I just opened mine up too, been using it since it first came out, and NO signs of leaking inside.

I've gotten a little juice under my rda if using an atty with a short 510, but not enough that it leaks or makes a mess. I don't even see it until I remove the rda.

@BillW50 It's worth getting it replaced under warranty. You already paid for it, why not?
I get the juice under my rda with almost all my mods, regardless of brand. Just a compatibility thing. Some squonk pins work better with certain 510s. I installed a small o ring on the base of my squonk RDAs to stop this from happening.

@Zaryk, I wish you wouldn't have mentioned Vicious Ant, lol. I was eyeballing the Spade 75Cs this weekend. Keep telling myself I'd pay the $350 for the mod, but not $50 for shipping, lol.

Does anyone know a place for ordering pulse (old or new) at a reasonable price for shipping to Greece?
Check out Vape Wild. I know they ship internationally, and they have a coupon code on the site for $10 of international shipping for orders over $50.

They have the Pulse 80w currently for $39.99 US. Bet they would ship to you.

EXACTLY.

If I'm buying a $350 mod, it should ship for free. I don't care if it's being shipped from the Phillipines or wherever. I had one in the cart this weekend and moved on when I saw the $50 shipping fee. Are they bringing it to me in person?

Oh yeah, saw on their site that you get free shipping for orders over $1000. Really??? Thought the extra zero was a mistake.

If I send it to them, they will just send it back and say everything is fine. And then I'll send it in a few more times. Then I'll give up (exactly what they want me to do). So why bother going through all of that? It is much easier tossing the Pulse 80 in the trash and never buying another Vandy Vape and/or Tony B product ever again. :)

Actually a few folks I've talked to here said that MyVPro just had them send pictures showing the leaking.

MyVPro then sent them a new mod, without the panels to replace it. Didn't even have to send the old one it.

Maybe this has changed, but worth checking out. Anytime I've called them, I've gotten them on the phone. They are the VV service center in the US.

If you do buy it, get any extra bottles you need in the same order. If you want to buy one bottle later, shipping is still $50.

Haha, now THAT is ridiculous. :D

I probably would go ahead and pick up at least one spare with it since it already comes with two bottles. In all honesty, the only thing holding me back right now is that $50 shipping charge. That's crazy.

Really liking the DNA chips the more I use them, and it looks like a nice mod. Not paying that much for shipping though.

I seen a few on stateside websites, but they ask $450-475 for them, but you get free shipping.

Let me check where I bought mine at...

Oh 8vape. :facepalm: Two months ago. Well forget that idea. :( It was a good one though. :) I guess it is still useful for a tank or a dripper.

Oh, by the way, I wasn't joking about the bottle costing $50 to ship from vicious ant. I seem to be getting a few "funny" ratings, but I am dead serious. I was going to buy couple spares for mine (which I got used and didn't have the opportunity to buy extra bottles) and it seriously is $50 to ship one bottle.

I haven't bought mine yet, I was thinking of getting extra bottles. Thank you for letting us know

Got my Pulse X from The Best Vape down in FL. Ordered Wednesday at noon and received Friday morning. Used all weekend and today with Profile RDA and have had ZERO leaks, inside and out.

I am new to squonking so maybe this is common but I haven't had to refill the squonk bottle, simply turning the mod upside down and squeezing the air out of the squonk bottle, turn it right-side up while still squeezing the bottle and then squeezing the juice in the RDA well as you release the squonk bottle. Takes like 30 seconds to fill from 1/4 to 4/5 and zero juice ANYWHERE. Just thought I'd share as it seems a lot easier and less messy to do it this way(from what ive seen on YT). I forgot to purchase the 510 adapter squeeze bottle when I bought the mod but now I am pretty sure I don't need one.

I tried that method before. I still find it quite easy to just remove the bottle and fill it up. When I first started i would make a little bit of a mess from time to time, but not anymore. I don't use any tricks or anything, just fill it up and screw the cap on then toss it into the mod. It also taked me about 30 seconds to change the battery and fill the bottle, but I don't have to do squonk yoga to get it done.

I tried that method and now the inside of the tube gets juices around the part that connects to the nipple which was nice and dry. Now the tube slides on really easy and you lost that nice and tight dry seal before. And now when you squonk, it leaks at that wet and sloppy nipple connection. Then you have to clean the tube and nipple and start all over again.

Do you have a link to this vendor?
Thanks!

Not sure if that is allowed or not since I am new, however a quick Google search of that name should get you to the right place. They very possibly could be sold out. When I purchased, the Amber color was all that was left but they might have restocked since Wednesday.
