Silver Bullet

Silver Bullet

Product Review (submitted on March 3, 2012):
I started using ecigs about 4 years ago. I went "pro" with the adaptever (sold anymore? No idea). Using the adaptever I have been using ultrafire batts for a 6v voltage. I've been ordering everything (attys, juice, etc.) from HG. Since my original purchase of the adaptever (about two years ago) the quality of the 901 attys from HG seems to have gone down hill. Much like the batteries (I currently own around 16 batteries, one set is always charging). The batteries would last about 1-3 hours, before the kick (or anything at all) would take place. I wanted to get away from the entire Chinese market ... for the past year the attys (even LR 901s) would last about 3-6 days at best (even while dripping every other drag).

My "silver stick" (adaptever) served me well, for some time, but without complications. I needed to switch. Didn't have much money, but was stupid (I guess) and went ahead anyways. I found altsmoke.com. I guess the electric department will have to wait a bit before I pay them next...

I purchased the silver bullet, along with 5 LR 501 attys, two batteries and a charger. Yesterday I grabbed the package from the mailbox (which, had been sitting there for two days, apparently). I charged the two 18650 (expensive little things) batteries up for 24 hours (I slept a lot), and today (well, yesterday, it is 1am) I took the chance.

Here is what I can tell you -

a) I'm very cautious about atty life. I've always babied my attys - never let them get hot, always kept them wet (especially the LRs under 6v) ... but I've had worse and worse luck with them. I'm not convinced by any means that my luck will be better with the LRs I got from altsmoke - but I'm hopeful (based on reviews). They are, about 4 dollars more than what I paid for my 901s, but - all worth if if they perform well, for longer than a week.

b) I'm a 6v guy. Gave up 3.xv some time ago. I knew I was "downgrading" to 3.7v with the bullet. I wasn't sure what to expect. The vapor I get, the throat hit I get, from the 3.7v bullet is 2x that of what I have been getting (for the past year or so) of the 6v. I'm impressed. I read earlier comments (and elsewhere than here) that the atty could get hot - I have not had this happen yet. I use drip tips and have been keeping an eye on fluids.

c) Battery life - I would have already been to my third set, today alone, on the 6v system. I've been using the same battery for the past 13 hours - I couldn't tell you if it was just taken off the charger. Amazing. I'm somehow not surprised however.. Buying ultrafire cr123's from ebay isn't exactly great - when every single one comes form China.

D) Atty (again) - When I switched, on my old system, to a new 901 - I would typically have an hour, maybe two or three - of pretty much constant use (a drag every 2 minutes) before the atty would feel like it was "clogging" or simply not put out what it did before. At that point (in the past) I would continue using that atty until it performed no more - and I could not "fix it" by any means (soda, washing, blowing, everything, tried everything). The 501 in this case, seems brand new to me still - yes, it has only been 12+ hours, and I'm hesitant to say it's "great" but my gut tells me it's much better quality.

In summary, I'll say this ... my experience has been exactly what I had hoped for from altsmoke.com. I continue to carry my older stick with me as a backup (proven to have problems, but still proven to work) - and will do so for the next few weeks ... but the bullet, and the setup that I purchased from altsmoke, seems far superior than my existing system. I can only hope that the atty I'm using will continue to function for at-least 7 days (6 days now) before starting to give out. If it can - I'm sold.

One thing I did find a bit interesting (and maybe altsmoke can clear this up for me, I don't know) ... the ejuice I can get from HG(.com) is far cheaper (even with shipping) than what I can find in the US. I don't know if it's just not as good, or what (it is all I have ever used, so it's all i know, seems fine to me).

On a side note, altsmoke's system (automated or not) is superior by all means. Quick responses (automated), quick shipping (human), good packaging (human), I give them a thumbs up.

I'll follow up with how long everything survives on my end as time progresses.

Oh, and getting one silver bullet, makes you want to buy all the colors.. It's crazy..
