Just received my new XL batts and juices...

[Laz777]

Hurray!

I just got some new juices, blank carts and a new XL battery. So far the XL battery is a beast! I'm not sure how long it will last (the charge) but it gives good vapor. The juices and carts taste nice (Pineapple, Cola, French Pipe, & 555). I was also given a few free carts to try and they were nice also. I tried the tobacco sampler #2 and Ry4 is nice! Pretty much all of the flavors in Sampler #2 were very nice, much better then the tobacco sampler #1 (IMHO).

The holes on the XL battery are on the small side though which makes the draw a bit tougher/harder. I'll either learn to like it (the draw) or I'll live with it. I know some people have enlarged the holes and maybe I'll go that route if the draw becomes a problem. So far though, it seems fine. Who knows how I'll feel about that after puffing on my regular sized batteries though? All in all I'm very pleased.

I do wish they would figure out this "juice" problem. Sometimes the juices don't taste the same as the pre-filled carts.

I'll give a shout if I encounter any problems in the days ahead.

Thanks,

-Laz.

Yeah the XL batts generally do last you longer, but not by much from what I've heard

 

[Laz777]

From what I've read on this forum they last anywhere from three to five hours, depending on a person's vaping habits. I've found that the regular batteries (808) last me about two hours so I suspect the XL's will last me maybe three hours worth of vaping? I'm vaping so heavily right now that my head is spinning! I need to learn how to put these damn things down!

The XL's not only last longer, they seem to produce more heat in the cart which gives you more of a throat hit than the standard batteries. Every since I got my XL's, my shorties have stayed in the drawer where they belong.

So far, after puffing for about an hour I'm noticing some differences between the Xl battery and my regular sized batteries. The smaller holes are having an effect on smoke production. At first I was getting good vapor but when I compared it to the regular batteries I noticed they were producing more vapor. I think this directly relates to the small hole size on the XL battery. If I widen the holes a bit I think I'll get much better vapor production. I still need to sit back and compare some more before I'm completely sure.

What!!!

I just charge this thing (XL battery) up less then an hour ago and it's already dead! I guess I know why I'm not getting the same amount of smoke as my regular batteries. I put it on my USB charger before I used it so I wonder what the problem might be? Maybe I should use my wall charger and see how it performs after it has been recharged? I'll tell you how it worked out after it's done charging.

The first three to six charges on a new battery are required to bring a new battery to its full capacity.

My XLs last anywhere between 5-8 hours of heavy vaping. Even one of my old ones is lasting about the same as some new ones. Good stuff, good stuff.

 

[Laz777]

Thanks for the information about battery break in period Adrenalynn.

I'm a heavy vaporer (?) Kimmy so hopefully I'll get the same results. It's holding the second charge much better then the first charge.

P.S.,

I like the pretty green light!

I got my xl auto (green) batt today as well and was happy with the green led. Pretty.
this is my Number 2 xl, I got a manual last week. I think Im happy with both. I widened the holes just a bit on the manual, but Im afraid if I do it to the auto it might affect the switch. Anyone know about widening the holes on the autos?

yep, up to 10 hours some days (depending on how busy I am)

I had one last all day 12 hour shift at work. And I went to the bathroom once every half hour to get my fix

 

[terrie1]

Yep these last a LONG time. I see myself only needing the two to get me through the day, let em both charge at night
