Vision Aurora BFT - bottom feeder kit for tube mods

[pipster]

Ugh now course I can't find the purple in stock...maybe it's a sign..

I wanted the purple too but it was out of stock so I ended up getting the blue which is sooo pretty..it's a metallic bright turquoise/greenish blue. I got it today but haven't tried it yet. Too tired after work to clean it, read the manual and put it together! Maybe later. Big vapemail day. Trying a few juices I got today. Highbrow chessecake torte, HB blueberry, HB Limoncello, HB Peach Thymbra, HB Orange de Sangri. Also got 4 from Southern Steam. So far i've tried the cheesecake and blueberry. YUM. I think the cheesecake could use a steep, but it's good. The Blueberry is fab FOOB! I can't wait to try the others, especially in the Aurora. I hear it gives great flavor on the Youtube videos i've watched.

The purple isn't purple. It's a bright fuchsia.

So true my friend - like so many items in the world of vaping..., seems nearly impossible to get an actual purple.

I'm glad I ended up getting the blue.. Caribbean blue! Now I hope it works and isn't just pretty

Luckily for me, anything on the pink-purple spectrum will work

I'm in the process of ordering some pretty drip tips from Molehill Mountain. These are beautiful!

 

[Shadav]

so how do these things hold up to tank cracking juices?

 

[tearose50]

Don't know for sure -- but there is no tank to crack. The liquid is held in a small (tiny) bottle that is made out of the same stuff most of my 30 mil bottles are, and they don't crack.

Save your money. Not impressed. Even though I cleaned it first, it has a weird plastic-y smell and taste. Not a fan of the tip n squeeze n tip back up action either.. seems like you have to do it alot to keep it vaping.

 

[pipster]

I so wanted this to be my vaping bliss device. Maybe I need more practice which I will do. But, I taste plastic and over all odd/off taste with my Aurora BFT . I've tried various diff volt settings, drip tips to no avail. I'm so sad because I was super excited to try this.

I'd try the Surge Tank but for that price, I'd just get a reg bottom feeder! That price is insane!!!!

Same here. Bad plastic taste/smell.

I took apart the Aurora and saw that there is a white plastic ring around the coil in the atty which was melting. No wonder I was tasting plastic. Ick. I removed what was left of it and it was actually melted onto the wick, so the wick came out with it. I plan to clean it all and rewick it and see if it works without that plastic ring. I have a feeling it will cause leaking without it. The ring looks like it acted as a well around the coil which the squeezed liquid would fill into. Will have to see. Bad product design for sure.

The ring in the top of the atty that comes with the Aurora doesn't seem to serve any purpose other than to prevent leaking if you grossly overfill the atty. I keep the ring about halfway between the coil and the top of the atty. I've had four Auroras for months and one I've purchased recently. None of my rings have melted nor produced any nasty plastic odor or taste.

I've also tried using atties without using the ring at all without any issues. However, if you squeeze the bottle and leave it upside down without righting it fairly soon the Aurora will leak without the ring.

I use HH.357 atties with my Auroras. They hold a bit more juice than cheaper atties and don't need filling quite so often. Also, a rebuilt micro coil with cotton wick will hold a bit more juice.

My AMP Tanks auto-feed with 70PG/30VG juice although they do require two or three manual pulls once the tank is nearly empty. They require more manual pulls per tank with higher VG juice. AMP Tanks are considerably more expensive than the Aurora.

I hate mine. Got an a7 to use with it.. didn't want to hassle getting orings for it.. it's been in my drawer since November. I got it before looking into the surge tank more.

My decision ended up being to skip right over it. I waited for a Vmod XL to go on half price sale. At that point for not even double the price of an Aurora you get a hella lot more functionality. The Vmod led me right into buying Reos. If I had set my expectations of bottom feeding based on an Aurora experience I probably would have thought the whole concept of a liquid feed setup was just a bad idea.

 

[Johnnie Price]

Got mine about a week ago. I put mine on a Sherlock pipe with a Stingray atomizer. It vapes nearly identically to my VMod and I can use it lounging in bed, unlike the VMod. I'm going to get a Churchwarden to put on the tip. Love it!

My VMOD XL is stingy and inconsistent in feeding juice while my Auroras that I use for my secondary rotation juices feed my HH.357s reliably. I've got my Auroras paired with iTaste VV 3.0s and VTRs which gives me pushbutton VW with bottom feeder convenience. The VMOD did, however, teach me that I'm not that crazy about kicked mechanicals and hate the inconsistency in the taste of my juice with an unregulated battery. I use AMP Tanks with VW devices for juices in my primary rotation and have no desire for a Reo.

If anyone is still looking to try it, I find the Aurora on sale: https://platinumecigs.com/clearance-and-sale.html/visionaurora.html

I know old thread but....
I've only used it in the dripping mode and think it's time to replace the coil...how do I do that? Or what else can I use on it?
Btw lol it does make a fairly good cartomizer refill tool...quick easy no fuss no mess...squeeze and blow out atty and carts are fairly full

I only use my Auroras with HH.357 atties so I've never fooled with replacing the coils but I think they are just some sort of standard Vision coils. You can also rebuild them if you prefer.
