Everybody signed up to test and part of that is to put your feedback, review, or thoughts on the VVPV (vape MACHINE). For some reason no one is posting their stuff. Mike was good enough to let us test this unit so I think we need to do our part and be fair to him.
Please Post Your Thoughts

Here is everyone I found that has posted feedback and there's a lot more testers that need to post their thoughts.

My thoughts::::::
Someone PM'd me today asking me my thoughts on this device. I gave them a short PM back, but figured that I would take the time & post all of my thoughts here.

I received #2 in the mail from Mike himself. Apparently the unit had to go back to Mike for some reason or another. I won't comment on the aesthetics of the mod, as I understand that the eventual PV will have an outside case of aluminum & won't be like the beta I tested. However, after being through so many households & being handled by the USPS so many times, I'm surprised this unit held up as well as it did!

Originally I left the drip tip in the bag it came in, because I wanted to use my own.........It wasn't until later after I couldn't figure the unit out that I realized that I actually NEEDED the original drip tip. So, once I got the unit figured out, it vaped incredibly well! I used my own juice, not what was included in the box. After the original charge, the batteries lasted a full 5 days, I was very surprised.

~I like the fact that this holds ALOT of juice
~excellent battery life
~aluminum or black will be pretty
~never once got a bad/off type of hit from this device

I'm wondering how durable the tubing on the top of the mod will be. I'm also wondering if the juice bottle can be plastic instead of glass. Will there be an opportunity to purchase spare bottles, and replacement tubing? How long until the battery eventually dies completely & won't charge anymore? If it does die, will it be user replaceable with a bit of modding knowledge?

COOL BMW
1. tubing is pretty durable ,
2. THe juice bottle is glass , I designed it to that bottle size , never bothered looking into plastic ? 3. Yes I will have spare bottles with tubing ,
4. THe batts should go 300 charges then they can be replaced , it will require a special screwdriver ( Torx ) they are a 14500 type .

I received the VVPV for my beta test on 9/9/11. As far as I can tell, this unit has been tested by 8-10 people before me {there are 8 signatures on the unit}; I'd say she has definitely 'gotten around'.

In the package I received the VVPV unit (901 connection) with the battery built in, the charger, and one bottle/tube combo. I also received 2 adapters so the unit is compatible with 510 and 801 atomizers and pre drilled drip tips for 801, 510 and 306. There were also 2 screw pieces that I believe may be used for the pump but I have not changed out the one that came in the unit.
Considering the size of this little mod, theres a lot going on inside. Somehow there is room on the top of the unit for the feed plunger, the tube, atty connection, voltage wheel and button. On the side that houses the juice bottle there is a small window so you can see how much juice you have remaining. The device is comparable to the size of a deck of cards. The bottle reminds me of a small spray bottle used for body spray or breath spray. The tube is built into the top of the screw on cap and fits through an opening in the top of the unit to connect to the drip tip with the hole drilled into it. The plunger simply pushes down the top of the bottle, feeding the juice directly through the tube and onto the atty. The voltage adjustment wheel moves easily and has a range of about 3.2v to 5.6v or so. There is a small blue led next to the button that comes on when the button is depressed.

What I like: I like the shape and size of it. I love it being top fed. I like the bottle and plunger design. I like that the batteries are built in and the whole thing plugs in to charge. The battery life is truly awesome!

What I would modify: The button! It's teeny tiny and I think it would 'feel' more comfortable if the button were on the side, or a more rounded, or less sharp, larger button were used. This is really my one big gripe with this PV is the button size and placement. The other small issues I took note of have already been addressed and will be upgraded on the final version; sturdier plunger assembly, drip well, on/off switch, and stronger, more durable door. I'm told there is a new button in the works for the final version that is bigger so there goes my complaint about that!

Overall, I would say that as a plastic prototype unit that has been passed through the hands of several vapers, this thing has been built to work!

nice job lynleestar,,,,
hmmm, with all the buttons, the small button may be needed... but new button on the way, that's good then.
*love the idea of a glass bottle source; use all the cinamon based juice you want*
Novel idea the plunger like a spray bottle! +1
Small is GOOD.
from what i see it needs a drip well...?
can't wait for #2....
