OK. I'm not trying to bad-mouth Aspire or prove any point. I'm not giving 'fuel' to 'anti-ecigs movements' by posting this. I think peope have a right to information, and that's what I'm sharing. There are links in this post which can back up what is stated herein. I am not an alarmist, and I am not suggesting any foul play, other than the Atlantis WAS advertised as ALL STAINLESS STEEL, which it is NOT. However, if that doesn't bother you , that's OK with me. Let me say CLEARLY that I am PRO-VAPING, Vaping has SAVED my LIFE and COUNTLESS others', and I know for a FACT it is a safer and healthier alternative to cigarettes. My OWN health has improved DRAMATICALLY since I began vaping 1.5 years ago ( I use organic liquid, no colors, even the nicotine is organic. It's a lifestyle I chose long ago, personal choice). However. That said. YES SILICA IS DANGEROUS, IN MY OPINION, AND I USE 100% ORGANC COTTON. Nice to hear a rumor about the V2 being given to V1 customers, but, I assume that would be people with accounts w/ Aspire only ? To answer ths post about inspecting the Atlantis coils, you can see the mircoscope inspecition of it here, compared with organic cotton. Here's the pic for you to see here: So in my frustration with Aspire (I also had problems with the Nautilus), I got a Kanger Subzero tank (not a 'plus' which I found out about later). Works real nice, the pre-made coils don't work very well at all, but the RDA part, of course, works WONDERFULLY and has introduced me to RDA style atomizers. Yay ! SO ANYWAY Here's a VERY good write-up about SILICA WICKS which you ALL should READ, and, I really should make it's own thread here on the forum. However, while I have you all here, I'm going to share this excerpt from Reddit which I found recently that was posted 2 months ago. This and the opnion of my Vape Mentor led me to quit Silica Wick forever. Here's the story: (this article was orginally posted by [–]Plushp on Reddit.Com .) I brought this up a while back, Ceramic Fibre isn't an industry term any more, which Is why I found Aspire naming it Ceramic Fibre strange. Ceramic Fibre is also known as High Temperature Insulation Wool or Refractory Ceramic Fibre. It's classed as a category 2 carcinogen (In the EU) when the fibres are less than 6mm in size, as the effectively act as little needles within the lungs that can cause tumours. Refractory ceramic fibre (RCF) as used for insulation, particularly in kilns and furnaces, is a form of man-made vitreous (silicate) fibre (MMVF) and consists of alumino-silicate fibres which can cause irritation of the skin, eyes and upper respiratory tract, many being fine enough to be inhaled and deposited in the lungs. If you don't understand what "ceramic fibre" is, it's very closely related to roof insulation. The main concerns are in relation to potentially serious long-term health effects; experiments in animals have shown that RCFs can produce lung fibrosis, lung cancer, and also mesothelioma (a rare tumour of the lining of the chest cavity usually only associated with exposure to asbestos) following long-term inhalation. Following several years of discussions in expert working groups involving industry and trade union representatives, a European Directive has now been agreed which will result in RCFs with fibres less than 6mm length weighted geometric mean diameter being classified as category 2 carcinogens (substances to be regarded as if they are carcinogenic to humans) towards the end of 1998. Most RCF products currently marketed in the UK will fall into this category. (They will additionally be classified as 'irritating to the skin'). I posted a bunch of links to the European Ceramic Fibre Association, various UK H&S laws, and some research papers a while ago, but there was little interest as people generally don't want to sit and read research papers. The jist of it is, it's highly dangerous, IF inhaled at CERTAIN quantities. Problem is, we don't know how the material acts when we are sucking on it all day. When asking Aspire, they replied as such: So they won't tell us what exactly it is, which troubles me, especially after they lied about Stainless Steel. Aspire uses a ceramic fiber which is placed around the heating coil during its construction, which has undergone and passed rigorous SGS certification, and is both nontoxic and heat resistant. This ceramic material is, of course, exclusively researched and developed by the Aspire Company, and is only accessible by our manufacturing company, Shenzhen Eigate Technology Co., Ltd. Ceramic fibre has decades of research on it (And a vast amount of information on problems which are all specific to inhalation), this is apparently "new", I highly, highly doubt Aspire has invented a new ceramic fibre and would imagine they are just buying fibre insulation. (SGS certification is totally meaningless in this regard, SGS tested for heavy metals and such, it has NOTHING to do with inhalation or using the material to vape with, absolutely nothing). I don't want to rain on anyones parade, research and read up yourself and vape what you are happy to vape, I have nothing personally against Aspire, but ceramic fibre is something is known to have specific dangerous inhalation issues, however we smoked a whole bunch of toxins for years, so again, read up and if you are happy, continue on. Reading stuff: http://www.hse.gov.uk/foi/internalops/ocs/200-299/267_3v2.htm http://www.ecfia.eu/ http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2006-123/ http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/roc/content/profiles/ceramicfibers.pdf http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1128261/ So. Sounds pretty convincing to me, and I've personally as of 2 das ago sworn off my iClear 30S, and all Silica Wick atomizers. Hope this helps you make an informed decision. I believe vaping is AWESOME and I vape pretty much all day daily. However it is NOT necessarily "Good For You" or "Healthy" completely, and I understand that, and I also understand that in comparison to analog cigarettes, they are pale in comparison as to the damage they can do to my body. Please comment and share what you have about all this.......

