I'll still call it the eGo VV/VW. LOL i wish I could have been there to see you hula hoop. ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I told Andrew to make you do it if he thought you could. Glad you like it man. I offered to sell mine back to him but he was gonna wait. I got a Provari coming sometime when they get it shipped. I thought you might like Andrew and Sara. I took the graphs down today when I went. I gave him a :thumbs: on it. It's not the best quality I've had but it ain't bad either. If you want a rush crank it up to 15 watts and see how your head goes :evil: Glad the trip wasn't a waste of time. Like I said before they only got a few juices I like but the people their make it all worth while. BTW how many hoops did you do?

I didn't even notice that part, about holding it down for 10 seconds. I just switched it over to average (num 2). Wow, seem to get a lot more vape that way. That's pretty awesome.

I did 3 hulas :) I tried it a second time for fun, but didn't do any better lol Andrew and Sara were pretty great though. Very good people. I do like being able to go from mini to max mode by adding in the tube. I tried my regular vivi no and didn't get any air through it either, but I figured it's just cause I'd set it aside for so long and hadn't used it, that it wasn't making any vapor. I soaked it in some hot water and let it dry, but I figured I'd killed it. I might try it on my adapter and see how it works. But yeah, I didn't buy any batteries when I bought my gripper as I wanted to take it to a local store first and try their batteries to make sure they worked, as people were complaining about batteries not fitting, and I didn't have any ecig batteries yet. Just my egos. These don't have a brand name, just colored red 1800 mah made in china batts. I bought a 2000 mah efest button top IMR from okcvapes and the dude there said he wouldn't use a protected battery in it anyway, he prefers IMR. I'm not a big fan of one or the other anyway, so I got an IMR to try it out. 200 more mah than my flat tops anyway. I think I could use a button top 18350 too, as the flat top I'm using that I got from the flavor vapor store seems to be a bit loose too. Not so much that it loses connection like the flat top 18650s though. Ok, off to do some shopping with the fiancée. I may be back later tonight.

Actually on mine you have to hold down the- and + button at the same time to switch modes. I'm afraid that people are getting confused about what GiMike and I have. It was first called an Itube but that didn't work out when I started searching for it. Finally I got the best discription form Health Cabin on what it was.

I can't speak for the others but this is what best describes ours. Hope Mike will agree. After all these are the instructions I used and then found out it was exactly what the B/M had that I forgot to get. Hey I'm a guy I don't need no stinking instructions!!!!!!!!!! LOL.

Tried a Vivi Mini and no airflow, need an adapter.

Try unscrewing it just a tiny bit. I've only used cartos tanks on mine when I started but when I did try a vivi nova it worked just fine with no problems. I've even tried a few stardust and no probs yet.

I thought that was to change voltage to wattage.

Average setting is what the Zmax crowd call "beast" mode - if you were using 18350's with the V1 Zmax it would deliver 13 watts with some atty's/cartos - and that was when wattage was set to 3 watts.

I didn't see the point of it myself, just a great way to kill your carto quicker and give you that "lovely" burnt taste.

On mine you press both buttons to change modes. mode 1 is vv and mode 2 is vw.

The 10 second + press is to change the voltage/wattage to and from average and VRMS.

It's to do with Pulse Width Modulation, in average mode what you set isn't what you get.
For example, whilst the average is 3 volts - actual delivered voltage maybe anything up to 4.5 volts.

This explains it to a certain degree;


VRMS actually gives you very accurate voltage and it makes this device a "game changer" in my opinion.

Actually he was correct on that. If you hold down both the + and - buttons, you switch between VV and VW. If you hold the + button for 10 seconds, it switches between a num 1 and a num 2, which I'm guessing is the RMS and average features.

Brought it to work. I'll check that out as soon as I get a chance. to.

So I presume you guys are using this in "RMS" mode?

I'm not 100% sure the all the versions switch from average to VRMS - apparently if you press the + key for 10 seconds, the no.1 option is RMS and 2 is average mode.

Ok my bad I went back and read a bit more. I want no1 for the RMS setting and not no2 correct me if I'm wrong. I'd like to run it in the RMS mode where I get what I set it at.
