BUT, I am using the batts from Vapage!!, the button does not always make contact without pushing HARD, so enter the spacer!

I really like the 5v batt. I have a couple of them for the XL and for another tube mod (The Gold Rush). The tube mod does not need a spacer, but now I'm a bit concerned using it in the XL. I think I shall take AG's sage-as-always advice and glue it on. I like 3.0Ω attys with it. I also loved my 3.5Ω io6... right up to the point that I destroyed it by trying to pull it out of the ill-fitting drip tip. The gorgeous silhouettes that IKV offers are quite a straight-jacket on the poor little io6. Another "warning".
I do, and I also use MAP 306s w/ clear drip tips. I cannot see the juice in the squeeze tho. YEMBY (your eyes may be younger)
Juice order from AVE shipped, AW IMR's for my new mod shipped..... XL has not shipped. Makes me sad.
Thanks. You're the best!!!!! I also need to know which tips to use.... Ordering everything within 1-2 days.
FINALLY got my Ikenvape order and his 3.5 atty with 6V is REALLY good. A lot smoother draw than the LR atties I was using.
Ok...I've been rockin' the stock silo carto all day, and really have ZERO complaints.
PS: for those of you who don't know crap about soldering (I put a dollop on top on my vapage batts), first clean/abrade the surface with fine (600G) sandpaper or steel wool. Otherwise it won't stick.

io6 drip tip with "mod" assembly using brown original cover --- whatever 510 size I could make fit. For me the first one that did was one of those soft rubbery ones I had picked up somewhere. Good Profits has tips for $1 that they say "may be loose on some atty's" -- so they would probably work.
Looks like I spoke too soon. Just got the "It's shipped" email W00T! My first bottom feeder mod, so I'm rather excited.
Flux helps for soldering. Can't wait to buy this stuff! Maybe tonight, not sure.... Since I'm buying batteries and other stuff from MV anyways, I'm definitely buying at least two of the 306 LR atty's the the i06's as well. Whoever said they're happy with atty's lasting for 3 weeks I'm totally with you.
I used to clean my ego atty daily. Would be 'very' cool if I didn't have to do that. Can't wait to actually contribute something. Thanks for the help so far! Really appreciate it over here! My poor lungs need a break from analogs....

NONO, i'm at the office with my shiny vmod on the table XDYOooouu Whooo, XL'ians
Ostinato, I posted a link in the Tags for uke's mod of the cover of the io6 to use as a drip tip.
Need to be careful/fast soldering, you don't want to heat the battery end too much. And solder in itself is not considered a good conductor. If you use a dab of hot glue at two opposed points outside the diameter of the positive terminal, you can tack down a washer, it doesn't have to be a magnet. Scrub the washer and battery terminal, use some contact cleaner/antioxidant if available, as it's one more contact in the chain.
How are people liking the Vapage blue 18650s? Other than the positive terminal.
It's funny how much smaller the black XL looks compared to the silver.

If the adapter is hollow and not too tall, like these look,
510 to 901/808-D Adapter
juice should be able to feed from the bottom up into the 901/808 without making any holes. Have y'all tried it? Worst case tipping the XL a bit?

This XL is really growing on me and I haven't used my other mods since I got it.I tried out HV vaping with it tonight and i'm really loving the flavor and the amount and warmth of vapor it produces.Right now i'm using a Ikenvape 4.5 ohm 510 at 6 volts and 7.4 volts depending on the juice i'm using.I still can't believe the level of performance i'm getting out of this $60 mod.If I only could have started vaping with this mod I would have saved a lot of money.
Well, I had almost given up completely on my XL VMod. I started having some issues Monday. I just wasn't getting a satisfying hit. I tried different batteries, different 510 atomizers, the BF atomizer, The Silo cartomizers. Just wasn't cutting it.
Now I will tell you my solution. I refilled the bottle with a different juice. I never thought a juice could make that much difference. I am getting warm hits, and plumes of vapor. Guess I'll keep the XL after all.
