Been using this mod for a few days now. I did the fix I posted above and so far no issues. I like it. It may be a bit heavy for a single battery mod, definitely more so than the SMY 75 but with a 4400 mAh 26650 battery in it, I can get the majority of a days vaping on it. That's with dual stainless 316 braided coils at .3 ohms and 40 watts so I'm pretty happy with that.

If it's less heavy than my VAPECIGE VTBox200, I might sell that off and pick up a full sized VT75.

I picked up one of these in blue a week or so ago and love it but the battery cover... Is there a secret to it or is this how they all are? Randomly I get it on the first try but 95% of the time I'm fumbling with it for a few minutes trying to get the threads to line up.

Ah, yeah. That's pretty much the deal. I charge internally for that very reason. At least it charges at 1 Amp.

If they made a cap with a little fold out handle it would probably be so much easier. I guess I'll just start topping it off as much as possible throughout the day. I'm going through 2+ efest green charges a day usually. Trying to change it at 4am half asleep is kind of hilarious and sad at the same time :censored:

What wattage and how much do you vape? Two green Efests is a pretty big drain. I feel like a wuss getting at least two days out of one.

I vape mine at 45 watts with the yellow AWT battery and can get most of an 8 hour work day on it. That's with a Griffin 25 with a .18 ohm dual coil SS build.

How do you get two days?

0.5 Ohm builds TC 30W 450F, and at most 5 ml a day.

I think I missed something. What's an L+?
It's iJoy's Limitless Plus RDTA.

And thank you! I just got home. Yes, a Limitless+. @TrollDragon where did you get that nice DT for it? I tried one from FT that was supposedly sized for a Griffen 25 and was able to fit on the v2 L+ top, but it was a bit too small.
That one was too small as well. I wrapped it with a couple of narrow strips of aluminum foil tape, the kind you use on duct work.

I have a new one coming from FT that is supposed to fit much better. I'll let you know how it fits when it gets here. Supposedly you just take the o-rings off and it fits nice and snug.

Usually around 50 and around 15mls a day. I'm thinking it's my build doing it. About time for a new one so I'll find out soon enough.

Thank you! That's my one real complaint about the tank. I don't know why they switched from the v1 top to the v2, but this problem wasn't there with the earlier v1 top. Now I have that 510 adapter on it topped with a DT and it's way too tall.
