A PBusardo Review – The GG Oddyseus

Scott’s Review
Silver (no resistance) Wire
Kanthal A-1 32 awg (resistance) wire – Purchased off Ebay – $4.15 for 75ft.
Clear Tank: GR-Modders

Follow-up:

• I’ve been experimenting with Kanthal as apposed to nichrome. So far so good. A two inch piece with a tighter wrap is giving me around a 2.5 Ohm coil. The one thing I’ve noticed with the Kanthal is a bit of a longer break in period before the flavor starts to shine. Maybe a 1/4 tank of juice. I’m getting kinda a floral flavor from the Kanthal when I first begin to vape a new coil. Perhaps some time with the blow torch will resolve this. We shall see.

Turns out that you weren’t the only one interested in the review and battle. Innokin was as well.
I thought I’d share with you what I’ve heard:

First, keep in mind that the voltage drop Dimitri demonstrated was due to the 1.4 Ohm carto and the battery’s amp limitation. The Twist would have done the same thing. I was busy trying to be in-character, listening to the show, looking for a test box, trying to decipher his Greek/Souvlaki-Mouth accent :-), and watching the video (which always messes you up because there is a big delay between the video and the audio) Yeah… yeah, I know… no excuse! I TOTALLY missed it and I’m PISSED at myself for it. DAMN!

1. Innokin suggests removing the top inside plastic part of the mouth piece to lesson the condensation issue.  They are also working to improve the tank performance.
2. Innokin is going try to incorporate a mini USB port as opposed to the Nokia port for the passthrough/charging feature in the next revision.
3. Innokin is going to try to incorporate a feature that will display the Ohms of the attached atty/carto in the next revision.
4. Innokin agrees that the specs/documentation for the X3 and X4 adapters are potentially reversed and are working to resolve that.
5. Innokin feels that I am far sexier than Dimitri (ok, perhaps I made that up).

So, as we mentioned in the battle, they are INDEED listening.  As I hear more, I’ll let you know.

They are also sending me their new Tidy Clearomizer (I always shutter when I hear “clearomizer”) and the new magnetic eGo adapter to review.

Just thought I’d pass that along for ya!

Note that I welcome any manufacturer’s information and will impartially post info here upon request.   Just let me know!

Here is the replay folks. Always fun to go on with the Vape Team, this was no different.

We snowballed this into something “epic”.

I realized too late that Dimitri put a 1.4 Ohm atty on the device so the amp limit kicked in which is why he didn’t get the voltage he was expecting. The Twist would have done the same thing. Too bad I didn’t catch during the show. DAMN!

As far as the “puff counter” is concerned. You can hear my comment on that IN the review. I would have thought a smart guy like Dimitri would consider all angles on a feature like that.

Bottom line is that Dimitri and I actually have very similar opinions on the iTaste, although we presented it in a pretty fun and absolutely over the top way. Finally, just to clarify, Dimitri and I have a LOT of respect for each other and everything you see was in fun!

Although I encourage you to watch the entire program, the madness begins around 18:30.

ENJOY!

Follow-Up:

To prevent leaking/flooding when putting the top on after you’ve filled the tank, do the following:

1. Fill the tank.
2. Put the top cap on until the seal/o-ring hits the tank body so when you tilt it will not leak.
3. Tilt the tank until the air pocket is over the carto punch/slot.
4. Press the top cap all the way on.

This will force air as opposed to liquid into the carto.  Just be aware that it will suck in a pretty fair volume of air.  Far more than a tiny air bubble.

Thank to everyone including Dino for the assistance with this.

I was just made aware of this deal on Boge cartos and thought I’d pass it along.

Pretty outstanding deal.

A PBusardo Video – THE ROCHESTER VAPE MEET AND MY CONVERSATION WITH ZEN

In this video we talk a little bit about the Rochester Vape meet and a lot about Zen, the creator of the Zenesis and the Z-Atty. This is an interesting, passionate, talented individual that I’m excited to introduce you to.

Zen talks about the meet, the development of the Zenesis, the design, function, and models of the Z-Atty.

Sorry in advance for the audio quality. I see lavalier mics in my future. 🙂
