Well...a suggestion was made that I post a picture..but no commitment was made! lol!! I'll see what I can do...not sure how useful a picture of some felt on the bottom of a Vmod would be, but we'll see how it goes. Will work on it. Soon.

There seems to be a delay with my "Cracks" shell, Silos and drip tips order. Got a tracking number Monday...but all it shows as happening so far is that the shipment info was received...and that notice didn't happen 'til late this afternoon (Tuesday). Bummer. I ordered early Friday morning! At this rate I will be lucky to even get it this week. Grrrr!
I have a few of the kick clones coming too, although I haven't seen a real one yet. Will soon see what those are about.
I have some of the copper sheets. Shoot me a PM and I can drop a few in the mail tomorrow. I stacked 3 of the sheets together and it worked pretty well. I think you could get away with stacking 2 sheets and the kick will still be held steady.
I received my Vmod XL yesterday. I had spent the last few days using my chrome Provari 2.0, with a drip tip, an iClear 30 and a Vision Vivi Nova.
Impressions: I only used the included atomizer, not the cart. The first 10 draws or so had a bit of a burnt taste, but that went away, and every raw after that was very consistent and flavorful. I used a tobacco-flavored eliquid I picked up from Vape NY last week, and it definitely tasted better than the iClear 30 and Vision Vivi Nova, and was about equivalent to the drip tip with a 2.2 Ohm atomizer on the Provari.
I will be toying with a Kanger Protank and Kanger EVOD on the Provari as well, and other atomizers at different resistances with a drip tip on the Provari in the coming weeks, but the Vmod as-is is a very pleasant, consistent experience. I am still waiting for a slew of eliquids, mostly 100% VG and some organic, from 3 different vendors, as I begin to sample and pick what I like.
I got the burled wood case, which looks IMO much nicer than the stock silver matte case. More importantly, it FEELS better, as pointed out to me at Vape NY. It feels... sexual, like a velvety skin.
I purchased a number of chrome drip tips from Vape NY. Chrome drip tips look GREAT with the burled wood. GREAT. I bought a long neck and a couple of stubby tips. Spike at Vape NY mentioned that the stubby tips, which I originally purchased from her with the Provari, might be too short for the Vmod XL (she uses a Vmod XL), as they might bring the Vmod XL too close to my face. I did not find this to be the case. Both stubby and long neck tips worked well, but of course, the stubbies worked a tad better, as they leave less travel distance for the vapors to exit the tip.
I also picked up one of those fail safe devices for the battery for the Vmod XL from Vape NY. While both the included flat top battery and the button top battery I used in the Vmod fit with this device, the included flat top battery needed a much firmer press to fire. The button top battery needed what I believe to be a proper amount of force to fire. The included flat top needed a firm press, it felt unnatural and uncomfortable to have to press so much to get it to fire. I have not tried the batteries without the device, and do not intend to. I suspect this issue is further exacerbated if the device is not placed with the battery in the Vmod XL, as it would mean even more space in the battery section, which means the included flat top would need an even firmer, deeper press, but I do not intend to test this theory. Vmod XL go BOOM = bad.
Funny aside: I also ordered a burled case from Vapage, but accidentally ordered the smaller size for the regular Vmod. Interestingly enough, I like the smaller size this case implies, and may end up ordering the Vmod 2.0 as a THIRD device, since it seems even more pocketable, which is important for us men folk during the jacket-free summer months - unless I time travel back to 1999 and begin using a Ferragamo man purse. Which, no. Although it would come in handy to shove aside the throngs of fools who insist on walking on the left hand side of Manhattan's sidewalks. *sigh*
Thank you to the host of folks in this thread, especially fourthrok, who convinced me in the hundreds of posts here and the predecessor thread to try the Vmod XL.

Hi Kataphraktos, glad you like the VmodXL
I find that everyday using mine is making me appreciate the ease and quality vaping has with a good bottom feeder. Of course so far my experience is limited to Vmod but am glad that it is the one i chose.

Hello everyone I will be taking a trip and flying soon. I would like to take my Vmods on the plane and stealth vape in the bathroom. Does anyone know if the Vmod will have leaking issues due to the pressure? Last time I was on the plane with a DCT tank it leaked everywhere.
Maybe just don't fill the bottle all the way up? Leave a half inch or something? Then carry another bottle (not quite full, too) as back up while on the plane. Maybe that would work.
I've never had leaking issues with any version of the Vmod on the outside of the body/shell.
I've flown with my Vmods several times and only once had a drop or two inside the chassis, but I'm not sure if that was due to the air pressure or just time for a bath.
It's a good tip to not have a really full bottle. That is probably what happened this last time as I had filled up my little guy for travel. (I rarely fill the XL all the way.)
On the other hand, various stardust/vision versions stored in a plastic bag do get rather damp.

My 2 XL's are my travelling companions.
Never fill more than 3/4 full when flying though. Still gives you 14 odd ml which is enough for a 4 day trip for me with another bottle and 3 battery's...you know in case.
Had a fantastic VMod vaping day today. Left my genys at home and just took the XL and it was just one of those great vape days.
Shame work was the same as normal but at least the vape was good!

Hello fellow VMOD users. I'm hoping I might be able to get some help with a leaking issue I've been having. I searched this thread and found a little info about leaks around the top of the bottle/threaded area, and that's what I'm experiencing. I first had the problem last week (after using the VMOD 2.0 for 2-3 week), but the problem went away after I switched the bottle. Today I started having leaking again. I've inspected the bottle very carefully and can see no signs of cracks in the neck area or anything.
Are there any other known causes of leaking? I've got more bottles on order from vapage, but I'm really hoping I can figure this out, because this is the device I use for work and nothing in my arsenal is really going to be a suitable replacement for that.
Thanks,
Ace

It's possible your Vmod needs a nice rinse/bath in some warm water! If you are using thick-ish juice it could be a little clogged. My e-juice is thin, but I bathe my Vmod about once a/week anyway. Really does it some good!
Hmm, interesting. So you can just rinse/soak the whole thing in water (after taking the battery out of course
)? If so, when I finish cleaning it are there any special steps I need to take to make sure water doesn't stay in certain areas where it shouldn't be?
Just wash the chassis. No soap...just swish it in some hot water and rinse under the faucet. I blow into the top to encourage the wet to come out the feed chamber. Wipe it down all over with a clean soft cloth, then use a blow dryer a few minutes to be sure the switch contact and the feed chamber and threaded areas are dry. It only takes a few minutes for me...and then I'm back vaping.
Sounds straightforward enough. I'm gonna go try this right now. Thanks for the help!
So I gave my VMOD 2.0 a thorough cleaning with hot water and no doubt that was a good idea. That said...I'm still having the leaking issue.
I had the same trouble and it was fixed by changing bottles, too. I am wondering if it's the amount of pressure used in squonking that may be torquing the bottle out of alignment while it is threaded. Then, once distorted, it doesn't go back so it starts leaking. Not sure, just my hypothesis. I put a tiny square of the receiving end of some velcro tape behind the bottle (on the post that separates it from the battery) to minimize the amount of distortion created on the bottle. So far no more leaks. Just a thought.
ARRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got a package from Vapage today. EVERYTHING I ordered is in the package EXCEPT the "Cracks" design shell I'd specifically ordered, and was looking most forward to!!!!
I am shattered!!!
