Nikko's Review of the Revolver Elite Electronic Cigarette with PCC
This is Nikko's review of a brand-new electronic cigarette, the Revolver Elite. Covered are the contents of the package, the batteries, the atomizers, the cartridges, the PCC portable charging case, compatibility and performance of the product.
The music is by a band called Pagan's Mind.
The song in this video is "Osiris' Triumphant Return", track 11 from their 2007 release, "God's Equation", and it clocks in at 8 minutes and 45 seconds, unedited....
I had only heard OF the band a week prior to doing the video and now they're pretty much my favorite band!
Yes, I do
The blu is a completely different model which is not interchangeable with the Elite. I don't mind people asking about the blue LED because it allows me to spread the word about how much healthier ecigs are than tobacco cigarettes
Hey man, your video was very informative on the Elite. I've owned the elite since the first shipment came in and I love it. Thanks for posting a good vid! and by the way, what is the music playing on your video?
That was an awesome video. you really sell this thing, I can tell you really like it.
hey Nikko, good review bro. will that pcc work for a blu? have you compared the revolver against the blu? i really like the blu because it looks exactly like a real cig since i put a volcano battery on it. I didnt like everybody asking about it when i had the blue tip.
I do like Revolver's juices, pretty much all of the ones I've tried so far but at the time I did this review, they hadn't started carrying them. At this time, I'm definitely a fan
Most of the fruit-flavored juices are good, just don't produce as thick vapor as the tobacco flavors. For this vid I was using some 555, at 24mg that I got from RMV.
what kind of juice do you use and where do you order it or do u just use revolvers, i just ordered one.
i was thinking about getting one of these kits and your style of review kicked some serious ass all of them. i was about to order this one and they are all out. i e-mailed them and the government has been seizing what they are trying to restock. im going to wait for now but thanks man
@NikkoDaniels Lucky you! I really, REALLY wanted this product to work as advertised, especially after I watched your kick-ass review. I gave it a whole bunch of chances, tried everything I could think of to make the first two units I received work, learned how to do soft and hard resets, bought extra attys, batteries of all different colors, lots of flavors of carts and e-liquid, and when my last (third!) PCC literally exploded during charging, I gave up. 3 strikes and you're out, Revolver!
That's a total BUMMER, ateapotist67!!!
I hope the guys at Revolver are taking care of your situation.
They are very good at CS, from what I've seen so far.
The only thing about the content of this video that I would change if I had it to do over would be to update the charging time for the batteries. Now they take 30-50 minutes to charge after being drained. The first couple charges took 15 minutes, just like I said. Everything else about it is still correct to the best of my knowledge.
I have to disagree with your assessment that the product is a piece of crap. Mine still works just fine, produces good vapor, drains the carts... does what I need it to, for the most part. I do have one battery that takes a couple tries before it stays in the charging cycle but the other one seems to work correctly... and the charger I used in this video still works fine. Hell, I'm still using the very same atomizer I used in this vid. I've never been able to get a 401 to last that long.
As you said, "nothing sucks more than being out on the town with DEAD batteries and a DEAD case charger!" Well, in my experience, Revolver is 0 for 3. All three units they've sent me are now dead- I didn't bang them around, drop them, expose them to extreme temperatures or loud noises. I just carried them around in my jacket pocket the way anyone would carry a normal pack of cigarettes, and all of them eventually (sometimes in a few weeks, sometimes in just days or HOURS), stopped working.
Nice review, Nikko- it had a lot to do with convincing me to buy the Revolver Elite Duo starter kit, back in October. Too bad the product, itself, is a piece of crap. In the past 8 weeks I have had to replace the PCC twice, for a total of three units that have malfunctioned. All three of them stopped being able to either hold a charge or to charge the rechargeable e- cig batteries properly, and all 3 eventually went completely dead. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
Man, I want one!
The cartridges for the Revolver Elite and the cartridges for the 401 are exactly the same and are completely interchangeable. No difference whatsoever.
can you take the cartridge apart like you did with the 401 please?
I'm considering the revolver now when my 510 parts finally crap out.
Thanks dude. Appreciate your thoughts. I'll give it a shot.
man, you have real talent at reviews, make more vids, u are defenetly partner material xD
I'm pretty much exclusively using Fluval Water Fine Polishing Pads, bought a 6-pack for $4.99 at a pet store. That's more than enough for a year's worth of vaping, maybe a LOT longer.
Don't pack it too tightly and the carts drain real well. If it's cut correctly you won't even have to use any tools to get it in place.
do u use anything special for filler material, other than the polyfil?
Try using a good juice. I've never been a fan of the pre-filled carts that came with ANY of my ecigs. For this video I used some 24mg 555 juice I got from Rocky Mountain Vapor, my current favorite.
is there a secret for how u get so much vapor out of it? i get quite a bit, but not nearly as much as urs?
A year and four months ago I got a new job and I looked somewhat like a normal average guy. No one's getting a bigger kick out of the hair than my boss.... he told me, "No problem, let your freak fly!"..... LOL!
Back in the early 90's my hair was REALLY long.....