Hello vapers........ So, Aspire is releasing a version 2 of their original (and still kinda new) Atlantis, allegedly amdist complaints galore about their silica-containing wicks, and the fact they are mainly nickel-plated, NOT stainless as advertised. This is all quite disheartening for me and makes me have less faith in Aspire. I love my Atantis, it's introduced me to sub-ohm vaping which I truly enjoy. However, I found out that not only is the wick NOT %100 cotton (contains silica wick, which is KNOWN to cause lung cancer/meso/etc when inhaled), the unit is not stainless steel much. So. Hopes are high but cautious for the Atlantis V2. I'm hoping we get %100 cotton wicks and a truly all stainless steel unit. It WILL be heavily scrutinized by the public after what's basically considered a lie was told to the public about the Atlantis. Also, the rumor is the V2 all-cotton coils will be usable (the 0.5 ohm version) on the Atlantis V1. Let's hope so. I invite anyone to chime in on the Atlantits, Atlantis V2, or comments about silica wicking here in this thread. All the best. Let's live to vape safely.

Thank you for your compliment, @gag8tor . Wanted to let everyone know, the release of the E-LVT MINI has been DELAYED because of feedback from their PRE-RELEASE MODEL, which I own. Apparently, they forgot to put a vent hole !!! Heh. So, we're not sure, but we've heard they're going to put a hole in the battery cover lid, which would make this model no longer IPX5 water-resistance. My idea would be to install a 'hidden vent hole' like we see on the E-LVT and E-LVT 2.0 . Still not sure where that hole is actually, and I've looked. Perhaps thru the cover as there are 2 circles which couldd possibly be 1-way air valves. Anyway, expect to wait a bit longer for your MINI to arrive in shops.... All the best. Keep vaping.

The new E-LVT Mini goes down to 0.2 ohms !! From 2-35 watts !! I'm loving mine, yours will be available soon ! For my review click ! All the best !

Hi there again, vapers. Got some more pics and more info about the E-LVT Mini. So I ran the thing down to it's limit on battery level, looks like it shuts off at 3.35 volts. A little low, but that's okay if I charge it up again real soon, which I normally do. The battery well is very thin, some 18650s will be too wide to fit. I've found 18mm-18.5 to fit where 18.7 won't. Disappointing as my favorite batteries are real close to 19mm. Sux. Anyway, this APV is operating wonderfully ! Here's some more pics, got some pics of the battery top and some more stock pics from the site. (shows firing pin top) (shows battery lid) (shows the 3 models of the E-LVT Mini) (shows pin top removed) So, I'm having great fun with this MINI, i've dropped it 5 feet onto linoleum over plywood, survived just fine ! I've also gotten it pretty wet. It's got a higher water-resistant rating than it's predecessor, the 2.0 . That's about it ... just wanted to share more pics and again say I'm thrilled with my MINI E-LVT !!!!

