What works best for you on top of a Vmod?

[Rickajho]

This probably applies to all fixed voltage liquid feeders.

I got a Vmod XL stocked with the usual suspects: A Vmod 2.0 ohm hybrid atomizer and a 2.2 ohm Silo cartomizer. I need to buy more/other and not sure where to go next.

What I found with the 2.0 ohm (now metering 1.9 ohms) atomizer is it seems harsh a lot in the Vmod. If I put it on a VV mod but - and here's the big .... - at only 3.4 volts it tastes fine. So at that resistance it's seems to be in conflict with the higher voltage of the mechanical aspect of a Vmod. For me anyway.

So I'm wondering if I should try more Vapage hybrid attys - but move up to the 2.5 ohm puppies instead.

For peeps who love those attys, which resistance do you like best on your Vmod?

Other than that, same question regarding 306 - what resistance do you like?

I'm trying out the included cartomizer right now. At 2.2 ohms it's not throwing the harshness that the atty does. But I don't like it either. I'm getting a flunky chemical taste off it. (What I would call typical for a lot of cartos I tried. Filler - you know.) Regardless I would be curious to know if there are cartos out there people like on a Vmod too.

Sooo... Whadya like?

Hey Rick, personally I liked the Igo-L on top of my VMod XL and sadly because of it I can no longer use my XL!! I liked it because of the flexibility in the vape. I could intensify it ir lessen it with a few simple adjustments. Prior to that it was Avid Vapor Cisco spec 306's exclusively. I tried the Vapage hybrids, but they didn't last nor taste as good as the Cisco Spec 306's. They sell them in 1.5Ω, 1.8Ω, 2.0Ω, 2.5Ω, 3.0Ω, & 3.5Ω... You just have to keep in mind to get the XL drip tip with them to clear the cone on the VMod...

I cannot use the Vapage cartos. I only use the 1.8 hybrid atomizer from Vapage. Nice warm vape and the taste is fresh as can be. I love my XL!!

atty's but never the vapage ones

Hmm... I've been eyeing those already. But as a 100 VG user someone said the HH.357 customized for VG would be the better choice. Yikes! At $24.99 it better feed itself! Anyone tried one of those?

The Vapage atty seems to have sorted itself out after a cleaning. (No dry burn.) But it seems I have to clean it every two to three days or the performance drops off. Not impressed with it either though so the search will be moving on.

I ordered an Ikenvape I06 - it was just available at a place I was ordering from so... Had to start some place. Depending on how that works - or not - I'll take another look at the Avid Vaper options.

I've been plenty happy with a 1.8 ohm i06 from Ikenvape on my Vmod.

I'm happy to hear that! (I really like Isaac and wouldn't mind giving him the business.)

I think I went the wrong direction though on the first one. As the 2.0 ohm Vapage atty was acting so harsh before it finally settled down, I ordered the I06 at 2.5 ohms. Once I get it and try it out I'll adjust as needed on future orders.

My XL hot spring collapsed. The 510 connection separated inside and shorted the device. Not sure I want to tear it apart or not. It was the V2 replacement chassis I recieved a year ago from Vapage and didn't think it warranted being sent in as It was basic user error that caused it. I am giving up on the Vmod for the time being until they sort out a few issues I contacted them about. We'll see what the future holds. I do miss it as it was my daily vape for a year and a half.

As to the HH357, waste of time, effort, and money... I had one about a year and a half ago. The Cisco spec 306's blew it out of the water in daily performance. The only people that seemed to have any luck with them were the ones that vaped VV. For a regulated device they didn't fare well at all. My 306's ran circles around it in any device I had it on.

What's kind of annoying about Vapage is their unwillingness to just sell the replacement chassis's. When I got my XL the chassis was cracked and split from the top, down the side to that gap for the positive connector. Obviously they replaced it no hassle. But the replacement chassis arrived in retail packaging, complete with a slick cardboard topper with a peg hook hole in it and a bar code, suitable for retail display. The thing is packaged for retails sales even but... no.

That was my thought as well.

That's interesting... Mine came wrapped in bubble wrap. Maybe they are setting up for something new to watch for!!!

