I would be pleased with that. We will see what they say. I don't expect to hear from them until tuesday.
What are you seeing as being wrong?
There isn't much to break in the XL.
Did it short out and fry the spring?
I doubt if you will get any CS until tomorrow.
Not sure what went wrong. When I get home, I plan to run it under some warm water. Maybe that will help, then put some noalox on the firing pin.
Let us know how that works out. It has to be something simple, because the XL is all mechanical & there isn't anything that can really just fail. A serious short would collapse the spring or kick in the protection on an IC battery, but other than that it's a simple circuit.
Question... is it normal for the Vapage atty that came with the kit to be a tighter draw than the silo carto?
I've mentioned a few times that I'm an atty virgin, so I don't really know what to expect from them. I've been switching back and forth between the atty and the carto and the atty seems to be a much tighter draw. If that's normal, is that the case for all atties?
I'm kind of concerned because I ordered a bunch of various atomizers before I realized I preferred the vape I get from the silo cartomizer to the atomizer. I guess I can always sell or PIF them if I don't like them, but maybe the Vapage atomizer is just tighter than others or I got a dud? Or maybe I'm just a cartomizer type of girl and atties won't do it for me.
Oh, I ordered um... a couple of different ohms of 306's and 510's from Vapor Kings. I got the 10 pack of 306's there and now I'm thinking, "Aack! What if I hate them?!?"

I've found that the vapage one is a tighter draw. The Joyes have an easier draw and a better throat hit IMO. I tried 306s a while back and was not a fan, haven't tried them recently, though. My main criteria is throat hit, though, so that's why I like 510s and 36mg juice.
If you hate the atty's, they will be an easy sell Spaz, in fact I would buy them. I have some silos I could toss in and, well we could work something out if you decide you are a carto gal. I think you will like the 306's tho, give them a try first.
I love Joye LR306 1.5ohm attys. 
They are an easier draw than the Universal Hybrid. The Bottom Feeder Hybrid has a looser draw than the Universal FWIW. I like the BF better.

Well, just letting you know that running under hot water helped. I must have had a bit of something somewhere that was inhibiting contact. My mods in my pocket while at the barn tend to pick up junk.
OK, gotta question here
Has anyone noticed the you can have an adjustable draw that will change flavor Or is it just something with the adapter and 901's?? Here's what I mean, I can tighten the atty, then keep backing it off till I get the flavor I want
Airflow play's a huge role in flavor, and I'm loving this find
And actually I have about 1 and a half full turns to play with!!!! I LOVE IT

Question for u vmod experts, any of u guys have a lea? Do u feel the vmod is way to airy with boge cartos? I get a better hit on my lea w/boge vs vmod w/boge. Whether its with the boge or hybrid on vmod it seems the vapor is not warm enough or too airy.... 7

A tip for new VMmod users.
The "switch", being just plated spring metal on plated parts, can develop a bit of "internal resistance". Just rotating the plunger back and forth, "locked - unlocked", clears some of the junk off the contact areas.
Then if you have a contact-cleaner/anti-oxidant and clean the battery's terminals, the contact area on the bottom spring and the whole plunger/spring top area, it can make a big difference, like picking up a quarter volt.
And since the positive pin in the well isn't spring-mounted, the positive terminal on the atty/carto gets pushed in when you screw it down. Then it can stop firing, or fire but with some power lost across the contact. You get a better connection if you occasionally pull the atty's contact out a hair. If you don't twist it or pull it out far, the wires give you some slack and nothing's damaged.

I've gotta a question do you guys find it a really tight pull on the XL? My wife and I each got a XL in the mail last week. I havent used mine yet but, my wife has been loving hers the last few days. But earlier I let her hit my REO and she said she wished the pull was as easy on the XL as it was on my REO. So I took a pull off her XL and this thing is tight it hits great but the pull is really tight. I took it apart and tried different things but it still has a tight pull. Shes using a Lr 1.5 Joye 510. Any suggestions as to a fix or is it just the nature of the beast with this feed system? Thanks
Also on a side note I tried it with the Atty that came with it and that thing was so tight it was ridiculous pretty much useless I felt. But I drilled out one of the side holes to 1/8" and now that one hits as good as the Joye. So for any of you having troubles with it or dont like it maybe try drilling it.

Try backing off the atty SLOWLY as you're drawing on the atty, see if that works
don't have that problem with mine but i do like hh357 on the xl but even the one that came with is a good draw maybe you have to break it in the threads seem real tight but mine is getting easier every time i change it
