The Bolt does have a vent hole in the bottom and it will clog up if you dip it in mud or wet sand,it also will stop firing for a while after it has been submerged in salt water ( I sprayed P.B. blaster in it ) it still works fine.I had to put a little glue around the button also after I dropped it 2 stories off the top of the wheelhouse onto a steel deck and broke a nice drip tip and a carto in half,the tank came out with a small crack up near the top but works fine.I better stop before someone says Im advertising for P.B. blaster lol

Yeah I know it will get flagged ,I dont see me raging on over priced junk lasting very long.I mean just look around at all the adds on here now its crazy maybe I should buy me a hundred cheap batteries from China for $5 each put a skull logo on them and call them Skullz Vape and sell them for $30. each roflmao, I could make a killing on new people I can see it now big add at the top of the page SKULLZ VAPE with a skull with vapor bellowing out of every hole. Lol Is there a forum not run by the companies selling the products,a place you dont get flagged for telling the truth.Is this big vapors website,well I guess its better than big tobacco (omg )

That product is an Indulgence. It is a terrible design. I had nothing but problems with mine.
with which one the Provari or the Bolt.If it was a Provari they carry a year waranty on all the electronics.if it was the Bolt it is a button and a battery and wire not much really there to go wrong I guess you could put the battery in upside down.I did hear the first ones had problems.But as I stated just my thoughts no need for anybody to get butthurt.

Anybody have any opinions about what the Philippines are offering? I bought a mechanical mod. It was a version 5 M something...can't think of it right this second. I missed versions 1-4! I don't know. Just wondering if they have reputation. I think all places are potentially good and bad. Until their business practices prove them reliable or unreliable I just take a chance like a lot of people. Sure do agree with the logo thing. I am embarrassed to say I am a victim of that. Why? I hope that if they put their name on it they are endorsing a product from a reliable source where Quality Control is high and I'm not getting a clone knockoff whatever ya call it. If I was a savvy consumer I'd do my own research but how to be sure? How to be sure in any case. We only try. It's worth it to pay for Quality Control but. IS my assumption true anymore?

The 18350 mini tube. The center pin collapses. It's held by a plastic disc. I'm not hurt at all. Just trying to keep people from buying things that are not good.

Eshots from the Philippines is my favorite RBA source. I own the Phoenix, and the Magno SS Drip Tank System. Stellar craftsmanship.

i have beat my bolt to death and it still works I have had a much different outcome with mine over this last year,I used to carry a couple of ego batteries around with me but they are long since dead and my bolt that I paid $25 for is still kicking I have bought several batteries for it though.Im sue you can spend $100 bucks on some kind of American made tube switch and wire but,once again my opening header states go big go home or go real cheap.I really did not want to spend $160 on this Provari Im fogging up my bedroom with right now,but I am so glad I did.It is just real stable I get the same hit all the way through my battery.I love it.To each his own though.I think the Bolt is a great pv to start with its simple and tough lord knows I wish I would have started with a Bolt instead of all the ego and automatic battery crap I wasted money on.Filling up little tanks and stuff all day long ugghh.If I was going to spend anymore than that I would go straight to the Provari and vv my way to heaven.I do not see why pay a ton of money for a mechanical mod,but once again thats just me.A bolt with a dct on it 2 batteries and a charger some cartos with a nice drip tip would have been the ultimate starter for me. I have started many of my friends this way and they have never changed and they thank me all the time.I now start them with this though because its cheaper and works pretty good. http://www.smokerevolt.com/18350MiniTube for less than $50 bucks I can put them in this with a tank cartos drip tip and charger with 2 batteries and 30 mill eliquid,I charge them $55..to cover my shipping.I have had nothing but praises.So my question to you is what would you start your friends on.Show me links and picks.I wonder if you can stay under $60. delivered to there door With everything they need to get started.

Ok so im lost, where is all this advertising you speak so sourly about?

If you actually spend time here you will see the members regularly share information about who to trust and where the best deals are. not so sure what advertising and bad information you keep referring too.
Look all over this forum at the top of everypage there is some kind of crap,Like apollo I orderd a chrome tube from them,I had to wait two weeks to get it.I had origanlly ordered the brass tube but they never got it in.My friend waited 2 months for a ss one and he had to settle for a chrome one because they never came in.They listed them s in stock but didnt have them in hand.then when I get mine it is so airy you would not believe it.Apollo tells me they know this but all I can do is send it back and pay the return shipping.They tell me I need a adaptor that they do not even sell.so i find it and put it on there and it still hits like garbage.The battery charger that came with it was broke from day one.I cant even look on here without seeing a Apollo advertisement.
