The Mako

[buckowski]

Well, my new toy arrived today

I got the minno version, it's very comfortable to use, the button is lovely, hardly any pressure needed to activate it. And it's lockable, which is going to be really handy when out and about. More sleeves are available for it to enable higher voltage use, and bigger longer lasting batteries, which no doubt I'll be trying when my paypal balance stops grimacing back at me.

I do love the battery life and overall consistency of the Tornado, but the vape is not as nice as an SD at it's best, and the SD i had was plagued with inconsistencies.

So the Mako has produced on both counts, for this afternoon at least. Though of course it's still early days, but very happy so far.

[Chrissie]

So pleased to hear you are very happy with the Mako

IMHO a lockable button is a must on an e-cig mod & I'm also pleased to see that the Mako has at least one vent hole

Hehe, yeah am obsessed...

Well i did part fund this by selling off my SD1's. Kept the SD2 cos it has a 901 atty and has been hassle free so it'll be a good backup if owt goes pearshaped. Oh, and erm the tornado's for pub crawls

Good to hear your Birthday purchase is a success.

I also don't have a clue what a Mako is

I'm having a look at the mo....looks good, be very interested in how you feel about it in a week or 2 Bucko....and it's certainly cheaper than the GG...

Just an update on the Mako after a couple of weeks...

The Minno version I started with, well after a few days, i got a bit sick of charging the batteries, as I was only getting a couple of hours tops before they started tailing off. I suppose it could be used for a night out, probably scrape through, but i have the tornado for those occasions so not really much use for the Minno sleeve.

The lockable button i did have a problem with, but Tim, the seller from Smokejuice, has sorted that. He really is a top bloke, even phoned me with advice and couldn't have been more helpful. Great after sales service on this product for sure.

I now have the Midi sleeve, it's a little longer, and the battery life is so much better, now getting 6-8 hours peak performance.
It also has the option of HV using 2 batteries, which I'll be trying out soon as i get round to ordering some.

It's a lovely device to use, really comfortable in the hand, and the vape from it is fantastic and consistent.

I'm lucky to have some great E-cigs now, I love the tornado and the SD2, but the Mako is definitely my favourite. No more mods now. honest

yeah right

[Chrissie]

Lol Raggy

Bucko, if you do try out the 6v option, keep your atties nice & wet - otherwise you will fry them. Might be best to get some HV atties or stick to a single 3.7v battery & use LR atomisers (Says Chrissie who so far hasn't tried either HV or LR atties cos she's a cheapskate )

[buckowski]

Hehe Raggy, I think I'm going to prove you wrong just this time.

I've just had a new bathroom fitted and I'm just about skint, save for a bit of juice buying.

Yeah Chrissie, probably have no need for the HV option really as I'm sitting here right now vaping on my first LR atty on the Mako, and its bloody heaven.

[Chrissie]

Sounds like you have found the 5v sweet spot Bucko

Funny you should say that - while I was going thru the telly ordering process I was thinking (besides all about the rain forest stuff) "Well, Chrissie's bought all that GG gear AND a new PC"

scylla
