Received preproduction review unit #1 from Mr. Puff yesterday morning after my review of Petercro's mini juice box.
Disclaimer-This unit was given to me in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. I have no obligation to send it back under any circumstances, and I don't have any sort of emotional or financial stake in making this review.
It's basically a long slender box mod that uses a 14500 3.7 v. battery, 510 atty connection, and a slender 3ml juice bottle. Tubing from the bottle goes through the outside of the box into the cartridge instead of into the atomizer. The cart has a kind of polyfill plug that's designed to hold a fair amount of juice without flooding the atty. It has a color changing led that lights up when the unit is on (and cuts off when it is actually being vaped) slider on and off switch, and a tiny extended vaping button.
After a couple of minor issues (namely how to open the mod-the back securely slides off downwards and determining that it came with a wonky 510 atty) the unit was ready to use.
Holy crap, this thing is TINY! It's roughly one third to one half the size of a pack of cigarettes. It has a very well made, well crafted, solid feel to it. I also thought the tube going from the bottle to the cart was going to give it kind of a rube goldberg feel and look, but so far, it's fine. The tube can detach from the cart if you're not careful, but it can easily be put back without any leaks or problems.
The rubberized, anti slip coating has started to peel, and I've been told that this will not be on the production model. I personally don't think it needs any coating at all. It doesn't effect how the unit handles or looks without it.
Again, the color changing LED lights up when the unit is on, and cuts off temporarily when it is actually being vaped. Mr. Puff explained it is a reminder to turn it off when it's not being used, and postulated that folks will either like it, or find it obnoxious. Sorry, Mr. Puff., the wife has already named it-the Geek Mini Lava Lamp. I'm used to units lighting up only when being vaped, but this is a conversation starter; it's like the Mr. Puffer is crying out for attention. If you're wanting to steath vape, this unit has the subtlety of a police car emergency flasher.
One of the things that intrigues me about the Mr. Puffer is the ability to further mod the cart. It should be easy to remove the polyfill plug and try any of the dozen or so 510 cart mods on the ECF boards. A minor uncertainty is replacement carts. I looks like it shouldn't be too hard to drill a hole in the side of a different 510 card and insert the tubing plug into it; but I'd bet that Mr. Puff will sell replacement carts for the model. It may not be necessary, since the only time you'd have to remove the plug from the atty is when you change it for another 510.
It vapes pretty much like a 510. It's better than a 510 on a freshly charged 510 battery, but not quite as good as a 510 on a freshly charged 18650 battery on my GGTS. It has decent vapor and throat hit on a 70/30 PG/VG mixture. It doesn't have the warm, wet ultra flavorful vape of the petercro box, or of-at least I've been told-the carlos JuiceBox.
However, it also doesn't have much of a learning curve. You should be vaping this successfully in under five minutes. Mr. Puff chose the ultra long 3 ml juice bottles, and they are extremely resilient and easy to use. You can also see the juice going from the bottle into the cart, which makes it easier to gauge how much you're pumping. The bottle/tubing is so well designed, a bottlecap is not included or necessary. If you somehow manage to flood it, you can simply remove the atty and blow it out from the battery end. This may be a better choice for a newbie or intermediate vapor than even the coveted Juice Box.
Again, this is an initial review; it's much too soon for a final verdict. But I'm really impressed with it so far. If it continues to hold to my daily use (abuse, whatever) and is reasonably priced, this may turn out to be the mod that many of us will soon be steering new vapers to, and buying ourselves-for at least a secondary unit.
