Took my XL on a quest to find an o-ring that'll work.... no joy as yet. Got some funny looks though. Has anyone tried the ones for the original VMod? There's a Grainger Indurstrial Supply house near where I work. I'm going to try there when I'm back in the office on thursday.

I'm supposed to have the information on the sizes tomorrow...hopefully...

AG.... what 306 attys are you using ??? I have noticed that my 1.7 ohm cheap attys work real nice on my XL, but also I have noticed that the thinner the drip tip, the better the 306 works. And that led me to think we need more air in our XL's.
Jo do you mean the inside diameter of the drip tip needs to be a specific size so the draw is perfect? If so, I was given a gift of a AFC
Stainless Steel AFC Air Flow Control Drip Tip
I never have used it so not sure it even works :confused:

Kami, no I think the outside diameter of the drip tip needs to be very thin for better air flow, but you might just give that nice drip tip a go and let us know how it does in comparison to a regular one.

I gave five a go Jo, with an atty;
A Cherry Vapes SS Ming
Steel | Ming | Drip Tips | E-| Cig| Cigarette | 510 | Cherry Vape
A NHaler Glass #36
Glass Drip Tips
A COV SS Flat Tip
NEW! 510 Flat Tip Stainless Steel
A COV AFC Tip
Stainless Steel AFC Air Flow Control Drip Tip
VModXL Stock Drip Tip
You already have one :)

The best IMHO is the Glass Tip, just feels good, smooth and very little heat transfer and proper flow.
The VMOD stock and the SS Ming are tied for second.
The Flat Tip is to short and gets warm.
The AFC is terrible, extreme tight draw even opened all the way up, and visually has a small inside diameter. (It works very well when dripping, using a GG Stealth and ProVari, attached to a 510-510 extender/atty with a drip shield, and this is the only other application I have tried it with)

Visually inspecting the inside diameter and wall thickness, the ming has the largest of both, then the VMOD tip comes in with the second largest inside diameter but comes in 4th with wall thickness. The glass tip has about the same inside diameter as the VMOD tip but the thinnest wall thickness...go figure it's glass :blush: The Flat tip has similar inside diameter as the VMOD as well but the outside diameter varies due to it's shape, thin wall on the flat surface, thicker wall on the curved surface. Come to think about it so does the ming, wall thickness must vary in venturi section. The AFC has the smallest inside diameter and the largest wall. But that is also variable due to it's design. Two piece design, larger outer tube accepts the smaller inner tube, threaded and sealed with tiny orings.

As much as I love the XL, I cancelled the orders I had for 2 of them, I am a little miffed about Vapage not giving updated info on shipping without going to search for it, plus no replacement parts for folks, I think I will hold off until they have this established and see how this thing plays out. So far my dad loves the one I gave him and I do have to say I miss it a BUNCH, but I am leary now should he have a part failure, he will be in a bind big time as it's the only PV he likes so far. I just pray nothing goes wrong with it. I have instructed him not to take it apart under any circumstances, he is to call me LOL !!

I'm right there with you KK. This is so frustrating, especialy since I already purchased some extra AMG's and Silo's in anticipation of the XL. Will give another day before I cancel my order, but I am really eyeing the VVPV and canceling my XL order will make it much easier to pull the trigger on another device. At the very least they could update their product page with new dates instead of still showing a ship date between Jan. 20-25!

Yep I have 5 packs of Silos sitting here now.....along with the attys......guess I will use them on another device for now... I think I am gonna try the HH 357 and the ciscos see how those compare.

hildicat I looked at the vvpv, but not fond of the tube running up the side, the device itself is SLICK, but the tube just looks wierd to me and totally detracts from it. I did pull the trigger on a Reo Grande tho, I really want my small form factor bottom feeder back, and it seems to be pretty darned dependable.

Congrats! You will love the Reo. Have had mine now for over a month and its a great device. Was really hoping the XL would be a nice counterpart because they use the same batteries. Seeing all the 'buzz' about VV vaping makes me want to try the VVPV, and REO is working on a VV version as well but its months away at best. Will probably be ordering one of those when they are released.

I have to say the idea of the small vv bottom feeder is a little exciting, I have yet to try vv,,,,want to tho
