Ovale V8 VV discussion!

[bivie]

I don't get why all PV's must be shiny metal or black...hehe. Don't you think a pink and a blue one will go nicely with my collections?

Didn't they have anything in pink?

Bringin' up an old post here to ask you what that red mod is - second one in from the
right with the red drip tip? Is that a Rough Stack? If so, how do you like it?

And the one along the bottom that is lying down. You have a chastity belt on it?

By the way, mine got here today - the purchase and the bonus freebie.

As everyone has been saying, it puts out an unbelievable hit. It demands some
respect, to be sure. I'm using a 1.8 ohm atty right now, but the next build is
going to have to be a bit higher.

And - as someone said, it burns through a heap o' juice in a hurry.

I have carto tanks and clearos I'm gonna try on it, but sheesh - I'm vaping on
it at 3.1 volts, and it's a great hit, but it dries that atty real quick. Touch and
go vaping - that's what it is.

On the non-resistance checker model, it's easy to turn off. The one that has
the resistance checker, though, doesn't seem to want to turn off. I'll play with
it later, but I did the usual stuff. The very in depth manual (smirk) says to hold
the button for 5 seconds. That obviously doesn't work. They might be trying to
say to hold it down until your fry your atty, and then it won't fire on you. I also
try 5 quick taps on the power button, which did not turn it off. It did turn the
one off with no ohm checker on it. Did I miss something - was I not holding my
mouth right?

So, this (these) is (are) my second box/grip mods. The first one was 'the' Gripper-
the one that goes for around $15-20, and I like it, but I LOVE these. I never
would have dreamed it months ago, but this is a game changer for me. I see
fewer tube mods and more of these; mechanical and VV.

On the V8+ tap the power button 5 times at a medium quick rate. Not rapid fire. If it's still not off try one more tap. That shouls do it.

Yes...it hits like a freight train. And BE CAREFUL...with the shiny one if you change the battery the device defaults to a whopping 5 volts! Also be careful...it's easy to click over to 6 volts if vaping at 3v.

I find I'm actually vaping a bit less with these...they're such good hitters I'm not puffing constantly or pulling as hard as with some PVs.

Enjoy!

I actually ended up with two black ones, but one is older without the ohm
reader, and the other has it. On that one, when I take a hit, it shows a
number like 8, sometimes 7.8, etc. On the older model, it shows the voltage
at which I have it set. I haven't figured out the difference, yet.

I called the vendor before I ordered. He said when I get the 510/eGo adapter
to through it away cuz that's what caused the shorts. I put it on my Vamo
and it shows no short. Anyone else have an issue with the adapter causing
the short?

In the morning, I will try to turn the new one off the way you say, fourthrok.
Thanks.

Okay...I had assumed that none of AVTs older models were black rubberized, but that they all were shiny black. The older ones don't have the ohm checker. When you vape, the voltage you set the device for shows...i.e. 3.1 or whatever setting you are using. There is no way to tell voltage remaining in the battery...but the display will flash Lo when it's needing a charge.

The newer model with ohm checker displays the battery power level available when you push the power button. Divide the number by 2...because there are 2 batteries.

The adapter that was screwed onto the spare V8 (one with no hole on the bottom) is the "good" adapter. I really am not convinced the shorts were caused by any adapter, however. The one in the kit box (with the hole in it) looks like my old adapters I had on hand. Don't really know if those are okay because I use carto tanks and don't need them.Personally...I'd keep both adapters...never know when they might come in handy on somehing else. Just use the newer model one on the V8.

The newer model...with ohm checker..is the one that is a bit trickier to turn off...but you'll get a feel for it quick enough.

Very helpful, fourthrok. I thank you so much. It might never have dawned on me
that the number I was seeing was remaining power divided by two.

I stuck that adapter - the one thought to be bad - on my Vamo and checked it
for a short. There wasn't one. I read on another vendor's site that the short had
been fixed in the new model. It didn't say anything about the adapter, so I don't
know. But, I agree with you - put it aside for something else and use the one that
was attached in the package. I'm glad you mentioned that because he told me to
throw the other one away. Reasoning told me they would not have put the other
one on if it caused a problem, but now I know for sure.

For your gracious help, I wish you many happy vape sessions.

Can someone tell me do the batts that come w/ the kit come completely drained? I just got my kit in the mail and have nothing to smoke while I wait for the batts to charge...the light is red but is it like ego's where they come 90% charged or will I have to wait 5 hours??

 

[darkhood]

btw it's a lot smaller than I thought it was gonna be! Very cool looking little device...I WAN SMOKE IT

I think I snatched up the last 2 for 1 deal on Arizona vapor trails, with the discount code it came to $32 shipped cant wait to try it out and see how it compares to my LavaTube!

 

[darkhood]

Also the guy sent me 2 510 to ego adapter, 1 sealed and 1 not, I'm assuming the sealed one is ok to use and the other is the one that caused the shorts but can anyone confirm that? thx in advance for any help.

Nvm, just read fourthrok's post up there...

I got the 2nd to last Awesome deal

So...took an hour to charge. This thing's a beast for sure but I got a couple issues. Not rly a big deal but the ohm checker def doesn't work, says everything is 2.2 ohms regardless of what I attach and when take a hit it displayed random numbers from 7.2 to 8.8...doesn't matter it hits great so I'm happy

When you put a carto or atty on the Ovale V8 to check the resistance, push the fire button briefly before taking the Ohms reading.

still says 2.2...also what's w/ the random numbers when firing? is it just mine or do they all do this?

Hmm...interesting on the resistance readings. Are they different types of cartos and known to be of different values?

The reading when pushing the fire button represents the combined voltage of the two batteries. That will change under drain. By unscrewing the carto a little, so it's not making contact, you can read the full value. Mine is currently flickering between 7.4 and 7.5 Volts. When I screw my atty back in and push the button in drops down to about 7.0 and steps through 7.2 and 7.1 on the way there. It actually flickers between 7.0 and 7.1. The batteries take a few moments to recover to 'near' their unloaded voltage after a drain has been on them. Also, the 'brains' of the mod may take a second or two to compute the voltage.

In any event, the voltage goes down under drain and may do so over a couple of seconds and likewise in recovering. Flickering between two voltages may just be a computational matter. These two characteristics may be at play at the same time.

I noticed you mentioned a reading of 8.8 Volts. Was that actual, or just a supposed voltage?

Ah well that at least makes sense...actually it said 8.0 not 8.8 my mistake, now it says between 7.5 and 8.0 consistently so that works at least lol. I attached a 1.8ohm atty, a 2.4 ohm vivi nova, a 2.8ohm vivi and a joyetech LR atty and they all read as 2.2ohms...

 

[darkhood]

Like I said though the thing hits like a deranged circus elephant so I'm happy

 

[darkhood]

Wonder how accurate it is w/ what it's supposedly putting out though...probably not very lol. I dunno I like it glitches and all, gives it character... Also I rly love the instructions... "drop the clearomizer in the drips then drop fire big push button...rly? lol

I've no answer for that other than perhaps 'Free' is appropriate. The atty on mine (self-wound coil) measures 2.9 on the Ovale and 2.9 with an external Ohm meter.

my favorite is "the v8 does not need a tissue. just counterclockwise take off drop tips and clockwise the drop tips, the v8 makes refilling easier." "there is a show-how as follows" (shows pic of a guy holding a v8 lol). awesome.