Or something some of their resellers asked for, but Vapage has no intention of selling either. We'll see. They already repackaged the XL - shiny metal box - that comes with one less battery than the kit used to. But you still get to pay the same retail price for the one less battery version.

Yes - they are up to stuffs. lol Anyway...

Where was I? Oh yeah - attyquest.

The Vapage atty died today, and the Ikenvape I06 arrived today too. Thank the gods for both events. I got three weeks out of the Vapage atty before it popped. Barely three weeks.

Conclusions: Well, there is no comparing the two attys. The Vapage by comparison just sucked. I'm getting much better flavor from the I06. I'm not sure how much wicking is in a 306 style, but I only have to squonk this one... well I can run it so long without needing it that I forget to squonk it. The Vapage thing? Never seemed to hold onto liquid, or enough liquid. Despite the Vapage being 2.0 ohms it always seemed to give hot, harsh vape. Especially compared to the I06. Squonking the bejeezers out of the Vapage atty didn't seem to help. It was either harsh or flooded. Some times both.

I got the I06 at 2.5 ohms, which might be a little higher than I really needed. But I went there because of how harsh the Vapage was performing at 2.0 ohms. I have a Joyetech LR 306 coming so once I get that I should be able to sort out where I want to be on resistance for a 306. But no doubt: Ikenvape I06 it will be on the next order.

Unless someone comes along with more suggestions...

Hope everyone had a Happy Christmas!

I still to this day have yet to "pop" an atty... Never had it happen!! I've even fired them for long periods to try and do it, but couldn't. As to the news of the I06, very good to hear you like it. I liked the ones I had, but mine were from the original Mfg that Isaac used. I had one from after he switched Mfg's and wasn't the same atty at all. Got less than half the life of the originals I was used to. There was a thread about it in their supplier thread some time back. I am not sure you will like the Joyetech 306. I never had any luck with any of their atty's. They just worked great for the first couple of hours and then they were just bland and muted. Maybe it was the Cisco spec atty's that spoiled me to a great stick type atty experience. Even the Aero line Cisco spec atty's were awesome.

I remember when I received my XL it came in the black cardboard box, (that the front flipped up and open),. I didn't bother with the full kit as I already had the batteries and charger form another APV I was using at the time. I'd rather a mfg or vendor have a quality product over a quality presentation any day. Maybe their way of being able to still offer the tin outweighed the cost of a second battery! If mine had come in the tin, i'm sure it would've found its was to the trash can at some point, (just like the box), so I guess it was a good thing I didn't get one...lol

I've used 510 and 306 atties on my four VMods---two 2.0s and two XLs---but mostly I used the Vapage Hybrid Slant Coil atomizers, since they seems to work best with the side-feed-well design of the VMods.

For the past couple months, however, all four VMods have been outfitted with RDAs that I modified to be bottom-fed. I use a dremel with a micro-bit to drill juice channels through the silicon insulator that surrounds the positive pin in the 510 connector and up into the atty deck. Not every RDA allows this, but many do, and it works quite well. No problems with shorting.

I remove the VMod cone and screw into the connector well a shorty 510-to-510 open extension that ends up flush with the VMod body. The atties---two YK1 Mini RDAs (Cyclone clones) and two J1 Mini RDAs (Smoktech Squid clones), dirt cheap from FastTech---are then screwed into the extensions. The RDAs are the same diameter as the cone bases, so they secure the BMod shells tightly onto the frames. I run 29-gauge 1.2–2.0 ohm micro-coils with cotton, hemp, or Ekowool wicks.

The juice feed is pretty good, but not 100% flawless. During squonking a small amount of juice sometimes squeezes out (leaks) between the body and the frame---not visibly or in a way that's messy, but the upper frame on the inside may get a little wet. As a result, I disassemble and clean my VMods under hot running water more frequently than before. That slight hassle is well worth it, though. The enhanced flavor and vapor production easily justify the minor discipline of giving the VMods once-a-week baths.

Now that's what's up billherbst.
Vmod with RDA. I wanna do sub ohms on my vmod with a rda on top. 0.4 ohm nano coil, cotton cloud, and a nice size air hole for pleanty of vapage.
I've been thinking of getting a mini rda just to mod for my vmod. Now I must.
