Wow, quite the deal. I wonder if there is something new coming.

I thought that last time, when there were 2 back-to-back 50% off sales. Alas........

Only thing that I'd be interested in is a vmod that is VV. I was going to say not plastic, but it is precisely the plastic chassis that makes it light and portable, and that's one of the features I like, despite it's fragility over let's say a reo.

I have one of the VMod XL and would love to own the smaller VMod too. I was really hoping and watching for a 50% off sale vs the buy one get one sale... which is a great sale but unfortunately one I can't afford atm. For some reason I never received notification of the other 50% off sales :( Oh well :) I hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving and enjoys the black friday sales!

Hi Racehorse - I Kicked mine with a 18490, and it works pretty well, others have too. Running it at approx 8.5 watts. Would be nice to have some kind of exterior access to adjust, but we'll see. There's a Youtube clip from a guy in the Philippines (I think) who incorporated a DNA board in his. Can't find the URL right now. Will look around. Fun stuff.

I love buy one get one sales lol.

Ever since I bought a VMOD XL for myself... My wife has had a VMOD XL :facepalm:

Trying to get my mom off the stinkies and she's having a lot of issues with her other setup I gave her. So Bought a XL and a 2.0 So now my mom and I both with have one of each.

My wife just loves hers (mine).

I'm kind OCD about having too many things....I have 14500 and 18650 batts, and I just don't want a 3rd kind in my life LOL Bet your thing vapes like a monster though! Envy.

Vmod and Ego Twists are more than I can keep up with already LOL I just don't have time for anything else, I almost had to give up my other hobbies for vaping LOL Actually, they are suffering a little bit

Vape mail just goes to prove that Mondays aren't always the worst day of the week. :D

Got my hybrids today! After carefully making sure I dropped what I hoped were enough drops of juice to prevent any mishaps (and I did), I am now enjoying TH and vapor again!! Whoo hoo! The flavor wasn't quite as spectacular as I had hoped at first but seems to be improving as the evening wears on. I would imagine that, just like any atty, there is a bit of a break in period until they reach their full potential but, even at that, the flavor is way better than what I've had to date.

Man, I'm just loving my VMod XL and now, with the Hybrid atties ... vaping bliss for this old gal!

How's your battery life with the 18490 versus the 18650? I have a Kick that I bought for my XL, but haven't installed it yet since the ShiFu atomizers are doing me just fine. Was seriously looking at installing it under the bottle, but I'm not sure I want to mod all of my bottles.

It's obviously lesser, but I am getting like 4-5 hours from the 18490. I have a bunch of different mods, so I'm not hitting off of the VMod constantly. Runs great though. :) I would really like to find a Chalice II atomizer for this thing, but I might have a better chance winning the lottery.

I'll have to either do it under the bottle or not at all then, probably. That's one of the major points I like about this device is that one battery lasts me all day. I switch hit between it and a provari for flavor variety

I get on average 8-10 solid hours of vape time with the 18490 and kick @ 10 watts. I was getting about 24-26 hours with the 18650's. It isn't too bad IMO, I just make sure if I am going to be out of the house for the entire day I carry a spare battery with me in whatever car I am driving for that day. This is the only device I vape and vape it all day. It actually is beyond my original expectations. I assumed I would only get 4-5 hours, so I am very happy with the performance. I vape on average of about 4 mils per day and get around 3 before I need to change out the battery.

there was a delay on the shipping notification email that they are sending out. I already received the VMod XL I ordered before I got the shipping notification email. I suggest to get on the chat and give them your order number so they can provide you with a tracking number.

Wow, that's actually some great battery life. Have to wonder what you're doing different than I am. Maybe it's the atty ohms. What are you running?

I get on average 8-10 solid hours of vape time with the 18490 and kick @ 10 watts. I was getting about 24-26 hours with the 18650's.

Well goll-dang, I know it shouldn't really matter, but I'm running a 2ohm Joyetech XL atty. Wonder if it's the material I used for the ground circuit. Maybe it's causing low battery pulses prematurely. I'll have to do some checking this weekend. How are you coming up with your set wattage? I'm going by an assumption mine is set around 8.5 or so by screw setting.

Cisco spec LR306 1.5ohm....
