They do vape great. It's such an easy, effortless vape. I really like it. I've got a 510 on one and a 306 on the other right now. As far as the lights, I've always been a no frills pv. But personally, I'm finding I like the light on this and glad I ordered it with one. I understand the need for stealth vaping, but the light just adds a new, fun, "light" touch to it. :)

"on the road with the old goat" my old goat got a work out today, I had to drive from NV to California to drop a car off then rent a car and drive straight back..so all told about 8 hours of driving. OG was great! Much better than messing with clearomizers, or tanks, or any of that stuff. I loaded up a bottle with KBV Auntie M's coffee and hit the road. with a lr 306 atty and a cannon drip tip this mod just knocks your socks off, and with the KBV juice (which is 60/40) the vapor was so thick I could hardly see (no kidding, I had to open the car window.) My battery lasted almost all day..but when I tried to change it while driving the fresh one fell on the floor somewhere so I had to use my almost dead one until I got home.

The mod is great, if anyone has trouble with leaking, try the 306 and cannon tip, you can see what's hitting the atty when you squeeze the bottle, after you do it a few times you don't even need to look anymore, but it's helpful to a newb who is unsure of when/ how hard to squeeze. As a rule of thumb I squeeze the bottle fairly hard, but quickly and that's good for about 6-8 draws. If you 'over squeeze' just leave the mod upright for a few minutes and the excess will run back down.

So it was a long drive but old goat made it tolerable...I love the mod, if there is a 'next revision' I would like to see two things, but they certainly don't impair my enjoyment of the mod as it is: 1) the switch that activates the atty is so sensitive that I have to turn the mod off unless it's in my hand, if it barely touches anything it fires- I think a switch that requires a bit more pressure, or even if the same switch was used but was recessed below the surface of the box, I wouldn't have to be so careful about it firing all the time. 2) if the hole for squeezing the bottle was a little lower I could get more out of the bottle before changing it...this might be a problem only for me because I have had several hand surgeries and have very little strength in my hands; but it just seems that if I could squeeze the bottle more toward the bottom of it I could use it until it was almost empty- as it is I have to change it when it's still about 1/3 full.

Thanks to Ron for making me such a pretty mod, I'm very happy with it =)

so ive been vaping hard on my 3.7v bottomfeeder for a few days now and the thing is awesome. i have not had one single issue with it, its solid, not a leak or anything, but i have heard a few people mention leaking. one thing i have noticed, is that when i fill the bottle with juice and put the feed tube/cap back on, juice starts coming out of it right away, this could cause some juice to get on the inside of your box if you dont get it in in time. what i figured out is if i put the feeder tube up through the top and into the atty first, then slide the bottle onto it, it solves that problem, maybe thats what some people are considering a leak. ive been running 14500 trustfires in this thing so far, theyre good until about halfway through the charge then performance drops. i just ordered 14500 AW IMR's, well see how it performs with those.

DO NOT USE THEM in your mod. You will void your warranty. Protected batteries are the only ones Ron approves for use in his mods.
The best you can get would be AW Protected 14500 AA ( 750 mAH ) They will outperform the others I assure you.

damn, too late, already ordered them. i dont think you can buy protected high drain batteries, correct?

Yes you can buy protected aw batteries they are black and silver.

Read another mod...NOT MINE...starts with an R...shorted out due to the use of unprotected batteries. AW high drain batteries might be safer for the person, but not the mod.

Actually, the AW Li-ions (black/silver label) won't outperform the AW IMRs (red label), but if the mod maker says don't use them, it's one of those at-your-own-risk scenarios.

This was a reference to the Trustfires he's using not the IMR's.
As far as I know, there is no such thing as "high drain" protected batteries.
Rest assured you can list the ones you bought and sell them in a snap in the classys

Aw imr's work great, you'll love them. You will void your warranty, but they are the safest batteries that are made, and recommended by the forum.

The battery might be chemically safe, but what about the high heat that is produced when the battery discharges fast or shorts out...in a plastic mod I would have to say it could be a fire risk as well with wood or any other combustible material. I would think metal would get extremely hot, might not burn, but could get hot enough to cause a burn to the skin.

Is a little bit of extra voltage to your atty worth the risk.:?:

Thanks Ron Old Goat

This is exactly correct, although i would rather replace a mod than have a prosthetic arm !!

Thats a little extreme I did a google search and could not find any thing such as losing a limb from lithium batteries...if there is such a high risk they wouldn't use them in everything and I mean everything, including mods.

Scare tactics?

Got my new 3.7 bottomfeeder 2 days ago. I haven't put it down, it rocks. Great workmanship!!!

They are pretty amazing little mods, aren't they. Having never had anything other than a regular 3.7v pv using a carto, I wasn't sure getting another 3.7v pv would make much difference. Just having a bottom feeding pv was all I figured I'd be getting.
But what a difference pv's can be. Even without using a LR510, the mod hit more than my 3.7v MK Screwdriver.

Glad you like it as much as all us other owners.:thumb:

I would weather use a battery that will "fail safe" instead of a battery that could under the perfect conditions emit fire, or deadly gas. If something goes wrong with my aw imr batteries, the spring will collapse like it did before, causing the battery to lose contact with the mod, causing the battery not to drain any more. What if something does go wrong with the circuit on a protected battery, the chemistry in that battery can cause bodily harm.
I would weather replace a $70 mod, then have anything happen to my person from a battery that can catch on fire, or emit gasses that are deadly. In the thread on this forum that talks about batteries, that has been linked to on the previous pages, it says that these problems have happened to the people moderating the forum, and concludes that at this time the SAFEST TYPE OF BATTERY THAT IS FOR SALE CURRENTLY IS THE AW IMR LINE.
I would wrather replace a battery, and mod any day, then have fire, and/or deadly gasses. Wouldn't you? If there is a short in the mod, of caused from an atty, or caused from a conector, the spring will collapse from the heat. That is a safety feature, it is built in to your mod, by you. It might not have been built there intentiouly, but you did build that safety feature into your mod. Thank you. Had that not happened before to my mod, then yes the battery would have continued to have gotten hotter, up to and possibly including melting the mod. If the circuit fails to stop a protected battery from doing the same thing, you could also have a fire from the battery to deal with. That is why I will always use a safe chemistry battery in all of my mods.
That is the safest type of battery made today, maybe tomorrow there will be another option out there, but so far that is the best we have.

Ron, That is so wrong on so many levels AND YOU KNOW IT!

The short was caused by sticking a multimeter lead into the connector and firing it. To imply that: 1) the mod that "starts with an R" is likely to short out AND 2) that the short was caused by the SAFEST batterys available, is just nasty and irresponsible.
