Who stole the I pros?

[tidegirl]

I want to give Mike my money. I really do. After I recently had a near disaster with losing the screw from my ∞ pro base, and having to hold it together with tape until my new screw arrived (very quickly I might add. Thanks Bov and Terri. ) I have decided it is time for a backup before I do something to disable my ∞ pro beyond what tape can fix and I have to rely on one crappy ego. But ∞ pros seem to be scarce at the moment. The only 2 options on the website are black and blemished chrome. I NEED a purple ∞ pro!!! LOL Any idea when more will be in stock?

Tide, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think Mike has decided not to restock the IPros right now

How 'bout if I cry? Is Mike one of those guys who can't stand to see a girl cry???

I guess I will have to do some thinking. I want another ∞ pro so I can use the same batteries, but I already have clear (silver) so I want a girly color. Hmm... Now I wish I had went with purple the first go round. :/

 

[Bovinia]

It might work Tide...he grew up with a house full of sisters

I know you prefer the IPro, but we do have the new soft pink Buzz Pro coming in the near future!

 

[GracieM]

Uh oh, should I start hording batteries and parts?

 

[tidegirl]

I'm leaning in the direction of the BP I guess when the new colors arrive. Still disappointed about the ∞ pro, though. Did you tell Mike about the waterworks in here??? Do you have an ETA for the new ones?

On a side note, I have been reading through some of the forums the last few days, after being away a while due to an insane work schedule. WTH is going on???? Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Stepford Wives? The Host? I don't think I've read a single thread where the ego twist is not recommended. Doesn't even matter if they are talking about VV, or even batteries. "I vaped at Wal-Mart." Reply: "You should get an ego twist to vape at Wal-Mart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (OK, maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's close. ) Ya know what? It's still a crappy little ego. The same crappy little ego that died on me after 2 months of use. I guess in 2 months we will start seeing the "Ego twists are crap" threads.

The tubes are in, we are waiting on the PCBs which should be coming in very soon, they have already shipped to us.

What's really irritating is all the fuss over the new VVs coming out of China! I know they are cheap, but really people...is $60 a deal when it craps out on you and you can't get it repaired?! We live in such a throw away society

I do have one twist, but it is explicitly for throwaway scenarios, pretty much for going on boats. Charging protocol for it is pretty strict. It is the smallest version, total battery energy equivalent to a single 16340 (yeah, not so great run time, but i don't want to play with the larger batteries of that style).

I doubt we'll see threads about running them over with lawnmowers, surviving fires, drops off motorcycles or down elevator shafts. If people haven't learned about them and charging, we can expect to see threads about them having a bad day, rockets (as has happened with non vv of that family).

Equally spooky are the vv mods. I've read about the obvious qc issues with press fit connectors that are askew from the start. Likewise the stacked ones with people talking about squeezing in the biggest batteries possible, where the tube tolerances are too tight for the battery size. One recent intro, from a well known overseas shop, was quickly shown to have a really unsafe design (US vendor looks they were responsive, but the manufacturer should never have shipped that configuration).

When the problems arose early this year, it was good to be able to recommend notcigs tube vv pv as high performance, rugged, affordable, safe. That hasn't changed. The little jobs do have a place as an intro, but if a person decides vv is where they want to be, time to move up as quickly as possible.

 

[tidegirl]

A Twist for the boat, that's not a bad idea. Maybe I should pick one up.

Oh, wait. A day on the gulf would require a day off. Guess I don't need one after all.

Yeah, I could see picking one up to explore the vv world. But by the time you buy two, you are already halfway to a quality, safe, well built mod (namely a BP ) so I really don't see why people are recommending them like they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. They will learn though.

Are you talking tubes for Ipros?? Those are my fav, and mine has been on loan for 2 mos now. I was really hoping to get another one, but I really don't want to get black, sooooooooooo boring.... This is really gona suck if you guys stop the ipros...

 

[Bovinia]

No Vikki, the tubes for the Buzz Pro. As far as I know, there are still no plans to restock the IPro right now.

i need ***purple*** soon!!!!

I too prefer the IPro..................

 

[paco]

Why no plans on restocking ipros?

 

[Bovinia]

Things are always subject to change, that's just the last I heard from the Boss Man on the IPro.

 

[paco]

Hey what's this "boge gate" scandal I keep seeing posted around. What happened? (asking since I used boge only, and now starting vaping again)

 

[Bovinia]

From the best I can understand, Boge started cranking out really crappy cartos and claimed that they were not making them any different than before. I'm not sure if the issues were ever resolved or not since I haven't used them in ages unless I run out of Fusions.

 

[paco]

Oh okay, since I just started vaping officially today (2hours ago) (just got my new ipro #532) I had ordered 3 packs of my trusty boge cartos, and 3packs of another brand.

I don't know if it's my juice (since I ordered less VG this time than what I used to use) or the carto, but I don't or I'm not getting the same vapor production that I remember getting from before? Anyways it's still working fine.

Question though, on this New Ipro, (I had original buzz & infinity before) the red interior light is on and turns blue when vaping, question is, is it okay to leave the ipro activated with the red light on for long periods of time or should I loosen the bottom cap to un-activate it when not in use? (of course I will un-activate it when sleeping)

Paco, battery wise, it's such a minuscule drain you could leave it on, like a month or something like that, before the batts die. Safety wise, prolly a good idea to unscrew it.

I never unscrew the bottom caps (because I never learn,lol!), I've fried numerous atties (at 20+ bucks a pop!) and scorched a bunch of cartos also by firing the button in my pocket. Better safe than sorry, as they say!

 

[Bovinia]

Lol Kempo! I unscrew if I'm putting it in my pocket or purse, otherwise I leave mine on. I forget to turn it off before I sleep half the time.

Paco, I think the main problem with Bogegate was the taste but I could be mistaken.
