I ordered a bunch of new stuff from GV, including various rebuildables, and the Vmax. The most annoying thing about
vaping over the last 26 months has been the atty: they are generally a hit or miss proposition, regardless of cleaning method or brand. One batch from the same supplier will last a long time; the next batch from the same supplier would burn out in no time (I went
through 5 LR's in a day one time). I always ordered atty's in bulk but did test them to see if there were any duds. After a month of sitting in my drawer, there was no recouse back to the supplier if an atty failed after 10 minutes.
While the Bully is targeted more towards drippers, it has given my Vapemates new life. The worst feature of the Vapemates has been their seeping through the bottom which made them sloppy to use with a PV with a catch basin; without a catch basin, it got really sloppy. The sealed bottom of the Bully is a great boon to top feeders. There is no need to be ultra cautious when squeezing the bottle on the Vapemate since the Bully has plenty of capacity. I still hate dripping; now I have the best of all worlds. Great little
device!!
