Could one of the testers please state the fit of the 18350 batteries in the VV Grand? They are a little tight in the VV Woodvil and I'm just curious. Thanks!

IMR 18350's fit just fine. PROTECTED lithium ion 18350's won't fit. They're too tall.

IMR and protected 16340's also fit fine, although there is room for the top battery to tilt to the left and lose contact with the positive post if the VV Grand gets bumped or jostled when using 16340's.

Here is what the finished vv grand will look like any looser and the 16340s wont work. The picture is the vv grand loaded with 18350s

Would my adding a tiny piece of foam on the right, next to the sidewall, maybe make the 16340s a cleaner fit, less slop? (as a BP guy, I have 16340s)

Thanks!
What I have tried to do is make the mod work with as many batteries as possible . I don't see a need for any spacers the 16340s should work fine

I sure like the idea of the vv Grand.This would get me the 5v I want, Side button, bottom feed, no more carto tanks, can use a super shortie 3Ω carto. Man, what is there not to like. That being said, I'm worried about the size. I'm just not comfortable with a hand full of pv, so I keep flip-flopping on this. Probably gonna have to have one tho. Anyone else with this dilemma?

IT ARRIVED TODAY!!!!:banana::banana:

For now I can only give an aesthetic evaluation, and a first impression of use.

Aesthetically it is a spectacle!
It is exactly as I imagined: it has the exact same manufacture of a Grand that for his line, soberness and form has always been the my favorite among all those boxes that I possess, it is only slightly higher (about 1.3 cm) but almost you do not notice this keeping it in hand. It is even more beautiful than the Grand, because, as you all know, Rob has rounded the corners, and then seeing them both in profile it seems that the Grand VV is thinner brother's mechanic. The round corners also give a better grip and much comfortable ... it is a pleasure to hold it.;)

Finally the highly "expected" side button (on which Rob has thought a lot of time to decide how it had to be made and where it should be placed:laugh:) is, in my opinion, an excellent choice....Rob, you've done well to take all the time required, because even a simple button can be an element that makes difference in pleasure and comfort during the vaping. In fact the button is small and easy to press (such as the button of an Ego) also it has the advantage of not disturbing the linearity of the PV minimally, in fact it is inserted in a small alcove on the side of the box and does not protrude at all. Therefore: aesthetically perfect, easy to reach and to press.

Internally we see again the touch of the reosmod’s house: a cleaning and simplicity identical to that of the Grand mechanical. No wires, nothing unnecessary, nothing electric elements which may be damaged, wet with juice, or which may obstruct or make uncomfortable replacing the batt or the bottle. The circuit is in fact completely secured behind the usual element of black plastic (also present on the Grand), on which there are also a small on-off lever and the small wheel for adjusting the voltage (both of very easy accessibility and use).

Conclusions: From aesthetic and structural point of view, for a lover of the Grand as me, the Grand VV is just perfect:headbang:.
When I saw it and taken in hand for the first time I am surprised at how it was even more beautiful than I had imagined seeing the photos. I found the line, the compactness and the solidity of my beloved Grand, but with the addition of details (like the new buttons, rounded corners and, of course, the circuit VV) that make it even more "lovable", if so can be said:D.

Now, a first impressions about the performances.
I only had little time to try it, but for now I can say this: I am a heavy vaper and use only from 6v and up. So to do immediately a comparative test, I removed the atom (2ohm) that I had on my Grand and I put it on the Grand VV set to 5.5v (ie approximately 15.1 W).
One word: WOW!!! :smokie:
Great hit and vapor, a little more pronounced than on the Grand at 6v. In fact, going to measure, the Grand VV takes exactly 5.5 v under load (as you know, instead, a mechanical PV always lose a few tenths of volts under load). In addiction, it has a constancy during the vaping that is a pleasure…. each inhalation is identical to the other (anyone who has tried a Provari, or a good VV knows what I mean;)).
Obviously, this is just a first impression (I'm using it for a half hour), but for now, I'm really happy with the performance of the Grand VV;
Now I lock myself in "religious silence" for vaping it and test it in all ways.

A last thing: Rob, my friend, congratulations:thumb:....I just got this and I want already a second Grand VV:)...therefore, I'm sorry for all the friends reonauts, but at the next sale there will be a participant not expected: me:D

Hey Rob *poke*
Can you post some pictures??? You posted VV Wood pictures and I feel like the VV Grand forum feels a little left out. I'm only trying to keep the forums best interests at heart.

Hey everyone *poke poke* Does anyone know where I would be able to get a Raw Tumbled Aluminum REO finished? Besides Chopper. I really want pink!

Yay, Diego got his! Now y'all will have a GOOD review video soon enough!

Get to it, Il mio amico!

Oh yeah, amico mio.....but you start to take lessons of Italian language, because if I make a video, it will be in my own language (or at least, with some good music):D.
One thing is to write in English, but in speaking, it passed about 10 years from the last time I spoken a word in your language.:oops:
Ok, I have the solution: given that even on my forum are all waiting for my review, I will make a video that fits for both: for ECF and for Esigarettaportal .... I try to use as few words as possible and explain to me mainly through images. In conclusion, then, the words are useless: the Grand VV speaks for itself;)

Dude, you have a certain fan base here that won't give a damn what language you're speaking. I'm sure whatever you come up with will be awesome. :)
