It's everything you said and then some..I love it. But I keep getting head rushes so I think I'm gonna make my next batch of juice 18mg. 24 is too much for me in this, I guess I'm a wimp =)Glad you finally received yours pixie. Is it everything I said?
Enjoy.
I just want to toss this out there, regarding packing a "to-go kit." I went to my local tobacco store and bought a $1 roll-your-own cigarette case. It's hard plastic and it holds a battery and 2 6ml bottles perfectly. I can even squeeze in another atty if I wanted. It's not a bad idea, in case you want to drip a different flavor at some point in the day. Could instead carry another filled 3ml bottle and a spare atty for a real flavor change in the middle of the day.
Whatever you carry, I really like the hard plastic cigarette case because it does a great job at carrying the extras and keeps them well-protected in my pocket. Also, obviously, it's only the size of a pack of cigarettes, and most of us know we can fit one of those somewhere on us for transport.
Just thought I'd pass that along.

My order went in yesterday for a dark blue 5V regular. (I thought I'd cross the "first mod" threshold before approaching the bottom feeder one...) batteries and charger also ordered. Am waiting excitedly.
We had a problem with a mod melting down due to the use of unprotected batteries...I would like everyone to know that protected batteries not only protect you, but also the mod if a short occurs.
Our policy is not to replace a mod that has damage due to the use of unprotected batteries or battery. If you use unprotected batteries it is at your own risk and I do not recommend the use of unprotected batteries at any time.

I love my 'old goat' mod, but I'm confused about this policy. Was the purchaser of the mod that melted down told what kind of batteries to buy? If not- I think he's entitled to some kind of consideration. I have protected batteries, but not because anyone told me to get them- I just happened to have gotten two of them from one of those 'mystery bags' that I ordered...
Yes on the website it states what type of battery each mod uses 14500 protected battery, 14250 protected battery, 18650 protected battery, they are all protected. I placed the post so everyone knows how important it is to use protected batteries.
There is only one exception and that is the big 3.7 volt..it can use cr123 unprotected batteries for a 6 volt vape, but that is at your own risk...I vape 6 volts with it, but you need to be aware of what can happen.
We did offer to make a new mod for this customer at a discounted price. We always try to make things right with our customers and will continue to do so.
Thanks Old Goat Mods
Heres the customers side of the story.
I was never told of this policy. I already owned the unprotected batteries, I was going to order a REO Grand, but couldn't afford it. Most places on this forum suggest using aw imr 18650 batteries, they are what is known as a safe chemistry battery. I went in search of a mod to fit the batteries that I already owned. If I had been told of his policy, I would not have ordered the mod. Let me repeat that.
IF HE HAD TOLD ME OF THE POLICY I WOULD NOT HAVE ORDERED THE MOD FROM HIM!
I ordered on the 17th, and paid on the same day. I received the mod on the 29th, I put my battery in it, turned it on, I had a Boge cartomizer in it that I had been using with my ego, I pushed the button to VAPE, there was a short in the mod that caused the battery to drain too fast, and ot fried the mod. I immediately emailed Zach and told him what happened, and I was told of their "policy", I had never heard of it before, so let me repeat it one more time.
They sold me a big box mod for $70, I received the mod, there was a short in the mod, it is DOA, I emailed them, they told me tough! But we will give you a discount on a replacement mod!
Why would I give them good money after bad? They screwed me, why would I ask them to do it again?
That is what happened.
I have talked to some other people that make mods, and they told me that it sounds like a protected battery would have had the same outcome, but it would have taken longer then the immediate reaction that I encountered.
I have e mailed the mods on the forum to see if they can help out at all, and I was waiting for them to reply to ke before I said something. But I just wanted y'all to know my side of the story, before you handed them over another penny.
I am going to complain to pay pal and see if that will help me out, but I'm going to wait till I hear from the forum moderators before I talk to paypal.

In This statement Oldgoat said that there is a short in my mod, that is the problem that I have.
He even admits that there was a short in my mod, and he won't make it right. All he offered was a discount on a second mod. Not to fix the mod that he admitted had a short in it, not to replace the mod, and he said they never give refunds. I NEVER VAPED WITH THIS MOD BECAUSE IT WAS DEFECTIVE WHEN I RECEIVED IT!!

Agian we will offer you a replacement mod at a discounted price...with the damage you discribe I feel it would be better and safer to replace the mod.

There are literally Dozens of OldGoats mod's in use. Why do all these customers use protected batteries? - Because it's all over the ECF forums and on OldGoats web site.
If I used unprotected batteries in a mod and it shorted, I sure as heck could not blame the mod or the builder.

If you go back and re read the post you linked, I followed what they recomended. I used safe chemistry batteries, otherwise known as aw imr, batteries.
It says to use protected batteries, OR...........
What it lists as the r is the type of battery I am using, that whole post talks about the release of chemicals, or the batteries actually exploding, not the batteries working as designed.
The mod that I received had a short in it when it arrived. He even admitted that in two posts now.
I followed the advice I had received on the forum regarding what batteries to use, thanks for linking to that though. It says what I have been saying.

i just re read what you linked, and at the bottom of the post in RED it states that the batteries that I am using ARE THE SAFEST BATTERIES, AND THE BEST CHOICE AT THIS TIME.
So the batteries I am using are RECOMENDED IN THE ARTICLE!!!
I AM USING AW IMR 18650 batteries.
The problem is that THE MOD IS DEFECTIVE FROM WHEN IT SHIPPED, AND IM S.O.L!
Ron, please let me know how you want to handle replacing the broken battery door I received. I realize you are pretty busy and that this is probably a low priority since the mod still functions. Just don't want to get lost in the fray. Thanks.

That sucks man!
BTW, you mention you talked to others and they said protected batteries would have done the same thing. I thought that the protection circuit is supposed to prevent a high drain situation if there were a short, at least that's my understanding.
Which part of the mod fried if you don't mind my asking...and was your battery that you were using still ok?
Good luck with all this!
