I am an "rda guy", so I get it. But to your point, I will try and refill one pod (for my juul) and keep rocking it to see howl long it lasts. I got 2 on one so far. I will keep it going. But know that (obliviously) I am not solely vaping on the Juul, so I will count refills as opposed to time.

p.s. Did you see my little terrible video of the way this thing puts out? I am all kinds of in awe. It has it flaws, but damn it has some strength!
I saw the 1st one you did & the 2nd with someone actually modding the cap but those hands in that vid didn't look like yours. Was that you? :pop:

I just checked out the Mystic site. After I saw the price of those pods, I became very thankful for all the juice I have on hand. I did not pay anywhere near $19.99 for 10 mls for my stash. Of course you are getting a new atomizer with each pod, but still, I will pass for now.

And here I remember having to spend one night a week cleaning cartomizers, then the next night filling cartomizers, after they'd dried, just so I could get seven to ten uses out of them.
We were told then they were a one use item.
Nothing is truely disposable, it's a matter of how creative you want to get.
I'm glad I wasn't taught by many people now how things are.

Can't wait to read all the ecf posts of folks who started with these and weren't happy/felt they were ripped off and want advice about what to get (if anything else is available, which I believe it will be whether bl market, ebay or wherever.)

These devices have come a LONG way from the beginning. Oliver (Smokey Joe) has been using a XOLO for a while and he can't say enough great things about it. POD systems are the wave of the future. Expect to see a lot more of them.

@Mr.Mann started a pod mod thread & one of these mods (Mistic 2.0) uses a 10ml snap-in tank but I somehow like the fact that a few popular juice vendors (5P, Bearded Vape, Cuttwood & maybe 2 or 3 others) are selling their juice in pods for the Cync.

They're doing PODs for the XOLO as well.

Funny you should ask this. JC West used to be huge in vaping; especially the HEM crowd. I saw his replies in someone else's comment section (Youtube) where he stated these systems are the future of vaping & several people agreed.

I only saw one thing that really turned me off when I compare it to what I am currently using - The Price...

You know, that really is terrific because it'll keep those juice makers in business but allow me to ask you, if other juice vendors get onboard the pod-mod train, are they still required to submit PMTA's for the eliquid in those pods?

I'm not sure how that will work. Yes, they'll have to submit PMTAs, but I don't know if a "one size fits all" submission works or not. I would think, however, if the e-liquid is approved, it wouldn't matter if it was sold in a pod or bottle. But then again, we're talking about the government here so anything is possible.

I am no good at video. This is kinda how I do it (I just use my fingers) and a razor blade to cut in for airfllow.


Have you tried refilling it and have you had issues with leaking if you have refilled it? The reason I'm asking is that some of us bought a JUUL last year when they first came out and there was a pretty lengthy discussion from the participants on that thread of the pros and cons, etc. 1 guy on that thread was determined to hack it and rebuild the coil and refill it. But he had issues with leaking. I can't remember if the leaking issues were related to just simply refilling it or because he was also trying to rebuild the coil.

Ok, I will say it. Most of them look ugly! If they had some pretty colors for the girls, I might be more interested. The colors and shapes of most of them, not all, look "manly" to me. Give me my pretty ISticks and VTC minis and beautiful Provaris please!

Yes, I have had leaking when I refilled...yeap, it's vape gear! Ha! I settled on anywhere from 30/70 to 70/30 pg/vg for the liquid, and I don't fill it up too high. Also, I set the pod on a tissue for a few seconds after putting the cap on. I realized I was just rushing the process...like I was being timed.

Now I make sure all parts are dry before assembling it back (and I make sure that rubber stopper is perfectly in place), and I also use cotton and a pic to dry down inside the connector of the battery before putting the new-filled pod back in.

No leaking. It's not a workhorse obviously. For sneak vapes and in a pinch, it's great (though it's STUPID small! It will get lost.)

Oh...how in the hell would someone rebuild these? LOL. Some folk are relentless!

I'm pretty sure he gave up on the rebuilding after he really got down into it. But I do like to watch people puzzle out this stuff for the rest of us. Thanks for the leaking info too. One guy ruined his battery from a pod leaking so I want to avoid that since I'm no longer willing to purchase vape equipment. So, I'll use up all my pods before I try.
