Hi everybody,
Got the new P18350plus in the mail last night. Wasn't able to compare vape time to my old P10, but I didn't see a huge difference in vapor or throat hit. Of course now I have a buyer for my P10 but want to hold off until I can do the battery life comparrison. I like the P18350 and it's not to big for my hands, can fire it up just fine with my pinky. However it just looks so masculine. I guess I'm a tactile person, and during the rare time I wouldn't vape, I'd hold my P10,be it during homework, TV etc.
I don't have the same feeling with the new P18350. Maybe it's the new finish, maybe the width. But I guess functionality will come before looks. I know more later, after I vape all day. Good news, have not touched a cigarette today and don't feel like it either. Ordered some 1.5 ohm XXL cartos with it, but I have to keep them very loose on the P18350, or they won't work.
I do prefer the boge LR caros so far. OK, here's my question.
The button on my old P10 won't move once it is screwed on (great for OCD, lining the P so it is straight). The new button still moves even when the battery is in. Is that normal? I always lined the P up with the grooves, hence if the button wouldn't move I could still lock it.
It bothers me a little, don't know why. Ok, that was one long explanation for a short question and I probably still didn't make myself clear.
Back to my vaping experiment to see which mod to sell. I feel so bad for the nice member waiting for the P10, but I wrote him and hope he'll understand.

The button that turns is normal.
I was so certain you'd love your P+18350. Instantly, like I did. In a way I can see how you'd think it was masculine, particularly if it has the flat top (is it flat or slanted?) In fact, the first time I saw the P+ here I posted that the flat top was "manly" and that's why I liked it. I don't think anybody realized how attached you were to the P 10's form.
I'm sure you're finding the battery life much longer on the 18350?

Evening Silverrocks! Good to hear you landed a PrecisePlus! Are you using the AW IMR 18350 battery? If so, you'll find that after several times of charging/discharging them you'll gain more life out of them. You should see 2-3 times the vape time over the 10440 battery.

Have a great Holiday!

Thank you. Yes, the 18350 does have more punch. I'm using the AW batteries. It may be the smoketek (sp) low ohm caromizer draining the battery to quickly. I'm just in love with the look/feel of my P10. However the constant battery switching was a pain in the ..... I'll give it a few more days and see if I can get used to the new finish before I decide what to do. Of course the quality is fantastic.Thank you for helping me getting off cigarettes. Merry Christmas. Snork, I'm using the slant top; slowly falling in love :)

Hey silverrocks,

If you have the P+350 it looks great with a tank if you are interested. It is a bit thicker (and shorter) than the P+10 but the battery life is better and if you have a tank you have a pretty low maintenance mod, less time changing batteries and filling with juice. The tank I have is the VPX Cartomator Mini which you can get from HV, Nhaler or C9V.

My wife loves having the P+10 as she is self conscious with holding a larger battery mod. I was I but in the end changing batts and refilling juice/dripping drove me nuts. Now I switch from using a P+350 with the VPX Cartomator and my P+650 while dripping to get the best of both worlds/vapes. If I want to drip I grab the P+650, if I am out and about, I grab my P+350. My wife on the other hand grabs her P+10 with 4 batts. Now that shes home for the holiday season she is using her P+650 more often.

Hope our experience helps. All of them are great mods it may just take some time getting use to the P+350.

Thanks, I have very similar feelings as your wife. I am still not used to the 18350. However, I'm a creature of habit and may get used to it in a few days; if not I will send my existing P10 in and have David upgrade it to the plus version as soon as he's ready and sell the P18350.
The weight, shape, polished material are perfect. I would jusy buy 10 new ICR batteries and call it good. For some reason I am super attached to this little mod.The new finish and craftsmanship are perfect as expected on the new mods, but I love the old style. Elegant, understated and discret. A few more days and I should have figured it out. Thanks for your input and Merry Christmas.
