First the boring bit. This is a personal review, just my personal opinion and not the views of planet of the vapes and totally independent
right, formalities out of the way, on with the review! I put up a thread last week asking for opinions on the vape4me drip body and the classic dca. Now the dca was the clear winner but the ever lovely Mark said he had a vape4me knocking about in his vape stash going unused as he prefered the dca, would I like to try it? Well it arrived today (don't you just love vape mail!!!). It came ready assembled but being a typical vaper I instantly set to stripping it down and rebuilding it. I followed the PDF instruction manual and was surprised that it wasn't too bad, but I'm guessing the fact that mark had already done it made the job easier as the rubber bits were flexible enough to work with. I'm glad I did it again though as the instructions say to build some of it on the mod so the contact to the battery is in the perfect place. So far so good, screwed my 306 in, whacked on the top piece and had a vape and it was a really tight drawer. There was also not much vapour coming off it so I was going to pack it back up and send it straight back. Luckily something made me have another check with my friend google. I watched a few YouTube vids and tight draw and lack of vapour seemed to be the general rule all of them had the 306 screwed down as far as it would go, which was what I did too. Then I had one final look at the instructions and read that the atty only needed to go tight enough so the air holes on the atty line up with the drip channel.
So I loosened it up and was sure it was too loose to fire, but no, it burst into life. Back on with the top, screwed down till the middle was tight to the top of the 306. This was more like it, the draw was much better, enough resistance to know I was taking a puff, without feeling like my cheeks were getting a good work out. Vapour production was vastly improved and the flavour is as you'd expect from a 306, maybe slightly less than with just a drip tip but not really enough to worry about. The best thing for me is that it is now quite a cool vape, I find usually 306s are a little fierce in the heat department. There are no leaks and any over filled juice is just channeled away. I've been using it for about 5 hours now and it doesn't leak. The quality of the threading seems really good and I like the overall build quality. It has turned dripping into a hassle free experience.
these can be bought from alba vapours for around £28 (plus p&p). I wouldn't say it's an essential piece of equipment but it is certainly a nice extra to my vape kit box. Many thanks to the lovely Mark for being wonderful
