Get a Spheroid. Most 14500 mods are 16mm, not 17mm. The Penelope is 17mm and sticks out on my Temon 14500.

Spheroid is 16mm, holds 3ml, allows you to rebuild without draining juice, accepts micro-coils easily and is IMO a fantastic atomizer. I own two, and they're basically all I use. I have a Kayfun Lite that sits empty, because it's a pain to fill compared to the Spheroid and holds only about 1-1.5ml more, and I can't rebuild the K-lite without draining the juice.

I only mentioned the Penny because it was 17mm, closer to the desired 19mm that would match a VS. I have 3 Spheroids myself, and cannot recommend them enough, they are amazing.

I just spoke with a customer service rep, since they told me on Tuesday that it would ship on Wednesday, and still no tracking#!!!!!

She said that it looks like mine fell through the cracks, but it might have shipped already. She said she was to check with the shipping department and see if they just neglected to post the tracking number, or if it just needs to go back in line to ship Monday or Tuesday.

I'm at work, I'm hoping that it's home waiting for me when I get off, I'm in Georgia, just one state up from them, come on!!!!!

Peppie... lucky! Post pics when you can!


The last time I spoke with VS customer service (thursday), they said they were shipping a bunch today (saturday). Allegedly, mine was supposed to be one of them. As of yet, no update to status. I really hope they didn't tell me 3/15, only to not ship till Monday. We'll see if the status changes at all today. I'll report back...

Somebody already mentioned the Aerotank. That's what I run on my VS (see pic in my previous post). And of course the heads in them CAN be rebuilt. I don't bother trying to do dual coils in them, IMO, that's hype. I use a 5/64" ID "micro coil" and wick it with cotton. IMO, this vapes better than the stock dual-coil head. It's also more travel-friendly than a Kayfun, because you don't have to drain the tank to re-wick the coil.

All that said, I'd buy a 19mm Kafun in a New York Second. The Aerotank produces a decent vape, but it's no Kayfun. :D

Any chance of a pic of your aerotank coil rebuild? I would love to practice rebuilding using my aerotank.

Definitely interested in the spheroid. I would probably have one already if it wasn't for the price.

Tracking finally updated: Processed through Sort Facility, Tallahassee, FL. I think they were dishonest with some of us on the March 10th shipping day, and just printed the labels waiting for their delivery to come in. No way it took five days to sit in Florida. It should have been here yesterday or today.

But at least I know it's coming.

Agreed the gunmetal pics look awesome, and I'm digging the etched logo. They probably didn't have a production unit in-house to photograph for the website, but I think a lot more people would have ordered that color if they had.

It's here! I finally got a tracking number and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was out for delivery today, but I had to go to work and wasn't going to be home to sign it. I spotted the mailman down the road from my house, and was able to get him to dig through his stacks and find it for me. Crappy pics (I could have at least cleaned off my crusty drip tip), but ah, pics or it didn't happen. This is the DNA30 in gunmetal. So far, I love it. It's even smaller than I expected, and very solid feeling. The spring loaded 510 connector is awesome, there is zero wobble with the Russian on it. We'll see how the finish holds up, but as of now, it looks amazing, very high quality. The laser etched logo adds to the high end feel, it's not going anywhere. I have yet to give it a full charge and see how long it can last me on a normal day, but I bought it knowing I could easily top it off during the day. Very satisfied so far.

Looks awesome! Crazy how comparable its size is to the Provari Mini considering it is 1200mah vs 700mah.
 
Yusss! You truly don't understand how small it is until you hold it. Holy crap! lol Super solid device, feels great in the hand. Perfect size, buttons are responsive and clicky. i love this thing

I'm leaving work in about 30minutes, you're probably about 20 minutes from my house. I'm going to pay you a visit and leave you without a VS:evil:

I'm glad y'all are getting yours and that it is indeed as great as we hoped it would be.

Apparently that is what happened with mine, so I hope yours is on the way! Also, they are shipping them via first class mail, so that can add a few extra days.

Same thing happened to me. I was told it would ship on the 10th didn't get the tracking number till the 11th and it just said electronic shipping info received. Today it updated to processed though Tallahassee. I have to say I'm not pleased with them at all after all the delays then calling me and telling me they have some ready to ship then not ship it. No way this thing set at the post office for a week! I was fine with the delays it being a new design I could understand it but don't get my hopes up just to disappoint me dang it! Rant over lol.

Sorry guys no pics from my end Photo bucket and I are not playing nice at this time.

Size... No pics can give you a true reading. Only when you are holding it in your fingers does the true size sink into your head.

Fit and finish. Out of the box. Good. The gun metal finish looks like plastic. LOL. I am sure it will scratch up easily. Time will tell.
510 connector ... solid. No wiggles here. Atty's sits flush.
Buttons for wattage adjustment small but function well
Fire button.. Metal what kind of metal???? Should tru to stick a magnet on it to see if it is SS. Has a real thin band of blue led around the metal fire buttom. Not as bright as the V1. Thats good in my book.

Battery came 3/4 charged, so I was able to screw on an atty and run it up and down the range . Nothing worse than having a brand new toy sitting right in front of you and not being able to play with it for hours.

Screen N/A Was up side right.

Compared to a mech mod the way it hits??? I had a dual coil @ .65 ohms mounted in and Origen Dripper running at 20 watts for a couple of hours. It vaped like my .24 dual coil in a Zenith on top of a copper Vanilla with a fresh 18650 battery. the .24 build will get nothing but worse with each hit the VS build was the same (take your breath away) vape for the 3 hours I was using it.

I tried to lock the + and - buttons so I wouldnt change the settings while I was using it. Couldnt get them to lock following the instruction on the box. Any insight on this??

This is exactly what I had in mind when I ordered this mod. SMALL.
I will take the time to make a wood wrap for this mod. It should only increase the over all size by 1/2 over all. I can live with that.

Anyone have any ideas or info on how to lock the wattage buttons please post it up.

You guys were definitely told a big fib. Look at my tracking. It moved right along in the slow first class way. It only said electronic shipping info for a day. Unfortunately for me it arrived and is about two minutes from my house right now. Funny thing is on the same day I claimed my free bottle of juice which did arrive today. Was excited for about half a second when I say an envelope in the box but just as fast realized its way too small lol.
