Need Advice before ordering

[MsSki]

I have seen Lots lots of good things said about V4L. Im happy with my joye 510 BUT battery life is driving me nuts. So im looking for something that is on the same style of the joye510 , good vapor, longer battery life, pretty colors( had to put that in there) Im a Medium to heavy vapor.
I have alot invested in my Joy510 hardware i have like 10 batts and 8 atties and countless carts and tons of different chargers and the 10 batt charger, I dont want to give up on my joye510 for another ecig that is only gonna give me an extra 10 minutes of vaping no what i mean?

what would you all recommend if i was to go with a V4L product?

Thanks
Tara

The only thing I can recomend is the Xlong manual.I think its the best available battery they carry.Its amazing!Its powerful and lasts 5-8 hrs depending how you vape.I get 5.

XL batteries seem to be the ticket for long long battery life. I am thinking about adding a few of those big guns to my next order. A few of those and some Premium carts (they are crazy big vapor producers), and don't forget ...

PASSTHROUGH!

 

[MsSki]

What about advice on a starter kits?

 

[keyzygirl]

It really depends what you need.The ultimate ultimatum has everything and it works its way down.I of course like the Xlong kit,but you may want a pcc.Its all a matter of preference.Choose what will fit your personal needs.

I have been doing fine with two (regular) batts and my passthrough at home. One batt will usually last me most of the day, the second is just the backup. Any other accessories you buy (chargers, pcc, etc) will come down to what you, individually, need, and that's something only you can judge.

 

[keyzygirl]

You need more than 1 battery.

Yeah, I never purchased a starter kit either. My first order was for 2 x XL, 1 x PT, 3 Packs Blanks, a couple pre-fill, and a wall charger. A couple more batteries and another wall charger followed shortly thereafter.

If money isn't an option i'd go with the ultimate ultimatum manual kit.

Otherwise; 2 batteries, PCC, usb or wall charger.

I haven't had the joy to try out the XL batteries yet, but their normal manuals last me awhile even when chain vaping. the PCC doubles as a usb charger, obviously. Correct me if i'm wrong but they don't have XL PCCs yet?

When i'm out, I keep my PCC plugged into the car cigarette lighter (bought a 2 slot usb charger for my phone while in the car, generic - no issues. Can even use passthrough np while PCC is charging) with my second battery charging. After about 4-7 hours depending on what i'm doing I just swap the battery and move on with life. That way I can also store 2 cartos in the PCC which is all I need while i'm out of the house. With the exception of weekend trips and such where i'd fill up my normal case with 4 more cartos.

Is there a pcc that fits the XL and still closes?

OP- Do you vape mostly at home, or is it a mixture of both? I am home a lot and adore my PT's. If you just want to try a battery to see if you like it there is nothing wrong with ordering a XL batt, and a box of cartomizers. I would recomend a sampler pack of cartomizers. And a usb or wall charger, unless you can charge with the 510 chargers (I have no idea about the 510)

Here is what i would do if i was to Start over or advised friends.

1 XL Manual battery @ $16.50
1 Wall charger @ $13.50
1 Pack of 5 Samples @ $10.00 Total 40.00$ Use Smilin as code-10% off = $36.00

Enjoy!!

You could do the above and get a usb charger for 7.95 instead of the wall charger.

But if $ isn't a major factor I would go with a XL Kit.

That's what I did for my first order (waiting for it to get here). I went with a regular manual battery, usb charger and a pack of carts. Depending on how things go when I first try it I'll be back on the V4L site ordering more stuff.

Currently they do not have a PCC for the XL size batts, but I believe i saw a post from Steve saying they're working on it!

This is exactly what I did and i'm happy with it.

One XL bat is enough to last me 2 days between charges (2 hours vape/day).

I may get one more XL bat with next order to fill in for weekends.

 

[keyzygirl]

Just for comparison,I go through 3 Xlongs a day.I wouldnt want to be sitting there waiting for a green light.

 

[MsSki]

Thanks for all the feed back.

I do have alot of 510 hardware and I have an mega batt with them and it will last me a good 4 hours of vaping, I am pleased with them.

I might just do a small order V4L to see if there is big difference ya know what i mean.

My only problem is that i want all the little toys out there

Ok I know nothing of Cartomizers, Right now with my 510, i have my atty and my cart, and i cant complain about the life span of them(knock on wood).

what is the life span of these cartomizers? how long is the life span of the atty?

Tara

 

[Adrenalynn]

The atomizer is built into the cartomizer - that's what the "omizer" part is.

I just have a tendency to toss 'em around 50ish fills. Except for two that have died-died, I've only ever ordered ten cartomizers in the three months I've been vaping (that's 10 total, 2 packs)

I run the 901 at home and V4L with carts everywhere else. The 901 is pretty worthless for heavy vaping and not packing a bottle of juice and tissues. Right here where i'm sitting I can see 6 various batteries, 5 regular tobacco flavored cards, 2 cappuccino carts and three bottles of juice in 3 flavors. I have a medium sized box of juice and carts(compared to the folks here) in other flavors, and dig through that about once a week so far.

Variety is the spice of life. Running out of juice sucks, and a dozen uncharged batts do nothing for the program so spend as much time charging as you do vaping or get used to mod boxes or unusually, and uncomfortably long batts.

The cartomizers last forever since you can refill over and over again. I have yet to have one die on me. These are perfect to grab when your out and about.

This is a great savings on attys alone as I go through several on my Protege.
