Source Terra, VB 11

Not open for further replies.
So I'm looking to add a few atty's for my Dr Dabber, and Im interested in the new Vapor bros atomizers, as well as the source terra. I was wondering if anyone can compare them to the KISS Ti carts -- I only have experience w/ the white ceramic rod w9 stuff, which seem to be the same as the new VB atty cores.

I have a white core KISS and a VB heater in the mail, due tomorrow. I'd be glad to post my impressions after some testing :)

Well looks like I'll be suffering through another day with a dirty silica wick :( My new heaters like Oakland so much they decided to make a vacation of it lol. Very happy with vaporwarehouse, they shipped within hours of order placement, but CA mail leaves something to be desired imho. Pretty sure I'll love the upgrade enough to make it worth the extra day

On the plus side, USPS is so jacked up, your items may have left and the scans never propagated. I get stuff all the time that updates 2 or 3 scans AFTER I RECEIVE IT. le sigh.

Well after 5 business days to get a package from Cali to WA (seriously I could have ridden my bike faster) only the VB11 cart works atm :( Works very well, great flavor with low heat, but unable to do any fair side-by-side.
For the unboxing point, hands down VB. Not even close imo. Nice look, I like the metal mouthpiece over the plastic, very solid hefty weight to it (maybe not a plus for travel?). The KISS looks ridiculous on a 510 battery, is this what you guys have been looking at? ugh... Unless I shouldn't be using the tower style adapter? Is that why the cart isn't working? This is the one I have:

So at this time all I can say is USPS is shit, and VB made a nice little LayG cart for under $20. Very happy with that unit out of the box.
 
GuyLeDuche,
I use one of those adapters, looks like a heap of shit. Beauty/vanity rings don't come in the appropriate size to hide that gap, either. Tried grinding one down, but the one I bought was made of adamantium...

Try looking at the contact points of the adapter -- That center pin should be about flush on the 501 side w/ the threads. I just used a screwdriver to wiggle mine to a good position when it didn't seem to be working.

Bought a used 8 and Persei, light years ahead of an ego pen experience. Of course, for a LayG cart, discretion is the key point. With that in mind, why does no one make a good high-volume skillet like the gentleman's v2 MEGA? I spend more time loading than vaping the damn thing...

Anyway, the KISS was light years ahead of the Dr Dabber (VB dabbler clone, basically), so it should at least be able to compare to the new 3-in-1

I decided to send it back. It was kind of an odd duck being for the OPhos, and I'm just kinda sour on Uptech atm. The folks at vaporwarehouse are super easy and had no problem with a return, and I really do like the VB unit after some use so now I'll just accessorize with both a chrome and a black VB heater :)

Admittedly I have mainly owned junk, but I'm really impressed with the quality feel of the VB unit. The parts feel solid and fit nicely together, no thread squeak so far, and the dish and coil are very solid. On the KISS the coil rotates within the dish and the dish rotates inside the frame? That can't be right...And just a very light, thin feel like I could crumple it up lol. Don't want to look like a troll/hater, but I have no reason to sugar coat it.

BTW, I also picked up 2 of these https://joyetech.us/joyetech-cleara...ah-clearance-sale.html?sort=p.price&order=ASC
Obviously it's only been a day, but they seem like substantially better batteries than the standard ebay c-twists. Granted you can get near double the Mahs on ebay (and pick color lol), but build quality is better imo and they look to hold voltage longer than cheapos
 
GuyLeDuche,
and they're what the knockoffs are trying to be ;)

The Kiss moves around in the cart due to being rebuildable -- my Dabbler heater (Dr Dabber, same shit) was glued (epoxied) in place. I'm not a fan of glue on my skillet, even if it's the outside. I agree KISS cart is light, but it's not a sign of shittiness, per se ;)

That said, w9's prices for their full devices that this shit hooks up to without looking dumb are absolutely retarded.

I want to grab the 3-in-1 heater (or a globe) and compare it to my dabbler style wicked coil for sure!
