RIP VAMO 3

That's it...

VAMO - I'm done with you!

Back in July of 2013, my VAMO 2 DIED...

Now granted, I had a little bit to do with the VAMO 2 dying, especially considering that I did in fact drop it.  Sure, I expected it to last a little longer and be more durable...

So I ordered the VAMO 3 and was happy to have the "upgrade"...

So What happened with the VAMO 3?
Well, the 510 threads are stripped!

I treat all of my stuff like delicate little flowers (not counting the odd drop here or there).  I find it next to impossible to believe that I caused the metal to be stripped, but alas, the proof is in the pudding...

So what am I going to do about it?

I've got one of these on order:

That's right, I jumped ship...
Goodbye VAMO hello SIGELEI LEGEND...

If you've read my Sigelei #19 Review, you already know that I like Sigelei products...  Money doesn't grow on trees (at least where I live), so I can't afford to try the VAMO 4 and VAMO 5.  To be honest, the 4 and 5 still have the same soft chromed BRASS threads on the 510 connector, while the Sigelei appears to have a Stainless Steel 510 connector.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'll be reviewing it soon, so keep your eyes peeled...

As always, thank you so very, very, very much for your continued support, thank you for your comments and thank you for Liking it, Tweeting it, Sharing it, +1ing it and telling your dog about it, etc...  ;)

And don't forget, if you Follow this Blog (over in the right pane), you can be alerted every time I post a new review!

Review: Lemon Ice from Mister E-Liquid

So a couple of months ago I brought in 4 eLiquids from Mr. E and they were not too bad.  Having had a recent lull in my eLiquid choices, I decided to try another new one from them.  Lemon Ice!

So let's get down to business....

4mm Wick for Wrapping Coils?

So a couple of months ago, I had this genius idea...

Everybody knows that "BIGGER is better", right?
Well that's what I'm told at least...

You can find silica wick in the following dimensions 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm and even 3.5mm (rarely)...  I wanted to know where the 4mm was hiding!!!

Think about it... 
I rarely see anyone use 1mm...
I rarely see anyone use 3.5mm either...

It was my idea to see, if maybe the elusive and unheard of 4mm could somehow be a "magical" sized wick!  

So let's see what we've got here...

Grant's Vanilla Custard Review

As anyone who reads my Blog regularly will tell you, I've been searching for the "perfect eLiquid".  When I say "perfect", I don't mean an eLiquid that everyone agrees is the "best" in the world, I mean one that is perfect, inasmuch as it's made to taste exactly as what it's packaged to be.

Having read (or at least skimmed) dozens of reviews and comments about Grant's Vanilla Custard (GVC for the rest of this review), I decided that I needed to get a hold of some for myself.

Review: 4 eLiquids from Mister E-Liquid

So today I'm going to be reviewing 4 eLiquids from Mister E-Liquid!  If you've read my eLiquid reviews before, you'll know that I apply a no-nonsense, no butt-kissing approach to my reviews.  It's either made correctly or it gets a bad review!

Won't you join me?  Who knows... Maybe Mr. E. is on to something great!?

Alien Visions: Gorilla Juice Review

So earlier this year I reviewed the most renowned eLiquid on the planet Boba's Bounty and I also reviewed a couple of other flavors from Alien Visions as well.

This time, I went back for what has been considered by many to be AVE's #2 best selling eLiquid.  None other than Gorilla Juice!

Grand Vapor - Private V2 (Tri-Tone) Clone - Review

So today I'll be doing a short and sweet review of a mechanical battery mod that was made in China, but is a clone of something that's made in the Philippines!  The Grand Vapor Private V2 (Tri-Tone) clone.

ProTank Head Longevity Study

So a couple of months ago, it occurred to me that I should really try and figure out how long these heads REALLY last.  But as I tested them, I discovered something that really surprised me...

Review: Vitamin A eLiquid from Hangsen

So today's review is about something that there's next to NOTHING available to read about on the Internet.

If you want to read about Justin Beiber, Google has "About 614,000,000 results".
If you want to read about Jessica Beil, Google has "About 57,500,000".

If you want to read about Hangsen's mysterious Vitamin A eLiquid.....

Well, Google will provide you with exactly "7 results".  Go ahead - try it: CLICK
(And 4 of them take you to this website! - LOL)

Review: 6 Tobacco eLiquids from Hangsen

So I was 75% done with this review and don't ask me what happened, but while this blog entry was saved as a draft, somehow it got erased.  I've contacted Google, but I'm not expecting them to dig it out of their server (perhaps WordPress is in my future).  Anyway, I had written a whole bunch of interesting stuff, but being a bit downtrodden, I'm just going to have to make the best of it.  Since I already covered a lot of background information on Hangsen in my first review of their eLiquids, you should check out that review too...

VAMO 3 - Stainless Steel Review

Having been a long-time VAMO 2 fan, when I broke mine I was really bummed.  So what I'm going to do with this review is not just review the VAMO 3, but I'm also going to do a small comparison between the VAMO 3 and the VAMO 2.  Not quite a VAMO 3 vs VAMO 2 though.

Before I begin, I should point out WHAT this is (for those of you who don't know).  Once you finally realize that you're not getting ENOUGH power from your dinky eGo-C battery, you'll eventually be greeted by about a dozen different common options.  The APV (Advanced Personal Vaporizer) is basically what you're going to want.  The VAMO series of APV's happen to be among the best of them.  The VAMO supports both Variable Voltage (VV) and Variable Wattage (VW), so you can basically set your device at whatever power level that YOU decide is best.  Unlike an eGo-C battery which is always 3.7V or an eGo-Twist which has hard limits, the VAMO 3 can be set anywhere from 3-6V and from 3-15W.  It also supports at least 3 different battery configurations: 1-18350, 1-18650 or 2-18350's.  With built-in Power and Reverse Polarity protection, it's worth its weight in Gold if you're concerned about safety!  Trust me, if you get one, you're going to love it!

EmpireMods LR510 Review

When a small company from the United States puts their name on a Vaping product, it had better be good.  Trust me, you don't put your name on something unless you know that it's a winner.

So today I'll be reviewing the EmpireMods Bridge Free LR510 1.5ohm Atomizer.  Yes, that's a mouthful, but what I'm really hoping for is a mouthful of delicious, flavorful Vapor!

But allow me to tell you a little bit about my experience with them first...

RIP VAMO 2

So if you read my blog post about the KamryTech X10, you can see near the end that I mentioned my VAMO 2 dropped onto the floor and I had an interesting experience with the X10.  But what I didn't know until the next day, is that the drop BROKE my VAMO 2!!!

There's no visible breakage, however I'm convinced that the circuit board is either cracked or something else on the board is broken.  So I'm using this opportunity to upgrade to the newest version.

So while I hate to break things, I'm really happy that they're now making a newer, better VAMO for me to use as both a VV/VW and to use in order to test my coils!

Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming review for the VAMO 3...

Update 8/12/2013: The VAMO 3 Review is UP!  Catch it HERE!

If you appreciate what I'm doing here, you know what to do....