Hello again, fellow vapers ! Got a brand new product magically sent during the Chinese New Year Holiday ! Our vape store here got two E-LVT Mini's somehow before they're even available on the Net. Wow, this thing is great. I already own the E-LVT 2.0 its predecessor, and love it of course. However the Mini with its great hand fit and awesome function won me over. The only thing missing from it is the flashlight, he he. Kind of miss that. So. Here's a pic, I'm sure you've seen some pics on the net but here's a few: So, on with the review ! Gosh this thing is neat. Seems even more water resistant than the 2.0, having the buttons underneath solid silicone this time. Adjustable pin housing, fixed pin inside. I like the look of the gray one but I could only get blue, which is oddly missing from most internet pics of the e-lvt mini. Goes from 1.0-9.5 volts, and 2.0-35.0 watts. My model is counter-intuitive, with the wattage gain button on the bottom of the screen, lowering on top. Wonder if I got a pre-screened model or if they're all like that. Fires my iClear 30S and my Aspire Atlantis really well, tanks never warms up like my other mods, including the E-LVT 2.0. It's got an easily opened battery well, no more finding a screwdriver to change the battery. I prefer to remove the 18650 battery and charge it with my own charger, but the Mini also comes with a way to charge the battery internally. I would imagine this would be a bit slow of a charge. However, removing the battery is a breeze compared with the 1.0 / 2.0 . Simply spin the dial. I'll get more pics up tomorrow when it's light out. SO let's see what else, it has an overheat protection module, When the temperature of the chip reaches 95 C / 203 F the device will stop working and display 'high temp'. Wow, 203 F. And like I said, with extreme heavy vaping there's no heating of the unit or tank. It's resistance range is 0.2-3.0 ohms. Max Output Current is 14 amps. It measures 99mm x 31mm x 39.5mm. Madee out of zinc alloy and silica gel. Also, it's got all the normal APV goodies like short circuit protection, low voltage protection, battery reversal protection. Oh, and see yes I see now what I suspected was true, the enclosed charger is only 600 mAh which will take 3-5 hours to charge. Withoutt vaping, if the battery (18650) goes below 3.2 volts it wont fire. During vaping, if the battery drops below 2.8 volts, it will cease and show 'protection' in the oLED screen. This is important for people who use inadequate batteries, heh. Also the Mini shuts off once it goes over 15 amps output. Yes, you MUST USE A BATTERY THAT CAN REACH OVER 10 AMPERES CONTINUOUS DISCHARGE CURRENT with this device. Check your batteries thoroughly. I can recommend the ones I've found to be the best, just message me. They're 30AMP Hi drain with a C rating of 14.2 , made in japan, pretty hard to beat. That's better than a sony vtc5 by the way, heh. Anyway while that last statement may be debatable, the MINI certainly is not, Its a great unit, I got mine out the door from a local shop for $80. Unlike the 1.0 and 2.0 you cannot vape while charging, as the charger goes into the firing pin. Again, I recommend a Nitecore Charger and that way you're never out of vape power if you have two batteries. One in the vape, and one charging. Battery life seems same or better than the 2.0, but of course it depends on the wattage you're using ! Screen shows battery level, ohm resistance, watts, and volts. Shows puff time when firing button is released. Really easy to read, very clear oLED screen. So........ get yourself an E-LVT MINI, they're great in the hand and on the go ! HAPPY VAPING EVERYONE !!

Forgot to add your quote to my answer.... can't do it in edit. Just wanted to alert you to my reply. Admin/Moderators: Please join the quote into my orginal reply and delete this post. Thanks ! By the way, I had a problem with a sticky Nautilus spring which ruined my 26650 VAMO's firing pin. So it is now "retired" ......

@vaping_jake : You can't use a Kanger sub tank on this mod, because the Kanger sub tank, like the name implies, is a sub-ohm system, and the 26650 VAMO can not go below 1.3 ohms. Do not try !! Your vamo e-huge is protected against low ohm situations so it should be alright, but, do NOT get this mod if you intend to use sub-ohm atomizers. By the way you should also know that using an 0.5 coil will double the nicotine strength of your e-liquid. All the best !

Well, sure. Fasttech even admits to selling clones/copies/knockoffs .... they only list a couple 'authentic' vamo's on their site... but you see I didn't get my vamo v6 from Fasttech, I got it from a real life shop. So either the shop got a knockoff, or, vamo made a mistake. Either way, my vamo v6 (with the Christ inlaid design) is too dangerous to use. Check the battery compartment for lips and sharp edges. That's all.

