I rec'd my sapphire bud cartos today, along with a bottle of chocolate covered strawberry, 15mg, pg/vg blend.
Before the mail arrived I was vaping COV CY4, 16mg, on a G4 from goodprophets, which I mention because it colors this review a bit.
First off, don't panic, Chris - I love the bud. (Um, well, make of that what you will? The naming is.. curious.) The vapor production on my pg blend juice is fantastic - I mean almost ridiculous. This is not a stealth-vaping setup, for damn sure.
You know how in review videos someone is always hooked up to their Promoddedmaxavapormizer and they take a longgggggg drag, like you're holding your breath with them and thinking holy ___, how long can they inhale anyway? to get a huge cloud of vapor on exhale? yeah, forget about that. I just slapped it on my trusty eGo mega passthrough which'd been charged overnight and took a primer puff - and was like WTF! that's a lot of freaking vapor.
Now, the vapor is, of course, on the cool side, but SO much richer than the G4 I was using earlier. In comparison, the g4 is cool to the point of feeling nonexistent. I'd be taking two primer puffs for every inhale on the G4. And while the flavor is fan-freaking-tastic on the G4, that's a recipe for going through a lot of juice.
The TH is on the light side. Make of that what you will, also, because of my juice choice. But it's doable.
Actually, for ease of filling I might give it to the g4. Also, with the G4 I can use one of my own drip tips. I hate how all of these new cartos have proprietary tips. The whistle tip on this one feels extremely awkward for me - it's too long and skinny or something. (Heh, that's what she said, alright.)
BUT, the bud is the winner out of the two. When I vape, I need to know I'm vaping, and the lighter feel the g4 produces is just.. no bueno in comparison.
Now, a word on the liquid. It's a good value for the money, but I remain unconvinced about my selection. It's... I suspect it might grow on me, but my next refill will probably be something else.
eta: this will be close to a double post - i'm going to post something similar in the reviews board.
eta(again): I need to chill, I'm getting totally lightheaded from this thing!
