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?

BTW when you swap cells do it with the atty off. Put it all back together then screw on the atty last.

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.

Well FWIW found another Chinese e-cigger with some great prices and $6 standard shipping on $80 order. 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.

Thanks,JJ doesn't hurt to have to have another source if you've got some time.
Good prophets has those adaptors in stock.

goodprophets has something called a "510 batt to Ego Atty" adapter, there is no picture but this sounds like the same thing, right?
