VP2 from VaprLife = A Winner!

[chad]

This is my first e-cig review.

I just got my VP2 from VaprLife and in a day it's become my new favorite. I'm not at all good at reviewing things but I was so pleased with the VP2 I felt I should let folks know about my opinion. There's an indy manufacturer out there doing a damn good job.

This little guy is pretty well built. The aluminum body is nicely machined and everything on it fits together tightly. It's super light and easy to hold with a faintly texturized battery case. The button has enough movement to know you've got it on but easy easy to push and doesn't require much effort. The LEDs (I got green) around the top of the battery tube make a cool effect - they're quite bright. The little unit powers the 901 atty pretty well and I get more vapor from it than from my JantyStick (my old favorite). With the protected battery I've got no worries about over discharging it. I can't comment on battery life as I haven't used it longer than a day yet. Given the performance and construction overall I'm pretty sure battery life will be good as well.

All in all I'd say this PV a great piece of work. I'm especially enamored by the quality of the VP2 as compared to some of the other manuals I've gotten (I've collected a few of them). Kudos to VaprLife for this nice addition to PVs! You've won me over and I'll be recommending your to my vaping friends.

Thanks for the review Chad. Still considering getting this...think you got me off the fence. Can you tell me why you decided to go with the 901 instead of the 801? I use a 510 now, so I'm wondering which would be better for me.

Hey tlc - glad this might help you.

I liked the look of the VP2 and it only comes in 901 currently. That's the only reason I got 901. I just got adpaters for 801 and 901 for my Prodigy but I don't have any 801 atomizers yet so I can't compare 801 vs 901 on any of my PVs.

I don't own PV2, but I know for a fact, if you're a 510 user, you will like the 901 much better than the 801.

I've got the vp2 801 and love the cart size and get a full day on a battery. I have actually been tailpiping(no cart) since I got it. It works great. I was a 510 user before and this cart is 2times the size. For some reason I got more flavor from the 510 but that may be because my batts and atty are 10 weeks old and probably barely running. I see no sense in breaking out a new one.(I hate primer)

Chad, you said: " I just got adpaters for 801 and 901 for my Prodigy but I don't have any 801 atomizers yet so I can't compare 801 vs 901 on any of my PVs."

But would you compare apples with apples, i.e., the 901-Prodigy with the 901-VP2?

Thanks!

FYI: I am a very happy Prodigy (801) user who thinks the VP *looks* neat am curious how it *performs* (relative to my current cylindrical battery holder.

Can anyone post more detailed pictures of the VP2. Or a video review please.

 

[doots]

Ill send anyone pics that email me. I cant post them here because I dont have 15 posts..

The pics dont so it justice as it's much nicer looking in person.
Good balance to it. Nice aluminum finish and nice switch.
Everything fits great and tight.
Ive been using the Janty Stick and a 510 Before that and this is sooo much better than the Janty Stich..

Battery is awesome and lasts all day long blowing flumes of smoke even after 8 hours. The draw is so much better than the Stick and is light years ahead of the 510.

Do not hesitate to order one of these. You wont be disappointed at all. Well worth the price and customer serice is super!!

I cant think of anything that isnt super about it.. last and Lasts is all I can say, The 801 is very well suited for this PV. I wouldt want to use a 510 on it. Dont know about 901. Might be fine, I guess. Just personal preference.

I use teabag material on the carts and lasts hours between topping off again.

 

[linkdead]

Is the draw easier or harder than the JS? I have a JS and like the draw on it don't want anything harder.

 

[doots]

the draw is just about the same(easy) except you get more vapor and not all the air that the stick does.

Hey doots, can you give me the size of the VP2? I'm trying to decide between that and the VP1. I like the idea of having protected batteries, but don't want anything too big either.

 

[perchance]

Hello Everyone, Could someone address the question of how often you have to top off the PV2? I have been debating between the Screwdriver and the PV2.

According to GrimmGreen, you only get about six puffs on the SD before having to top off, how does the PV2 (or PV1, for that matter) compare?

Thanks, Chance

 

[shivadance]

Thanks for the review Chad! I'd really like a PV that's lighter to carry out and about but has a protected battery. Sounds like the PV2 might do the trick! I'm interested to see what the slight modifications will be on the new batches due out in Sept.

 

[grimmer255]

I like that PV1....that will be a good ecig for the road.

how quick does the performance drop off with the vp2 batteries? I currently use the Janty stick and have noticed that while on USB power it works great, but off usb the quality of each drag declines. It can last for quite a while on batteries, but after a couple hours its really worth swaping to a freshly charged one to keep the vapor quality up.

it is only 5/8" across which is quite small, with a 3 1/4" battery pack, plus whatever atomizer you go with

Topping off would depend on the atty you choose. I have the 801 and it last a long time but as with any cart proper amount of filler is the key. I couldn't answer really though because I have been loving the flavor of dripping and tailpiping

the vp2 battery is 3 times the size of the janty stick battery for starters. I have a 10440(same as janty stick) battery in my passthru and have the exact same problem. Once I unplug it doesn't last so long. The 900 mah 14500 battery is lasting me 22 hours. (in at 10 pm it dies at 8 pm the next day)

I can also say the vp2 is built VERY sturdy.( I've already abused it)

Hey TLC,

get the V2. the V2 is slightly bigger at the battery part. ABout like the size of a AA Battery but is not much bigger than the V1 and you will get much better battery performace and protected batts too.. You thank yourself later you did.

Like happily said, it's built very sturdy and isnt too big =) But I didnt like changing batteries constantly and carrying them with me all the time. Id carry 4 or 5 batteries and be changing them every 1 to 2 hours.

Hey perchance.

Im getting an hour of good vaping before top off. im using 801 which Id suggest to anyone using it. no leaks. Im using teabag filling too which made a difference from poly. getting about 10 hours or more from a battery. I got as high as 15 but I replace usually at 8-10 hours to keep high output.

 

[perchance]

Hello doots, Thank you for the reply, I decided to go with the VP1 (801), because basically I just like the design more and I don't mind replacing the battery a little more often.

Thank you, Chance
