    Default S&S DefCon Rebuildable Atty

    REVIEW OF THE DEFCON

    I received my DefCon yesterday and wanted to post an honest review of the product.
    I tested this on the following devices (see pics above)
    Provari Mini
    Bogger Box
    TOX Cannon (LT)
    HEX mini

    1) Ease of use - I discovered that filling the DefCon was as easy as unscrew the top cap, syringe down where the wick is you know you are in the tank and fill. Up and running in under a minute.

    2) Production - the DefCon fires on all 3.7v devices at 4 wraps with 32g kanthal. And produces as much vapor as my Genesis LV (the juice is a factor 50/50 PG/VG mint blend). If you have a good wicking juice the DefCon will produce clouds.

    3)Range - Provari / VV users, I was able to fire the DefCon without issues with a 4,5,7 wrap as low as 3.5v up to 5.5v. The provari will 'E1' however if the DefCon is fit to tightly onto the device. Do NOT overtighten the DefCon onto your device. From what I can tell, if the bottom of the DefCon touches the top cap of the provari drip well it creates a short and the provari will 'E1'. Native 3.7v devices, no worries it works, and works well.

    What I like:
    It holds a lot of juice in a small form factor.
    The Defcon is not as large as it may appear in pics, it is also slender and lightweight so you dont feel top heavy on your device.
    Easy to wrap a coil
    Easy to fill
    The DefCon did NOT leak
    The DefCon did NOT create a vacuum inside the tank to prevent wicking

    What are possible improvements?
    510 drip tip is a little loose, maybe tighten the hole for a more snug fit
    Threads for the top cap grind a bit (fixed with noalox)
    Would like to see the top cap rounded more, only for asthetics

    Summary:
    SS mesh does wick well, but you may have to do a tilt to 2 or 3 o'clock to keep the wicking process in motion (gravity always rules)
    Do not overtighten on a provari or any VV device that may "think" there is a short if the bottom of the DefCon comes in contact with the top cap
    Juice will always be a factor for a good or bad vaping experience
    to Chopper on designing an affordable and easy to use rebuildable product.

    Star rating? I am going to go 4 stars, it is functional, it is easy, it holds a lot of juice.

    GREAT JOB CHOPPER!!!! CONGRATS

    I can be a tester...I'm really good at testing food and ejuice. Ok well I'm gonna take your word for it...this time. But understand this, I'm watching you mister. You can see where my suspicion arose after the comment about keeping the last one yesterdsy, and then now we have a fellow telling us hes got his and reviewing it.
    So I think you need to hire me to do all the posting so you can focus on getting some work done. I am very good with people, as my previous few posts demonstrate clearly, I am a non-smoker, and I only require a few creature comforts. First off your going to have move your entire operation to FL. Once you arrive we can work out the particulars.
    Ok enough senseless banter, back to work, We are waiting you know.

    I received my DC Mini and it does perform well, I'm using it with a Twist at 4.6 and the atty reads 3.0, the flavor is spot on with this. I've went thru 8 refills and no dry hits. I haven't noticed having to tip it to keep the atty wet. I use 24 nic juice and will have to lower the nic level because it rocks on TH.

    The Customer Support is over the Top

    I'm awaiting my DC Atom...

    Thanks Chopper
