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

[Racehorse]

BTW, I didn't kill the wick dry-burning..........at least not on purpose. I don't dry burn to clean.

I just happened to have dry burned it while it was inside the darn vmod. Oh well, maybe it was time.

I just use "dry burn" for lack of saying... toasted it by mistake when there was not enough juice in there, and for enough time to char it badly.
A "dry burn" when cleaning is supposed to burn the juice residue off; it's dangerous to an extent too because it can weaken the coil if you don't do it right...
Better to just say; I "burnt the wick and the burnt taste won't go away...
- this stuff happens until instinctively you avoid it; IF that is what happened....
The flip side is that you need a certain amount of oxidation on the coil to get it broken in and tasting optimal. This is rather new info, and I guess found out from using Hybrids where you can see what's going on, and of course rba's.
In any case, there is nothing quite like the occasion of setting up with a spanking NEW atomizer!!! yeah!

hi,

do you know the trick of improving negative wire in vmod xl?

I added an extra wire between the negative spring and washer over the bottle, and voltage under load is greater up to 10%.

At 4.2-4.3 V and LR atty (1.7 ohms) it does not change anything, but at 3.8 V quite a bit.

Example:

18650 batt (AW imr, SANYO icr, icr VAPAGE)

no-load, no additional wire:
1) measured between the poles of batt 4.27 V
2) measurement between the negative field of batt and atomizer housing / vent stack / washer over a bottle: 4.27 V

under load (1.7 ohm atty), without extra wire:
1) measured between the poles of batt: 4.08 V
2) measurement between the negative field of batt and casing
atomizer / vent stack / washer over the bottle: 3.80 V

with extra wire, load

measurement between the negative field of batt and casing
atomizer / vent stack / washer over the bottle: 4.06 V

at low voltage each 0.1V is a better vaping

Nice find smilee

Couple things -

Can this be done on the 2.0?

And, can you give us non-mechanical people a step by step about how to do this?
I admit, my complain about the 2.0 is a lack of 'oomph'.
I usually vape at ~4.2 with a 2.4Ohm clearo - on the 2.0, I'm using the 3.7 batt with a 1.5ohm shifu and don't feel like I'm getting the hit.

I'd love to up the power a bit and see if that helps.

PLEEEEEEEEEAAAASE???!!!

I second this motion put forth by my lettuce-headed friend!

SMILEE!

Your eager public is awaiting your wisdom!!

Photos closeup would help me. Word explanations for stuff like this leaves me jaw dropped
Sounds gREAT though

 

[MaxPerilous]

Liking the way that sounds smilee. Thanks for posting it up.

I'm sure this will work for the 2.0 as well.

in v2 can do this too,

So I've had my vmod for a couple days now and am loving the atomizer that came with it. I went online to order a couple more of them and can't figure out what it is. It says vapage 2.0 ohm hybrid BF. It isn't gold on the bottom so can't be the universal and the only other one is the 'shifu" isn't it? Or am I missing something?

Also, do we know when the 4.5 ml bottles will be available again?

They told me 9 days ago "within the next 2 weeks".

the Vapage 1.5 and 2.0 Ohm hybrid BF is shifu...The universal is NOT shifu spec.
Shifu spec = SUPER

hope this helps

Thanks axolotly! Will be past when my 20% off code expires though

Yeah, I'm in the same boat, and I plan on stocking up on a bunch of them.

 

[sheryder]

Ukeman- are you saying the one I have is a shifu? The universal has gold on the bottom and this one doesn't. I don't see any other options available...

 

[sheryder]

The coils on this aren't perfectly straight (slanted somewhat) but neither do they appear quite as slanted as the pic in post 969 of the shifu.

Me too ....once I figure out what to order .

 

[Tat_skull]

I'm not sure if the "kits" have been upgraded with "Shifu" spec But let me tell you if you liked the one in the kit and it's not a "Shifu", then you will LOVE the "shifu" spec(Hybrid BF)
