Vinci Air

[ricks]

I just ordered this VooPoo Vinci Air Pod System. Looks really interesting. I also ordered a couple rba coils and extra Pods for it too. Can't wait to try this one! Only $4.99 + shipping from Health Cabin... Hope it doesn't take too long to get... One of my last orders from fasttech is taking longer than 3 months so far... I just saw that it was in the states this week!!! Finally!

I'm looking forward to your take on it.
I don't want to prejudice your opinion with mine, so I'll hold off until you post again.

It might be a while... Coming from China. I would like to hear your opinion. Please tell.

Curious about that RBA, too. I have a Vinci X and like it with Pn-P .8Ω coils.

If the Air used the same pod as the X, I would go for it.
Been happy with the deals from Health Cabin of late!

Shipping charges are high tho. I paid $4.99 for the Vinci Air on sale and $9 and change for shipping.

Also, their prices are all over the place. The Vinci is reasonably priced, but replacement coils are 15 bucks--much higher than other other vendors.

Similar pod but uses the same coils

The Vinci is reasonably priced, but replacement coils are 15 bucks--much higher than other other vendors.

Coils prices are reasonable in my opinion as they las long, I don't have the Air but I have the Vinci X & Drag X to me the best coil is the 0.45 VM3

All I said was that they are more expensive compared to other vendors--I usually get mine for 8-10 bucks for a 5-pack.

I see
In here a 5 pack sells around 15-20

Oh, I just noticed you're in Canada!

20 bucks? Wow.

OK.
First off, I have their RBA but haven't attempted it yet. Just got it to have one as a fall back.
I like the Vinci Air. Good size, good flavor, good vapor production. Coils aren't too expensive.
My only concern/reservation is that (also with the Vinci X I have) sometimes I get some leakage from the coil bottom.
And, it's erratic and unpredictable. Sometimes never, sometimes always. It doesn't leak all over my hand or shirt pocket. Just some into the top of the mod below the pod. The coil is always pressed in as far as it goes, so who knows. If not for that, it would be great. Still, it's very good and it's the main one I carry in my pocket.
I recently got an OXVA Origin. It's larger, but still pocketable, and hasn't leaked a drop in a couple of weeks. I'll need to see if a thread has been opened for that device and if not I'll start one.
I think you'll be happy with your Air.

I have heard some people mention the leaks. If it does, I'm sure I can fix it. I fix everything...

Do you know where it's leaking from? Is it coming from the air inlet or the coil where it mounts on the pod?

Mine doesn't leak, per se, but it does get wet feet where the pod meets the mod. To me it looks just like condensation. I wipe it dry with a tissue. Some people speculate that the leaks come from around the o-ring (gasket) at the bottom of the coil. I have no idea.
A few users claimed that the leaks killed their mods--apparently the mod is not properly sealed and the liquid seeped down into the mod and damaged the contacts and/or the board.

I find the few pod systems I have leave some condensation or leak a little juice. Not much tho. My Freemax Maxpod never has a drop.

 

[newyork13]

In my case it's not condensation for sure.
If I had to guess, it's as @Katya said above, coming from the gaskets which the coil fits into.
And again, it's not every time.
For example, I've been removing the pod from the Vinci X and keeping it in a small plastic box. I just looked at it, and there is a small puddle directly below the coil. And, I just removed the pods from my two Airs and not a drop, although both have had some leakage in the past.
That's what I meant. Not every time and I can't really tie it to anything in particular.

Agreed. What you're describing is plain old leaks. Sorry.

It arrived at the post office today! That was kind of quick... Lately all my China orders are delivered in less than 2 weeks. My last few orders took 3 months. It will be delivered tomorrow and I have already received my 2 RBA coils and a pair of extra tanks for my different flavors.

Did you order from FT, Ricks? And if so, did you upgrade your shipping in any way? Some people suggest USPS Expedited, others recommend DHL. I'm about to place anther order and trying to figure out the best way to ship.

Thanks!
