XTAR stuff FTW. For a 4-slotter the VC4 is nice, though it doesn't use microUSB cables like the VC2/MC2/MC1/MC0 (so no ready spares).
Thanks for the guide. Personally I already felt something was off when the HG2s/browns practically flooded the market since last month (both expos got LG browns by the boatloads)... and then Abam Mooch from ECF posted his finding, which I reposted over here some time ago.

For me looking at the top insulator (glossy = fake, matte = ori) is enough 90% of the time, though apparently it's only a matter of time before counterfeiters get that right too.

I personally prefer Sammy 25R5s (or 30Qs, but I've yet to see anybody stocking those) to LG batts though, so it's less of an issue for me.

I normally buy HG2 from alexng for peace of mind. Xtar VC4 is good charger and i bought it from lelong around RM 90 including shipping, but the end connector ain't any standard micro USB like phone or MC2. I have both the 25R and 30Q and i have no complain on the battery since i normally fire below 70w using regulated mods. Doesn't matter due to my style of vaping.

I still use the sport cars battery (SOny VTC4, rated 30A continuous) for super low ohm [ 0.10Ω - 0.20Ω ] ... but not very often.

Have a link to the Xtar VC4 you bought?

What about Nitecore i4/d4? It's almost half the price of the Xtar VC4

Pick which is cheaper, so far there is no clone for VC4.

Nitecore i4 = without LCD screen
Nitecore D4 = XTAR VC4 (VC4 is better, but depends on you)

If you want to get Niteocre D4, searh in lelong or shopee. XTAR is cheaper in lelong.

Found this dude selling Xtar on LYN
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2970982&hl=

I see the Xtar VC4 or MC2 doesn't come with a wall adapter.

Do you plug yours into your laptop USB?

Just msged Vapor Hub.. they have the black for RM120. Hngghhh


QUOTE(Eiraku @ Jun 4 2016, 08:37 PM)
Good luck. Between the resurgence of my interest in vaping gear and my newfound love for Nerf modding, I'm already flat broke. Hopefully 1 year bonus this year for Raya or aidailor.

Thankfully the 'Cado is good enough for me (YMMV) I can stop looking for new gears for a while and enjoy what I have lol.

Though that Aromanizer does look pretty nice.

I myself enjoy a warm flavorsome vape, you reckon the Avo'24 will achieve that running in single Claptons?

Eiraku did you get the black or SS Avo 24?

I bought my last night, the black one.

There's no silicone seal beneath the top fill and the glasses that came with it, both are clear. I thought one would be clear one would be frosted ? Hmm..

My first wick job is horrible, leaking like an open tap


Also:
I checked the authenticity of my geek vape product, but it said "the security code has been checked 1 time on Geekvape website.

Is that a normal notification?
I asked the vendor about it and he said he used the security code to check the authenticity first in case of clone.

Vapor Hub bro.

I msged their facebook, they said all their Avocado 24 has only clear tanks.

And he said all the black Avocado 24 he has don't have silicon seals.
Find it weird why there's no silicon seal beneath the top fill.

Look at the fill ports of those black avocado 24's...there's a silicone seal present. No wonder your tank is leaking...u need a seal there no matter if it's stainless steel or black.

QUOTE(nekkidgramma @ Jun 5 2016, 05:41 PM)
Huh. Sounds fishy. That sounds like an extremely shoddy clone right there. An authentic Avocado 24 have both the clear and frosted glass section. They might be reputable and whatnot but who said they're immune to a fault. Maybe its their supplier that's ripping them off but either way, you should get a full refund.
*
Mm, I agree.
The guy monitoring Vapor Hub's FB page is saying that the frosted glass and clear glass is Geekvape's problem. "They produce different kit for their stock" "Griffin has the same kind of problems too" "Geekvape product not consistent"

What I don't understand is the silicon seal part, I believe every Avocado 24 should have it.

Very weird in regards with the authentication bit. But before we go on, I'm actually running the Baby 'Cado, not the 24. So yeah, I don't even have a filling port lol.

Back to authentication. Looking at the FT 'Cado, and review units, I saw that they had the green "Avocado" tank rings installed and not the black ones (as on mine). Got a bit concerned and went straight back to the box for the codes, and straightaway got the "congratulations, your product is authentic" thing - none of that "your code have been checked" crap.

My theory is its open boxed and used. I'm giving the folks at VH the benefit of the doubt, it might be authentic but it might also be a return (because of the seals missing - GV does have their moments).

Or like, nekkidgramma said, it might be their supplier ripping them off pun. We don't know.

