I would say if you can vape it without cleaning it (if it doesn't taste too yucky) keep going.....lets see how long it will go....but it's up to you.....(I am not the one tasting it)......
I am still keeping mine in the other room and only vaping 1 tank/day....it's still too good...

That's what I think I'll do, Blue... Almost done with tank #13 and it still isn't too bad yet. I didn't get through quite as many tanks yesterday because I really needed the sleep. I was up for around 48 hours for a work thing... so when I crashed, I crashed hard! :lol:

Let's see how far I can ride this train!

My kit arrived today! It's tiny! I have the tank loaded with some Hawaiian Punch, tastes a little muted, but I'm not down to that 1/2 way mark yet that everyone keeps talking about...lol...I have to say, this is smaller than I thought (which is a very good thing for me), and feels pretty good in my hand. Buttons are easy to work, nice solid clicks without rattling, too!

Awesome, Red! What color did you get?
Sooooo tiny! I actually love the size as well. I'm a smaller sized guy, so the big bulky mods (like the Snow Wolf) have NO appeal to me... it's like a 6 year old holding a brick! But this little mod just fits me! Now keep hitting that fire button and come on down to Flavorville! :D

I'd like to chime in as well.
I was lucky enough to have won my Target from Evan ( @Vera ) too and the shipping time was astonishingly fast . Thank you Evan !
The mod itself is on the small side but comfortable to hold nevertheless . Everything seems to be solidly built and so far I'm really enjoying it. I'm sure that with time the coil prices will drop a bit , that's my only concern so far. Also , the kit didn't come with the battery, so picked a samsung 5r for $7 from a local store.
So far so good. The kit sells for $65 on heavens site , so that plus a battery makes it about $72-75 which in my book is very reasonable for a 75w device with a top notch tank.
Definitely worth it.
Just my 2 pennies )

Heya, Jtim! Thanks for chiming in!
Yeah, their shipping is insanely fast... I'm still blown away as my only experience with shipping from China is with FastTech... not bad experiences, but it does take a couple weeks.
I've already seen the coil prices begin to drop... when I first looked they were $20 for a 5 pack, now down to $18... so I tend to agree with you there.
Nice call on the battery. I'm mostly a mech mod guy, so I had plenty of Sony VTCs laying around the house. I've not tried the Samsungs, but I've heard nothing but good things about them.
Be sure to check back in to update us on your experience with it!

I received my kit today when I got home from work. I chose to start with the .9 kanthal atomizer. I filled the tank with one of my favorite DIY juices. I read this thread before receiving my kit so I expected an off taste in the beginning. Well an off taste I got and I found it pretty nasty. I think this issue needs to be addressed by the manufacturer because 1st impressions are very important. Now that I am almost half way through this 1st tank I do find that the off taste is diminishing.
My 1st impressions on this tank end here but I will return once I have vaped enough juice to flush the off taste completely away.

Hey JB! Thanks for following my little thread here! Yeah, it was an odd taste in the beginning for me as well... maybe a little more than just muted... just can't quite put a finger on it. I can assure you that it is gone for me at this point, though... I'm thinking that I may drop the Nickel coil into a little pill bottle with some juice and let it sit for a day or two before use... maybe that'll speed up the process. That's the great thing about DIY... never a shortage of disposable juice! :D
1st impressions sound a lot like mine and I look forward to hearing what you think after a tank or two!

Before I filled the tank I took it apart and sniffed the tank and atomizer, the tank had no odor but I thought the atomizer had a faint odor. I think this is a problem the manufacturer can solve.

I'll have to take your word on that one, JB. I've got a busted sniffer... I get terrible sinus problems, and they are acting up right now... but you're right, it's a possibility that they could solve the problem internally. Maybe send Vera (his real name is Evan) a PM. I think he has been in contact with a few other members about fixing little bugs with the equipment on a manufacturing level. If not, he probably knows who to address with issues. Hmmmm... in the meantime, maybe a pre-soak in PGA might not be a bad idea either. I need more coils to experiment with! Maybe I'll check in with a few local vape shops and see if anyone is carrying parts for these yet... Heaven Gifts only has the nickel coils available for purchase at the moment...

I took the coil out and washed the whole tank, but still had a little "off" taste...today after turning the watts wayyyyyyy up and running enough juice through, the flavor is pure juice and quite near perfection!

Another little update for y'all... this morning while getting ready for work, I dropped (switches to Gollum voice) 'My Precious'... As it hit the rug on my tile floor, I gasped as the atomizer separated from the mod... I then quickly picked it up and was horrified to see that the tank section had separated from the airflow control base... hastily examining the parts, I realized that the coil base unit is apparently press fitted into the airflow control base, so with much hope in my heart I lined everything up and pushed them back together. It did take a little back and forth, and a considerable amount of force, but everything went back together as it should be. It vapes exactly the same as it did before and there isn't a single mark on the mod nor the atty... Kudos to Vaporesso! This mod can take a hit and keep on truckin'! :D :D :D

What wattage are you running it at now, Red? I started at 10W, then just bumped by 5s until I hit 35W... then after a tank or two I went to 40, and I've been there ever since... still secretly wondering how it'll do if I crank it to the max...

I usually run about 20.... Last night hit 25.... A friend of mine who won one of the early kits told me to kick it to 35... I resisted because that's usually too hot for me, but did it anyways...lol!

@Kaezziel ..... Only you could be fortunate enough to win a mod :w00t:

I am happy for you and thanks for the detailed report on the device :)

Thank you, sir! This is the first thing that I've ever won... and I have to admit that I am quite pleased with it!

I'm glad that you liked the report, I'll keep updating as time goes on... too many times I've bought a mod and LOVED it... for a week or two. It's those little things that come up with steady usage that tends to put me off of a mod.

I like the stainless version, but I also like the pre production white with the orange buttons. Looks like the love child of a storm trooper and BB8.

LOL! Everyone at work who's seen it asks me, "Is that your new 'Star Wars' vape?". Then they laugh and call me a nerd... :lol: Fortunately I'm okay with that term... I've been a geek in some way, shape, or form my whole life!

Yeah? Well, Big Bang Theory is my absolute favorite sit-com! I'm not quite a 'Sheldon' though...

Have you seen any of the new sci-fi shows? 'The Expanse' is pretty awesome, and I can't wait for the '12 Monkeys' premier! Still a whole month away before 'The Walking Dead'... OH! And 'Into The Badlands' is absolutely awesome, but that's more of a "bleak-future-post-apocolypse" kinda show... Yeah, I love those too...

LOL... that guy is hilarious! He was basically non-functioning in the outside world before Leonard moved in... look at him now... actually hooking up with Amy! Man, he's come a long way! But it's a lot of the jokes that get me... restores a small bit of my faith in the intelligence of people at large... the show couldn't be as big of a success as it is if there were as many stupid people as I once believed! :lol:

Love The Walking Dead...favorite show. Also a big fan of The Big Bang Theory. Haven't watched The Expanse, but I'm excited about the return of The X Files on Fox later this month, with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.
