Hi ECF members, In this review i take a look at the Pico COMPAQ 60W 18650 Kit from Eleaf. The Eleaf Pico COMPAQ 60W 18650 Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ella from Sourcemore.

Eleaf Pico Compaq Kit 60W 3.8ml Pod Mod Kit single 18650 battery



Introduction

Eleaf as one of the Jwei trio is one of the vaping industries oldest manufacturers and have continually brought us good quality budget devices following whatever the current market trend may be.

The Pico Compaq AIO device is an AIO device with a design inspired by Eleaf's most successful and loved device the Pico. The Pico has been released in various variants with both 18650 and 21700 versions and with the Pico Squeeze even a BF option. The Compaq of course has the trademark top battery cap but with a square form which has a spring loaded bayonet fitting. The device is a simple wattage only device which comes with a dust cover which can stay attached via a chain. Coming in six colour/design options let's check the latest Pico out!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics

The Pico Compaq comes in cardboard box packaging with outer cardboard Sleeve. On opening the box i was pleasantly surprised as the device is very well made and both looks much nicer and is far more ergonomic than it looks in any photos i have seen. I received the Dazzling Marble option which has a metallic finish with Gold, Blue and Red in it's design which glistens as it catches the light. The options are Gradient Purple, Gradient Grey, Carbon Silver, Gold Ripple, Carbon Black and Dazzling Marble.

The sides are curved which really helps to give a nice ergonomic feel in the hand and the face has an open slot for airflow top followed by a square light switch style fire button. We then have a small elongated screen central followed by a horizontally positioned navigational rocker and finally a Type C USB port at the bottom.

Looking down from above with the dust cap not attached we can see the protruding loop to one side then at the front the mouthpiece of the pod that protrudes out of the pod bay. To the rear of the top we have the square battery cap and then looking at the base, branding, safety marks and venting holes!

___________________________________________________________________



The Dust Cover

One of the features of the Pico Compaq is the dust cover that can stay attached to the device when removed via a chain which has a clasp that hooks through a loop on the side of the device. I get the thought process especially in these times when we need to more micro manage hygiene and it's far from the first device that has a dust cover included but including a chain so it can hook on the device is something i haven't seen before and i hate it!

As soon as i had took the photos for the review it went straight in the garbage as i just don't want a dust cover annoyingly swinging on a chain when i vape and the all routine of constantly removing it to vape would drive me insane, i admire anyone who can tolerate it more than a few hours.

This does leave a generous sized loop protruding annoyingly from the device which i suppose does allow the lanyard wearing vapers to fit a lanyard and wear it around their necks but then other than in influencer photo's has anyone ever actually seen anybody using a device like this with a lanyard? I know i haven't, ever!



___________________________________________________________________



The Pod

The pod is one moulding including an incorporated drip tip so you can't fit an alternative, underneath the mouth section of the pod we have a ridge before the main pod body which can be used to get a grip when removing the pod from the device. The pod is clear so it gives perfect visibility of the juice inside but unfortunately we have no viewing window on the device and apart from the mouthpiece section the rest of the pod gets inserted into the device.





On the rear of the pod we have a Light Green Silicone flap with fill port plug which stays attached when lifted. The fill port compared to most pods is huge so it can be filled quickly while also letting the air escape, the standard pod holds 3.8ml and of course the TPD pod 2ml.

Looking at the base we have a round central opening for the coil head to be press fitted into place and either side elongated magnets.



___________________________________________________________________



The Coil Head

You receive 2 of the same coil heads in fact as far as i am aware it's the only coil head available which is a big con. It's the new GTL Mesh Coil Head with a resistance of 0.4ohm, Kanthal and rated between 20w to 30w.





The coil head has quite a wide inner bore for a 0.4ohm coil head and also very large wicking holes, as mentioned it just gets press fitted into place.



___________________________________________________________________



Fitting The Pod

Looking inside the pod bay we can see the Gold plated, spring loaded contacts central with silicone surround and to each side an elongated magnet to match the ones on the pod, finally we can see the slanted front airflow slot. The magnets are strong but there is a ridge on the pod to get hold of to pull free, also it can be wiggled about slightly but when in normal use there is no movement!



___________________________________________________________________



The Airflow

The Pico Compaq doesn't have adjustable airflow which is a big let down, what it does have is a large open slanted slot at the top of the device which directs air (and plenty of it) down to the base of the coil which then will enter through the coil heads inlets and up through the inner bore. The only way of controlling the amount of airflow on a device like this is by the diameter of the inner bore of the coil head which with the coil heads included especially for a 0.4ohm coil is quite wide so before even trying the device it was obvious to me this would give an airy vape!

___________________________________________________________________



Fitting The Battery

One thing the Pico is loved for is the way we have a top battery cap which allows the battery to protrude from the main body so the device can be shorter than the length of the battery making it a small compact unit, of course the idea has been copied by other manufacturers which is the norm when it comes to vaping manufacturing.

To stay true to the Pico design the Compaq also has a top battery cap but it is square which at first i thought although aesthetically pleasing is quite impractical as it would need much more room to unscrew compared to a round cap. But as it turns out this has a spring loaded bayonet fitting like seen with many RTA top-caps and just a slight turn and it's off. When fitting back in position it needs pushing down against the spring before again just the slightest of turns locks it in position. This is really good in fact probably the best feature of the device and one that no doubt will be copied as the idea can quite easily be adapted to a round cap!

The orientation is labelled at the bottom of the battery tube and clearly on the underside of the cap and once in place we have no battery movement whatsoever, cracking job!



