I have to say that I have been using the xvostick non stop for almost a month. This is MY perfect device. I have nothing bad to say about it.

I wish however there could be a single 26550 single version vs the 18650. I dont think it would add much bulk to the device.

It's in my hand about 80% of the time too. Especially since the SS one arrived.

I'd normally agree with the larger battery, but I'm getting truly amazing mileage out of the 3000mAh LG's. I only vape around 11 watts, and it's easily getting me through an entire day (plus). So for me, any extra size could be a detriment (since the Billet Boxes ALWAYS sit in wait).

But yeah, I get it. And I do believe he's got a 26650 planned (I think there was even reference of it on his site).

Could you link me what LG's your using? I've been using my 2 year old VTC5's forever lol. I also only vape around 11 watts. The max I go is about 15.

Sure! These are the ones I'm using. You can sometimes find them a bit cheaper too.

Maybe, KD ... Maybe!

Don't mind if I derail the thread for a moment ....

I see the carto punch there. So if I piece together the bits of carto vaping that I remember...

If I just go with the carto then its kind of like dripping ... but a few drop at a time?

If I get the carto punch, I can also get one of them weird looking carto tanks, and the carto becomes like a drop in coil? How leak resistant are these set ups?

I've been trying to find a drop in solution for when I can't rebuild. The problem is I haven't been able to find a clearo to my liking. These seem like they'd be a bit more customizable, and a milk-shakey vape sounds up my alley ... I love a dense vape

I'm pretty sure that kates did an excellent and thorough explanation of kartos, and how they work.

If an addition at all (good job, Kates!), no, kartos are not really like dripping at all. Once a karto is completely filled (more or less a mil or so), they can be topped off as they dry out via vaping, but it's unlike the constant drip drip drip of an atty (old or new skool).

Yes, you can get all sorts of "weird looking" carto tanks. :D They really never had any major leak probs for me. An occasional, but rare.

I will say that "milk-shakey" vapes aren't necessarily dense vapes. I meant that they have less air flow, so it's more of a ummm.... "determined" vape than the tanks and coils we use now. :)

Like Ms. Kates, I use them now, once in a while, for old times sake. They are fairly fiddle free, and welp, I grew up on them.


I do believe that you may have caused Tootle Puffer Kween, formerly known as Karto Kween, to break down and cry happy tears. :D

And that, she did! :D

On the russian forum there was preorder for 1st batch of ProXvoStick – a 26650 version of seatbelt.
So you can expect it to be in production soon.
Here's the link if you're curious (use gtranslate) ProXVOStick DNA40 для батарей 26650 от Челса

Update: on page 148 Chels mentioned he does not plan to run a production batch of Pro version until some store (VA?) will make a order for a big batch.

With the HG2 and ability to charge it occasionally during the day I have no problems getting through the day, no need to make it any bigger.

If I could ever get the wicking right in my GEM's so that I don't get the initial dibble when I refill it will probably overtake my REO's as my daily device..

Yes Google translated...
"Features

Currently scoundrel remains in the status of the virtual ... in the bag." :D

Does it come with a burlap bag and JA?
But seriously bigger does not float my boat, AT ALL.
However, product in stock would be swell.

Edit;
the ... is a three letter word for something we sit on.
Gawd I hate censorship!

I wonder why new models are being introduced when nearly everything is always out of stock. :(

I just peeked over on Mini's site. The next batch of Xvo's isn't due for 5 weeks and will only be offered in blue and red. I agree - from watching stock on the site it seems like they can make Xvosticks fast enough ... odd they'd devote so much to a device that ultimately looks like and markets like an afterthought (even a step backward)

also ...

The Limited Edition is about to get a little less limited ... though it would have been cool to see an LE in Blue or Red

This is good news - I have been waiting for another run of the LE, although I am partial to the black. Hope VA carries it, though.
