krashnash......well mail should be delivered at home...I think I'm feeling a little sick and might need to go home early:) Just kidding...it will have to wait until tonight...
Steve...thank you...that does help me out. I have the 1.5 dual coil and lr boge that I will start with and stay at 4v or under. I have ordered some boges that are suppose to be 2.7-3.0 to test at a little higher voltage if I like. Since all of my juices are organic 100%vg I don't figure they would do well above 4v anyway. New toys are always fun:)

Well I'm home...batteries are charging and am just trying to decide what juices to load up:) It took this little Iowa gal a minute to find the dial..but I'm on it now:) I shall report back later tonight or tomorrow once I have a chance to give it a ride...


Excited for you!

Keep us posted Iowa Gal.

For those of you watching this thread, I am working on 10 Foxy Custom Bottom Feeders. I am telling you folks. If you try one, it will become your main vape. Its easy to use. the battery, and bottle of juice both last over two days. I dont leave the house with anything but my bottom feeder now. As I build them, I will post photos. I am waiting on some buttons to get here to finish them. Watch for them over the weekend. If you have any questions about them, post them here. I also have batteries and chargers on their way so I will be able to offer them as complete kits for under $150

Awesome! Please share a photo of your blinged out mod. I love bling!




Godzilla all I can say is I LOVE my vv box...love the way it fits in my hand, love the pink led, love the way it takes my juice to a new level (even at 4 - 4.25) this is now my best friend and my KGOS are going to be very jealous:) Plan to bling it out a little...and could not be happier:)

I'm planning to order another Foxy Box soon and I am trying to decide if I should stick with the 3.7v or try the 5v.

Pros of sticking with 3.7:

1. I have a sizable collection of (1.5-1.7 ohm) Joye LR atties for my 3.7. Most of them are still going strong after months of use.

2. My "all-day" vape is Fireball. It's dark and thick. It's fantastic at 3.7 in a (fresh) LR atty. I don't know how it will taste at 5v.


Because Fireball is so thick, it gums up my atties quickly so I have to rotate and clean them frequently (which is why I have about 20. I store them in an alcohol bath until I get time to clean them which seems to work well).

Is this more of a problem or less at 5v?

I've been dying to try the 5v but I've heard that the thicker liquids don't do as well at higher voltage.

Any opinions?

My other favorite e-liquids are light fruity flavors, but I don't get a lot of flavor from them at 3.7v. If these lighter flavors do better at higher voltage, maybe I should carry my 3.7 loaded with Fireball and a 5v loaded with a fruity liquid.

What do you think?

I always have an opinion!

It sounds like you need a variable voltage. That way you can use all types of cartos. What's great is, you may find you like 5 volts on a 3.2 ohm carto but perhaps some juices may not like that much heat, so you can dial it down slightly below 5v to make that particular juice (and you) happy

That's my 2 cents

You know Steve, I think you are right! VV seems to be the way to go.

I prefer to direct drip with atty's. This seems to provide the best flavor and TH, IMHO.

Do you have some kind of chart listing the best ohm's to use at which voltage setting? Even if it's just opinion, it would give me somewhere to start.

Also, if I understand correctly, some settings will "blow out" an atty. For example, I believe I read that you can't use a 1.7 ohm LR atty at 5v. Is this true? Is there some sort of mathematical formula for understanding the extremes so I don't waste atty's?

The place I usually get my atty's from sells 4.6 to 4.7 ohm Joye HV 510 atty's. You ship 1 Boge 3.0 Ohm Cartomizer with the VV's. I'm trying to understand the Ohm thing.

Am I overthinking this? :blink:

Thanks! :vapor:

I should clarify that, I'm trying to figure out if 3.0 Ohm is considered a "midrange" while 4.7 Ohm would be best for "cranking it all the way to 11".