Hey. y'all. Got an Aspire Atlantis recently, does me good at 30 watts. So my E-LVT 2.0 does really well as it goes down to 0.1 ohms ! The ELV-T 2.0 by Dovpo is a box mod which is built like a tank. Waterproof, shock proof, and crush proof. I've seen a few forum posters drive over theirs with no damage to the unit. Also comes with built-in led flashlight which I've actually found quite handy. Has the option to charge battery in the unit or in your intelligent charger. Takes one 18650 battery. Posted some pics in the gallery of it to see all the images. Here's one for the post: Happy vaping to all of you !

Yep....... 1 month and 2 tanks later, I always go back to the iClear 30S. I've got other tanks, like ProTank 3, and even an Aspire Atlantis... but I always find myself going back to the iClear 30S ! Great to see the action on this thread !

Uh oh..... PROBLEM. Yes, I've discovered a MAJOR problem with my Vamo V6.... Where the battery well meets with the 'brains' of the mod, internally, there is a lip with a raised edge. This edge comes up in one spot and that causes the v6 to CUT into the 18650 battery, removing the protective skin, potentially causing a SHORT.... This could be verrrry dangerous.....talkin' battery explosion... so watch out for that. Personally, I don't use mine anymore in the interest of safety.

Well guys, I had exactly the same thoughts as most of you, I didn't like the iClear 30, I used to swear by glass tanks, bottom coil, etc etc. However , as someone who preferred all that , I'm quite impressed with the 30s. I guess my main question here is, if anyone knows of any glass/pyrex tanks using this type of coil. I feel it performs great. I thought it was bottom dual coil, but, ok, it would be easy enough to turn it around and make it a bottom, as there are no dangling threads or any of that. So, anyone know a tank using these coils ?

Hello fellow vapers ! Well should I review such an easily available and cheap clearo as the iClear 30s ? Granted, it has a polycarbonate tank, OK, I like the idea of glass better. However the COIL system in this thing is what impresses me the most, and I'm looking forward to more companies using these. If you know of any other tanks using this coil system, please let me know, especially if they are glass tanks. OK so what can I say other than great vapor, great hits, long-lasting coil, ease of use ? All of the above. Here's a pic of it. iClear 30s I love the coils it uses. Basically it's like the iClear or vivi nova type coils with 2 or 3 cotton threads hanging down.. but these are encased in a metal sleeve with flow holes and inner breathing tube. Here's a pic of the coil. iClear 30s coil Has anyone seen this type of coil used in other atomizers/clearomizer/tanks ? Please let me know (in this thread). So basically, excellent performance for a reasonably priced device. Highly recommended ! Comes with 2.1 ohm coils. Holds 3.5 ml. Coils last for weeks. Stay vaped.

Well, here's the update after a month I promised y'all..... The verdict is...... Great tank, but a bit fragile. I have NO idea why dropping it once broke it, there are NO missing parts, bent parts, anything. I can't find a thing wrong with it, the main body of this tank IS the coil, which I of course replaced. Sooooo if you get one just don't drop it, ha ha I'm using the iClear 30s for now...it's a PC tank but it works well, better than my nautilus. All the best !

Hi fellow vapers ! Didn't see a thread for the new Vamo V6, so here it is. I got this vv/vw version of the mod recently, and am pretty darn happy with it. First the specs. Depth 22 mm Height 140 mm Width 22 mm Product Weight 120 g Not much thicker than the 18650 battery it takes. About as tall as two 18650s or so. My version has both variable voltage and wattage, though I've seen 4 different versions online. My version is 3-20 watts, 3-6 volts. Volts in 0.1 increments, Watts in 0.5 increments. Here's a pic. Yes, that's Jesus inlaid in the stainless steel there. There are other mods with different designs as well. So, it's got 3 differnet display settings, which are viewed when the ignition button is pressed. There is a choice between current, votlage, and resistance. They will respectively show the amperage your battery is putting out, the voltage that was set, or the ohms of the coil. Alongside of this info is a battery gauge. It also features the Vamo signature Mobile IN/OUT feature, so you can use the USB converter or a 510 flashlight, or anything that requires the device to stay on. Battery voltage display and ohm display viewed seperately as well. i like Vamo's menu design. However it does not stay lit 2-3 seconds after firing, so, the only way to actually see the menu is to not use the device while firing it. One point against all Vamo devices is, there is no locking feature for the watt/volt up/down buttons while the device is on. You can always switch it off quickly but.... I'd like an upper button lock as well, which is common with most other devices. Other than that, I can say it puts out heavy and nice, the battery life is great (I have a 3400 mAh panasonic in it), and it's lightweight. Also very thin, easy to hold. A nice device overall. I'm pretty happy with it so far. As with all devices, the true test comes months down the line when you see if it still works or not, hehe. So that's my v6 review. Oh, also, unlike other Vamo's, this v6 does not appear to have an RMS/MEAN power setting, it is fixed on RMS I believe. So I'd appreciate any other comments or thoughts about the v6 people have ! I paid $50 out the door for it from a local shop. Full retail was $55. Happy vaping !

