The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

[Racehorse]

Attys on their site are almost double what cartos are, are they worth it?

Most definitely yes.

A carto, due to batting, will not last a real long time.

You will find that the Vapage AMG Hybrid atties are some of the best you can buy, short of going with a $25 a piece Cisco HH357 which I don't suggest to newbies.

If you care for your hybrid atties properly, they can last months. I had a Vapage hybrid going for almost 5 months .....some didn't make it that long, but it is "possible" if you care for them properly. Unlike some vapers, I never dry burn anything, just blow out, keep clean, keep moist with some plain unflavored pg/vg when not in use.

The flavor will be amazing, compared to a carto.

This may be buried deep in this thread, but can you use the smaller vmod bottle in the vmod xl?

I believe the top screw part will fit although the issue will be with it not sitting next to the chassis because of size comparison and this will definitely put a strain on the bottle when squanking. Also my guess would be that it would relatively high in the window and not be very convienant. I received several by mistake from vapage but sent back for the XL ones. I never used one but comparing it side by side those would be my guesses.

Sits too high in the window, and has too much torque horizontally between the side walls of the chassis.

 

[joeldworkin307]

But with a spacer on the other side of the bottle, this could solve the 18650 kick issue.

The smaller bottle is all I use with my VMOD-XL. I put two layers of 3M foam mounting strips on the chassis to keep bottle stable when squeezing it.

MY VMOD XL ARRIVED TODAY! I am a happy camper. Next up, my kick.

Are those Cisco ones still available for $25? Where do you buy those?

HH.357 Cisco Spec Hybrid Atomizers. It's long but you might want to watch the video on the HH.357 product pages.

Johnny, I would not start out with the HH357. The cisco spec 306s are a much loved favorite by many here, including me.
you get 2 for $19.99
Cisco LR306 Atomizer + Drip Tip Special - Avid Vaper

Read thru this topic front to back, and you will see a lot of the atty discussions that have gone on here

However, the shifu Vapage hybrids are so good, to be honest, I have an HH357 and it sits in the drawer. I am and was getting 3-4+ months out of the Vapage slant coil hybrid atties. One I had going for almot 6 months.

there are 2 in the classies right now if you have your heart set on them, go look.

I just got my cisco 306 and 2 510s and none of them are feeding in my vmod. HHHEEEEEEEEEELLLLLPPP.

I used 306 with some trick:

Take emty barell from any old 510 atty, plastic standard barrel from 306. Cut plastic barell and fit 306 with cuted plastic barrell in barell from 510. Now You have hybrid atty 510 with 306 inside and for was waorked great.

 

[joeldworkin307]

I'm not sure how that helps if they won't feed in the first place. Also don't have spare attys to mod right now.

 

[smilee]

This 306 have side airholes in thread ? Try make it bigger.

I posted this over in the XL/RDA thread of Eddie's and thought i'd share it here as well for informational purposes...

Sad day for my XL!! Spring collapsed in it and almost had a battery meltdown. I kinda knew it was coming at some point. The last few times I was tightening the Igo-L down I noticed it would thread just a little farther on to it and then it happened... Hard short! Spring collapsed and it is toasted!!! Not sure if the spring can be replaced in it, but I think it is just a little out of the parameters of my modding abilities. I think what happened was the 510 connector broke down inside, (threaded about a 1/2 turn more than usual), that caused the wiring to short it out. Positive touched the negative...It's pretty much spare parts now... It was a good run at the very least and opened up my eyes to possibilities... So for those of you that are modding your XL's with RDA's, be careful as the same may happen to you. I don't know what I could've done to prevent it, (other than not do it at all), but you don't learn unless you try!!! Maybe mom was right after all with her words of wisdom!!! I might break down and spring for a new XL or maybe another BF out there that can take an RDA, don't know... I have recently ventured out into the world of RBA's and have had good luck with those so far... Now i'm down to my Natural/RSST setup and my Ikarus 2.1... I'm glad I at least had those to back me up in the time being. The XL/Igo-L setup was working so good till the end though... I think just a little longer 510/510 connection would make it fool proof. Maybe I'll shoot an email over to Shifu and see about the possibility to make a connector that will work... Anyway, here is a pic of the collapsed spring for those that have never seen one....

A moment of silence...

That's just sad, muzic.

All these recent issues have caused me to set up my XL with a reliable AW IMR 18650 batt, and a reliable Shifu slant coil atty on top. I wanted to use my A7 on top, but I find it doesn't feed. I wanted to Kick the XL, but we all know my modding skills just haven't been up to the task.

Perhaps the "mod" in VMOD does not refer to modding it...

Hope you find a new one ASAP!

 

[TBinAZ]

Fix source of hard short, and then screw a replacement hot spring (trimmed as necessary and upside down) onto collapsed spring. Fixed.

 

[Crocky]

Where did you source the hot spring from? I am looking for one for another mod but looks like it Would use the same size as the one in my vmod XL

 

[Rsbernie]

They Hybrid atties are expensive. How do you all clean then? Are there better cheaper ones anywhere?
