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.

Awesome! I have only used 2 different juices - the ones in my sig. I know they both are a mix of PG & VG, I just don't know what percentage. Maybe thinner juice works better?

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.

I put the Vapage battery to the test yesterday, put the 18650 batt in yesterday morning at 5am freshly charged, vaped until 2:30am this morning and never had a loss in vapor or taste. To give you an idea of how much I vape, I was 3pad smoker and pretty much chain vape. I had a Boge lr 2.0 carto on it.

That's really good! :)

The batts I've been using last longer in the XL than they ever have in any other mechanical device I've owned.
 
i have been following this thread, and decided to pull the trigger on the xl, and now its just my luck out of stock...ahhhh

I am in the same boat. Any idea when they will be in stock. How long will the 25% discount be running?

edit: It does appear that they have VMOD XL Premium Kits though. hmmmmmm

VMOD XL Premium Kit

The link leads me to believe otherwise; however, it doesn't have any details or a pic so not sure.

That link does go to "VMOD XL Premium Kit". My mistake, I checked the website before I made last post and couldn't find a VMOD XL Premium Kit. Your link takes me there but, I can't get there from the vapage website.

On the juice issue, i think I'm a good reference point on the scale in case anyone is thinking thinner juice is necessary, as i barely thin my DIY, it's over 90% glycerin (maybe 2-5% PG in there from flavoring and 3-5% water). It feeds fine. And talk about vapor! My dog walked out into the cloud and i haven't seen him since!
