We all fall for the hype at times !

[SH65FLY]

Vapes are worse than Mobile phones for been rapidly produced and replaced with claims of big improvements to the "new" model.
I will be honest I started my experience with vaping with an Oxva Xlim pro and yes it worked as it should, I enjoyed it really as it got me off the cigs very easy.
Then I started looking at online reviews and came across claims that the Vaporesso Xros range was the bees knees and better than the xlim pro.
So I bought a Xros pro and a nano 4 as they take the same pods. ( By the way I was really impressed with the pods ) No leaks and long lasting.
So I will fast forward to recently.
I seen the all new singing and dancing Oxva Vprime with a big battery and supposedly leak proof pods.
Yep I fell for that hype as well and now I use the Vprime as a daily device.
Done get me wrong it works but not as fool proof as they were made out to be.
Here are some downsides.
2ml pods are hard to view what liquid is left with smoked out plastic and only a little square to see through.
The leak-proof claim is not exactly true. If you vape an 0.6ohm and accidentality cover the air intake with your hand it weeps .
Carrying tissue is a must, now it wont leak every day but when it does leak its not shy.
I am always careful not to over fill and make sure I close the bung correct so the vacuum is kept right.
I am at a stage now I remove the pod when not in use just to be safe.
Apart from that they are OK and a big plus for me is you can get 5ml pods. ( More to leak out I hear you say LOL ).
Now Oxva have introduced there new model already called the Nexlim , Phew that was quick I must say. I thought I had the latest with the Vprime.
You know looking back at my experience from start to finish, I am going to vote the ones I have had in order.
Number 1 : Vaporesso Nano 4 ( Great bit of kit and pods are superb ).
Number 2 : Vaporesso Pro ( Once again the pods are great ).
Number 3 : Oxva Vprime, Battery life is good, the autodraw is great on a DTL device although I use mine MTL with 0.6ohm pods on low watts. ( Watts go all the way to 60 with a 0.2 pod ). And 5ml pods are available.
Number 4 Oxva Xlim Pro. Pods are fiddly to fill and I have had a few surprise leaks for no apparent reason .
I was going to get the Vaporesso Luxe XR Max but its button fire only and I like autodraw. I still like the look of the XR max mind you.
I am sitting here saying to myself will the NeXlim be any better or an I just caught up in the retail trap and could waste more money un-neccesary.
I do not think I will be alone saying I like the newest vapes . LOL
I think this has turned into a hobby and was intended to get me off the cigs. 5 Months ago.
Cheers.

I think we have all fallen into the hype trap I have & when I bought my dotmod dotpod max I fell for it & had one ordered I had read about someone's on here leaking & it didn't put me off lol & now I've got 3 of these & they easily hands down the best pods I've used for a long time, zero leaks great battery & look some what stylish & they ain't expensive £29 ISH quid.

Hook, line and sinker. It's been difficult to resist new shiny stuff for quite a while but i finally stopped after nearly 10 years.

This place is bad for your wallet. It's ok if you can afford it and want to treat it as a hobby. I've got at least one fair size crate of stuff out in the garage , the majority of it unused, and mostly from TPD so i didn't pay top dollar for much if any of it really. I've also got litres of nic from about the same time out in the chest freezer. I realised after that the shinyitus was getting out of hand so have been good on the whole tbh.

I bought a few Freemax Autopods 3 i think and 2 Aspire Cloudflasks and rotated them for it must have been a good 3/4 years. I forgot to add i stocked up big time on Autopod coils at the time as i loved the thing. Still do but coils were proving harder to get and pricer. These devices never really let me down and took an absolute battering.

Roll forward to start of this year and i needed new devices so asked the best place i know, here obviously, and got sound advice as usual and went for a Luxe XR Max. Then got another which i pretty bricked straight away by dropping it. So i went and tried an Sx mini Puremax as a back up. Love both these devices and have just bought a few more there to keep me going. That's me out for just now i hope.

I see there's a new 'we kid you not absolute will never leak at all ' Puremax 2 version out now. No thanks. Personally, and it's just me, that first version should have been that before they started bringing out x,y and pods to milk us!!

ps- did i say i was recently tempted by the Luxe X Pro and other Vaporesso offerings.......arrrrrrrgh! Must resist. I've got enough to do me.

Mate you have my full attention now.
The Luxe XR max ! If I got it with the MTL pods and maybe 0.8 coils are they good for MTL or are they better suited to the DTL user.
The button fire niggles me a bit but they look lush.
Give me your honest opinion mate I can take it LOL
PS: I have some new boxed kits unused that I bought as they were cheap.
I actually have Lost vape Epoch kit here unopened, if anyone is stuck and cant afford a kit to aid stopping smoking they can have it for free.
Thanks and advice on the Luxe XR Max would be mint.
Cheers

Thank you mate I appreciate it.
PS: I am still on 50/50 salts at 20mg.
I have more bottles of liquid than you can shake a stick at.
Got somewhere doing them for 75p to 99p per bottle and believe me its as good as any other brands out there.
But thanks again.
Them XP max has my head busted so I need a little push I suppose to try and justify owning one if they will suit my needs.
Red leather looks well I think. hahahaha

just buy it. yes they are good for mtl and if you can’t get on with the button you can get the luxe pro, which has auto draw but a smaller battery and it’s the same pods.

but the max is great, they are all i’ve been using for the last year or so. all the vape gear i used to accumulate is relegated to the cupboard and i’m planning to get shot of most of it.

 

[zouzounaki]

make sure and get the 5pm pods though.
