Ok. So I finally got around watching Scott's review on the Heron. I love Scott's reviews. I always rate his at the top of all reviewers. No nonsense, right to the point, no farting around. Having a good time is great, but sometimes I just want to get to the Meat and Potatoes. But this "fluff less" setup is really getting to me. Should people experiment? Why not, but as I have mentioned before, understand the risks. And Scott pointed out "wish it was threaded". That's a risk. When you have a bottle that's open top and just the cap, with no nipple (yes, I said NIPPLE DAMNIT), and the cap loosens a tiny amount, you can get juice in your pocket. Keep the nipple. Same here. But what really confused me is he USUALLY sets up the reviews as the "modder intended". I've been around long enough to know that Perseas didn't say "It can be setup WITH fluff, OR WITHOUT fluff". Set it up the way it was intended for the purposes of the review. Then go make a second review of a "bonus setup, not endorsed by the modder". Personally, I'm not saying don't go without fluff....just don't blame it on the threads.

Ok. Rant over. Sorry - I had to.
Nice fro bro.

Your correct I am sure Funkmaster P nor The Hitman G said to go with that. In fact, I heard George is still bending steel rods with his bare hands because of that Damn fluffless crap.


Overheard up North in a Pub :)
"Hey, sure hope this JB Weld holds up so I can try this fluffless Spheroid" :facepalm:

Thought it pretty disingenuous to demonstrate how noisy the Heron is without trying it as the designer intended. Inferred that it was the Heron that is noisy rather than his use of it. I like Scott and Todd, egos smaller than a pinhead, but I agree with you yankeebobo that he should also have reviewed it being used as intended. It bugged me enough to leave a comment about it on his page when I watched his video yesterday lol - I might need to get out more!

It was one thing to dig thru the posts here to find that info out but with Scott's review everyone and their brother will be trying to run it that way. Honestly his wick didn't look like it filled the hole up enough to not leak.
I saw the post here and also talked to someone else before trying it. For me it's working great but I had no idea of the controversy around it. I almost feel bad for running it that way now :(

ETA: it just occurred to me, his complaint about the tank not being threaded and accidentally spilling juice wouldn't be an issue if fluff was used...yeah y'all knew that already :facepalm:

Now THAT is bad form!

Just kidding!!! :D :D :D

I've never tried a Spheroid or Heron, so I don't have an opinion on the matter.

Got my Spheroid up & running! AND I think I set it up right the first time!! I did 4/5 wraps of 30ga around 2mm Silica and used approx. 3/4 x 2 inches of fluff.....it seems to be vaping very nicely I must say!! I am vaping Suicide Bunny Mother's Milk out of it and the flavor is excellent!! I am definitely impressed by the Spheroid!! :)

Excuse the goofy looking drip tip....it's the first one I saw so that's what I'm using for the time being!! haha

Great to hear you got it all set up and working jpcwon! I can't put mine down!

I'm running with 2mm silica also, at around 1.3Ω. I have some Koh Gen Do cotton on the way that I'd like to try in there as well.


Edit for yankeebobo: Fluff is more.

If your on UKV hit me up there sometime :). A few good friends over there.

Don't feel bad Brother J, at all. New the scene and experimenting is great. It wasn't the doing it was the constant promoting. Especially when there were issues.
Remember Perseas and team developed and taught us how to use it. And in the same breath Chad was promoting it like he cured cancer. And, not only here but other ecf threads and fb. Some new members and owners never learned how to set it up as intended in the first place.
My very good friend Qorax and I were lucky to get them before release, much to set up as intended and help if needed. We both found ourselves beating our heads on the wall.
Praise the patience of King P.
I am more upset with myself for not saying more about it when it was happening. Q and I both wrote posts in this thread on intended use but it wasn't enough.
Like I mentioned yesterday, you are a pleasure to have here many friend.

Just got back from walking Howard :). I rest


Our 2 cats don't much bother and of the GP :). It is because they have it very good in this animal loving home and they don't want to leave :D


:laugh:
In Amsterdam, I sleep good ;).




Packing a Spheroid for me to put together? I know you want too! I may send back with a GP surprise! I heard you liked GP drip tips :)

I'm getting to the post office soon. I try not to drag my mom out when it's hotter than hell so I have to wait until someone is here with her when I dip out.

Sent from a BIG phone.....Galaxy Note 3

Note to self, send FS a sSpheroid for a bit.

I started vaping cartomizers - first with KR808-D cigalikes and then pre-punched XLs for tanks. I was also into bridgeless 901 and 510 dripping atomizers which I still use for testing flavors. One of the reasons that I got in to rebuildables was to try to get that fabulous taste of a dripping atomizer which I thought was superior because it had no polyfill or other filler material. I'm strictly in to rebuildables now and I enjoy the clean taste and simplicity of a wick and a coil and it truly puzzles me that so many members of my family here are so into their fluff.

Your suggestion of a loaner flatters me. I would take wonderful care of it, and despite my reservations of moving backwards in my vaping evolution, I would be thankful and excited for the opportunity to play with it, as it's really nothing that I've considered. I would have to do some research and go to back to and look at many of the posts about fluff and fluff-related devices that I must admit, many of which I may have skimmed or simply skipped over. Two things that I do know just from being around here for a while are that Vapourart fluff is superior to using pet supplies as filler and that Scott's video shouldn't be the first one that I watch.
