weird weird weird Gamucci

[Bjorn Toulouse]

4 people at my work have started vaping this week, all have the Gamucci Micros.

Is there a fire sale on??
they look solid enough but are they any good?

does anyone know the real model number?

 

[hifistud]

Looks like a dse 103 or 102 (I can never remember which has the exposed atty).

My Gamucci Micro lasted about a week. And was rubbish.

See from IGetcha:

The Gamucci Micro was the very first e-cig I tried, in Oct last year before I even knew this forum existed.

"Rubbish" is exactly how I'd describe it too. I had the same experience as Scott (Igetcha) in his video - it died on me completely within two days, having given out nothing but wisps of vapour. Neither the supplier nor Gamucci themselves responded to my numerous emails about it and totally ignored me. So much for their "guarantee", so in the bin it went. Mind you, it did make me realise that e-cigs had potential, which is why I went on a Google search and found ECF .

That doesn't mean everybody's experience will be the same, maybe ours were just duff kits, who knows.

My 1st e-cig was a Gamucci classic - very expensive and total crap..................

 

[Bjorn Toulouse]

poor souls,
I'll have to point them to intellicig and TECC

I must admit I was quite lucky starting with a 401

I agree complete rubbish. Bought one last year and consigned it to the bottom drawer within a week - I've still got wrinkles from sucking on it.
However, I took the battery out recently and attached it into a USB cable (Homemade PT) and it worked fine at 5 volts. Discarded when the atty blew.

Never again.

i have the gamucci micro and must say im well happy with it it did take a few days to wear in but its great now, i see no difference in vape and throat hit from the 510, even better now i have the menthol crystals for anyone in the uk you can grab them from Evape.co.uk

Good thing I came here before I bought my first vape because I was considering buying the Gamucci penstyle!

 

[blackbug]

To be fair to Gamucci, I've only heard bad things about the Micro. I think the Penstyle is an RNxxxx something?

 

[tribalmasters]

Surely the RN4072 is superior to the Gamucci, I have had many, many RN4072s and been very happy with them especially the white ones

I think I have some DSE801s here now, I like those too especially the lack of primer in the new ones!!

 

[blackbug]

I was under the impression the gamucci classic was a RN4072, god knows what the gamucci micro is though.

The classic:

 

[Bjorn Toulouse]

the micro looks like a titan 510 (size wise) its attie is exposed like the 401 but bigger, the cart is like a cross breed 401/510 size of a 510 with an inner cart like the 401.
basicaly its the worst of both worlds.
the size of the 510 with the fiddilness of the 401 inner cart.

Oh and now that I have tried it the vapor and hit of 3 month old 510 attie

Totally right!

I "Had" one of these if you can call it an e-cig....... Had it 3 weeks and right from the start it was trouble, I’m a noob e-smoker and this being my 1st e-cig I am swiftly learning the pros and cons of various models.

The main flaw of the gamucci v2 micro is that the pressure switch is badly designed and made from inexpensive materials, the inners of the pressure switch are polypropylene filmic material that has a magnet at one end and then at the other end a connector to make the battery circuit active, this filmic part of the pressure switch looses its form over time and then becomes loose and causes need for a deeper "Drag" to activate the batteries circuit, this fault is particularly exacerbated by the long cut-off of the gamucci v2 as the atty is not regulated by the microchip to prevent overheating and being so close to the atty the filmic pressure switch malforms and causes the functionality to suffer greatly.

Long and short of it…………… this is a very badly designed e-cig steer well clear of it, I was lucky enough to have ordered from a U.K website with a reputable name and great returns policy so I have had my money returned to me, but others may not have been so lucky.

Mechanical_Animal so what are you using now? You're not e-cigless are you?

 

[Eric74]

You really really really want to buy the JOYE 510 or any other 510 you can find. I use that one and the quality and vapor production are amazing. It also is one of the cheapest ones out on the market, which can't hurt.

There are at least 2 people on this thread that will disagree with you there.

Unfortunatley, yes Sludge Van Diesel ...... I am back on as few manuals as possible just now, but I have 2 EVOlution blacks comming in the mail as we speak so I recon it will be Monday before I can vape again

I have done a bit of research and the EVO from intelli-cig is the one that suits me to the ground at the moment and the reviews are fantastic, I will be buying a penstyle with a pasthough in a week or two for home use also so any advice would be great
