Should I get an Aromamizer V2? (I own the V1 and the Aromamizer Supreme)

[Chris863]

Im probably in the minority here but as much as the flavor and clouds are amazingly good with the Supreme, I sort of prefer the Aromamizer V1 just because I dont like to go through 7 ml of juice in one day. Other than that the Supreme obviously is the best of the three Steam Crave products but with the V1 I can get 48 hours of vaping on 6 ml compared to 24 hours going though 7 ml on the Supreme. Makes a big difference and as a result I only been vaping homemade ejuice not premade juice to offset the cost on the Supreme.

If anyone owns the V1 and the V2 currently Im wanting to know does the V2 go through juice at the same rate as the V1? Because my expectation is that if I get the V2 I should get 2 days of vaping on a full tank like I do with the V1. If the V2 eats through juice though like the Supreme than I'll have to just get another V1. Hopefully the V1 and V2 are similar in their juice consumption because I would really like to have all three Aromamizer's in my collection.

Thank you

I think supreme > v1 > v2

I like it fully open, so the afc ring for v2 is useless for me

Thanks Stinkytofus, any difference in juice consumption between the V1 and V2 though? Thats the main concern for me...the metal ring as opposed to the rubber isnt a big deal...I never used the rubber ring myself on the V1, however might be nice because I have had the tank in my jean pocket a few time leak out, other than that your right the ring is useless.

Another thing I forgot, do the coils line up with the airholes properly in the V2? In the V1 you have to sand the base down etc. to line the coils with the airholes. Right now the V2 (6ML) from VapeNW is 26 bucks and the V1 (6ML) is 21 bucks... So the difference in price isnt an issue, just looking for performance and I want to be able to get the same amount of vaping on a full tank if I do get a V2. Appreciate anyone else who has extensively tried all three Aromamizers mainly if you could just tell me if the V2 goes through juice at the same rate as the V1, if it does I will most likely get a V2.

I've got both the V1 and V2. I pulled the fancy air flow ring off the V2 but it does line up with the coils better. Two holes are still aimed at the deck posts but the other two hit right on the coils themselves. I have not noticed a difference in juice consumption between the two and builds are the same.

I forgot a couple other differences between the two. The V2 has an extra part in the assembly designed to hold the AFC ring in. Even if you remove the AFC you still need to put that part back in the assembly, it could be a source for air leaks. It hasn't been for me, but another surface to surface fitting is just another place it "potentially" could fail. The V2 has a wider drip tip and slightly better air flow when wide open. The V2 drip tip also is missing the spit back protector at the bottom. I use the drop versions of these tanks, so I actually like that option of having it on the V1. I had a V1 and V2, I was looking for something simple to put away just in case. I opted for another V1 instead of the V2 or Supreme. JMHO

I think supreme > v1 > v2

I am using all 3 (Supreme, V1, V2) on a regular basis. The Supreme gets the most love though. As for V1 vs V2, I like V2 better, not only did they get rid of the stupid vape band, but I can use my own wide bore drip tips without looking silly, on the V2 I mean.

Regarding the juice consumption of the Supreme, yeah it's true, it eats away juice like there's no tomorrow, but I'm a DYI-er so the juice costs still remain in a decent zone

 

[Chris863]

Thanks for the replies. I decided to order the V2 which I did on Friday and I received it today! Going to put off building on it until tomorrow because my V1 and my Supreme are both completely filled with juice.

I will have some questions on the V2 im sure but it should be very easy to get the hang of.

Really liking the Supreme... I noticed my wicks look brand new and unused after multiple tanks, which save me time not having to rewick! On the V1 I would have to rewick after each tank because the shoulders would get a black tint. (Using Rayon)

Not sure how to dry burn the coil with the wick in there still believe you pulse it at really low wattage like 10 watts or so. Have to ask that in the Rayon thread but my wicks look super fresh and new after going through well over 10ml. That has never happened to me using Rayon. I have heard of other guys getting 100s of mls on a single Rayon wick but I havent been that fortunate. Might have something to do with the fact I make most of my juice that I vape and the flavors I sometimes use can cause more gunk than store bought stuff. Anyway, on the Supreme currently using 3.5mm dual coils, 24G Kanthal, 6 wraps spaced coils coming to 0.3 ohm with Rayon wicks.

strangely i prefer the v1, i actually use the afc band as a vape band in case of drops

I feel like the answer to every "should I get a..." question should be "yes."
