My main reason for kicking the XL was for consistency. I like my vape to be in the 10w range all the time. The XL as a stand alone 3.7v device is very satisfactory and there is not much of a difference in vape since I use LR 1.5ohm 306 atty's. With out the kick the device would run roughly from 11.76w, (4.2v), down to 8.16w, (3.5v) as the battery drains and with the kick installed I can vape a consistent 10w vape from the start to finish of the battery. There were days when I rarely noticed a real difference and others where I did prior to installing the kick in the XL. Do I really need the kick? Probably not! It was only $45 and I originally bought it to experiment with and found it to be a little more consistent and that has worked for me to this point. I would've bought VV if it were available from Vapage, and I bought my XL prior to the VV Reos Grand being available. Wattage is simple math and attainable on any device, but I have grown to prefer a consistent vape. This also is the reason I prefer the Cisco spec LR 1.5ohm atty's from Avid as well. In the past 1 1/2 yrs they have been the most consistent atty I have used. I have tried most of the other hyped atty's, (HH357, I06, Shifu spec), and just wasn't happy with performance overall. None of them to me, gave the vapor and flavor, (together), as consistent as the Cisco spec. from Avid. They all had one or the other the majority of the time.....

Darn I missed out on that 50% off sale also.
Question for you all. I have two small Vmod and am using 2.2 ohm silo carts. When I use menthol juice I get a great vape and a nice throat hit with these carts. When I use other juices I do not get a good throat hit and the flavor is not great either. What silo cart would give me a better TH the 1.8 or the 2.8??

I've been wanting a Vmod for some time now and unfortunately I didn't have the funds when it was 50%. I just received their 30% off coupon ( H8WP6 DURING CHECKOUT. HURRY! ONE TIME USE CODE & EXPIRES 2/25/2013). I'm thinking of getting the 2.0 (not a la cart) as I already have those batts and charger. What do you think?
I'd say go for it and get it. I have 2 Vmods 2.0 version and I love, love, love them. Its pretty much hassle free and performs great consistently. Although I'm not doing so well getting the atty to work right and I became impatient and gave up. The silo cart really work well for me and last 2-3 weeks. Make sure to order extra silo carts, hybird atty and some 0 rings and bottles.
I guess I was thinking of the a la carte version LOL. I just placed my order for the 2.0, extra carts, bottles and o-rings. I didn't get the extra attys. That will have to wait for another time. I'm so excited!
Your going to love it. Just follow the instructions to a T and it will work great. The instructions say to start out with 6 drops in the silo and then squeeze the bottle. On my first silo that worked but all the other silos I had to put more than 6 drops because it had a burnt tatse. Start out with 6 and see how it works and if need be add a few more drops of juice. Let us know what you think of it. Its my favorite mod now, even better than my Zmax.
Just got an email that it shipped was not expecting that after reading so many say the shipping was slow! They even sent me the tracking number I didn't have to ask for it 
Should be here by the 22nd woohoo

Very fast shipping all three times I sent this one back! Too bad it still leaks....
Looks like ima have some vape mail when I get home today! Vapage must have gotten better with things I ordered this sucker just two days ago
Nice Bud. Mine should be here Saturday!
Well my Vmod XL has arrived. Its a great size - I was worried it may be a little big but it fits in my hand perfectly. Just using it with the carto that came with it at the moment. An 18650 button top AW IMR is a tight fit - works but I'm wondering if a flat top would be better?
Feeling pleased with the size, feel, and hits so far.

I got an xl, about 6 mos ago. So far I've dummy battery-wired to usb 2amp plug. Stuck the Kick in it. It's a fun mod, keeper. Use most of time without the Kick. The usb hook up gives me 5v. Bust if you're looking to get one these, can't go wrong.
I've got a pair of the 2.0's matched up with a couple 2.0 ohm HH.357 longbarrels from avidvaper... adore them. Simple, consistent, and even better flavor now that I changed to my preferred atty. As a bonus, if you hold it in your hand with your finger over the trigger with the long barrel on it, it kinda looks like a little Luger or similar firearm. I've gotten several horrified looks from people as I put a little gunmetal silver barrel in my mouth and start billowing steam... 
Trying it with the atomizer now - I ended up struggling with dry hits on the carto, but not having this issue with the atomizer. Very nice vape! This is going to be a great out and about mod too - will fit easily in a pocket or purse, quite stealthy. Liking this the more I use it.
Do you have the round seal that goes on top of the bottle in place? Look for a split in your bottle, right where the neck meets the body of the bottle. You can fill tthe bottle with water and place your finger over the opening on top and squeeze the bottle. If there is a split it will squirt water out. Maybe just too much pressure when you fed from the bottle? You can also fill a bottle with water, screw it into the chassis without an atty/ carto, again place your finger over the opening on top of the chassis and give it a pressure test to look for the source of the leak. I've got 3 xl's and 2 2.0's, the only leaks have come from a bottle with a split as I described. The chassis looked like the picture you have posted here. The juice gets on the inside of the cover and smears over the chassis as you remove the cover.
