Indulgence

[TheJack]

Ordered a Indulgence yesterday from Vaporjunction.com and got a tracking number today. it says i have it monday Woooo hahaha. now i see a .... load of reviews and for the most part all i hear is bad but i was told that about Volcano infernos and ego T`s and i have them and love`em so i had to order the Indulgence. i also seen today that the extension batter holder will hold a 1 x 3.7v 18650 Protected battery @ 3000mAh. i didnt order the extension yet. funds are a little slow at the moment but if all goes well with the Indulgence i will have that also. i`ll post pics asap. i need to get it first.


Just wanted to share

What fun!

It seems to me that most of the reviews were for when it first came out --- and a lot of the issues mentioned/shown were fixed really fast.

I also read recently of a member who was happy vaping away in life with her Indulgence ---came back to "visit" (look for battery source or something like that) and was blown away and surprised to hear of all the new gear now available. I think that's a good note for this inexpensive versitile PV.

I received my kit today. its very nice. i have pics below and 1 question. in the one picture you see a addy and a tip that is filled with pollyfill. what is this? in this kit i got 10 blank tips with fill and a addy. it works grate but whats it called? i also took a picture of the indulgence next to a ego / inferno to compare the size. its kinda small but it works nice.

A cartridge that you fill with eJuice and slide over the atty.

 

[tearose50]

That's called a cart -- cartridge. It is used to wick the attomizer. Cartomizer is combination cart and atty.
It's the "3 part system" --- cart, atty, battery. Works fine---just don't let it get too dry & top off frequently.

 

[TheJack]

Thanks. i never used an addy with cartridge. i love to drip but this just makes it so much better.

The last few days i have bin vaping the Indulgence and i noticed i`m not getting the hits like i do on ego and inferno? it just weak. it dont even want to fire up my dual coil. this is with fresh batterys. it works good with attys but it seems weak. is there a fix for this or is this just how it is? i must say i my ego/inferno`s are better.

make sure the filler port lines up with the mesh over the atomizer. If you look at where the filler is you will see that piece that holds it is oblong shaped. Now look at the mesh bridge that you slide the filler over and you will see how it should line up when you slide the 2 together

 

[TheJack]

Thanks but that dont work. it also seems like i`m using 2v on the dual coil.

 

[TheJack]

I just reamed out the hole some on the Indulgence cap for the 510 fitting and its a lot better. the dual coil is working but not like on the ego / inferno

Read from this post and read down: Indulgence V2

ECF Indulgence thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-dunno-maybe-atomizer-video-posted-issue.html

All that is above me & my mechanical/technical tinkering ability but it is cool that someone posted it for you.

My button sure doesn't look plastic either.

I did find one little thing that might improve performance -- removed the 510 connector from the button section -- there was a bit of juice there & that causes more resistance. Try a little cleaning. Might help.

I do find the batteries seem to fade pretty fast----and that certainly contributes to the "weakness". One nice thing about ego type batteries is the mofset keeps the power pretty stable----& then one or two weak draws & it is non functioning and ready for charge.

To summarize the thread,
Each part from the bottom spring to the atty is a contact point. Each contact point in the Indulgence (in my indulgence) had a POOR contact. Poor contact = high resistance = Poor Performance.
So I replaced the bottom batt spring with a better quality copper plated hot spring from Altsmokes (for the Silver Bullet): Copper Spring. It improved in performance but not enough to wow me. Still less than an eGo.
The rest of the contact points take considerable work like replacing the contact points just below and just above the push button switch. The top P.B. sw leg touches a tiny spring that touches the atty pos point. The bottom of the switch leg touches a contact point that touches the pos of the battery.

I didn't want to burst your bubble on your first original post about what I had experienced as well as many others w/ the performance of the Indulgence.
Their are some Fan Boys/Girls that will jump in around now and tell you how great the Indulgence is and how they have no problems with it.
But being a seasoned Mod builder, I will tell you that it is made up of cheap quality materials and parts. They had a good concept but failed with the quality of materials.

ok, i understand all the above but i broke off the terminal that goes to the spring. i have pics below. i`m not going to bother ordering a new switch i just have to figure something out. in the pics its not broke but that happened when assembling it.

I have been very disapointed with my Indulgence's poor performance and I don't have the knowhow to fix the switch. I jsut hope Eastmall will wake up and realize the problem and fix it. I'd buy a new switch.

 

[TheJack]

I ended up braking the switch and tossed it to the side. i cant find a replacement to order in the states. i wired up a few switches but for some reason it only shuts off when i have the button in. once i screw the battery holder on if fires up. i dont get it but i picked up a Provari and i`m loving every hit. thats by far the best purchase i ever made.
