Funny...I just touched on this a few weeks ago in a post about new hardware suggestions.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...al-post-about-vaping-product-suggestions.html

So here we are...the Smoketech Bolt with...an 808 connector aka the V4L OMG All Day Long......

The Bolt has been on the market for 6+ months and it utilizes a single 18490/18500 battery in standard form. Smoketech released The Bolt and the 5v mod aka 5v OMG at the same time. There are matching colored extension tube rings sold so that it can utilize the larger 18650 battery...those do not seem to be available at V4L at this time.

This particular model Bolt aka OMG All Day Long is unique because it uses an 808 male connector which I have already stated concerns about in the linked post above. Will it really last All Day? Depends on how much you vape and what type of atomizer(s) you are using. If you vape less than 3mls a day, use single coil standard or single coil tank carto, especially the 3.0 ohm, then yes.

If you use 1.5 or 2.0 Ohm Dual Coil and vape more than 3mls a day, then no. If you are in this latter category get 2 batteries.

The bolt is a standard non variable Mod, a knock off so to speak of the Silver Bullet. Durable, it comes in many finishes and at this time V4L is carrying 4 of those finishes in Black, Blue, Yellow and Pink. The exterior tube has a krinkled finish which some claim makes it easier to grip.

From the pictures this 808 version is like the standard 510 version in that it is not an Ego connector. However, play with some connectors and add a 510-808, then add an Ego Adapter on top of that, and you could use other Ego related items....might look a little funny but it will work.

It sports a Horn Button, Horn buttons work well, have a good click to them, and with the beveled outer ring will not fire by accident while in your pocket. The tube threads have good height so cross threading shouldn't be a problem, a little Noalax (thread lube sold at retail hardware stores) every now and then or mineral oil would be a good thing.

A standard 3.7v device, like your KR808 batts, it will operate fully charged at 4.1_-4.2v and drain down until the unit needs recharging. There is no recharge indicator for this, no LED, so it will work until it stops working.

It can be used with the Kick for Variable Voltage by adding the extension tube or rings.

Add 1 ring....18490...and Kick
Add 2 rings...18650...and Kick

Hopefully this version has received more than just an 808 connector, hopefully the wiring on this unit has been improved. There is a lot of information on the The Bolt, the biggest issue have come from fried wiring while using this PV with 1.5 Ohm dual coil tanks or LR drip atomizers.

Questions for V4L/Bham:

Will these be available stand alone without purchasing the Kit?
Will extension tubes/rings be available, if yes, when?
Are batteries sold separately?
Will these be apart of promotional discounts?
Will additional colors be available
Does this unit utilize larger gauge wiring as opposed to the standard V1.0 510 Bolt?
Will you be selling the "Kick" for VV options?
How is the draw...airy...tight..when compared to a VT?

:)

These are not actually available for sale. They went up on the site earlier today for a bit by mistake, but we are not set to sell yet.

To answer your questions:
-not available stand alone right away
-we are working on getting the extender rings for the larger batteries
-batteries will be sold separately when we have them in
-the price will be at such a point that we will not be able to further discount
-stay tuned for official announcement for color choices :p
-this is the 2nd version of this device, we are told the wiring is not an issue
-we are not selling the kick at this time
-draw is slightly tighter than a VT

Sorry for spilling the beans...guess the cat is out of the bag now.

-got it
-cool, the 18650 will give it a few more hours with LR stuff
-hmmm...2 batts in the kit would've been cool until then
-I thought so..the kit is a decent value
-cool, chrome is nice with the chrome button and metal capped tanks (hint hint)
-good news
-makes sense
-hmmmm....

As always Dohsma I appreciate and respect your replies...sure we can't get you back here on a regular basis again? All in all the Bolt aka OMG All Day Long is a much better/safer unit than the 5v Mod aka 5v OMG.

Just 2 more questions, ignore them if you want since they haven't been officially released, I won't be offended. I'm sure you have spent some time with these so if you can share:

Tighter like V4L Ego tighter, or tighter than that?
How long does it take to recharge the battery with that plug-in?

Sorry again for jumping on this, but it was on the site for purchase so I thought it had been Green lighted.

I'd say not a tight as the Ego. And I'm just doing charge tests on the batteries today (been super swamped and they JUST came in... they are not even counted in yet.

I always keep my eyes on here, my workload has just been pretty intimidating since the site launch.

Most are excited at the prospect of a new Mod, a few are excited at the aspect of a free Mod.

Would have been nice to let them them announce their own product,but okay. Im thrilled that V4L has taken this step and cant wait to try it out. They have it in PINK so it is on my list of must haves!! CONGRATS V4L!! It looks awesome!

Was there some part of this exchange that you missed Keyzy or are customers not allowed to discuss products that are listed for sale on the website?

Its my fault and I appologize. I should have not been snarky. I 100% take the blame here. I let my feeling show through and I should not have done that. I just felt bad that V4L did not get to release it themselves. A new mod seemed like a big deal and I just felt bad. Im sorry and Im not trying to cause an issue with anyone. I did the wrong thing and I always admit my mistakes. All I can do is say Im sorry. Lets just be happy that something new came out and it looks pretty cool!
