IMOTION FIRST (Well… Second) LOOK!

HEADS UP WARNING!!

When you screw a Vivi Nova (full size) or other similarly sized tank firmly onto this device you completely shut off the air flow. It absolutely needs one of the following:

  • air paths cut into the outer ring of the top cap
  • a higher sitting 510 connection

I’m also a little iffy on the venting method used on this but it will be hard to test.

I’ve contacted the manufacturer on these items. Hopefully they’ll listen. We shall see.

Also, a note on pricing… it looks like they’re trying to do what Smoktech tried with the V-Max. From the CigStar website:

For the newest IMotion2 V+, the market guided price is $120/set. We won’t provide you if you sells less than $120/set. Thank you for your attention!

So don’t shoot the vendors if you don’t like the pricing! 🙂

KGO VV BATTERY

A PBusardo Review – KGO VV – Hoosier ECig

Vendor Link: Hoosier ECig

Post Review Follow-up:

Not sure this was clear in the review, so I’ll mention it here. As far as the passthrough function is concerned, the battery does not need to be fully charged for the passthrough to work. It just needs to build up enough charge to fire the device. You can then use it as it’s charging.

I just didn’t want people to think they could plug their completely dead KGO VV into a USB port somewhere and start vaping away because that’s not how it works.

IMHO there is a difference between true passthrough functionality and vape-while-charging functionality.

If you look at the Hoosier website, they don’t claim a true passthrough, but call it, “Passthrough charging” This I can completely agree with, so perhaps knocking it for it’s passthrough capabilities was unfair.

IMOTION FIRST LOOK

Another VV for us to play with. Here are some photos for you. This thing is huge (Well, not Bam huge… but still huge)! The ProVari appears for a size comparison.

Full review coming soon!

KGO VV FIRST LOOK

Looks like Hoosier has some cool new branded packaging!  Retail perhaps?  Hmmm….

Vendor Link: Hoosier Ecig

BTW – this is a passthrough battery as well. I tried to post the photos of the connection and cable (that comes with it) but my photo server is down. I’ll get them up as soon as I can!

Full review coming soon!

REDDS PREMIUM STARTER KIT

A PBusardo Review – Redds Premium Starter Kit

Vendor Link: Happy Vaper

Typically I’d mention that the price is in Canadian dollars, but since these days they appear to be pretty much equivalent to US dollars I won’t… even though I just did.

SMOKTECH 18650 VV GRIPPER

A PBusardo Review – Smoktech 18650 VV Gripper

Manufacturer Link: Smoktech

Post Review Followup:

One of my long term testers managed to break the Gripper in less than a week.

In using the front button panel the circuit board appears to have separated from it’s mount points and pushed into the body.

When I opened I could see that the small tabs and hot glue used to hold the board in place failed.

The buttons all went into the body and when handling it, one of the +/- buttons must have fallen through the holes and is no where to be found.

So a word of warning to all you Gripper users out there. When using your front panel buttons PRESS LIGHTLY!!

See the photos below.

CHROME LAVA TUBE COMPARISON – L-RIDER VS. YOUNG JUNE

A PBusardo Review – In Depth Chrome Lava Tube Comparison

L-Rider Vs. Young June

Which one got to go fishing?

Vendor Links:
Young June – Crystal Clear Vaping.com
L-Rider – Kidney Puncher

Notes:

  • There already appears to be a newer version of the L-Rider Chrome Lambo as the newer versions are supposed to be able to display the resistance of the attached device.
  • The first photo in the gallery is courtesy of bizzyb0t.  This is showing the paint/coating coming off the fire button of the Young June with use.
  • Kidney Puncher does sell the Lambo by itself, and not part of the Punch Kit.  They are also getting the new versions of the Lambo that shows the resistance (as well as some other new features).  Hopefully they’ll be getting me one for review.
  • My apologies to Andrew from CRYSTAL CLEAR VAPING for adding an “H” to his company name in the vid!

Post Review Follow-Up:

  • I’ve had to do some post pulling with the Young June.  I’d recommend they bring their center pin up just a bit on future revs.
