is nice because of the light draw but it seems to drop off in performance when the battery starts to get low.
Recommendations to the manufacture: (Issues I have found)
The protected 10440 is 46mm and the non protected is 44mm long the protected battery barely fits in this device. It would be a good idea to round or curl the end of the spring to prevent binding and scratching of the protected batteries. (or making the battery compartment 0.5mm longer on the inside) Also maybe a smaller LED as the ones currently in the device is VERY bright and also consumes more power than necessary. The button sticks occasionally but not for very long and far less often than a 510 manual battery so I really don’t see this as much of an issue at all. The other issue is that when using a very worn atomizer in stealth (no LED) mode the atomizers do not perform as well. I have found this is caused by the reverse polarity (from the battery being turned around) causing the atomizer coil to begin to heat from a different end. I am unsure what can be done about this but it would be a nice addition to the stealth feature.
Summery:
Would I recommend this device?
Yes, it is a great device for anyone who is serious about vaping and wants a small light device with a great battery life and flexibility.
That is great! Now where can I get one?
I would suggest going directly to the manufacturer. vaprlife.com You can get great customer service and even get custom options (Like a custom LED) if you send them a really nice email.
As I stated before I would not suggest going to dietsmokes because of customer service issues. Besides that I also like doing business with the company that made the device directly. That is one of the benefits of getting a US made device after all.
What atomizer do I want?
In order of best to worse in my opinion: 801, 510, 302, 901, cartomizer if you into that kind of thing (I am not.)
