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

[tearose50]

It's been typed that the Vmod is one of the hardest hitting 14500 devices made. There is very little internal resistance or something techy like that, which makes the difference. Still, the drop off in power will happen quicker with a 14500 than an 18650.

I am an 18650 fan. I find I get that "fresh battery" feel much much longer. Plus, if you get an XL you could always make it Kick ready and have a ball.

And, I do like AW batteries the best.

Perfect, more of that new battery vape is what I'm looking for.Thank you.

OH -- and keeping the contacts cleaned helps too. Vmods do like baths.

There is a bunch of stuff on the forum about cleaning contacts----but I can't begin to cite them. Fernand, where are you?

Thanks again Tearose.Ok so I got a HH357 1.5 delivered today and considering it has not been broken in the flavor and vapor
after an hour of use is incredible compared to the 306 I normally use.

Haven't quite figured out how to feed it well with the VMOD but dripping with it its awesome.

I spent a day or two dripping the 357 to get an idea how to vape it.

Gave up lol

Just bunged it on the VMod in the end and squelching was getting some dry hits. On the drive into work one day remembered a post by Ferdand about gravity feeding it and all has been good since.

[mikeymack]

what exactly is gravity feeding and how is it done properly?

 

[Atlantisboy]

Thats what I was going to ask but man this flavor is incredible

 

[Andy Thatcher]

The VMod is not attached via neoprene tube as I am sure you have seen.

There fore not only can you squeeze the bottle to feed but also tilt the bottle letting the juice flow to the atty through...wait for it.....gravity.

Thanks my dobies, I like yours too

Getting to grips with the HH357 and really like it, only problem is when I go back to my 306 doesn't seem as good!

I guess more HH 357's in my future , it's a CISCO conspiracy I tell you , LOL.

Long lasting atty's, I'm at 6 and a half months on an Ikenvape LR(1.8) 901 And heres the kicker, never cleaned(except for the occasional blow through) and never dry burned, and the flavor and performance are still WAAAAY up there

I echo a loud shout out for IKV. My Cannons (2.5Ω and 2.0Ω) are still hitting like there's no tomorrow. They are used nearly daily. I got them....

June 30th, 2011.

Happy Vape-a-versary, my dear Cannons!

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Hmmm another for the list.

Curious that the list never seems to get shorter. Keep working at it but it keeps growing lol

My i06 came in today but I don't see my hh dying anytime soon so it will be awhile before it goes in

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Three weeks in with mine and no hick ups so far being used daily.

Going to take it to a month then put it in rotation with my others to see if I do miss it compared to the others.

Yeah, you just have to develop you own rhythm and method, you'll arrive at the best balance. The 357 is a little tricky, and with just the standard feeding it swings from too wet to too dry (and vice versa) easily. Once you add the tilt feeding mode, it all falls into place. I don't even think about it now, I just vape. It's only when I stop to think about it that I realize I'm only occasionally squirshing, and mostly tilt-feeding, because once it gets going, it just keeps going. It's like a pump you prime until it flows and flows. Sooner or later I get a little juice in my mouth, or something happens, and I "start over" to get to that level again.

@Andy. I gotta hear your impression when you try to take that 357 off. Oh, i've tried. And it always goes right back on because the flavor is unequalled. I have an IKV 1.8 that I used to like a lot. It makes great vapor ... that tastes blank. The Vapage gold bottom Hybrid I liked at first has been dumped into the "misc" box. I'm not into any kind of contest here, just reporting my tragic dependence on a single atomizer.

Yes, tragic, it is my gold standard and I have setup's that come really close.... this combo is my traveler. I use the others at home but will pick this up for a comparison, wins every time.
