A lil' somthan to add about the vapage batts, if using these and you twist lock button to lock, it fires with a slight touch, and eliminates the batt travel inside that normally happens when firing. I like this!!!

WOW- I didn't even know this had an OFF position :laugh:-
I think this thing has been in constant firing mode ever since I got it !!:vapor::vapor:

I've been vaping my black Vmod with Vapage's Turbo Smog. This is very wicked vape. Almost tastes like the real thing after awhile...not really of course. It does have a very analog taste though, & we know how the Vmod draws & produces vapor.

Now if only the Colts didn't look so terrible! :(

Very pleasant, tea! Hoping the same for you and all our VMODians. I'm vaping 2 of them as we 'speak'!

Only 2...?

Where are the other 15...? :)

I haven't picked up another mod in about a week! The Vmods are my travel buddies, & that's all I've been doing.

Did you try looking at your order update page on the website? When I checked to follow up a couple days after placing my order, mine had a "mailed" for the bottles and "processing" for the rest of the order. I just decided to wait it out and see what happened.

Soon after the bulk of the order appeared happily in my mailbox (wth a copy of my complete order). A few days later the bottles showed up.

I'm guessing back order's are being handled & are in transit.

My Vmod is an atty-killer!

I've had it for a little over 3 weeks and I've run through 4 "silo" cartomizers and 4 "hybrid bottom feeder" atomizers. They typically last 2 days, sometimes 3, 4 is the 'record'. I'm a heavy vaper but My Vmod is NOT my all-day device. I have it on my desk and I use it as a "break" from other flavors. Strung all together, I may vape it a maximum of 3 hours each day so, chain-vaping, the lifespan of an atty/carto would be about 9 hours for me. This cannot be normal. I've sent an email to Vapage and they've replied:

"The VMOD doesn’t sound to be defective; it just takes a battery, carto or atty, and juice. It sounds like it is working successfully with new attys/cartos.".

Well... yes. I can't deny that. The problem is I have to BUY a new atty/carto every couple of days. I guess, from Vapage's point of view, that's hardly a problem.

Assuming, then, that this must be some sort of user-error, and one of you happily SUCCESSFUL users can help me correct it, here's what's happening:

I currently have the bottle filled with BWB RY4, if that's relevant. I've also used Boba's and ECOPure when an atty expired on me. I don't have a big leakage problem, though there's always a drop or two to mop up off the inside chassis when I change batteries or refresh the bottle. These small leaks do not seem to have touched the battery side of the enclosure. I notice no gurgling, no "burnt" or "dry" taste. There's no appreciable decline in vapor production. There's no "pop". One toke is fine, the next one won't fire. I take the atty off the Vmod, put it on my Darwin and, yep, it's dead. I see 0ohms, 0amps, 12.something volts (same thing it displays when I fire it with nothing attached). Blow out the atty, there's juice in there, so I wasn't dry-burning. I wait, let it dry out a little, try again: still dead. ...on an KGo? No joy.

It's possible I'm flooding them but then I don't understand why I'm not seeing more leakage or why flooding would so suddenly and completely kill these attys. I should be able to dry out a flooded atty and keep using it, no? I mean, I submerge other attys in alcohol to clean them and they still work. I've used (abused?) both "silos" and "hybrid BFs" at a couple different resistances, with the same results. I'm rotating 5 different 14500 batteries, 2 of which I purchased from Vapage just last week and I make certain my batteries are reasonably freshly charged. It is not one, specific, battery that is frying my attys.

What on earth am I doing (or failing to do) that is killing these things so quickly? Pretty soon, I'll have spent more on these "special" atomizers than I did for the mod. I really like the form factor, it feels good in my hand. I'd like to keep using it but the maintenance costs will be absurd, over time.

Urm... help?

Jslay, this is a bit of a puzzle. Unlike your experience, my attys and Silos are still going strong (same ones in rotation for 3 months now). I can't help but think that flooding an atty would not really hurt it at all... not kill it anyway. A dry atty, yes, but a juiced one? IDK. At first thought, it seems that it's a bad batch. Are they all from one order?

Perhaps someone can jump in here and help Jslay? I'm a tad stumped at the moment.

Nope, but close: There have been 3 orders (including the original, with the vmod) but all in the last month. Well, now, my LAST order, for two 2-packs of BF attys, ...nope, I have already killed one of them. I was going to say I hadn't used any but they arrived yesterday and one of them died this afternoon.
