Indulgence feedback and flavour question

Hi there, just received my titanium indulgence, and I must say, overall, it's awesome. A couple of issues which I'd like to mention though.

  1. Threading - it's a bit dodgy . . . the actual unit itself is OK, although I fear with regular use, I'm going to crossthread it somewhere, it doesn't feel very solid - quite a bit of resistance on screwing the parts together, which concerns me a bit. The adapters are borderline.
  2. Finish - it's a bit scuffed and scratched, which I can live with, but when you're hanging out for a titanium finish it means you really want the unit to look great, to match it's performance.
  3. It's lucky I no longer use 801 attys, as the 801 adapter won't screw in correctly - it's totally useless.

Regarding flavours, I've been sent 5 bottles of "Green Mint" . . . I can't see this listed on your website anywhere, and it does taste different to the Double Mint I ordered. I'm disappointed about this, as the Double Mint is the same as my previous absolute fave from another supplier, which was labelled by them as "Polar Mint".

Is there any reason why this was shipped instead of the Double Mint I ordered? I've got 5 bottles of it, and it's not that great :( The "Double Mint" had much more of a menthol flavour, and throat hit. Maybe it IS actually the same, but the recipe's changed in the last 6 weeks???

I don't like to complain, and as I said, overall the unit is awesome, just little issues which need attention :)

the threading is very fine on these units
put a tiny touch of machine oil on

it works like magic.

just be gentle, the threads are very fine,
but works just fine.



  1. Finish - it's a bit scuffed and scratched, which I can live with, but when you're hanging out for a titanium finish it means you really want the unit to look great, to match it's performance.
if it is too bad - return for replacement, i hope it is not too bad, as to spoil your enjoyment of it.

yes, - bad kolo gave a few remedies for the 801 adapter bullitt, it seems to have got a bit not quite right.
I actually forced one thru and it is ok
but should be better I admit.
I will tell David

yes, possibly this is the equivalent of --
maybe the name has changed.

i will mention these to david.

I am glad you like it overall tho -- :)
 
Hi Di,

As usual, you are a fantastic ambassador for Eastmall :) Thank you for your quick reply!

I have put some machine oil on the threads and they're much better thanks.

Regarding the finish, yes, I can live with it . . . it's minor, but it definitely should be something that is remedied for future Indulgence purchasers :)

The 801 adapter - I'm gonna have a go at forcing it . . . like I mentioned, I don't usually use 801's, but I do have some 801 attys here from a previous PV, and was looking forward to trying them out on the Indulgence . . . I'm gonna get vicious on the adapter and see if I can't get it working.

Thanks also for the flavour info - if you could ask the question of David, that'd be great.

Keep being awesome Di :D

hahahahah

dont get too vicious with the lil bullitt adapter
put in another one and use a converter
like put in the 510 bullitt, and use a 510 to 801 converter

like that??????

hahahahahaahahahah :)

I will ask about the juice when I catch up with him.
:)
 
Hehe! Nah, I'm gonna get fair nasty with the hammer . . . rather that than create a new "giraffe neck" Indulgence model :D I mean, it's useless as it is, so no harm really!

I see another person asked the question regarding menthol a little while ago. That must have been after my last juice purchase - I got a single bottle of Double Mint and it was awesome! But this Green Mint isn't the same - I'm sure . . . would be good to hear David's response on that one.
