And in the meantime, vapage will continue to warranty vmods with manufacturing issues, and even if you gotta hold it together somehow, don't sweat it, vapage will still warranty it!! Happy vaping vmodians

I am running late for work so do not have time to look it up myself like I normally would. Would someone mind breaking down the differences and pros and cons of the Vmod 2.0 vs the Vmod XL? Is it just size?

Thanks

 

[Atlantisboy]

Just size and battery life, I have both.

 

[GobblerHunter]

What Atlantis said.... I too have both... The Vmod 2.0 is great for carrying in a shirt pocket... The Vmod XL is a little heavy for a shirt pocket but, works great in a pants pocket and last tons longer due to the bigger battery.... Both are great!! And, each have their nitch...........

So got the new attys 1.5ohms and have been using them on my vmod for about half an hour. So far this is what I've got...

I am not being critical just honest first impressions.

They have quite a tight draw on the vmod.

They are a little spitty.

They have good flavor but not as good as the Cisco 306 I am used to using. I am hoping that the flavor will improve after breaking in just like the HH357 does.

Good vapor production.

The coils are really nicely wrapped

So thats what I've got so far , I will be interested to hear other peoples thoughts when they receive them.

My XL and i guess that means all XL's hardly require any squeezing to get juice in the atty. It's been called "tilt and feed" or tilt and fire here. Which means if you tilt it, the juice will go into the bottom of the atty and just the slightest squeeze does the job while tilted if necessary.
I make sure not to tighten the collar / cone too much.

I can't imagine squeezing the bottle that hard unless it was low on juice. Whenever I get low , around a 1/4 tank, I refill just because it's a difficult squeeze. For the most part, the metal feeding/drip well construction is going to absorb that stress anyhow. Lifting the shell off causes this area to be struck by the window opening sometimes. Yep, a vertical crack on the seam I can understand but a horizontal one across the seams baffles me.

 

[ukeman]

my expectation is they will be as good as the Aero, which is almost as good as the 357 in flavor etc.

I ordered 2 last night as I'm down to my last Aero. Hoping they are close.

Notice that there is a discount code for 50% off Vapage goods at the moment. Think I saw it in the Steals and Deals section.

Well since getting my replacement XL, thank you Vapage and Brian !, gone through a run of atty deaths. Got to my last 4 Hybrids, not new one's I hasten to add, and they are ohming in at 1.0 out of the package and really not a vape I am enjoying. My extended 306 drip tips seem to have gone missing so can't play with the Vivi Nova rebuildables for the moment so doing something I haven't done in 2 months.

I dug out a carto. I have been on an atty kick be it rebuildable genesis or "normal" as I went through a few dodgy cartos regards taste but thought what the heck.

Had a rummage and found a nice new Resurrector and plugged it in the XL. Using my homemade Apple Pie 100% VG and....

Have to say I am enjoying the hell out of it lol Hitting like a train, awesome flavour and tons of vape. Have a couple of Silo's around here somewhere and will plug one of those in next.

To reiterate what Ukeman said may as well be a unsquirshable bottle. Use gravity feed all the time with this mod. The only time I touch the bottle is when I have overfed and need a vape now rather than be patient for a minute or two and let the juice drain back.

Pretty certain that all the issues I have had with the XL have been a result of me over squirshing and overtightening the bottle causing leaking.

Just a case of holding the PV at an angle that feeds the juice to your atty/carto and vape.

How those 357's behaving in the XL Ukeman ?

I got one of those coupon codes from them in my EMail, but it say's 1 time use only!! I'm not sure, but I think those were individual codes(user specific) that they sent out since a friend of mine got one also, but it was for 20% rather than 50

I used the code yesterday on a 2nd Vmod XL and a couple of those new attys and it worked for me.

Thanks for the code AT I don't know why I didn't get sent one I have bought several Vmods from them

But I used it anyway and bought another one

Still not sure on the new attys , the draw is too tight for me, probably will work better on a non bottom feeding mod with a drip shield like in AG's video review.

 

[GobblerHunter]

Just a heads up to those that have recently ordered the ShiFu Spec Slant Coil atomizer. There must be some of the old style Hybrid BF atomizers left laying around. I'm should it was just a mistake that I received the olde style atomizers. So, check your order to make sure you receive the ShiFu atomizers. I have sent customer service an email asking them to correct the problem but, now I got to wait on order to arrive.

 

[Atlantisboy]

Gobble Hunter maybe thats my problem , how do I now if I have the new ones?

 

[GobblerHunter]

The ShiFu Spec atomizers are suppose to be individually wrapped in the two twin pick. If you look down at the coil it should be diagonal across the juice cup not straight across. Look back at http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-cigarette-video-reviews/293306-vmod-xl-18650-bottom-feeding-mod-vapage-com-part-2-a-58.html#post6791976 for a picture..........

[GobblerHunter]

I wish mine were..........
