Questions about P18

[D4rk50ul]

I'm in the market for a mod and I've narrowed it down to the Precise. I'm new to vaping but a junkie already, and I want a quality no BS style PV. I use an eGo at the moment and I'm not really wanting to go High voltage. If someone can answer a few questions and maybe provide a size comparison photo I'd appreciate it.

I'm planning on using 510 compatible atty's and I switch between carts/drip.

Other than high voltage, whats the battery life difference between the P16 and the P18 running at 3.7v?

Are there any issues with the draw using 510's?

Does liquid ever get into the battery compartment?

How much maintenance does it require to retain optimal performance, and what do I need to perform it?

Is there anything on it considered a wear part? If so how long is the typical life and are replacement parts available?

Does anyone have a pic of the Precise line next to a standard 510, or an Ego for size reference?

Finally, how long is the typical delivery time from finalized order? Also can you ship to Hawaii?

Thanks for any or all information you can offer up, I'm really trying to make my first mod purchase my last.

In reading your post, i'd recommend the Precise 16340 with regular or LR atomizers.

When using AW batteries, Expect 6-8 hours on the Precise 16340 with moderate to heavy vaping, 2-3 times that on the Precise 18650.

The design makes it appear as though the atomizer bottoms out, but it doesn't theres actually about a .040 gap under the atomizer for air to flow in and for any overfill of juice to collect, some of which invariably just gets retaken up.

No liquid gets into the battery chamber as it is a sealed design. Well, unless you spill some in there when you change batteries

Main area of wear on any PV is the atomizer connector area. Mods made of aluminum, or brass (brass is a bit better then aluminum, but still a soft metal) in the atomizer connector area, as i, and many Mod makers are now finding out, will only give a lifespan of a few months to approximately a year. That is why i switched to stainless steel, it is much, much stronger then aluminum or brass. How long will it last? We don't know yet, but i have yet to have a failed stainless steel adapter. (i've had SS adapters out in the field on the S6 and PRecise 10440 now for about 6-7 months). I will have replacement parts available and the All stainless model has a lifetime warranty.

The brass is much more maintenance intensive then the all stainless model. I recommend cleaning once a week by disassembling and washing with warm water, dish soap and a toothbrush. Re-apply Ideal Noalox to all threads and all electrical contact areas.

Yes, we ship to Hawaii
As of today, this is the approximate ship times:

Precise 18650- 3 weeks
Precise 16340- 1 week
Precise 10440- 2 days

And heres a comparison pic for you of the Precise 16340:

Thanks for responding so fast, I have decided I must have this. I'm tempted by the 2-3x battery life of the larger device but I love the size of that 16340. Do they both put out the true 3.7 volts versus the 3.2-3.4 I've heard I am getting out of my Ego?

Yes, i get approximately 3.7 volts under load with the Precise 16340.

They're great PV's I can tell ya first hand but the voltage is controlled by the quality of batteries you use. The Precise has no regulator or voltage device inside. It's just the carrier. David ran a few resistance test with the stainless units but other than that, it's all down to the batteries.

I run the AW IMR 16340's in my P16 and they're all the voltage and current you can get out of that size batt. The problem you have with the smaller stick batts is current flow (especially on LR attys). They just can't keep up. The Precise lets you choose a battery that will.

Congrats on your decision, you'll never look back...

Eh braddah/seestah! what part of Hawaii you at? I can probably meet up with you and you can check out my P18. It truly is a work of art. One big 3.7 AW batt lasts me 1.5 - 2 days and I consider myself a "heavy" vaper.
