| Sparkplug is an 801 tube mod using a single CR123A 3.7v battery.
I received a kit from sparkplugforsmokers.com the manufacturer,this morning.
The device is an internally threaded aluminum tube capped by a lightly sprung button(the switch ) for the negative end of the battery and a cap with 801 fitment for the positive end.
I like 801 devices and this kit is complete so that after a battery charge you don't have to go elsewhere to be up and running except for the high voltage heroes.(More later)
The kit includes the following:
1-sparkplug(tube,switch cap,atomiser cap)
2-cr123 3.7v batteries(unprotected)
1-battery charger for the short LiIon batteries
1-801 standard voltage atomiser
5-801 prefilled cartridges Marl 24mg
1-10ml bottle of juice(Random)
and(this is later)
1-long tube body for High Voltage use **Do not use the provided batteries as unprotected batteries should never be stacked**
There is a users manual for the spark plug and when used with long tube the model designation becomes: the Thermo. A thermo users guide is also provided.
All of the above for a measly $30 + reasonable S&H (I got 2 kits to my house for <$65)
I'm enjoying mine while reviewing and am very pleased. The bottom button is very easily activated which is important to me due to arthritis. Nevertheless; the sparkplug will stand upright on your table or desk without turning the atty on.
Lots of vapor:5*s
Great flavor: flavor is usually very good on 801s;5*s
Throat hit is medium:3+*s good enough for the girls I run with and typical for an 801. (madvapes carries 801 cartomisers) the store at sparkplug does carry 801>510 and 901 adapters.
Value: 5-Ka Chings If you don't think that is money well spent go to the mall.
Overall: 2 thumbs up(unlike some of you folks I only have two thumbs)
There are replacement parts available and the manufacturer is a member here and a pleasure to deal with.
Check it out.

| I got what they call metallic which is the bare aluminum(not polished so fingerprints should not be an issue) and gloss black which is I'm guessing is a clever use of heatshrink tubing. Still,it looks good.
I've ordered the appropriate 3v batteries and charger from mad vapes to use the long tube and test 6v vaping, I have a couple of 4.8Ω HV atomisers from valuevapor that I will use on HV in the interest of longevity.
I also ordered 801 cartomisers for use on 3.7v.
JJ will probably suggest that the included batteries are woefully short of the labelled 800mAh rating and he'd be right : my experience so far has them lasting less time than a 650eGo battery. Initial charging took 2.5 HRs.and recharge takes 1.5 HRs after ~5HRs of vaping. The discharge/recharge cycle is comfortable, but you cannot depend on making it through the day on a single battery.
The provided atomisers have some primer so should be blown out before use, then a couple puffs without inhaling seems to clear that up.
Further testing and updates follow, but after day one all is well.

| And which are those?
A pair of Tenergy Li-PO4s make for a safe and decent HV experience.
Folks should note that this PV's atty threads are just cut from aluminum so some real care is required. |

| I've ordered Li-Po4s(as recommended in the manufacturers pamphlet) And I'm using an anti-sieze compound on the atty cap threads.

| Rich,haven't gotten specific supplies to answer your questions. The things that you asked about are enroute. I'll follow up when I can answer your questions. Welcome to the forum,if I haven't greeted you before.
Haven't had any problems so far JohnnyJ, what can I expect in the way of problems?

| JJ, that does give a better touch on the button. Switch end put on later makes the activation inconsistant.

| Update: got some adaptors in today 801>510 and immediatley fired up a used 2.0 boge removed from another PV. Works great, every bit as good as any PV to which I've attached it.
I also got a couple of the new 510>eGo adaptor and checked out a standard resistance Tank atty this worked in the same fashion and equally in performance to other battery configurations.
This purchase continues to seem to be a good choice and updates will continue for a while as I use it.

It's a drag as they were out of the 510-> eGO adaters ($1.99) but lots of geat deals on products I use.
Grabbed some of these for the Sparkplug.. DSE801 LR (Low Resistance) ATOMIZER $4 - Heavy Vapor
Wish they had some Boges though.
I'll let everyone know how the transaction went. |

Good prophets has those adaptors in stock.
