The VP1 - .....in

[Synthnadz]

Update:

I received my VP1 yesterday from Vaprlife.com, and it is nothing short of amazing. Wow.

If someone had told me that I could've simply shelled out $100 2 months ago and bypassed all of the nonsense I went through with my first device (a VX2 or J118 - similar to a 901), I would have done it in a heartbeat. This VP1 is definitely the solution I was looking for.

I seem to be getting about 4-5 hours from a single battery, which is about 3 times better than with my VX2. I get massive clouds of vapor consistently with little or no effort. My liquid tastes clean and potent, instead of rancid and stale. Add to that the killer appearance and slim form factor of the VP1 compared to other battery mods, and I'm absolutely certain that I made the right choice. I'm in love. ;-)

Just wanted to share my early experiences here. Highly recommended.

I also got mine a couple of days ago and I must say it is great!! I just really like the feel of it. Slim and has a nice weight to it. Lots of vapor! It works great! Bought it on impulse and really glad I did!

I'm hoping they come out with a 510 version then I'll be all over it.
These look very nice and small.

Wench...

I too was initially looking for either a 510 or a 901 version, but after talking to John at Vaprlife and looking around at other user's experiences with 'battery upgrade' mods, I quickly changed my mind about the 801.

The 801 on its own is not my cup of tea at all, but its atomizer has certain properties that make it an ideal candidate for a device with a better power source, like a VP1. The larger surface area of the 801 atty can handle increased / stabilized power better, and puts out serious vapor. Using a smaller atomizer like a 510 kind of cramps the performance, and can also lead to fried attys.

Anyway, I just wanted to share the results of my research and my own experience here, as I too was leaning towards looking for a 510 model as well initially. I must say though - I'm seriously pleased with the 801 on the VP1.

I've tried 801's on mods ( I have 2 so far) and they are all right, I just lean toward 510 not to mention I have 30+ 510 atty's compared to 3 801's, 5 901's lol
The 801 is a good atty, fantastic especially at 5v and 6v but as you said, not my cup of tea. Something about the draw and just as a whole I can't put my finger on.
I so far haven't lost a 510 atty, ( 901's are a different story bleh)
Thank you though

Of course - I have the utmost respect for individual preferences, and also for impressive stockpiles of compatible components. ;-)

This is my first post to this forum. I smoked for 39 years, and chewed nicorette gum where I couldn't smoke. I learned about the e-cigarette via the internet, ordered one, and since my first charged battery have not smoked an analog since. That wasn't long ago, June 6th, but quite an incredible feat for me! I haven't even had any desire for a cigarette since.

I have the 801 penstyle, Titan 510, Janty Dura-C, and Janty Stick. Though all the above have met my needs, I ordered the VP2 on Sat. and was vaping with it on Tuesday. It came fully charged and ready to go. I LOVE it! The battery life is outstanding and I don't have to fear leaving the house with just this one unit with me. The draw is consistent and it produces tons of vapor. I prefer the 801 carts and atomizer so this is the best of all for me. Having cheap, long lasting ( very long) , short charging time batteries makes this a superior unit. I don't know what more I could ask for......

I would second Cheris post on the V2, Supurb unit worth buying. Awesome well built PV!

 

[SusBan]

VP2 is awesome!

Protected battery too. On a weekday, when I'm not constantly vaping during working hours the battery lasts a full 24 hours for me! -- well, I am sleeping for about 7 of them (haven't figured out how to vape in my sleep yet!), but you get the idea.

Vapor slightly better than the Janty Stick, which I though couldn't be beat.

I think I've finally found my PV and can stop experimenting. Next stop for me, cart mod ....

seriously people are actually buying this . I don't mean to sound off but it's a $4 laser pointer. still , If you like it why not , but i would urge anyone before spending what $75 on the VP-1 to have a go at makin it yourself..it really is easy.

and it is truely a DIY project..no special machining required ( i used a hand drill and a file )

I'm glad it's easy for you -- looks scary to me! I'd glady pay for someone else to do it right!

 

[ApOsTle51]

I don't blame people for selling Mods , what i do find saddening is a company charging a fortune for the product.
If people wanna spend that much on it ..that's fine..I'm just saying for those that can , there is another option to get the same PV at a fraction of the cost.
( and honestly it looks harder to make than it really is )

ApO.

I have a VP1 on order and cannot wait to get it. Unfortunately, it is backordered and I hate ordering something I have to wait a couple of weeks to get. However, I kept looking at the VP1 and have to say that I love how it looks, the lights, etc. I have a Stick replacement coming very soon also. WOW. I wanted the VP1 instead of the VP2 because it looks more like a cigarette, and sorry to all of you purists out there, I still want the similar look and feel of the real thing. The Stick is for at home for me. I am getting more excited now to get it since reading these reviews.

 

[RooksGambit]

The description for the VP1 set on Vaprlife.com now states that it uses a PROTECTED battery. Is this true?

It was the single reason I was on the fence about the VP1, and the VP2 is just a little too large for my taste.

RooksGambit,

The updated VP1 description mentions protected batteries because that is what the new units will have. So, once they're are back in stock, they will have protected batts. At least that was my understanding. ;-)

 

[RooksGambit]

Sweet!

Thanks for the confirmation, Synth! Next little bit of scratch I get, I'm gonna drop that schnit on a VP1 and a couple extra batts, WoO!

I am also a V1 fan. Yes I know its a laser mod..Don't care, its well worth it to me to have someone else do it for me, plus add in the lights..which, sue me, I like! I also noticed that it vapes a cart dry with consistency all the way. I have the 901 and I am about to order the new 801 since I like both of those at different times. Battery with "chain vaping" lasts 4 to 5 hours. Its my all day every day PV.

I was just on the site yesterday and they do have 510 versions.

 

[callousparade]

This was listed in the product description for the 510 VP1...

Adapter for 901 or 510 atomizers available in accessories. If you want your 901 or 510 adapters to work with the air flow system, a hole must be drilled through the side of the adapter.

what do they mean by that? do you have to drill a hole in the thing to use a 510 atty?

 

[Synthnadz]

No, not at all. Their wording tends to be a bit unclear at times. ;-)

If you order an VP1-501, it will come with the 501 adapter included. The 'air flow system' allows you to adjust the airflow, but this feature only works with the M201 style atomizers.

In short, the VP1-501 works perfectly with a 501 atty. You just can't adjust the airflow without performing 'surgery' on the adapter, which you probably wouldn't need to do anyway, in all truth.
