The Popular2 a Korean made mech mod from Kato.

Don’t ask me about the Popular1, perhaps it wasn’t popular enough.  🙂

I’ll get to the review soon, but for more information on these feel free to contact Iaan at studioiaan@gmail.com

A new clearo was added to the mix.  After trying out another T3 and validating it was no better or worse than the one used previously, it was modded (UGH!!).  The top wick was removed and the silicon cap flipped.  Question, why are people flipping the caps?  Once flipped they appear to do nothing.   Why not either remove them, or notch then?  Anywho…

1. The T3 (unmodified out of the box received from LJ E-Smokes) on an AnyVape
2. The iClear on a Sigelei Z-Max
3. The Boge on a Smoktech Z-Max
4. The Vivi Nova on an eVic
5. A modified T3 on the VAMO.

A scene from “The Chair”…

• The unmodified T3 even with a two day soak is still producing a plasticy taste.  Better than night one, but still unacceptable.  It was put aside.

• The iClear did a lot of intense “popping” on night two.  The taste was still good, but not enough of it.  It was put aside.

• The Vivi Nova started producing a slightly burnt flavor when compared to the others.  Did I get “bad head” again?  Damn!  I may need to try another head.

• The carto tank.  It just works!  Still a fully saturated and enjoyable vape!

• The modified T3 kicked in pretty quick.  MUCH better than the unmodified version.  I also noticed it putting out a tremendous amount of vapor.  Still slightly plasticy, but not enough to get in the way of an enjoyable vape.

Night two summary

So after night two, can I ask you a question?  Is it ok to like more than one device?  Let me answer it for you.  Of course it is!

I received a wonderful, satisfying vape from the devices I narrowed it down to which were the carto tank, the Vivi Nova, and the modified T3.

The carto tank just works.  A rich, fully saturated vape, and completely position independent.  Just pick it up and vape.  Of course you have to get your punching or slotting right for your liquid.

The Vivi Nova is easy to clean, easy to fill, and easy to change liquids.  Of course you may get an occasional bad head and you have to tilt.

The T3 is position independent and provides a good vape if not slightly plasticy.  Of course you have to modify it to get it that way.

Next test will be to change the flavor on them.  I want to see how will then pick up the new flavor without cleaning and just see if I notice all the same things with a different flavor.

An interesting thing did happen to me.  I had another mod sitting next to me that wasn’t in the photo.  I grabbed it without looking and thought it was a clearo.  I vaped it without tilting and it provided 3 nice clean vapes.  When I looked at it I was surprised to see that it was the mini DID.   Hmmm….

Eventually folks we’re going to get something that we can just fill and go.   We’re not going to have to worry about tilting and tipping, not worry about modifying, not worry about burnt, plasticy, or poor taste, not worry about oxidizing and wrapping, and not worry about inconsistency.  We’re getting there, but IMHO, we’re not there yet.
