My VV Grand arrived a few days ago and I was extremely excited to try it out. I left a note on my mailbox asking USPS to leave the package from REOS mods along with my hand written signature. Thankfully, they did and it saved me a trip to the PO.

Ive been intrigued by higher voltage / higher ohm since I started. Some of you may remember my post about the 14v pass-though I made for my Mini using 5ohm cartos. The VV Grand was the next step.

The VV Grand arrived at a bad time for me. I was loving my current setup of a Grand w/ 1.5 HH357, but I had to give the VV a try.

First I verified the output voltage went from 3 to 5.5, then I threw a brand new HH357 2.5 on the VVG and went to town. I broke in the atty just like any other. I set the dial to somewhere in the middle. The vape was great, just like when put a new atty on my regular Grand.

After it was producing vapor (HH357), I started playing with the voltage. I went from lowest and worked my way up until it was good. Then, for the heck of it I moved it to the highest. It was then I noticed the flavor didnt change much, what did change was the "draw time" needed for a good vape. The higher voltage meant more vapor in less time for me, just like my 14v setup, which would give a huge plume in half a second! Flavor didnt change though.


I still carry both my regular Grand and VVG for now. My regular Grand still works great, and I still like the vape it produces. Right now, Im not sure the VVG will replace the good old 3.7/1.5 Grand.

What I do like about the VVG is the side switch.

One thing I noticed about the VVG is the top battery can shift off contact if knocked. Not enough to disconnect, but enough to notice.

I took a business card, folded it in half and cut it to fit in between the bottle and batteries-no more shifting or rattle.
I love the button placement, too. Still getting used to the dial though. And I agree on shorter hits, doesn't take much to get that nic hit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The main reason I gave up on 3.7v devices was the battery voltage drop off. I couldn't stand it and would swap batteries out every hour or so. With my VVG I get the same vape from start till the batts give out. For me that is the best thing about using a VVG over a 3.7v Grand or any 3.7v devices. I know a lot of people that like 3.7 and the drop off doesn't bother them at all, as it happens I am not one of them.

My batteries drop off like crazy on my VVG- more than my Grand, but then again, I'm vaping at a steady 5V these days and go through a lot of Juice. Seems I need 3 sets of batteries to go through 6ml of juice. Is everyone else having a similar experience?
Somethings not right Dave send the mod to me I will find it and fix it

I know you want it back!! LOL... I'm not sure I want to part w/ it yet....
But it could be an issue with it for sure. You know that I've been holding back on sending the VV Woodvil back to you too.
Gee, decisions, decisions....it truly is the best vape I have w/ the ERA atty on it.
Any suggestions as to what might be going on? Any way I could test it myself (remember this is the one I called you about the night I got it)....
