Comparison of the ViVant Alternate and the Boundless CFV.
Battery life:
The CFV heats up twice as fast and uses (2) non swappable 18350 batteries running in series at 7.4V.
The Alternate uses (1) user swappable 18650 battery running at 3.7V.
The battery lives are roughly equal, maybe an edge...
Hello all! :wave:
Some good news for you. :)
The Alternate is now backed by a 2 year warranty! :rockon:
Must be purchased from ViVant or an authorized seller like @PuffItUp
Here is a link to the new warranty information:

Hopefully I'll be back soon with some...
@sixstringsmash Unfortunately I cannot tell from that picture. Regardless I would definitely pick up some RBT screens. They are very useful not only for the Milaana but for many other applications.
@muunch You are correct. The button cap is a cap that was on the top 18mm joint of my EVO for...
@sixstringsmash They may not be RBT screens. That wouldn't happen with an RBT screen.
@RastaBuddhaTao makes the absolute nicest screens I've ever seen.
@sickmanfraud
The Fenix took a bit of modding to get it to where I personally like it.
The stock Alternate tastes great and has more vapor.
Battery life is similar but the Alternate has swappable batteries plus USB charging.
Fenix has many great preset temps but the Alternate has 1° temp...
Yes, I understand @KeroZen The mod I did to the mouth piece makes it flow like a SP or crafty/mighty MP.
The air intake is amazing now, less draw restriction and the clouds are nice and dense. Also the finer mesh keeps small particle from entering the bottom intake
You know I wouldn't do a mod...
Hey all!:wave:
I moded my CFV to have much better airflow.
First the restrictive mouth piece.
This was simple.
If you shine a flashlight into the MP and look through the part where it connects to the unit (tried to get a pic, wouldn't focus) the hole is choked down very narrow before it...
Exactly how much larger is 18 over 14?
After thinking about it, I think smaller is better.
I don't think someone would grab the 510 for a session, rather for a quick run to the store or what not.
Also being an adapter to a mod box, I would like to see it closer to the size of an E-juice...
@blackstone I'm sorry I should have mentioned that.
It depends on the ambient room temperature but going to 356F which is a great temp to start at takes around 1:20-1:22 probably less in warmer climates
If I temp step from 350-360-370-380F having a 4 minute session I got at least 4-5 good draws...
Josh at ViVant was an absolute pleasure to talk to. I feel 100% comfortable with their customer service.
I love the fact that any upgrade or change to the firmware will be able to be done from your own home on your computer from their website.
No need to send the unit in if you already have...
Thank you so much @Little Bill!:)
I got the stem from Dave here at www.mistvaporizer.com.
You can also contact @Alan at alan@toasty-top.com.
For beautiful custom stems for most any application @Alan is the man!:tup:
Hello all!:wave: Sorry for the late replies, I wanted to get some more info for you all.:tup:
@sickmanfraud Yes I do have other 18650 batteries but wanted to try the unit with the factory batteries to see what the life was and how many chambers I could get per charge. I got 4-5 depending on...
Snark makes some pretty cool guitar picks IMHO.
@RastaBuddhaTao Ryan, Fender makes some cool pearl picks. Here's your white pearl.
Google "Fender Premium Celluloid Guitar Picks" to see more cool pearl picks or click on this link...
Hello all!
I got my Alternate today. I am charging the battery now (it comes with a SONY VTC4!) and I did a few mods in the meantime.
I didn't really like how far up the screen in the cooling chamber was so this was my solution...
I got a 3/4" screen and a HipVap pod which was the perfect...
Hey all. I wanted to share the best mod for the CFV I've found so far.
I was using a basket screen in place of a ring mod for a while.
I found something I like even more. Using a wooden ring I inserted an RBT screen into the ring.
The screen is the same height as the ring.

@blackstone Puffitup does have them but it says "out of stock".
It was difficult to find so here's a link.

With the original cold wound coils you had to tighten the coil legs a tiny bit after a few sessions because the coils metal would soften a little bit. This would cause the issue with on/off performance.
The hot wound coils are wound while hot eliminating that issue so you have consistent...
