Received my Indulgence today.....

[wenchy69]

quite happy with the postage time from china.... 5 business days. have not yet had much time with it, but using it at HV with 2 batteries, it seems to be fine. good TH and vapor production. cannot as yet see much difference from my tornado, but still very early days yet. it is bigger than i thought it would be. not easy to determine size from looking at pictures online. i will need to go and buy an adapter to enable me to use the battery charger, as it is a US plug. when handling it, i can feel the batteries moving around inside a little. not sure if that is normal. probably is.

something that i found quite disappointing: my indulgence is chipped! it has a decent sized chip right where the top screws into the cup, just below the button. not too happy about that, as one of the reasons i purchased it was due to the nice bling look it had. i have emailed david at eastmall, so for now i am not prepared to give them a bad rap. i will wait and see what david has to say.



like i said... still early days, but i am enjoying the TH, vapor and flavour. the price was good too.

i have read various complaints re the battery charger being flimsy and not the easiest to use. once i purchase an adapter, i will be able to form an opinion in that regard.
hopefully i will be able to come back in a few days with a better review.

Why whats the problem?

 

[KuiHiggins]

WE WANT VID!!!

Sorry to hear that it isn't going as expected. Hopefully they can adress the chipped issue. What's going downhill?

 

[wenchy69]

sorry guys, i can't do a vid... camera is out on loan.
ok, well i've been using both batts and one bat. vaping at 3.7 on this mod just doesn't cut it for me. my tornado leaves this thing for dust. a 6 ( or how many 2 batts truly are ) it is going though juice like nobody's business. yes, i did expect it to use a little more, but this is nuts. 5 good takes and the cart is empty. to add insult to injury, it is constantly giving me that horrid burnt taste. i ordered 6 HV atties and have used them all. have used a few different brand juices and the results are all the same..... burnt! yuk and it made me feel ill.
it's not a nice feeling bagging a new product, but i have to say that my little tornado just runs rings around the indulgence. perhaps i should just order a few spare batts and stick to 3V vaping. unless anyone can recommend a GOOD mod that actually performs how it should?

another thing.... i've had to put oil on the threads. they are so flimsy and squeak and squeal and feel as though the whole thing will break any minute.

just not happy

Hey Wenchy, I've got two tips for you that maybe will make you happy again.

Tip One: For the burnt taste at 6v, maybe you should drip instead of using carts. Carts really don't keep up on my Tornado when I use my Magnum Low Resistance Atomizers (which simulate 5v vaping).

Tip Two: Low Resistance Magnum Atomizers!!! Can't stress them enough! They work wonders on my Tornado at 3.1v, and I've read that they are even more awesome at 3.7v. Instead of doubling up 3v batts for 6v vaping, instead maybe you should try a 3.7v batt and get some Magnum atty's to use with it.

However, do not use those Low Resistance Magnum atty's at 6v. I haven't tried that, but highly advise against it.

you know what? you've pretty much helped me to make up my mind!
as far as dripping goes, i don't think that's for me. especially while driving. plus i'm a pretty heavy vaper.
as for the LR atties... i've heard so much about them, mostly good. only one or 2 bad reports. it seems pretty hard to find them of late tho!! i think i am going to get some and just stick with my tornado. will buy some spare batts. after playing around all afternoon, i am truly wondering if 6V really is for me. i wish it was just me being a spoilt whining brat, but honestly, i have tried everything with this indulgence and am not having any joy.

thanks so much for helping.

Don't think the HV atty will do any justice @ 3.7v... could that be it? my tornado leaves this thing for dust. a 6 ( or how many 2 batts truly are ) it is going though juice like nobody's business. yes, i did expect it to use a little more, but this is nuts. 5 good takes and the cart is empty. to add insult to injury, it is constantly giving me that horrid burnt taste. i ordered 6 HV atties and have used them all.
Hv mods love the juice-- OTOH I think thats why a lot of peeps think 5v IS the sweet spot-- have you tried using a regular atty w/ the 6v get-up? If you haven't yet, you'd notice a diff in the vapor production vs. your Torny I'm sure. have used a few different brand juices and the results are all the same..... burnt! yuk and it made me feel ill.

HV vaping has its own learning curve, but its easy enough to catch on-- have fun!

hi!
i didn't think it was possible to use a regular atty while vaping at 6V? i thought it would blow the atty? and yes, i have been using just a normal atty when using only the one battery. it seems to be ok now, just using one battery, but definitely no better than the tornado. hmm, i might switch atties around and see what happens..... eeek!

also, the atty adapter just keeps on turning and turning when screwed in. bugger!

EDIT: i sure do sound like such a big fat whinger, i know. i really should give it a bit more time before i whine, but the issues i have outlined are genuine.

 

[gratefulme]

First you can't really use carts at 6volts. They don't flow well enough to keep the atty wet.

Second it won't be any better than your tornado it is just a longer lasting battery. Same voltage so no better. Your not whining just learning.

are you saying i would need to use cartomizers? don't think i'd go there.

i've been using it at 3.7 V for the last few hours and you are right.... it's no better than the tornado. it leaks like a sieve too. i guess you only get what you pay for, but whether it be a pv, microwave or a lousy $2 lighter, i'd just like things to perform as they should.

live and learn i guess.

thanks for your input.

Since I got my magnum atty's, I don't think I could ever go back to regular 510's. I love them so much that I now have 12! If nhaler is sold out, totally wicked has them for $8, get 'em before they're gone!

Dripping is really optimal with 5v vaping or higher. Those LR atty's simulate 5v vaping, so carts might not keep up like you want them to. Try them out, though, and if you don't get any dry atty taste then you're golden!

thank you. i ordered some last night, so will see how it goes.

I got my 4 LR atty's from TW today. Sad to say... read here.

Edit: Hopefully yours are great and great right out of the box! Still waiting to see if mine are okay after an Isopro soak...

Edit #2: after a little cleaning and time to rest, these are working fine now, and getting better as the time goes by. Enjoy your LR atty's, Wenchy!

 

[joe555]

so are there any mods that could be used with carts/cartomizers? or are they all only for dripping?

 

[gratefulme]

Sure, any 3.7 volt mod can be used with carts. When you go to higher voltage it gets tricker. There are a few people that have got different cart mods to work, but you'd have to do some research on that cause I haven't been able to get any of them to work.

 

[jcamacho]

I use carts all the time on 5 and 6 volts with no problems. In fact carts taste better with high voltage.

 

[gratefulme]

Regular factory filled poly carts, Or are they cart mods?

 

[jjujju]

Hmmm I'm sorry to hear you're not happy with the Indulgence. I've had mine for a few weeks now and am quite happy with it. I don't have a Tornado so I can't compare it to anything other than regular batteries (510, 901, 801, KR808). . . but I do have to say a fresh battery on the Indulgence gives much more of a *good* hit than my stock 510 batteries.

I still haven't jumped to high voltage so I don't know about how the Indulgence or any other mod would perform there. But as far as the 3.7 v with the Indulgence and the quality of manufacturing, I'm pretty happy! If you really can't get used to it or can't love it I'm sure you can find someone who will buy/trade it in the classifieds!!!

 

[joe555]

ok i have a 510, too... do you get substantially more vapor with the indulgence? (at 3.7) and how long does a cartridge last for you?
