I wasn't saying it was bad, but maybe add the GV in front of it or something cuz if you're gonna tell some one about it, you want them to come here to the right place. They might not get the same juice flavor if they went some wheres else :unsure:

Very good point, and I prefer whenever possible to be accurate.

Well Ill keep my first review short and sweet. The cherry eliquid is frankly, horrendous. Im not a fan of PG and I usually make my own 100%vg juice. So with that caveat you can definitely taste that stale pg kind of tang in the liquid. Worse than that the cherry itself is like a cough syrup cherry. Its not flavorful, not sweet, and just plain not good.

The c9 rba I havent been able to try. I did put a wick in the post, primed it, fired it... and nothing. the coil was fried on reciept. Im a fan of the ego c setup and love the idea of this tank. The build quality is excellent except for the fact that the base of the unit is somehow warped by the 510 connector which causes the unit to appear wobbly when you screw it down. although it does ao without a problem... its just not straight. its crooked vertical screwed in... on every battery I have. So maybe the machining needs to be addressed. They should be wicked and coiled far better, including the stem imo.

There was no extra wicks and coils left for these when I ordered mine so as soon as I buy some Ill revisit this unit. It has potential with modifications at the factory.

So I received the CE9 and was excited... and then I couldn't get it to wick.. tried and tried and it doesn't wick very well. It looks really nice, it's really small, but all in all not the best rebuildable experience I've had. I would say the design needs work
I also tried all ten of the juices.
cherry: didn't really like, tasted bland and sort of like cherry chapstick, a bit perfumey, not sweet enough.
peach: very sweet and strong. tasted like peach-o's. liked it a lot.
watermelon: this was delicious! it tastes like a candy watermelon, very crisp. liked a lot. would like it more if it were sweeter and a bit stronger.
fruit punch: like the cherry, bland. not a very strong flavor and not very sweet. didn't like.
chocolate: tasted like vaping water with flavoring, smelled like choco chap stick. didn't like.
menthol: very very strong menthol. not that sweet at all. one of the better menthol flavors I've had.
tobacco usa mix: mildly sweet, could be sweeter. I liked it pretty well, extra sweetener would be nice. nice blend of flavors.
tobacco cigar: tastes just like plain tobacco flavor, not a huge fan of plain but it would be good for those who are.
tobacco golden virginia: a little stronger flavor than the usa mix, other than that it tastes about the same with not as good flavor. still liked it.
tobacco state express: i didn't care for it, it was too bitter for me.

Weehoo... My very first Alpha review!

1) Apollo E2 6ml tank... Really like it, except the base. It's easy to over-tighten and being smooth, not so easy to unscrew. Would really love it with a knurled base, especially considering it may have prevented me from unscrewing the tank portion and dumping 4ml of my fave juice all over my lap and my iTaste MVP. Sigh. Still some juice left in there so I'm waiting until it's empty to try removing the tank again. With knurled base, I'd definitely buy more/recommend it.

2) Vision "Menthol" liquid. I love this juice. I'm definitely getting the double mint/spearmint flavor that everyone else has mentioned. Excellent flavor. I'm also noticing a bit of gum flavor aftertaste to it, kind of like when your piece of gum starts fading out. Vaping in a Vision Nano clearomizer (love this thing!) @3.3v on a Spinner. I don't know if anyone else has noticed a gummy aftertaste to this one. Strangely enough, I find it compliments it, adding a note of autheniticy. I would love this in an 11 or 12mg.

3) Vision Watermelon: This one has potential. Reminiscent of a jolly rancher. It has a great smell to it. I had high hopes. Then I vaped it. It seemed really weak on flavor to me, or maybe just too strong on the nic. I think with a bit more flavoring in it, it would be great and would be one of my go-to all day vapes. I've never vaped a fruit flavor, so for being my first, it was not bad. Just needs a bit of a tweak for me.

4) Vision Fruit Punch: Honestly, on first vape, I really do not like this one. Has a waxy/perfumey taste. Heavy smell of pineapple. I think I was simply expecting more of a Hawaiian Punch flavor. I'm going to let this sit a day or so uncapped and see if the flavor improves.

I still have cherry, peach, and chocolate to try.

Yep, I get the gum thing too :)

Tesla Review: (Jumping the gun as it is listed as a future possible ALPHA)

Pictures - IMGUR Album

Ok I know I posted pics up earlier as kind of a teaser. I have used the device on and off for about a week and a half. This thing is pretty awesome. The OLED is nice very easy to read and use. Changing Voltages / Wattage is also very easy as well. Hits pretty close to my provari when I set the same voltages as well. The center pin is on a spring so breaking this mod is going to be pretty tough at least at the connector.

So going over the menu it is pretty simple. Hold + for 8 Seconds... (8 seconds should be shorter...) Have 3 options. Use + to change beween and then - to select. You can change Voltage or Wattage output, LCD Display when Firing and then the last option LCD on or off when firing. Out of the menu Holding + will show OHM of the Attached device while holding - will show Voltage Remaining. Pretty easy stuff.

Build quality is a mixed bag for me. The device is no doubt solid, the 3x vents that go down the side are kinda overkill and I think if you were to run it over without a battery in it then it could crush or break as now there are 3 legs instead of a solid tube. They do flex with a lot of pressure but barely and it takes a lot to do it. The cap is also vented at the bottom. No real "quality" issues just more precautions. This thing is MASSIVE compared to all the tube mods I have so SIZE is something to consider with this mod.

As far as Cons, So far I really don't have any. I love the feel of it even though it is pretty big, It doesn't really leave the house so no real travel issues. All in all this thing is pretty awesome and I recommend it for GV / Alpha Testing

Oh Yeah Edit: :facepalm: How it vapes.... With cartomizers I used on my ProVari and then the Tesla it was pretty close, Maybe just a bit weaker but hardly noticeable. Ran Vivi novas with no problem and got similar vapor production to my ProVari as well. The floating spring pin is pretty awesome as you can fully torque and no worrys of breaking the device.
