Hi, It's been a while since I've written a review and that's for a very good reason. I have been happily using the new V4L (Vapor 4 Life - v4l.com) ZEUS!! It's the size of the 3.5ml tanks, but looks like a sleek cigar. I got mine in all black. You can still buy what ever flavor juice you like and it lasts much longer than the tanks. I still refill it a couple times a day, but you don't need that much juice and it's still the flavors you like. I've been using it for a little while now and although they only give you 1 battery, you can recharge via USB when on the computer and plug in (and still use) while charging. The end doesn't have a jeweled color or anything fancy (that's where you use the plug it in to charge) but once you get over that - It's a pretty cool way of vaping!! I am very pleased with this and going back to the small little drip tip is not even tempting to me anymore. It does take a little getting used to but I am very happy with what I have now.
** One special NOTE: Once you fill with your liquid, you really do have to wait for the liquid to soak in. I put the plastic plug in the bottom and fill. Then I usually put it on the window sill to soak in. The instructions say for about three minutes and that is about right. Also, don't forget to clean the metal parts that go together. I use alcohol on a q-tip and just clean both pieces and then use the dry end to wipe off. I will clean them about 2-3 times per week, but you don't need to clean the "Smileomizer" if it is new.
Also, they run specials almost daily on their products and I think they are running a major specials on the ZEUS starter kit, since it is new. I would prefer to have an extra battery just for emergencies, but so far I haven't needed it. The extra battery is expensive so I haven't gotten one. It would probably be just as cost effective to buy another starter kit than just the battery. And I did buy the small because that was all they had at the time I bought my kit. Now they have the large, but that is the size of the "tank" portion only. If I bought a large it would be the size of the 6ml tank while the rest of the "cigar" is still small. But remember the small is still the width of a cigar not a cigarette. So once I got use to that I didn't even want the little cigarette style anymore.
Hope this information finds you healthy and happy and have even more fun Vaping!!