That said, the missing glass is really dodgy. As much as GV can be variable, they are also quite generous as far as manufacturers go: I have two of them ceramic blocks and silicone plugs, when Youde only gives you one with the GMv2. I can't see how the 'Cado 24 can come with single glass when even the Baby comes with two.

Check out the FT pics for the 24: Clearly two tanks and silicone on the filling ports for the blacks.

Hopefully you got that awesome orange tool thing though (us Baby folks only got a shitty Allen key).
*
I see, always thought you had the 'Cado 24.

Weird thing is, the 'Scratch and Check' part was untouched. How in the world did they (VH) get the code to check if it's authentic from their vendors? Dodgy dodgy.

Hm, they gave me two glasses. I was under the impression where I'd get a clear and a frosted glass. In my case, I got two clear ones.
If that is the way GV has been running their manufacturing standards, I'd rather get a clone. That shouldn't be the way to run a company, customer's expectations should be controlled and met. Me, as a consumer, would like to get a product and see all the parts there as advertised. /rant

Yeah I received the orange tool, pretty handy yo.

VH stopped replying once I asked for a refund bruce.gif

You're supposed to get one clear and one frosted Bro (at least thats how it is for my BabyC and how the 24 pics on FT show the package). It's sounding more and more like a return... or an unfortunate lemon.

VH agreed to exchange for a new one.
Out of stock atm, he'll contact me once more avos arrive

Just want to warn you guys out there about Vapor Hub. I've seen people recommending this place and i myself have been a loyal customer especially when wanting to buying tanks.

I've heard stories about them selling clones and passing it off as authentic but brushed it off until i was a victim recently. They sold me the Avocado 24 Geekvape RDTA and assured me it was authentic. As soon as i got home and opened the tank, i realized it was a fake. Bad workman ship, package did not include frosted glass(only 2 clear glasses), insulator around the build post torn, eliquid fill hole cover so hard to remove(by right can be remove easily with your finger nails) and many other signs. I bought an authentic one from a vape shop at Kota Damansara the same night and am so happy with it.

Tried going back to get a refund and they did not want to give me a refund. After about 1 hour of back and forth, finally allowed me to change for e-liquid equivalent to the same price.

I will stay clear of this shop right now and suggest you guys do the same as well. Dishonest business like these deserve the hammer!

Same thing happened to me bro, bought mine at the Sunway branch. Going back there tonight to change for a new set, gonna make sure it's not a clone

Went back to Vapor Hub Sunway to switch my Avocado 24 for a new set.
Opened up the new set, tried swinging the top fill open. What do you know? Bloody thing is stuck shut dry.gif

And they still insists it's authentic. The balls on them man.

Asked for a refund, rejected straight away.
I settled with a Wotofo Serpent Mini and topped up another RM30 for a Nitecore i4. Made absolute sure it was authentic before I left.

Staying away from Vapor Hub from now on.

Makes me wonder whether my IPV D3 is a clone.

take out the battery. Hold down the fire button and put the battery back. If it shows SX 150H your good to go

Oooh, didn't know about that function. SX 150H v6.1 yo. Thanks biggrin.gif

You gotta make sure that i4 is authentic as well lol. Can't be too careful these days  sweat.gif

Hahahah I did, my phone was out comparing images of fakes and originals and searching up the security code and whatnot.



Sadly I won't be buying the Avocado 24 for a while now. Tight budget.

On the bright side, the Serpent Mini is surprisingly solid! Incredibly easy to build and wick.
I had the Goblin Mini and it leaked like a bitch, but the Serpent, dry as a popcorn fart.
And the flavor, not as good as my Velocity.. For an RTA tho, the flavor is top

Good for those who are on the go a lot and just wanted a portable vape thumbup.gif

No because i was afraid they might tell me that i cant exchange or refund if i scratched that off. However markypcs did and when he checked it, the website stated that his code has already been checked once. So as you can see that code can be manipulated and its mostly useless. You can easily see the difference between the fake and the real.

For the authentic one i bought later that night, until now i didn't even bother to scratch as well because the difference is so huge that i am 100% sure that the kota damansara vape shop sold me an authentic one biggrin.gif

EDIT: Just found an auction the the Avocado 24 Clone so called 1:1 on VAMO. Link is https://www.facebook.com/groups/89430348071...944700752343165
As you can see his main picture which is probably from the supplier that supplies the clones, the tank comes fitted with clear glass. 1:1 it seems lol..

Woah didn't know that auction group existed.
