I got my 2 kits + a slew of clearos in today. They are working well. Funny thing is, these things are just as big around as the Smokeless Image X2 and slightly shorter. I'll pick up another couple of them soon. These things are working out great.

You mean the clearo is the same diameter right? Because the Revolver is larger diameter than my X2 battery

So the Revolvers are doing good? I think I'm getting one for Christmas, but so far I've been disappointed with that vendor.

I've got one 1300mAH and two 650mAH and like them so far. I'm using regular cartomizers with them so can't attest to how well they work with clearo's. I've already been accused of 'advertising', so I won't comment on the vendor.

If it is, then it's not much a difference at all. Like maybe 1/4 a mm. Just put them end to end and there was very little difference, if any at all.
1/4-mm is barely visible to the naked eye. The difference between my X2 and iGo is about more like the difference between the diameter of a penny and a dime.

Yeah I've had it a few weeks and I like it. I haven't bought a ton from nhaler, but haven't had any problems with them. I think they're website sucks, is totally uninformative, and takes some time to learn to navigate. But so far I've only owned 808 hardware, and they offer a good variety of 808 stuff.

What I'd like to see is MadVapes start selling this thing, since they also sell a good amount of 808 hardware ... maybe I should go see If I can put it on my wishlist there.

When I put them end to end I just think "is there a difference in size, I can't tell. Maybe a little". But it is still amazing to me that it is actually shorter in length than my 650 mah x2.

Cool. My wife was asking me the other day if I wanted one of these and I told her yes. Might be using it by next week.

I should say my disappointment with Nhaler is due to not liking the two items I bought from them. Nothing wrong with the company, but they're the only ones I haven't liked a product from yet.

How are the clearos that come with them? Are they CE5 or mini Nova clones?

And it would be great if Mad Vapes sold these. Heck, at this point I'd be happy with an 808/901 superstore. I'm paying nearly $20.00 in shipping every two weeks.

The good thing is that the owner is very helpful on his suppliers forum here. That's always an added bonus. SI is totally missing the boat on this one.

Yeah, plus he seems pretty respected in the community, and has had some real good high end stuff (like the Darwin) and AFAIK is the only one selling the Opus. He's also involved in CASAA and a local business, which I always try to support.

SI is great for entry level stuff. I think I saw on one of their thread they aren't planning on offering VV, I guess they want to stick to KISS. I can respect it somewhat because it seems that they can assure people will have a pretty good vape with their stuff. I only tried one of their liquids, but it's one of my favs, and it vapes great at 3.4-V on SR cartos. Once I got VV I found that some of the liquids I had just didn't vape well until you could tune the voltage and/or use LR heads with them. So for entry level people it's kind of nice there'a a place like SI where they don't have to think they're too stupid to get a good vape.

Oh wow, I only have a 1300-mAh X2, it's slightly longer than and (as I said) thinner than the revolver. Do you have a 1300-mAh X2 as well? Is the 650 the same height?

I can't keep track of the CE numbers. It's the stardust type, just like SI sells, but with the replaceable heads. I have three of them and I like them. Though I think the ability to switch the heads it key, it makes cleaning easy. Wash out your empty clearo, disasseble, soak the head, swap in a dry one and you're vaping again in minutes. I've been using three of the NHaler ones with 7 heads for about 3 weeks and haven't had anything die. I usually dry burn them everytime I clean them, rinse then soak in alcohol overnight.

He sells 3 types, ego/510, iGo/808 (The n300) and echo which is flat 808. It will work on your 808, but doesn't cover the ego threads (I bought 2 of those by accident). You want the "N300" which have the iGo/808 thread.

I just got a 650 mAh eGo in the mail today. It's tiny. The 650 with a CE4 on top is barely taller than just my 1300 X2. I think I've grown more accustomed to the larger sized. The 650 is just awkward to use.

Another Twist-style battery is the Go Go Fury by Cigeasy. So 3 VV 808's, two by branded vendors. The Fury claims to top out at 5v.

You're right, SI have said no plans to make a vv X2. So who is the vendor for the vv 808 you picked up? I know some people who would be interested, especially as they could still use their 8080 cartos and T3s.

ETA: Never mind. I saw them at Nhaler:

NHaler has the Revolver in both iGo and Echo models, which is what this thread is about.


There's also the Dial-A-Volt by V4L (Which appears to be an Echo style battery, but with a manual button) and the Fury by CigEasy.

That's it for Twist/Spinner clones. V4L also has the Gripper, which is eitner re-branded or a clone of the samemod by MadVapes.

Erm, I can see what the thread is about - you don't need to tell me. Thanks, I'd already read the posts that mentioned the other pvs. I already know about the Gripper. I was interested in the one the OP talked about (first post). Revolver iGO/808 battery.

I just got my kit yesterday in the mail as way, just before I was about to hop into the car and go away for the night to a friends Xmas part. I'm very happy with it, I'm pretty new to vaping, so the Volt X2 was my previous number 1 PV. The 1300mAh battery is actually about a 1/2" shorter than my 1100mAh X2, and slightly larger diameter.

I got home a few hours ago, charged it to full capacity and just threw it on my Voltmeter and Osilliscope to see the numbers. I tested voltages at each marked setting 3.3, 3.8, 4.3 and 4.8V with a variety of Resistances.

First with no head (infinite resistance) the voltage was straight DC until I got to 4.3V where it showed a sawtooth. Voltage was a little below the setting 3.14V at 3.3, 3.51V at 3.8 ... DC reading on the voltmeter was 4.29V at 4.3 amd 4.86V at 4.8 settings.

I then tested the different voltages with 2.5, 2.9 and 3.5 ohm heads and the voltages were consistent throughout. (I didn't have a LR Clearo setup, so I didn't check that.)

Basically with any resistance the voltage under load was very consistent, and the signal was flat DC under load as well.

SettingVoltage
3.33.07
3.83.46
4.34.05
4.84.66

Those are basically the averages I got for voltages but there was very small variation, I'll attribute it more to the analogness of the voltage dial than the circuit not being able to provide the power. So basically the true range is something like 3.0 to 4.7 V

The dial actrually goes just a bit past 4.8V, and stops dead on 3.3 at the low range. I tested it at the max range and it doesn't push past 4.67V.

All in all I'm very happy with it.

Seems to get more accurate at the higher voltages. Appears less accurate than an Ego twist, from reviews I read of that. ? On the plus side, its not firing higher than set so shouldn't be any problems with that. Thanks for taking the time to put it through its paces.

Yeah well, the accuracy isn't so much an issue for me. Even though the numbers are off, it's a very good way to get into the VV world, especially if you're one of us who has started in the 808 world.

Actually, I had never done a LR head on my first test. shortly after that post I broke the battery connection on my test rig, so had no way to test furthur. Last week I picked up parts to replace it and did tests on 1.4 and 1.6-ohm DC cartos.

And now I'm just remembering I didn't have it fully charged when I did the test. So that's why I haven't posted it yet. Give me some time and I'll run the tests again with a fresh charge.
