Okay, I'm a little late to the 'first batch party', but my chrome VTube is finally here after some USPS Einstein didn't seem to realize that Utah is not on the East coast. Sorry that Apollo's gesture of free upgrade to Priority shipping was wasted on me.
BUT...I want to commend Apollo on the packaging. My last VTube purchase was simply dropped into a paper shipping envelope, no bubbles. THIS one was first wrapped in tissue, put into a bubblewrap slip, then into a bubble envelope. Not one single scratch, ding, or nick. Well done!
Dropped an AW IMR 18650 into it, stuck on one of those new bottom-coil fillerless cartos, upped it to 4.4v and fired away. Yep...I was home.
I was a little
thrown off at first when trying to put the carto on due to the springy center pin but as time goes on I'm pretty certain that I'm going to be appreciating that more and more.
The thing is HEAVY - feels like it slightly outweighs my ProVari mini. And...I like that! And it just simply looks great. I do believe my top cap was not meant to come off, but I haven't tried too hard to see. Bottom cap
threaded up like a dream.
Happy camper here, so thanks Apollo!
