A PBusardo Review & Contest – The Futura

In this video we take a look at the Futura DNA-20 tube mod, talk about the differences between the production unit and the pre-production, and throw a small contest in at the end.

… of course we look at some rockets too 🙂

The Post Review Follow-up:

• 12/11/13 – Some corrections to the review:

1. The inclined Ego-510 cap should be 22mm as well
2. Only the 510 cap uses the hex screw alone. The others come with, and can use both. The slotted screw is just too large to fit the smaller top cap.

Looks like Kanger isn’t the only one playing with airflow. Aspire will be releasing an adjustable airflow tank as well…

Note that Aspire has sent me their entire line of tanks (not including the above… yet).   I hope to get photos of all their perversions up here soon for you to take a look at.

Why this is important

Electronic cigarettes have become hugely popular across EU member states. Smokers finally have access to an alternative to smoking tobacco,
one which leading scientists and medical professionals agree is around 99% safer than traditional cigarettes.

Following the recent overturning of EU proposals to bring electronic cigarettes under medical regulation, the EU is once again attempting to enforce
poorly thought out and excessively draconian restrictions on the import, export, manufacture and sale of ALL currently available electronic cigarette products.

Under the new proposals, all tanks, juices and re-usable devices will be banned. The plans to rush these proposals through before the end of the current
EU Presidency mean that proposals designed to decimate the electronic cigarette industry and deprive millions of ex-smokers from the one product that they
know will keep them off tobacco for good, will be voted on without due democratic process.

We urge the EU Parliament to reconsider the proposals under Article 18 of the Tobacco Products Directive. More time needs to be given to the process to
ensure that reasonable consumer regulation which respects the rights of vapers is drafted and approved.

I’ll continue to update this post as I get more.

Good news! Looks like the boys from NexGenVapor are back on track and have worked out the kinks with the Futura and are shipping again. My production unit has arrived and it will be next up for review.

Bad news is that, at this point, it will need to wait until I get back from vacation.

The good new again? I have vaped it and it works. 🙂

Why the radio silence? According to them, they’ve been living at the shop trying to get things back on track. And yes, I agree, a post on their website telling everyone what was going on and not to panic would have been nice.

I did get some photos of it for you below. I’m really digging the new top cap.

It’s shown with a Kayfun Lite sitting atop it. The pin is now adjustable via an allen key.

People have been asking me about the Kayfun Replica available from FastTech.  Mine finally arrived.  It took 36 days from order to house.  I’ve heard from others that their orders were cancelled after an even longer wait.

Here are my initial impressions.  Note is has not been built or vaped yet.

• Price: $21.37
• The plastic tank came misthreaded onto the metal part giving it an interesting crooked look.  I was able to, with a fair amount of difficulty, get it to thread correctly.  Hopefully it won’t leak.
• It had some “chunks” of something in the collector tank.
• The build quality and machining isn’t as good as a real Kayfun.
• The mouth piece isn’t as rounded as the Kayfun.
• Appears to have some burs in the air flow controller.
• I don’t have a Kayfun 3.1 to compare it to, so you’ll see it on the left with a real Kayfun Lite+ on the right in the photos below.
• The parts are interchangeable.
• The FastTech receipt not specifically saying “clone” or “replica” makes me cranky.

NEW IN THE QUEUE!

• The Stingray Mech – VERY interesting switch on this one.
• The Fogger V3 – We’ll add this to the rest of the Foggers.
• The Electric Angel Nebula Genesis Style Atomizer

A PBusardo Review – V3 50 Cal from V3Tronix Version 2

In this video we take a look at the Version 2 of the V3Tronix .50 Cal mod. This one really bums me out. A small fix or addition part would change this to a very strong thumbs up.

The Post Review Follow-Up::
11/24/13 – I’ve already been contacted by the manufacturer. Apparently I’m using the V2 “Batch 1” spacers and pins. According to them, the V2 “Batch 2” spacers and pins have been re-engineered to remove the battery rattle and connectivity issues. They’re sending me the new parts to have a look at. I’ll post a follow-up video as soon as I have them. More work for me, shame shame on them!!
