The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage.com

The idea of grabbing a second XL is tempting, but it fits my hand so well, I'm afraid the standard size would be too small. Cash is a factor, though, so for the moment at least, my current setup has to do. Fortunately I really like both of them so that suits me fine, although I do think my Diamond is getting jealous because my XL really does get a lot more attention. Once I finish the bottle currently on it and fill with my stash of TV Earl Grey, it's just going to be worse. Plus I have a pair of Cisco 306LR's that should be arriving today. Speaking of which, I seem to remember reading that someone stated that you couldn't push the drip tip all the way down for feed purposes. Is that accurate?

I use a procedure with bottom feed in boge revolution - You hve tried it in vmod xl?

after dewick and debridge atty i make own bridge made ​​of a single grid mesh belt and put it directly on the coil. bridge has the shape of the letter "U", concessionaire enter into the white basket next to the coil so that a millimeter above the bridge coil. Coil holds more liquid and the taste and the smoke is better.

Not all atty this works (ok in boge SR-but not all, Joye SR - all)

can somebody take another picture of the proper O-ring placement in the cup, or highlight the area on AG's pic? My o-ring just fell out, and I thought I had seated it properly, but now I am getting lots of juice dripping into the cup, and the atty either doesn't get enough juice, or ends up flooded. I can't really see where it goes in the pic AG provided previously.

I'm starting to get a bit annoyed with my XL. :(

I like it in concept-- grab my filled-up Vmod and an extra battery and am good to go for at least a couple of days without any need for refilling or recharging-- but as of right now, the vape seems really airy, I am getting juice in my mouth at least a few times daily, and now with this o-ring issue it's not even functioning

thanks Tearose50,
that's better than i can see with my reading glasses lol... looks like it helps keep the juice locked into the bottom of the atty area where the holes in the atty connector are.
My guess from looking at it without the atty and squeezing, this bottom feed system floods the bottom area vs. some that feed it up into the center hole in the atty. The juice come in through the hole/s in the atty thread area.....?

I think you are right uke. It can feed through the atty holes--that's why even dripping atty's can work with it. Or, when one floods--you can dry pull the juice up through the pin hole.

And, uke, the camera see's it better than me!

I thought it would be helpful to show the placement of the o ring as it relates to the feed hole.

This picture is from an unused XL--right out of the box.

that helped, thanks Tearose :)

I know part of the problem is me as this is my first time using atties. But I think I am finally getting the hang of the system, my only question is as follows: my vape seems reaaaaallllly airy; I am using the AMG atties from Vapage. Is this a general difference between atties and cartos, something specific to the AMG atties, or something specific to the Vmod system?

Some say the vapage AMG Hybrid atty's are airy -- some just say lighter draw -- more like an analog. My first day with them was amazing---so light, but so much vapor! I went through a bottle in no time just experiencing it!

Have you tried the atty that came with the kit? It's called a Universal and you may find it a bit different. Part of the beauty of the XL is that you can use almost any atty or carto---so you can play!

Someone posted a way to tighten it up a bit --- but someone else will have to share that data. What I do know is that air flow is important -- but that's about as far as I go on atty advice.

I personally tend to rotate equipment as I like the changes.

hmmm, ok. Idk, all I know is I am using the AMG's @ 1.5 ohm on 3.7v and I was getting better throat hit and vapor from my 510's paired w/ Boge 2.0 cartos

You must have it flooded or not enough juice or have it seated properly, coz that atty will produce both with oomph! Regardless of the cause my experience has been stellar over my Boge LRs

I agree kk. Something is wrong there. The 1.5ohm AMG Hybrid put out the heat and vapor.
No comparison to a carto.

I was flooding them for sure.

I am starting to (finally) get a consistent satisfying vape after about 4 days of trial and error, but I still feel like I have to pull lighter and longer than on my 510/BogeLR to get a comparable hit.

Also... I feel like I have got the right feel for how much juice needs to be in the atty now, but when I take a vape and have the PV tilted more than 90 degrees flat (in bed, for example) I always end up with juice in my mouth. Is this me flooding the atty still, another issue, or is this to be expected?

A tilted VMod will give you juice in the mouth:ohmy: On mine, that's the way I would feed, just tilt and puff then lower and continue to puff. Never squished, squirshed, squeezed, or any other word that begins with the letter "s":laugh:, just tilt and vape!! So tilted to long will flood the atty8-o
