According to the Vapage site 'your V-mod XL will ship approximately January 20-25'. I know today is Sunday but I am seriously hoping these start going out tomorrow. Anyone out there get a shipping notice for these in the last couple of days? My stash of atty's and silo's shipped to me super fast and are just begging to be fired up. Man, its been a long couple of weeks waiting for this thing. PATIENCE, PATIENCE is my mantra these days...

mine too ;-(
im from Poland = at least 10 working days shipment.

Are U feel better now? :)

Cool,
Fortunately, in Poland, the authorities did not know what is the e-cig ;)

smilee, think you might be able to send some of those authorities over here? We'll be happy to wait the 10 days. ;)

AND! We'll even thank you by sending your some of ours!


GREAT job, AG! You da man.

They would probably be happy they went, but you do not want;) and I'd be ashamed for them.
If I could, without harm to others "get rid" of all poslich politicians - I'd do it in 3 rather than 10 days;)

Question for happy users XL:

whether and to what effect tried to use the following atty with XL (I have them a lot and now I do not know whether to buy another if they are ok):

1) standard BOGE attys ~ 3ohm (http://www.nicotinehighway.com/product_images/s/945/510ego-atty__12209_zoom.jpg)
2) Joye SR ~ 2.3 ohms attys (http://www.peleon.pl/img/p/1486-2651-large.jpg)
3) no name bridgeless LR ~ 1,7-2 ohm attys (http://kalamazoovaporshop.com/images/P/Dripping Atty 1.8 -01.jpg

now I use them at 3.7 V, and I'm happy.

Great article AG -- thanks for posting the link. Sure hope it helps.

And Smilee -- I had a Rev2 also and enjoyed it, too. But it's the little Vmod that intrigues me to this day! The XL is a gem and great addition to my arsenal.....I do love 18650 batteries.

I was thinking you might like to also get the little guy when version II comes out --- it's a great size and light enough that I'm sure some kind of lanyard could be made to work. I put the "leash" from the Rev2 on it by just securing it with the cone.

SO. CAL
Finally! My Tax return is on it's way to my bank acct. any day now and then I'm finally ordering this bad boy!:D

I have been wanting to try this mod for what seems like forever! Anyone know if they are planning on doing a bundle kit like they did the "little brother " Vmod ver.?

I'll try to find the answer on the other (141 pages back) :glare: lol but has anyone experienced what DOES NOT fit (brands and styles of atomizers or drip tips) just for an FYI?

Speaking of — can used cartos be recycled?

Yes, they can be sold by weight to Chinese jobbers who have children clean them with Pepsi, wrap them in old electrical tape, paint them, and that's why some "brand new" cartos have a strange taste. I won't even go into the batteries, that's too close to real. Can you say WhatFire? ;-)

@Karmakatie & @Whatitstrue, I tried carrying dimes down there for the parking meter, but then I realized they only took $20 bills ;-)

@AG - GREAT on the article, you helped change the reporter's views a bit.

How long should it sit for after pre-filling? I let the second one sit for about an hour, and it too is nasty and burnt. I have another sitting filled, from another package. Both I tried so far were from the same 2-pack package. I've emailed Vapage to see what they say. Don't want to burn through any more of these if I am doing something wrong.

I've been talking about this for a long time, and they get very angry with me here, that I'm bad-rapping Vapage. But it's the truth, and people shouldn't be breathing bad fumes. It's a Chinese QA problem, not reflecting on Vapage's designs, or the Vmods themselves. Though I've gotten 2 superb atomizers of the Uni non BF type, many of their cartos and atties I got were defective. On the atty it takes the form of loose coils, so sections of the wire glow visibly orange for lack of cooling by the juice, and that decomposes juice. The more VG in your juice, the more Acrolein is produced, and the nastier the burned taste. On the carto it's harder to see. You have to look down the air-tube with a magnifying glass. On a good carto the coil is centered and tightly wrapped around the glass-fiber wick. The wick is stretched across the air-tube, so you can't ever burn anything, like in an Echo. On a bad carto the coil is offset and goes off into the wadding blanket that surrounds the air-tube, and/or there are loose coils again. You get a bad taste from either defect, though the two tastes are different ;-) I have never had good luck with the silos. See below. The atty is incinerating juice as it reaches the orange wire. On the carto you can't even see the coil, it's way off in the wadding, and part of the wire you do see is also loose.

I think it's an industry-wide problem and explains a lot of the variation, and people changing brands. I think people should just return parts that don't work. I'm sure Vapage will exchange them, they don't want you inhaling crap, and they have a good customer service record. For people that are far away, like Smilee, it's great the XL works with just about any carto or atty.

To nie mów im, tak najlepiej. Mimo wszystko, dwu ohmowe Boge lepiej się sprawdzają na 3.7 v, są wręcz niesamowite na XL. Ale trojki tez działają. Tylko ze wszystkie po kilku dniach oczywiscie zaczynają sie zapychać, tak jak na innym sprzęcie. Co do atomizerów, większość dziala bez problemu, bo jest to tak zbudowane, że sok sie dostaje tak czy inaczej. Tylko np. 306 wymagają aby wyjąc taką małą czarną uszczelkę (ta która jest w samej studni, zobaczysz), bo powietrze musi się dostawac do tych górą.

So yes they work.

The only thing I know off the top of my head is that dual coil atomizers won't feed properly. There is a list back in the 141 pages somewhere that someone was kind enough to compile, and that was the only thing that absolutely would not work.
