i got a vapemate (in fact planning on using it on my Provari)... because it is not a bottom feeder.
imo bottom feeding leaves something to be desired... too much juice lots of times but mostly because dripping is a better vape imo...
dripping is top feed; right on the wick mostly.. taste is better.
the VM is a top feed.. but you're right too... there are a lot of variables in how you get the juice through the VM to the atty, and how much... (overdripping/flooding is a PIA)
the Provari has a sweet juice well; lots of room.
I haven't even put my VM on it yet because i like to drip using my 1/2oz bottle/needle set up from racers-edge.com or my defunct wetbox.
Lots of folks are loving the VM... and getting the right amount; some using a tube mod in the bottle so you don't have to turn it ....

Have to think about the VapeMate, but I appreciate the tip!
I did see one at a get together with other So. Cal vapers, and wasn't that impressed. It just seemed like a hassle, having to turn the entire device upside down, not knowing exactly when enough juice reaches the atty, etc. The guy who broght it had just received his, and while demoing... it dripped all over the place. He had to keep wiping up juice that had leaked out (but I do realize they've now come out with different/better bottles).
I guess I compared it to my Ali'i. On the Ali'i, there's no guesswork necessary. Simply squeeze the bottle, the juice goes up the tube, and you can see when juice starts to escape from the bottom of the atty. As soon as you see juice coming out of the holes in the bottom of the atty, you stop squeezing, and it's done.
Also, with the Ali'i, you hold it right side up, so you don't have to worry that if you DO send too much juice to the atty, that it'll drip down onto your cloths, or whatever.
Could be I'm making a bigger deal about dripping with the VapeMate, but again, I'm comparing it to what I know and what I use, which is the Ali'i.
I still may decide to pick one up, once the ProVari arrives. LOVE SuperT, they are an excellent company!
Again, thanks for the tip!
and ya those things look pretty cool
