It seems like I always enjoy checking new things out from Vapor4Life. They always have had a high quality product, really good support and stellar communication, which is SO important for an online business. All that being said, I really wasn’t sure what to expect with this one. When I first started vaping I did a review on a regular old eGo twist and, while I was initially happy with these, I soon became disenchanted because I was constantly changing my settings on accident and it was very difficult to actually see what voltage you were at. Combine that with the possible problems of having an automatic switch and you can understand my hesitation.

I am SO happy to report that all my worries were completely unfounded, and, honestly, I probably should have known that V4L would never send me a stinky product in the first place!

What I received was an 1100 mAh Automatic Dial-A-Volt E-Cig battery. This is an approximately 4.5″ long by 1/2″ wide black rubberized coated battery with an 808D connector on one end (compatible with all the V4l cartos and tanks and goodies) and a voltage selector dial on the other end. The voltage here can range from 3.2 to 4.8 volts on the fly with a simple twist of the bottom dial. What makes the voltage selector so wonderful compared to other similar devices is it not only is stiff enough to hold its setting when being pocketed, but the dial is knurled/grippy and the voltages are CLEARLY marked, even for crappy diabetic eyes like mine.

I was a little worried about the automatic function as well, for a couple reasons. Firstly, I have had auto switches (from other vendors) that tended to stick on, which is never a good thing, and secondly, the size of this device sort of lends itself to using it with things other than cartomizers. Auto switch devices traditionally don’t do well with tanks or anything that might drip juice into the works. The automatic switch here suffers none of those issues. It has worked flawlessly for me day in and out and I am a heavy vaper. Aside from testing a couple cartomizers on the DAV I used it almost the entire time with a small tank and that worked fantastic as well! I think the reason the tank works so well with this auto switch, other than V4L’s obvious quality testing, is that the 808D is a really robust and smart connector choice that doesn’t lend itself easily to clogging, etc..

1100 mAh or MilliAmp Hours means that this battery should last you a good long time. I have seen people report that it lasts approximately 14 hours of vape time. I, personally, used it all day per charge and then just threw it on a charger at night before bed. It is definitely worth noting that this battery takes a LONG time to charge. In fact, when it was brand new it took a few complete charging cycles before it seemed to take a complete charge. That may sound a bit odd, but if your battery doesn’t look like it charges completely over night, let it cycle through a couple times and it should after that. Worked for me 🙂

Practical usage? Well, lets just say I have a couple vaping devices to choose from and since I started using this, it has seldom left my hand, or pocket as the case may be. As you can see from my pics, I ran this thing from the moment I got my morning coffee all day long, even through my hour long commutes. It never skipped a beat. It is comfortable to hold and carry in your shirt pocket. It works all day without a recharge, carto after carto and tank after tank. Lastly, I think it looks pretty spiffy, especially with a smaller size tank, although it’s not at all bad looking with a cartomizer + drip tip (although I think it’s odd looking without the drip tip).

This one is definitely a keeper, folks. On sale right now for $58 exclusively at Vapor4Life, you can put one in your own pocket and vape all day long in comfort and style, and at whatever voltage your juice/carto/tank works best at, just like me! 🙂
