I received story today from Cindy. It touched me enough that I wanted to share it with you as well. Cindy agreed to allow me to post it, and I thank her for that. This is why I would like the pipe to go to a good home.

Dear Phil,

Good morning. Just wanted to write after watching your review. I’m not entering the contest, but wanted to share a story with you. The one person (besides myself…for being a follower) who got me hopelessly hooked on smoking was my ex-husband. He smoked like a fiend so I did, too. When he was in his early 20’s he decided that smoking a pipe was cool and used it as well. He used to walk around with that thing constantly and bought several, adding to his collection until he had at least 10 different styles. When we divorced in 1986 he was still going strong.

At 44, in June of 2000, on his way to work one day, he suffered a massive heart attack and passed away. When I saw your review today I couldn’t help thinking, as you did, that if we had vaping then…it may very well have saved his life. If things had turned out differently and he was still alive, I would be submitting this as an entry to hopefully send to him (anonymously, of course) and get him off the analogs.

Thank you for all you do to help educate people. I know you’ve been instrumental in helping people to quite that nasty analog habit. Keep it up.

Cindy

Ok gang, here is the deal. I received one of these to review. I was contacted by the vendor because he felt there was an issue with the head unit. So I double checked and sure enough, it ain’t firing anywhere near where it should be. I set it to it’s max setting at 6V, I got the following readings under load:

1.25 Ohm – 3.13V
1.5 Ohm – 3.5V
2.0 Ohm – 4.03V
3.0 Ohm – 4.13V
4.0 Ohm – 4.23V

Numbers were Te Te Terrible! Is this happening with all the head units from all the vendors? Dunno.
But I do know this vendor was proactive enough to contact me, ask me to hold off on the review, and is sending all the units back until they can get the numbers where they should be.

Good thing he got to me before I created the review!!

By popular demand (and because I originally forgot), I added the VZ VV (AKA LAVATUBE) graphs to it’s respective review.

You know what this means! A new contest is coming soon! Thanks so much to everyone for the continued support, questions, comments, thank yous, and well wishes. They keep me going and validate what I do.

So recently I’ve noticed people have been signing up for my Twitter feed. You may have noticed you haven’t received a single Tweet from me, because… I DON’T TWEET!

The only reason I even have a Twitter account was to follow Howard Stern’s Tweets which I really don’t do much anymore.

But… since I have it, I figured I could utilize it. I’ve set up this site so that when I make updates, I can Tweet them out to you if you’re signed up to my feed.

If you’ve noticed, the Twitter social icon now appears between the mail and Facebook icons. So if you’d like to follow this site, feel free to sign up and you’ll be notified when I make changes, updates & additions.  Well, at least that’s the way it’s going to work in theory.   It’s all magic to me 🙂

“Is It Safe?” section added to the Knowledge Base!
Hundreds of new photos added to their respective reviews!
New reviews added for the V3 Vapors 808 Kit and Flavour Crafters!
“How to deal with Drew for 10 hours in the car on the way to Vapefest and Vapebash” section added (not really)!

NOTE: This is not an official “OVALE” product and should not be confused with the company www.OvaleUSA.com.

Although the device worked for me in the review, I gave the unit to a friend and it stopped working after a week. I have heard from another user of this as well. In both those cases, the ground wire came off the atty/carto connection. Finally, I’ve just been contacted by LJ.  They said ALL the units, but one have been returned. They have taken care of their customers and pulled the unit from the site. Stay Away!!
