Hi folks - new around here at ECF and started vaping first of May. Ego-C starter kit, then pretty quick to stardusts. Loved the concept of the Vivi and had been (im)patiently hounding poor Tom asking for ETAs looking forward to try them.
So while holding out on an order waiting for the vivis I finally snapped on Wednesday night to pick up some Firebirds for the weekend (ship next day from Newmarket, arrive to me next day always). Of course, less than 24hours later 'poof' the vivis are in and time for a second order within 24hours, lol.
These 3ml Firebirds are pretty are pretty impressive. I had some threading probs with one of them where it doesnt seem to screw down properly to get a post connection to fire. One works on everything I have but the other only works on one of my ego batts I have (a twist) and one of my two 501-ego adapters I have for the LT. I pulled the pin (not connected to the metal air tube by the way and is only a few millimeters long - easy needlenose pliers pull and adjust) but that didnt work but at least didn't cause leaking. Not a big deal at all as it works fine on some of my equipment so its useable. I should mention that first time on the ego batt I pushed through a half turn of slight thread resistance/grind about 2/3 on, but pressed through ...maybe cleaned up a slight alignment issue.
I sense a dilemma -- these firebirds are darn good and taste great -- and I also have a set of vivis with parts that should arrive Monday. Not sure which will win now, but it is refreshing to have two great products (trusting mopars good experience and the vivis dont suck) back to back. Also tucked a couple SD2.0s in with my viva order for fun

SDs were the only positive ce-X experience I had had prior. Tried two stone3s and hated them with no taste and tried a variety of techniques, but couldn't get them working properly...suspect the wick material is crummy and will just wait to work with the vivis if I have to DIY any rewicking for flavour.
Preaching to the masses of course here but Canvape has an evangelist customer in me as I convert the family and friends. Sweet prices, quick to get new technology...and I love that I can high-five an order at night and it will ship the next day and arrive the following.
Anyway - hi everyone - and a big thanks to mopar in general. Appreciate your discussions -- the forum is a big help as I dont really have any realworld vape-buddies except for my newly converted family members who look to ME for tech support, ha....Im sure many others are in the same position.
Have a nice weekend everyone.
