I enjoyed it Adam, and I certainly don't think it was too long. I found you to be extremely thorough in your explanations and... you're so CALM! :D

(must be all that shrimp, eh?)


Loved the moment of "Before we get into that, I might have a quick vape actually." :)

(A refreshing change from the reviewers that vape for 47 minutes of a 48 minute vid...) ;)

J5, the batteries are wonderful in this device. It charges from "zero to 60" in something like 55 minutes. FAST charger! And easy peasy. What do you prefer about removables vs. the pack?

I get where he's coming from. There was once a time when I felt the same way. That was until I held this unbelievably comfortable mix between a box and tube (call it what you will, and I like it almost as much...) in my hands.

But yes, I do understand the concept.

Great review and I like the fact that there is another vaper that vapes like I do. I'm not concerned with the numbers but instead the vapor that I'm getting. Great device and the only downside for me is the battery pack. I have to be able to use batteries instead of packs. Thank you for a great review.

Yeah, the battery pack is a turn off for some. I guess with the popularity of the MVP vapers are getting more used to external charging on bigger PV's. The advantage the EPM has is that the battery pack is very easily replaced once it has come to the end of its useful life. There are two screws in the base which you remove with the supplied screwdriver, slide out the old battery pack, slide in the new one and you're good to go. From memory the battery packs are about $30.

Thanks for watching my review :)

The thing with battery packs is once they're shot you can only replace them with that battery pack. With batteries you can get them anywhere and you can use them in more than one PV. It is a grand device for sure but I'm just anti battery packs.

You're a battery-pacist!?!?

I'm going to have to work on that pronunciation, and possibly spelling (quite obviously). Let me get back to y'all on that one.

Fair point, this device is definitely not for everyone. That's the great thing about vaping today, there are so many great devices at many different price points, there's going to be a PV out there somewhere that suits your needs. The EPM suits me down to the ground :)

I couldn't agree more and I'm in no way putting it down. It's a wonderful unit and as a plus the 18650 structure on the batteries we use is the best (tested) structure there is. Plus there are a lot of people that want an internal pack with the ease of just plugging them in for a charge.
If it wasn't a great device it wouldn't have piqued my interest in the first place.

LOL!! DPL, I understood it poifectly! :lol:

(I think :confused:)

Ok, so Stud, you might just be a battery anti packist.

(I have no clue what that even means... but it's Katurday, so I have an excuse.) ;)

KD5 and DPL I think it boils down to batterypack fobia. It used to keep me awake for weeks but I take meds for it now and haven't had an outbreak in yrs.:D

Well, they CAN be scary little devils, all hiding out and what-not. But if you keep them well charged and fed, with any great "V-Liquid" (OK, Kat???), they really ARE quite friendly. And the Australian ones are ESPECIALLY well behaved, when treated with the proper respect.

Stay away from those New York packs though. They've got serious attitude issues. You plug them in and they start up. "Hey! You chargin' ME? WHO you chargin'? Fuggedaboudit!!!"

Not worth it. Trust me.

Tap, tap, tap... Talk.

This video review has been sitting dormant long enough. In the spirit of the classies, BUMPIN' IT UP.

So there. :rickroll:

I've just paid for the V2 and hope to have it tomorrow! Really looking forward to it, I'll do a short review featuring the upgrades once I've had a chance to muck around with it a bit.
