How does a bottom feeder work?

ummm..well my opinion is this---you can't replace the battery and the mah rating is too low....so it's not going to hold a charge for long and you're gonna have to replace the whole unit when the battery dies for good....

I agree with what your saying, but currently I am just using a 650 eGo and it easily lasts me all day. I can not replace the battery on it either, so when it is dead, it gets thrown away. I don't want to spend 70 bucks each time the battery dies, but like the eGo I would imagine that the base unit without any accessories would be cheaper than a kit. Different strokes for different folks tho, I am just real curious to see what people think about them.

I emailed the vendor and asked the questions that tybin had questions about and here is the response:


14 Day Warranty on the hardware .

batteries are not user replaceable. They are internal and rechargeable via USB.

Replacement bottles will be available

So i guess Tybin has valid concerns.


That said I may still consider trying one, merely based on price. Maybe a good, economical starter kit for the bottom feeding experience. You are right though, for a solid long term solution I don't believe this is the answer. You would either need two to switch off during charges or have an alternative kit for backup. Which most would have, but still.

Here is a thread I started, which discusses all of the bottom feeder models available:

Did they say battery type or lifespan? If it's a cellphone/laptop battery expect a good 3 years or more of trouble free life.

I also have been considering the Boge Revolution V2 listed here
Has anyone else looked at this machine and have opinions on it's value?

The unit is just being released here in the US, so we don't really know how good it is yet.
The price is only $69.
It has an 850mah battery, so it is comparable with the Riva/eGo set-ups.
The unit also functions as a pass-through, so you can vape it while it charges.
All of this being said, it looks like a decent unit to me.
Ask me again at the end of May when I have it in my hands.

Thanks for all the replies. I have to admit i am intrigued by the Boge Revolution V2 and will be ordering one. It may be that it just wets my appetite for more and better, and will be ordering an even more expensive option in the near future, but until then i am excited about this venture. I will definitely report back on findings and impressions.

i think the usb factor is a bonus... no batt expense, probably at least worth the built in price vs supplying your own.
should be a great way to decide if you are a bottom feed vaper vs hi end units...
i would suggest LR cartos/attys which are divided by resistance / heat factor ... 1.5 LR to 1.8 Ohm LR to 2.0 LR's each will give you a different degree of heat / vapor ... and then if that's too hot for you, go to the low end regular resistance (2.4 Ohm and up)
this is just assuming you need this kind of info, if not, sorry... good for newbies to know.
