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

[MaxPerilous]

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)

He said exactly what i was thinking. They don't come with shifu's but if you like what came with it. Order some shifu's =)

Hi,

I need Your help/advice:

I order A7 Rebuildable atty (A7 Rebuildable Atomizer - Avid Vaper), and i will try connect it to vmod.
I have a 510-510 connector (pics) but it hasnt side air holes, then i must do it - an this is my question: where ?
holes on side on the thread (above thread) or cuts like in BF hybrid atty ?
What would be better to feed juice corectly ?

Smilee, I just picked up a couple of those to play with on the XL, but haven't had time Here's how I did the 901 adapter, and it is the same principal for the A7. I drilled the hole on the side right above the thread area(right where an atty has them). But you have to make sure that the hole goes into the hollow center pin so the juice will go up into the center of the atty. Hope that helps

AT posted a pic of one one on his XL, maybe he'll come along and give an Idea of how he did it to make it feed

I thought that bore diagonally,
point1 - above the thread
poin2 - inside connector, next to the center pin
with this solution juice will tranfer to atty through the side hole, not through the center hole
see the pictures
what do you think ?

 

[Tat_skull]

That might work, but I cant say for sure. The reason I did the 901(and will do the 510) thru the center pin is so that it acts as a continuous tube up into the atty(like most BF's).

An atty will feed(and does) thru the side holes on a XL since there is a slight open area right where the holes are on atty's. Now when you add an adapter, you are taking that away since the adapter does not have the area around it like the XL, hence the need for a continuous tube. I could be wrong here, but it's the same principal as how I use 901's on my XL and it works perfectly for me in that way

 

[smilee]

I make holes and on standard atty its working good.
I must seal space between connector and atty because leak a bit.

I was replying to going online.. on the Vapage site. I don't know what they ship with the Vmods or XLs.

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...

VMODIANS call for help! (VMOD 2.0)

My squonk bottle, upon a squonk, is leaking out from where it screws in. Is there a common fix for this?

 

[smilee]

Maybe U lost bottle seal, check inside.

Can someone post a picture of what the bottle seal looks like? I'm fairly new to the VMOD.

Thank you, aiccucs! At least I know I didn't loose any seal / o-ring. I'm thinking this might be a bottle issue.

You need to be careful not to over squonk the bottle as well. I actually put a piece of velcro behind the bottle to make it easier to squonk. The bottle had a tendency to flatten out too much and was getting wear marks where it would touch the sides of the sleeve. Now it has a firmer feel when I squonk it.

Yeah, my bottle is getting wear marks too (although I've been vigilant about my squonks being more like light touches). I'm hoping Vapage gets more bottles in stock sooner than later so I can figure this thing out!

here's another tip.. put an o-ring on the neck of the bottle to prevent it from over tightning. I've been using the same bottle since my first V-MOD XL and have no issues at all.

+1 chadster. I've never once had a bottle issue since my first VMOD (which was a year and a half ago) after discovering that simple trick.

What I have noticed tho, is that sometimes the eliquid will form a sort of vapor lock bubble right at the neck of the bottle and liquid will not flow up. Simple fix to unscrew the bottle, poke out the bubble and vape on happily.

I couldn't stop myself.

Well done Bourbonman

That seal sure can vape! Lovin' it!

Ohhhhhhh my ... LOL!!! I have never even used a bottle seal with my XL!!! NOW I know what that little thing IS that comes in the package with the extra bottles!! Haha! Geeesh! I feel like a big dumbie!! So you put the seal on top of the bottle & screw it in ... Then the plastic seal stays up there??? Mine's been doing fine without the bottle seal (except for a few random leaks ... Maybe this is why!!). Does anybody else not use the bottle seal plastic thingie? WHAT exactly does it do anyway?