Hey igotit and all vapers, Well, igotit, if you're out there and you need a coil that LASTS, well, I've found the iClear 30s to use a special coil system to where each coil lasts 4 weeks plus. That's better than any coil I've ever used before. It's like the old iClear wicks but encased in a metal sleeve with holes..... dual bottom coil. Great vapor, clouds, taste. I just wish it was a glass tank. But for your needs, at least it would mean no breaking and replacing glass. The coils are 2.1 ohms. On the iClear 30s (new), I'm using 3.7 volts on a vamo v6. That's around 8.5 watts or so I guess. No burn, great taste. So that's MY 2 cents ! Good luck everyone. Oh , and I'm currently waiting on the mail to deliver my E-LVT 2.0 this week, I got the 2.0 bcuz it DOES go sub-ohm, and I'd like to try both the new Nautilus Atlantis I think ? The new one, 0.5 coils I believe. Also looking forward to firing some customized dual coils that are 0.9 ohms. Also, as a note to everyone wondering about voltage/wattage for your atomizers, generally they set them to work around 3.7 volts or so, which is about 8.5 watts ....as this is about where mechanical mods sit, with some wiggle room. So I suggest you all try that at first, if it doesnt give a satisfying hit, slowly raise the wattage/voltage. If it's too hot, or a burnt taste, lower the wattage/voltage slowly. You'll dial in what you like. Every atomizer and ignition device are different. You'll have to experiment with your personal setup to see what you personally like. No one can tell you exactly where to set it. Keep vaping everyone, and, if you appreciate the freedom to vape, get involved, with something like casaa or something. It's going to take all of us standing up for ouir rights to preserve our vaping freedom. Keep vaping !

Well. When we say not %100 we mean VERY small quantities of PG, just tehcnically not able to say "%100" because the flavorings and even the nicotine itself has a minute amount of PG in it. That said, Virgin Vapor has gone thru painful steps to assure that people who are allergic to PG can safely vape their %100 VG liquids. Oh and hey don't regret starting the thread, it's a great discussion ! I personally don't like the throat hit PG gives me, but maybe some people get that from analog tobacco and therefore want it in their liquid. The other issue that seems to be escaping people is, it's a matter of expense. If you use NO PG, you WILL use more flavoring concentrate to get the desired flavor than if you were to use PG. That's all. It's not a difficulty other than spending more for your precious liquid. Same goes for the companies. On a side note, I've found that Virgin Vapor's %100 VG Blueberry will NOT vape in some atomizers. I'd really like to know why it doesn't. Tried em all with my local supply of liquid, and they vaped it just fine. So, if anyone has some input as to why a Virgin Vapor %100 VG wouldn't vape in some atomizers/clearomizers, I'd appreciate it. All the best, and happy vaping !

Yes actually it's quite different, and it only takes 8-10 days, and, they have a 45-day replacement policy with shipping included. So I had to comment on behalf of Fasttech, who I do business with regularly, and have had no problems with them, and I can say a friend recently got excellent support by contacting them so...... no, FastTech is NOT like most online vape/etc chinese distributors. Worldiwide free shipping too.

Hey vapers. Here's another article, about how VAPE is the 'Word Of The Year' ... CLICK HERE for the article !

Hey vapers ! I forgot another function of the 26650 VAMO / E-Huge in my review ! That is, if you hold down the right button 10+ secs the mod goes into POWER OUT mode for things like the included 510-to-USB adapter, for charging cell phones or any USB-powered device. I also found a 510 flashlight that screws into the VAMO. Pretty cool actually, bright LED. So there you go folks, would've edited the above post if I could have. All the best.

