Kragax Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 As I promised before I am giving an update on the Vypr. It has been close to 60 days now. I am loving this thing. It works very well and I have only had one issue that was my fault. The switch was acting a little sluggish, not always making full contact so it would fire but not at 100%. I noticed that the side of the unit was sticky so I wiped it down with some vodka and cleaned the area of the switch heavily. No prob, good as new. I have better luck with the red and black batteries than the blue ones, but that isnt the unit. Keep it clean and its a demon. I recommend. And they are good people to deal with as well.

stormchas3r Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Awesome Krag. I was thinking of getting a VYPR in the near future. I just love vaprlife's products. Especially since they are made in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Thanks for the review Kragax. The Vyper is a nice looking little unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stirfry Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) any VYPR users out there have a realistic estimate for battery life? i vape like i used to smoke... which is to say that i have a PV in my hand at all times unless i am actually doing something else that requires two hands. i kill a 10440 in about 1 hour. sometimes 2 hours if i am lucky.

Kragax Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 I get about 5 hours out of mine. As the batteries age, not so much. It's a great little unit, I want to try 5v next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 @stirfry - I don't have a Vypr, but the 10440 batteries never lasted more than 2 hours for me. I think 2 hours was pushing it for me. Now I stick to units with bigger batteries. I get about 8 hours out of my eGo (well, I did when they were newer...after 5 months it's more like 4 hours), about 10 to 12 hours out of the 14500 batteries I use in my Mark mod, and I get 18 or more hours out of the 18650 batteries I use in my Silver Bullet. I just learned that the 10440s didn't work for me at all. I need more battery life than they provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stirfry Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 another question: from the pics of the VYPR, and using the 510 atomiser as a unit of measurement, it loo like it's about a 1/2 inch shorter than the Spade, is that about right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragax Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 I don't know, Ive never seen a spade. But I love the Vypr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stirfry Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 have you tried the high drain batteries yet? or cartos? or LR atties? just curious. i really think i might be ordering a VYPR in a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragax Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 I use standard Joye 510 attys and cartos. I use the Trustfire 14500 900mah batteries. I have a stock of std. attys and never tried a LR atty because I don't want to find myself in the position that I can't go back to std and be happy with my ban stock.

Stirfry Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) that is pretty much my though process as well: to not even try the LR atties.. for fear of no being able to return to std atties. but i do think i am going to try the high-drain batts as i heard they "almost" make a regular atty seem like an LR. i am a dripper from day one, so i am really looking forward to trying the cartos and having a convenient was to not drip that doesn't suck (like the standard carts do). but first i must choose a new PV.
