Wow, I have read allot on the Vmod over the last few days!! (Currently I have an ego-t type b with 900mah bats)
I'm considering buying the premium kit, but have a couple of questions:
If the VMOD is accidentally turned upside down in a pocket, will there be leakage?
How does the battery run time compare to an ego-t regulated 900mah?
When there is leakage, it's more like a wet smear to mop up on the inner chassis when you open it. Never had anything like a wet pocket. If you work out the upper seal issues, you can carry them on their side just fine, just treat as any handy device. Upside down on occasion is alright too. Best to keep finish away from keys and change. And pavement.
When I first got the Vmod I compared the battery life to an eGo, both using 2.2 Ohm ohm gear. You're right. The eGo circuit with its regulation really stretches the capacity of that battery and evens out the curve. I was getting about twice as long useful vaping on a 900 mAh eGo vs. the 14500s. You may also find you like swapping 14500s before they get too low. Carrying extra loaded 14500s is so easy given the size. Unscrew and lift, wipe off any drool, swap the battery, add some juce. The whole operation takes under a minute. I do it 4-5 times a day. The blue Vapage batteries are very good. They sell them at a fair price, so I would pick up extra batteries, and extra bottles for sure. It works best for me with the bottle a little over half full. Only squirshing at the bottom of the bottle has definitely extended the bottle life. I'd get a wood-grain rubberized body too.
@Everyone, Happy Thanksgiving !
