I figured since I have one of the new switch Wetboxes, I would go ahead a do a 1 week in review!
I am on day 6 with this awesome new mod! It is my first Mod, so there has been a little bit of a learning curve for me. I had to find the perfect balance between over and underfeeding juice to the carto. After 2 days, I finally got the hang of it and found the right balance.
Positives: This mod works exactly as promised. Juice feeds well, box is sturdy, no rattles or shakes, small and easy to grip. I like the textured paint on it not because of the aesthetics but because it gives the mod extra grip. I tend to have "butterfingers" and drop things, but I have not lost control or dropped this mod. Vapor production is AWESOME! I have had the same carto on it for a week and it is still performing like it was new.
Positives: Battery life has been nothing short of amazing for me. I was a KR808 user, so I was used to carting around a stash of batteries, cartos, "condoms" to refill multiple times per day, etc. Now, I can safely assume I have a good 8-10 hours of perfect battery life and the 3mL bottle of liquid is perfect. After 8-10 hours, the battery does not go dead, but I noticed I have to feed more juice to get the same vapor. I can make it 12 hours, but the last 2 hours are not optimal battery performance. Still, I do not consider this a negative at all because I was changing batteries every 2-3 hours before. 8-10 good hours is a massive improvement for me!
Positives: I am using WAAAAAAY less nicjuice! I never realized how much is wasted when you refill cartos. I would always have residuals in the "condom" after refilling, it drips out of the bottom of the carto, and juice gets all over the side of the carto. I was using close to 10mL per day. Now I am using 3-5mL per day. I think I was having a lot of "waste" from refilling cartos. I still vape as much, if not more, with this new mod. The best I can figure is that I had a lot of waste from refilling.
Positives: NO switch problems! The wetbox now comes completely switch protected. There is ample black epoxy surrounding the connector and the switch. The only area that is exposed is the solder from the red wire to the battery connector. This is on the opposite side of the juice holder, so it is not as vulnerable. I think 99% of the negative issues I read about on the old design was that the switch was vulnerable to leaking fluid and causing failure. This problem has been fixed. YAY! I feel like anyone can safely order with confidence now that switch failure is a problem of the past.
Negative: Make sure you use the papertowel method described in earlier reviews. I always use a piece of paper towel, folded and punch a hole in the middle, and place it over the feeder needle and slide it down to the screw on cap on the bottle. I have noticed if you frequently feed the juice into the carto, you do have some residual juice that will run out of the connector and down into the juice side of the box. Given that the switch is completely protected now, this is not as big of a problem as before, but the nicjuice still makes a mess. I use strawberry DIY juice and it gets sticky. So, preventative maintenance is to just make a little towel protector every morning before I load up the wetbox and I toss the towel out every night when I disassemble. This is really a small negative problem. It would in no way cause me to rethink this purchase. I consider it more of a preventative maintenance issue rather than a negative problem.
Overall, I am 100% thrilled with this mod. Given that it is my first mod, I have no other juice feeders to compare it to, but I would most definitely purchase this all over again. I purchased at Clouds of Vapor, the service was excellent, shipping time was AMAZING (ordered at 5pm on Thursday, it arrived at noon on Monday). The only negative issue I have had is really small and minor, and it has been addressed many times before. Leaking fluid is part of PV use. Sometimes we have little leaks, sometimes we don't. The issues people complained about have been addressed and fixed, and to me, that shows that the mod builder and distributors have listened to the issues and corrected them.
I know the wetbox has taken some pretty hard hits from negative reviews, but I really do encourage anyone to try this out for the first time or, if you had a previous switch design, give this remodel a try again. I think a lot of small issues are user error (I know I like to make mistakes!) and with a few little tweaks and adjustments, this mod is great! I give this mod 4.5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend! Happy vaping everyone!
