The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage.com

Knew that and knew there was something amiss when I was typing but at 1:30 just couldn't pull all the threads together lol

Temptation got the better of me so I broke out the Aero today.

Initially behaved liked you read about the 357 being very spitty. Put on a drip tip with a piece of plastic inverted at the base of the drip tip and as with other spitty atty's issue over.

Been vaping it for about 3 hours now and initially it is behind the Cisco LR 306 in terms of both flavour and vapor. Tried hitting it hard with short sharp draws as suggested and no real difference.

Let's see what 24 hours brings. It is certainly not really that much behind the 306 but certainly isn't exceeding it.

you're brave to try the Cisco 1.5 306 if that's what you have... i've been using 1.8's only for a long time as it was early on that i decided a good 1.5 was too hot for me....
the Aero did take a day to settle down, but i'm not a good squonker anyway...

Great Sahil. Look forward to hearing from you.

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Welcome !

Be interesting to see how a REO user fairs.

I must say, Dana, I love Vapage Silos. They seem to last a bit longer than most of my other cartos, but I do also love Ressurectors. And I'm actually an atty girl who is now in a carto and tank phase of her vape life. What was said before is so true in my opinion: Keep them wet.

themysterious, have you used 5v vaping on your VMOD XL? Just curious. It's another one of my favorite vaping styles. Might heat things up a bit for ya.

Andy, I'm a big proponent in the idea of rotation. I have cleaned, not cleaned, rotated, not rotated. All in all, from my own experience, sometimes it doesn't seem to matter. In fact, I think I've actually RUINED some attys by cleaning them, which makes no sense, but hey, this is far from an exact science. I think I rotate because I get some funky taste and it IS time to clean them. That prolly didn't help to answer your question at all, LOL!


Tat, my sweet. Here's to you getting your XL soon!!!!!!!!!

 

[ukeman]

you should be pleasantly surprised Sahil, i have both a Grand and an XL... both are really good, which is why the price point of the XL is amazing. The XL has a different look and different juice collar squonk design, which for me doesn't matter because i'm a lousy squonker... i try to err on the side of caution, because over feeding is worse than underfeeding imo. You can always add a little more, and to tell the truth, I often drip at home just to save juice for the road - although they both have large bottles. That's why i invest in good drip tips for all my mods... pyrex or SS. I like the Ming style steel ones. Both are good for dripping.I don't ever bother with cartomizers but hear there's some good things about them.

I've got too many mods, but would not give up either the XL or the Reo.

Let's see how this cleaning works out.

The Smart Vapes Atty draw has become really tight and have a Hybrid that is tasting a bit funky after 3 days.

Have the 306 and Aero so.....

 

[Tat_skull]

Tat, my sweet. Here's to you getting your XL soon!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Kat Thanks to Brian, my XL is coming home Now lets see if I can find a kick for it, my Galileo doesn't like to share

 

[mikeymack]

I was looking to try some different atty's for the XL. avidvaper does not have stainless steel in stock for either the long barrel 357 or the aero. Will the matte black fit the XL?

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Yep.

Aero fits perfectly. Using it now. Cisco barrels are a little shorter than the Hybrid so do not rise above the cone.

The Long Barrel 357 will leave some barrel above the cone. Not enough to to stop me buying one when I have Atty room and they are available.

 

[mikeymack]

Thanks Andy but my question is do I need to buy them in stainless or not? When you say your using them right now are you using them in matte black? Does the matte black finish make it thicker so it wouldn't fit?

Apologies colour makes no difference.

The barrel diameter remains constant with Cisco's and most attys. I06's maybe different.

 

[mikeymack]

Thanks just wasn't sure if the finish on the black made them thicker like a sticker on a black boge carto.

The color of the barrel makes no difference. The plating on the barrel is very minimal....

 

[Andy Thatcher]

I have a couple of silver, black and some red LR 510's and the XL does it's job.

Not like cartos and tanks if that was your concern.

 

[Dana A]

Woops.... Sorry replied to the wrong post.

Do these work with the drip tip that comes with the vmod?
Atomizers, Cartomizers, Clearomizers :: 510 CARTOMIZERS :: Boge 510 Cartomizers :: 5-Pack Boge 510 Black LR Cartomizers :: Age verification - Freedom Smoke USA
I am liking the carto that came with the vmod just not the price, or can anyone recommend another carto that works well?
And yes I have searched this long thread

 

[Dana A]

congrads tronny! I just got mine last Friday. I got a nic buzz within 20 min of opening it because it gave so much more vapor than my pen style LOL How do you like the silo carto that came with it?

Just wanted to share that i just got my first Vmod XL today....actually my first mod ever....just had the battery in for about half an hour and im already lovin it!!! thanks to everyone who raved about it on this thread and convinced me can't wait for the new case/cone combos to come out for the xl.

 

[Dana A]

OK guys... I have only tried a Joye 510 and the atty that came with my xl and they both taste like metal to me. This is why I am afraid to spend ant more to try out any more different ones. Does anyone else have this same issue or am I just a weirdo?
