the Vmod

[Vchick]

Just a little correction ----- GrimmGreen did check in here and got some good advice. As you may recall, he had a big leaking problem. Not so after chatting with us here on the feed system----and then he did the review. I believe this was in August, and quite a bit prior to the new chassis & catch cup addition.

Has he done another review since then that I haven't seen?

I haven't see anything, but interesting you would bring him up.......Since I can't seem to get my act together to get my video finished from VaperCon, we'll have to settle for bits & pieces, I do have a pic..........

Congrats AG!

 

[Kasia]

OK... I spent a few hours in the kitchen to prepare this... for you AG...
and Congratulations !
Because I was "made in Poland" (living in US more than twenty years) I prepered for you
only Polish goodies.

Hope you will enjoy !


pork chops

Gołąbki [ɡɔˈwɔmpki] are a form of cabbage rolls or stuffed peppers.
They are a traditional Polish dish made from lightly boiled cabbage leaves and/or peppers,
which are wrapped in a parcel-like manner around minced pork or beef,
chopped onions and/or rice or barley; baked in a casserole dish in a tomato sauce.

Pierogi are dumplings of unleavened dough - first boiled, then they are baked or
fried usually in butter with onions - traditionally stuffed with potato filling, ...

nut cake

@tierra, this is crazy. No, I have not read the entire thread. Problems have been mentioned and some solved, but considering they are still with us, an ongoing discussion is to be expected as new people get a Vmod.

What claim is offensive? That glycerin decomposes reliably at 280 degrees to form acrolein? You need links to believe this?

That it's toxic? OK, here are some links:

http://www.epa.gov/iris/toxreviews/0364tr.pdf
Acrolein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://ugrj.ucr.edu/journal/volume2/SeanBrady.pdf

"Acrolein can be deadly in concentrations of 10 parts
per million. The chemical is toxic if swallowed, inhaled, or
absorbed through skin, and is a potential carcinogen."

That IMHO it's impossible to test to cover all the positions of coil and juice so as to say there's no possibility of acrolein being created until 30 seconds have elapsed? People debate test methodologies all the time, questioning results, it's not "bashing". Vapage didn't publicly make that claim. AG reported this, and I explained why the 30 second claim makes no sense to me, given juice sloshing around with the temp of the glowing wire

Current Temperature Characteristics of Nichrome (straight wire) | Pelican Wire
Nichrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the chance of no acrolein being produced until 30 seconds have elapsed is, let's say, highly improbable.

Bad atties happen, don't you think it's best they be returned? More important than "etiquette", I think, even if you somehow think only a remote chance of acrolein exposure exists, is to warn users of the possible danger. Vapage knows this is a defect that needs to be corrected, they certainly didn't do this on purpose, and nobody is out to sue them or do them harm. Don't you think it's important to tell people to watch for the loose coil attys and get these defectives exchanged? Vapage can only be too happy to have such attys returned. People shouldn't be vaping those. If you still think that's an unsubstantiated opinion, I don't know how or why. There's a crowd with torches and pitchforks in an adjacent forum lynching a vendor that sold incorrectly diluted nicotine. That problem could have been contained if the product had been recalled. Sweeping a problem under the rug is disastrous, and AG saying there's no danger until after 30 seconds of heating is sweeping it under the rug. There's something I'm missing here. Is it really doing Vapage a favor? Shouldn't there rather be a warning/disclaimer about these attys?

@Kat, I think the Vmod is one of several practical ways to have "all-day" vaping. None of these systems are perfect. It's unrealistic to paint any of them as free of problems, and every sensible person knows that. Openness and discussion is a better approach, it's not "disrespectful". Many people who buy a Vmod after hearing nothing but endless praise will feel angry. Because it takes some fiddling. Then Vapage gets harmful reviews and very negative word of mouth. For instance, if GrimmGreen had seen the Vmod users acknowledging and actively solving the same problems he ran into, he probably would have been kinder, and more involved. There are also people who like and use every system as-is, and there are some who give up; the Vmod is like anything else. I'm pretty sure you see my point.

Yep, the VMOD is essential to my arsenal, as I am one that definItely vapes all day (and nite!). Nope, no system is perfect, yet.

