Reviews of the Apex Alpha Unit

[Slo Ryd]

Haha excellent. I'm on it. You know, there is a little learning curve like anything. But man, it's coming along quick.

Well the nice thing is that we developed it to be as easy as possible. Doesn't mean there isn't a learning curve it just doesn't take as long as others do. Plus, no matter how simple things can be, everybody has their little ways of doing things different that makes it easier for them. That's what really takes time to figure out. Plus, things like being able to tell how many puffs you have left before your battery is completely dead, stuff like that takes time to get down. I can literally tell exactly when my battery will die about 20 drags before it happens (and its usually right on the dot). It just takes practice like anything.

I found a technique that the RES seems to respond to. I found myself taking drags with primarily my mouth and not much lung. When I took slower, deeper fulls I got great results. I think taking long deep pulls help the liquid move down the RES. The liquid only comes out based upon how hard you are pulling it out. So shorter drags will pull the liquid from the bottom, what you vape then replace when you get the burnt taste. Try pulling a bit harder with your lungs to help the liquid at the top move down. Sorry, I'm not trying to tell you how to vape. I know you know. Just something that I found helped me get the rest of my liquid out. Actually I think N8T or someone mentioned it in a review or something, or in the manual? subconscious

thanks, i'll give a try with that techinque. the other guy says hi's having good results with carto, so i'll try that too. i'll keep you guys posted.

Ya exactly. No matter how easy it is, everyone is going to do things a bit differently. That's why I kept reiterating in my review that "I know I'm having a bit of trouble now, but I'm not worried" because I knew it was simple and it has to work. I just need to find what works best for me; and I've pretty much got it.

Ya let us know. I'm curious to see if works for other people. I haven't tried carto's in them.

I'm using 6v with the joy atty you guys sent out in a kit. I think these are 2.5 ohm? At first i used 3.2 ohm atty and switched to joy to see if it worked better. I wasnt chain vaping. The thing here is i was able to fill it up with 10 drops. The drops after that wasnt soaking. Yeah i blew onto it, wait 10 min. Etc... It's definietly full cuz it's guggling.

Ok, I'm thinking it (the dry hits) may be related to the 6V + atty. Last night I met with the inventor of the Ego Tank system and he went on at length about how we should offer a higher ohm atty (~4ohm) for the 6V because it fires so strong. He had other 6V devices and said the Ultramax at 6V was sending more current than those.

We will definitely investigate and modify as required if we are exceeding current atomizer capabilities.

wow so i wasn't the only one who's feeling the alpha was hotter than my other pv at 6v. i'm the guy who asked you on email if the alpha puts out more voltages than 6.4v, because the atty was definitely hotter on the alpha than my omega at 6v. i guess it was the current that was making it hot. well 3.2 ohm was still hot and maybe 4 ohm atty could do the trick. anyway i'm tring it on cartomizer and it's working great so far. it's 2.5 ohm carto, and it's been 2 hours and still going strong. at one point i had dry hit, and i did empty pulls without hitting the switch, and it sucked juice into the carto and it's fresh as before!! the flavor is very consistant, and whenever it gets weak, just do some empty pull. works great. i think this pv and carto is a great match. i'll try this all day tomorrow and keep you posted. thanks and keep up the good work.

Yeah, 2.2-2.5 is just too low for this high of voltage. Don't get me wrong, I'm vaping the dickens out of this thing, but I think I'm growing scales inside my throat to be able to maintain composure when the dry hits come... They don't even bother me anymore.

 

[alldayvape]

6v w/ 3.5ohm atty works great.. I wouldnt vape @ 6v with a 2.5ohm atty ...

Bob, you have to stop making me spit coffee on the screen.

I think this is a function of surface area of the battery contact, you notice that on the Alpha the Contacts are huge, plus there is very little in the way of the circuit, pretty much built to fire as efficiently as possible. We went the electroless nickel plating as it further increased the conductivity of the unit. It seems to outperform other 6V mods I have used, even with the same battery and atomizer set up.

Hey I was thinking - should I post my review in the general e-cig review forum? Get more exposure? I'm quickly figuring out how to best use my Ultra. We work better and better every time I use it.

I actually started typing up a review to post in the general ECF review section. I if you post one before I get a chance to finish mine, I'll just tack on the photos that I took over the weekend (if that's okay with you).

How long would it take for you guys to start offering "High Voltage" atomizers if you were going to?

I am working on it today... in a perfect world maybe 10 days.

Cool, well, I'll be snagging a couple of those.

 

[SleepHater]

I'll keep you posted, if I can get them sent DHL maybe faster... I wonder if I should carry them in a different color. I like the way stainless looks on the Alpha, but the only was to tell a LR, SR and HV Joye atty apart is to look for the tiny little laser etching mark on the very bottom of the atty, tough to see and easy to miss. What do you think?

I think Stainless is a good neutral most people like, and black as well. The etching is easier to see on black but IMO its not that big of a deal with stainless, you can still see it. I can see people wanting black if they come to your site and don't have an alpha, like if they were buying juice or something but, meh, I don't know.

I agree, I think I'll just bring in the stainless. Thanks!

Ya that's totally cool. I posted an updated version. Alldayvape added some of his pictures. You should still add yours I think - you really made it look great.

Nice, can you post a link to it so I can check it out!
