If I got the 3.7 18650 noego, will it be changeable to the vv by just getting the switch, or will you have to get a 5v model to do that? If you can do that with the 3.7, I'll order one tomorrow, then wait to make it a vv.

I am not trying to convince you to buy one , but this is the whole point of this model. I wanted and designed a model that is a modular unit. IF I will manage to succeed in my plans it will accept any switch a 3.7V a 5V or a VV in the future. we all should be able to choose whatever switch we want.

I dropped my 18650 today on the tar and it got several dimple scratches... =[

Still working like a champ however. Been running it almost exclusively for ??? I think about a month or more. Best purchase I have made as I culled 12 18650's from some laptop batteries. Now I have more power than I know what to do with. I can go 1/2 a month without a charger If I have to =]

Hear that I use mine daily. I have the 14500 for when Im out and about and it works very well. Looking forward to the 5v switched :)

Don't make the mistake of buying this, especially if you like LR.

Hmm, I just ordered 2 of these for the 18650. I will be getting the vv switch when it comes out. I use 2Ω cartos on 3.7v and 3Ω cartos on 5v. Did I get the wrong battery?

I got it. I had to adjust the bottom spring it was off center a tad and wasnt making a connection. Got it adjusted and it started working. It came with a cartomizer. I'm assuming it was a dual coil. The vapor was good the flavor was good. I don't know why but it was the best hits in my life. I started riding a nicotine buzz off of my 12mg juice. These cartomizers on the noego are maybe the best thing I have ever tried. Its rocked my world, and made me forget everything I knew about vaping. I need more of these cartomizers lol. And the unit itself is beautiful. The button feels great. I love this thing. I am now a fan.

Great news Creniker! I ordered mine last nite and am waiting for shipping notifaction. Can't wait to see this thing. I'm curious to know how long those cartos will last. Never tried a DC before, I have one someone gave me, but never tried it.

Make sure you keep the DC wet and it will run a long time. My last one ran about a week and a half untill I burnt the filling by not keeping it topped off. The only issue I had was that the draw on the DC gets tight the more you use it as the coils gunk up but they will still produce good vapor as long as you keep them wet. If you like the standard DC's you have to try the 1.25 DC's at least once to see if you like them.

If you ever have a vv of this, I'm first in line. I want a vv, but none that I have seen have a cone on them. I use CE2s and clear dual coils, and I love that the cone gives an impressive structural rigidity to these (I have the 14650 version and it is my primary device, but would love to have a 18650 vv).

Then I will be the second to get it. 18650 VV. Need it so bad for my tripple coils.

I have been topping them off every half hour with a couple drops. I hope it will last a week and a half, then I will have a chance to order some more. Anyone tried cleaning these things? And real quick whats the battery life like for other people using 14500 batteries in the noegos?
If I use mine all day I need two batteries. :) Typically I rotate PVs so usually one gets me through the day.

I failed in my attempt to mod VV into the switch housing... There are two issues I am having.

1) The center post for the battery and atty take up the prime real estate inside the housing as they cut into the widest section.
2) I wanted a lever type POT setup so you can adjust it like you would a lighter.

I am ordering parts to put together a PWM circuit on two smaller circuit boards. Hopefully I can solve my issues with the POT for adjustment or I will have to go with the recessed screw type where you will have to have a jewelers screw driver to adjust it.

One solution I am looking at is extending the switch barrel and shortening the spring to gain a little bit of extra room without increasing the overall size of the unit.

Which ever I come up with I will share with Romaniac to hopefully help his development along.

Otherwise I am still enjoying my NoEgo at 3.7V

Can you PM a link to the POT your looking at?