No, not really. Its good to know voltage ranges of the different ohm ratings. The HV attys are not in the below info, but I imagine using a 3.5 or even a 4 ohm atty could vape in the neighborhood of 6v

Since you are a big time dripper, dont you find it messy on a box mod? There is no juice cup, but if you give me a few days, I can build one with the juice well for you. The only issue is that you need a shorty extension if you are going to run tanks that sit flush with the bottom of the carto. If you are good at dripping, and use good quality attys, I know leaks are at a minimum, so you just need to let me know which way you prefer.

Here is the info I posted.

I imagine quite a few packages will hit some doorsteps today. I am not particularly happy about no Saturday deliveries any longer, but the bright side is I am still able to ship on Saturdays from the PO.

Iowa gal, that is the beauty of a vv. You can dial in according to your ohm rating on the carto or atty you are using.

Here is a rule of thumb for the different mods I sell, an my preferred set up (That does not mean there is not something better out there, so feel free anyone to add to this)

3.7v or my 3.7v bottom feeders:
My favorite for sure is the single coil 1.7 ohm cartos by smoktek.
1.5ohm dual coils, and 2.0 single coil cartos will also work.
1.5 to 2 ohm attys are also fine
2 ohm dual coil cartoss do not get warm enough in my opinion.

5v box mod, or 5v Foxy Custom
3.2 ohm smoketech cartos, likely my favorite setup
2 ohm dual coils a close second to my favorite setup
2.5 to 3.5 ohm attys

2 ohm single coils get way to hot IMO at 5v, and very few eliquids can even handle this heat. This is all my opinion and YMMV


VV box mod

At the 4v setting
1.5 dual coils
2 ohm single coils

At the 5v setting
3 to 3.2 ohm single coils
2 ohm to 2.5 ohm dual coils (2.5 dual coil was a little light for me)
2.5 to 3.5 ohm attys

Tanks can be used on my 3.7v, 5v, and VV mods, you just have to make sure you match your carto ohm rating with the voltage you are running.

Hope this info helps some of you

Steve

Here is a post I made the other day:

At 4.7 ohms, I imagine you could turn it all the way up to 7 volts (the highest setting) but you would have to test it out, depending on your juice

If you are good at dripping, and use good quality attys, I know leaks are at a minimum, so you just need to let me know which way you prefer.

Dripping can be messy, but I've got it down to an art form at this point so I rarely have leaks. IMO, it's worth the extra mess for the extra flavor. I don't vape much when I'm not at home, so it's not really an issue for me.

I don't know much about mods with juice wells. Sounds interesting, but like I said, I'm pretty comfortable with dripping. What are the advantages (other than not having to dig out a bottle of juice)?

I did have a leak one night, (I was watching a movie and double dripped). I didn't notice and left it sitting overnight and unfortunately it stained my pretty white Rave Mod (Foxy Box with color change LED). But accidents happen (especially around me, I've been told I could break an anvil).

Not too long after that I dropped it (again) and cracked it. Although it still works (thanks to Steve's superior craftsmanship), between the stain and the crack, it's not as pretty anymore. So, good excuse to get me a new one :D.

But, other than that one incident of discoloration (which would not have happened if I had payed attention), I don't really have any problem with dripping.

Do you have VV's in stock? I notice on your website that you can build white 3.7v and 5v, but you didn't mention VV's. Do you build VV's in white, or are they black only?

The juice well just collects any leaking juice that comes from dripping. Let me see if I can dig up a photo of one that I did with a drip well.

Here we go:

I also have black drip wells, and silver ones.

Oh, OK. Guess I misunderstood.

That would be handy! I think silver juice well on on a black mod would look nice.

I can certainly wait.

Ya, and as long as you use tanks (or use a 510 shorty extension with your tanks) you will be good to go. I wont charge extra, but I have to build one from scratch, so just PM me if you want the mod.

I have blue, green, pink, orange, red and yellow LEDs at the moment.

I would also need to know if you need the complete kit, or maybe just the mod and some batteries.

Mod is $38
2 batteries are $10
Shipping is $5.25

Cheers