Hello fellow vapers. Not much to discuss about it, I suppose, but..... "Vape" and "Vaping" were just added to the Oxford Dictionary ! Click here to read the story. A little good news on this thread should be refreshing !

Hello fellow vapers. Here's my review of the 26650 VAMO aka The E-Huge. I wanted a device that could last all day and night with heavy vaping, primarily. I was also sick of throwing away Spinners and other pen batteries. So I found the E-huge. It's not THAT big, but I suppose at first one might be impressed. OK, so here are the features: VV 3.0-6.0v VW 7.0-15.0 (There is now a 7w-30w version available) Fires coils of 1.2-5 ohm Takes 1 26650 Li-Ion battery, some models come with an extension for two batteries to be held in one unit. Over voltage/ Under Voltage battery protection Shuts off power when battery reaches 3.2v Reverse Polarity Protection 10-second power button cycle The LED screen shows volts/watts/puff time with a battery life bar and the ohms of the coil displayed. Holding the left button down for 5 secs shows you battery voltage, 10 secs switches between RMS Power and MEAN power settings (see explanation ). Holding the right button down 10 secs shows ohms of coil, which is already displayed on main screen, so I dunno. The quality and machine work on this is real nice. "Gun-metal" finish is great. I like the fact that if I repress the power button before 10 secs has gone by, it resets the cycle with hardly any drop in power to the coil. I use my VAMO every day and night, all day and night. Some models come with a 4800mAh battery, which I recommend if yours doesn't. The battery extension comes wth some models, otherwise almost impossible to find it. Many people ask if it's safe to use two batteries in this, and it is. I love my 26650 VAMO. Fits in hand really well. Lasts over 24 hours of continous chronic vaping with no sleep. Tried this myself. The function is great, everything about it is great. People tell me it looks like a light saber or a spaceship screwdriver ! You can see a gallery of pics of my E-Huge on this site. Click here to see pics of my E-Huge. There's a pic of the E-huge with a MacTank on top at the bottom of the review. Get on of these ! You'll love it ! ©2014 DJColonelCorn.Com

---UPDATED REVIEW--- This is an addition to the review I posted on this thread. So OK. After entering my horrible review of the MacTank afixed to my 26650 Vamo Mod, I gave it another go this morning. Voila ! It's working pretty darn well ! The coils, I guess, need quite a bit of time to soak up the liquid before this tank performs the way it should. I'm used to 1.8 coils in my Nautilus, so using the 2.0s that are available for the MacTank took some extra voltage to satisfy. Runs good at 4.2 volts. So ! It looks good, (see pic), works pretty well ! I'd like a smaller airhole on it, so I'm going to try a generic airflow control head that should do the trick. I'll let y'all know about it. Is it the fact it's a new toy, or am I really liking this tank ? Turned up the volts a hair more to get a good bite. It's working great, and looking awesome. Stay tuned and I'll let y'all know how long the coils last and how well this performs over the next month or so... Happy Vaping !

Worst tank so far has GOT to be my new arrival, the MacTank made by Macigs. I got the tank for my 26650 VAMO Mod AKA The E-huge. It has a similar design style, with the ss pillars etc, and is very wide, as is my VAMO. Right out of the box, I noticed the coil replacement screw is a reverse thread located on the bottom. This could be nifty, except it means the tank will unscrew itself if tightened past hand-tight... perhaps an anti-overtightening device but doubt it. Then there's the inner tube, which normally is for air draw and a coil, but in the MacTank, the inner tube is made from the coil itself, and has many holes so the liquid just flows through. Haven't seen one using this design before, and now I know why. The hits are hot, moist, and gurgly. Terrible. It only runs at 3.7 volts, and only after a lot of coaxing. The gurgling is not repaired by any conventional method, I.E., blowing thru the tube, etc. I must say this is my biggest mistake in my vaping career, buying this tank. Well I bought it mainly for looks and that's what I got, just a looker. Doesn't work. In comparison, my Aspire Nautilus has served me quite well for over 6 months solid with no problems. Wonderfully cool dry hits with cloud. Love it, and I don't think I'll find better without jumping in price range a severe step. SO ! Warning ! Do NOT buy this tank ! You WILL be disappointed ! Heads up, vaportalkies !