Ah, Fernand, I don't really know what people will feel when they buy a VMOD, but I doubt there is anyone who has heard nothing but praise at this point! Levity.

I do see your point. Onwards, vapers!

 

[tierrataz]

Fernand I will not battle with a troll. Vapage testing is not valid in your opinion, and you attack the messenger???

Interesting you bring up the BE thread. I thought your first few posts rather blaise considering the 272mg nic. Too each there own.

 

[vikki59]

Good bye vmod thread. I am now deleting it from my bookmarks and my subscription thread. It just isn't fun anymore. I'm sick and tired of "because" I like this fu^*ing mod (most of the time, I have also thrown it in frustration), that I am an idiot that does not know any better. AND if I choose to voice my displeasure at something then I'm a "hater" (which I abhor that word). So only Fernand is "ABOVE" reproach ??? It's ok to be condescending, talk in circles, and tell ppl that their opinion is bull......

A lot of times it's not what you say, but how you say it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That "smarter than you" attitude from day one is what is frustrating, infuriating, and offensive.

Life is too short, too full of a$$holes, to have to deal w/them on this thread. Don't give a rat's ... who doesn't like my post! I'm tired of it.

Good bye *POOF*



CONGRATS ON YOUR YEAR AG!!

 

[tierrataz]

Dammit! Vikki I am really sorry. Don't let the trolls win!!

 

[Fernand]

A new Vmod user comes on and says his atty tastes bad, asks what to do. I say check for glowing coils that could be decomposing juice, it's a known defect, and it can be hazardous.

Another member says it's safe to vape on an atty that's burning juice, because it's been proved that no toxic acrolein can be formed in under 30 seconds.

So it's improper, politically incorrect, demeaning and offensive to argue why such a theory seems logically incorrect and dangerous.

I don't think that it's "fun" either, from day one, being told I'm bashing the vendor, and have a bad attitude. I do. I want the gear to work well and safely, much more than I care about socializing or discussing the weather.

Because this is what keeps me and others off cigarettes, no light matter. And I can certainly be tactless.

There's a point at which differences in outlook make communication impossible, things just go from bad to worse. I'm truly sorry if I've inconvenienced anyone.

Hi everyone, so i just got my new vmod(well new to me lol) and it didn't come with instructions i have it working fine, at least i think so but i want to check and make sure i have it all set up properly and i am using it correctly. My question is does someone have a link to the instructions for it, went to the vapage site but the only instructions they had were on the carto assembly and use and not the atty

thanks so much

Welcome!

Most everyone here (but Fernand) enjoy the Vmod. It's a cute little thing that packs an unexpected punch.

What color did you get?

wow now that's quite some collection i have the silver one and also have the blue shell as well

i was waiting till black Friday, to see if they had a good sale to buy some more (the red and charcoal) but they are calling for me plus i want to get some more atomizers too

I'm just going to use the 15% off discount and not look at the site on black Friday hehe

 

[AlmightyGod]

I'm fairly certain there is going to be a sale Friday.

 

[Tat_skull]

I'm fairly certain there is going to be a sale Friday.

Please let there be Silo's, Please let there be Silo's, Please let there be Siilllloooo's

 

[Jdsgibson]

There is a current code through thanksgiving.

I gave up on waiting for the silo. Went ahead an ordered the other things I needed and the wood cover too!

 

[Jdsgibson]

In other news, I gave the 1.5 hybrid a gin bath,.dry burn, and another gin bath and its back vaping away. No more burnt taste, and I think I've got the feeding down now.

 

[Katdarling]

Welcome Starlight. So glad you are enjoying your VMOD, and that blue is awesome! I have several colors and love them all.

Keep in mind that the hybrid attys LOVE juice. Soak them well and they'll be good to you. If you have the time (and can stand the wait!), keep them juiced for about a 1/2 hour before vaping on them.

jds, a gin bath? Wow! Good idea! I'm very careful with the dry burns tho. It's a wonderful solution for instant gratification, but shortens the life of an atty, according to many people. I do dry burn once in awhile, but only for short little burns.
