So here we go. Please forgive the terrible images. My friend borrowed my camera so I had to use my phone.
Up first I guess everyone likes to show the packaging. I don’t care personally. But the Arcus does come in a pretty nice little package.
The inside is nice as well. All of the extra goodies are in the box on the left, with the fully assembled device on the right. That is the case, unless you open the box upside down. This also comes with a warranty card and a very nice owner’s manual that will teach you numerous languages if you have some spare time.
Inside the goodie box is a micro USB charging cable and a baggie with various colored o-rings and a Stainless Steel drip tip. There is also a spare coil inside the box.
Now for the good part. When I first removed the device from the box I was really surprised how small it was. Dare I say cute? The build quality is very nice. It is a slick looking design that I really like. I hope some day they make a big brother that houses an 18650 or two with temp control. Because VapeOnly seem to know how to build a very nice looking device. Everything was spotless. No burrs or scratches anywhere.
To give you a better size comparison than my big front paw, check this pic with the device next to a pair of badass 3000 mAh 18650’s.
How about next to a pencil? Ain’t it just the cutest little thing? Wait a minute! It’s gone and made me act all funny dammit! But seriously, It really is a cool looking little vape.
Here is the tank disassembled and all the extras in the goodie bag. The glass pieces were a real pain to seperate from their stainless counterparts moreso than any I have ever encountered.
The installed coil is a 1.0 ohm coil. It simply slides into the bottom of the chimney in the tank. Removing it isn’t so simple though. The bore this slides into could be opened up .005" or so to allow this to be removed a little easier. The o-rings make it a very snug fit.
I placed this device on charge via my PC at work using a USB cable I already had. I think it must have been pretty close to fully charged when I got it because it only charged for a few minutes. The LED in the fire button glows red while charging. When complete the LED turns off. When you press the fire button it glows white. I could see the point of this if the LED were bright enough to light your thumb up. How cool would that be?! But as it is you never see this light with your thimb on the button.
I sat at work with my Tugboat DNA 200 mod with my Alliance V2 RDA atop it… and this little guy. The baddest mod/tank combo on the planet (my opinion of course) vs the mighty tiny Arcus. I put the same juice in the Arcus that I had in my RDA. The Arcuse is definitely a mouth to lung device. But I still did my best to draw straight to lung. After about a 5 second draw and my cheeks imploding I exhaled a very surprising cloud.
The flavor reminds me of the flavor I got from my first tank, which was the Nautilus Mini. It was pretty good, but if I were mixing juice to use in this I would up my flavor percentages by few percent or so and mix at 6mg to 10mg nic.
So I handed the device to a co-worker I tried to choke to death with my Alliance/DNA 200 combo a few days prior. He was hesitant of course, but I managed to talk him into trying it out. He still smokes and is considering vaping so this may be the perfect device for him. After trying the device he excitedly said he wants one. Cha-Ching! New juice customer
The battery life seems to be very good. I didn’t have to put it on charge from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning. But I wasn’t vaping this device only. It seemed to last through an entire tank of juice though almost to the minute. Charge time is very quick. I put it on my usb power pack and it was done before I could fix lunch.
To finish this novel, I will say this device is definitely too weak for me. But for someone just starting out vaping, I bet this would be a great first transition from smoking the stinkies. Or for those that want a mouth to lung device this is an awesome little vape that you can take anywhere.
