First, if you've seen my other thread, it's clear that I'm a newb to e-cigs in general, an e-pipes in particular. That should be stated as I give my opinions, and I do seek any advice from others.
First, I must give credit to Aqua Vapor, and their lightning fast shipping. I ordered the pipe on the 16th, they shipped on the 17th, and it made if from NC to my country post office in time to be delivered today.
The pipe is fairly well packaged in the box, and the instructions were almost laughably translated Chinese to English. Given that this is the first e-smoke product that I've actually received with instructions, they were clear enough to understand. Everything within the box was packaged well and arrived intact.
While charging the batteries, I went to task learning how to fill the tank and blank cartomizers. It would have been much more helpful had AV put in their instructions to remove the rubber stopper inside of the cartomizer to prime it. Once I figured that out, piece of cake.
The pipe functions by drawing, not by any mechanical function. Honestly, I think I would have preferred some sort of switch. I thought that it would produce more vapor than it does, and frankly, many draws have been somewhat disappointing compared to my cheap ... back up e-cig. If I give a quick puff and then pull on it, it seems to be a little better. Not terrible, but not quite what I was expecting.
So, overall, I suppose that it isn't bad for a beginner's pipe. It was much easier to justify purchasing this as a newb, than one of the much more expensive types, such as an EPM. I will be looking to learn if there are ways that I might improve this pipe, in order to get a better smoke. If anyone has any tips, tricks, or advice, I openly welcome them.
ETA: The pipe has an LED inside the bowl, that according to instructions, is supposed to light up when smoking. This has not been the case. It's flashed green when I attach the battery, but other than the very first puff, it has not lit up. It doesn't really bother me; I could care less whether there is a gimmicky light to make it look like a real pipe.
Regarding flavors: The only thing that I'd tried prior was menthol, and I thought that I'd give some tobacco flavors a shot. The Black Tobacco isn't very good at all, in my first opinion. I did mix almost 50/50 cherry in with it, and it has a better flavor now. Butterscotch tastes more like buttered popcorn than butterscotch. I'll let them steep, and see what I think. But, it seems that I'll probably stick with less tobacco flavors in the future.

Im looking to get my first pipe and this might work for me since I can recoil the heads to lower ohms.
