I was hoping the same thing (that Brian would have a supplier thread). Seems this thread is excellent for newcomers, but now we need our own thread with Brian (and Spencer and John and Christine(a)).

We are leak free and also now free to just shop and get new toys!

BTW, I'm working on my first run (lingo per Brian, right t-taz?) Vmod. I've super glued it and installed yet another ($#%$^%$^) catch cup. Yowza. Mine is not very good, not very straight and will hopefully catch spills. Also, I put on the upper O-ring and the cone will not screw down on it. So now the atty is O-ring-less, but vaping nekked, not a leak in site!

I'm running low on my Vapealicious Gooey Better Cake. Oh it is that good! Thanks for that, AG.

Heya folks. Took a week to get to know my VMOD a bit more.

I've been using the same 1.8 BF atty since I got the VMOD and now I think it's been partly to blame for my leaking in the past. It had a harsh taste unless I kept it pretty saturated in juice. Swapped it for another 1.8 I had the other day after flavor had dimmed a bit on the old one and noticed the coils on the new one were spread across the cup evenly. The old one they were all together in one corner.

Now I do not have to keep the atty saturated till it gurgles and it's been working great. Before when I had leaking it seems it mostly traveled down the atty onto the spring assembly to the far side of the chassis behind the battery.

Went ahead and ordered 1.5 and 2.0 BF attys along with 1.8 and 2.2 silo cartos today. 1.8 has been nice but I was thinking I needed to up it to 2.0 to alleviate the harsh taste. All along it was just the atty.

All in all I'm glad I got to know the VMOD a bit better. Taking it apart, giving it a good cleaning. Even removing and putting back the spring assembly. A week with the case off and keeping a look to see any leaks is well worth it.

Now I'm a catch cup install master, and ready for the 18650 model. :)

Best help I've seen suggested here for catch cup instillation is using a toothpick to push the spring bar up in the middle a bit until the toothpick goes into the hole. It stays there allowing lots more room to align the catch cup into the right position, pull toothpick out when done.

Thanks! I will try the toothpick :) Hmmm...have to go get some...

Heya! I thought I'd just jump on this thread and say hi. I've had a V-MOD for a week or so now, I just finished writing a review for it which will be on my site next week if all goes to plan :)

I've been following the thread for a while, and because of the posts here I reattempted (successfully) to install the catch cup. That thing certainly makes a huge difference, so thanks for that everybody!