___________________________________________________________________



The Display

The Pico Compaq has an old school minimalistic display but it's nice and bright and gives all the information needed for a simple 60w power only device. To the left we have an upright battery status bar and then to the right of the bar we have the resistance top and puffs below. The entire right half of the screen displays the wattage in nice large font!



___________________________________________________________________



Navigating The Pico Compaq

The Pico Compaq is the usual 5 clicks of the fire button to turn on and off but you can turn on with 10 clicks which displays the internal temperature before the working screen or 20 clicks which displays the firmware version.

Once on the Compaq is a simple variable wattage only device which has no menu system whatsoever but does have a few combination button press features.

Down and fire together flips the display (but not the buttons) and then repeating the process flips it back again. Up and fire together resets the puff counter and up and down together locks and unlocks those buttons but when locked the device still fires!

The wattage adjusts in 0.1w increments between 1w and 20w and then in 0.5w increments between 20w and 60w, it doesn't round robin!



___________________________________________________________________



Protections:

Over-charge Protection
Over-discharge Protection
Over-current Protection
Over 10s Protection
Short Circuit Protection
Reverse Polarity Protection



___________________________________________________________________



Charging

As usual i will go into "Groundhog Day" mode to say i never recommend charging in the device but if it's your only option the Pico Compaq both has Type C USB and a 2A charge rate, it also supports pass-through. Because 20 clicks on gives the firmware version then despite it being such a simple adjustable wattage only device that tells me it's also firmware upgradeable.



___________________________________________________________________



My Experience Using The Pico Compaq And Thoughts!

The first thing to mention is i found the device very comfortable in the hand and for the price point the build quality is surprisingly good. I love the battery cap and spring loaded bayonet fitting which i can see being implemented on future devices. The pod fits securely, is clear and fills quickly and mess free but it needs removing from the device to both check the level and to fill which is a pain! The incorporated drip tip is very comfortable but still would prefer to be able to fit my own, the device is also very simple to operate and i like the adjustment increments. I also like the light switch style fire button which i know some people don't like but this one can be pressed anywhere and it fires, the navigational rocker i also like but can see it being a little awkward for those with thicker fingers.

Not having adjustable airflow really lets the device down as does the fact only one coil head is available even if you do receive two of them. Both the airflow that gets to the coil and inner bore doesn't suit the 0.4ohm coil making it a cool vape but with those huge wicking holes i thought this could be solved by upping the wattage but even at 35w it just couldn't keep up and that was the first coil spent. The flavour is actually very good so if only the airflow could be reduced to give more warmth which in turn would probably even improve the flavour further then this would give a great vape but as is it's a cool one size fits all semi restrictive vape which will suit some people but it needs more versatility to give the better AIO/Pod Mods a serious run for their money!

This is far from a bad device though and if it had adjustable airflow, more coil head options and a liquid viewing window then this has enough about it to be a very good device but even as it is i can certainly see those that love their Pico devices and who have considered trying an AIO/Pod Mod being tempted by this!

Hi, all.
I'm new to blue raspberry flavor in general and I'm trying to clone a commercial mix for a friend. Air Factory's Blue Razz, which is apparently a taffy flavor. My friend gave me a little of his liquid, and I got the blue razz part, also tasted like maybe bubblegum (bubblicious type) and cotton candy which must be the taffy part, and a hint of something fruity on the back end which I thought might be an apple flavor.
That's what I got out of it anyway.
So far I'm working with Sour Blue Raspberry WF as the main flavoring. I like that by itself at 7% or higher. I came up with a recipe and got a few flavors, and shake and vape it's not really close to what I was going for. Which is not a surprise, work in progress. I'm going to steep it a bit and see how it changes, but I think I need a taffy flavoring, and something to make the blue raspberry pop a little.
A good taffy base is needed to get it close as a clone, and I'm a bit of a stranger to candy / taffy flavors, so that's probably where I need the most advice.

-Blue Razz AF Clone V1
9% Sour Blue Raspberry WF
2% Bubblegum FLV
2% Circus Cotton Candy TFA
1.5% Fuji Apple CAP

Initial tasting after mixing was bubblegum forward, and not the right kind, more like old fashioned rubbery bubblegum and the blue raspberry was a little subdued. I do understand this profile may change as it sits, but I think I need some different flavorings in there. Maybe even a little sweetener since I'm trying to mimic a commercial liquid, but I thought the cotton candy might take care of that, and the WF Sour Blue Rasp is somewhat sweet also.

Thanks for any advice!

I am not so much looking for the cheapest but the best fruit vapes. Love the berry juices. Give me your opinion.

Hello
I was convinced to try vaping to quit smoking so i tried with a Vaporesso PodStick with a juice of 25mg with a 10mg of freebase nic. But that wasn't working very well because besides the scratch on the throat i had to be always vaping.
So i got my hands in some 20mg/ml nic salts ready to vape. The first one was Milky Way by Monosalts and besides the first half tank was a little harsh it got better and i definitely got my addiction satisfied (this time could get full days only vaping and no need to smoke some cigarettes between). But there is some problems:

1- economically is a little more expensive because every change on flavor as to be a new tank/resistance, the nic salt juice it's only sell in 10mg bottle and i'm new and want to try a lot of flavors
2- The flavor itself is almost none at least in my experience in this pod

Addiction part is done. So i thought it's time to invest on better hardware to improve the experience and be complete satisfied. I now have a Vandy Vape Jackaroo with a Ares 2 and can't vape in it. Every time it hurts my lungs and immediately a cough so strong that i think i will get permanent damage
Tried always between 10W and 20W, first with the 1 ohm coil provided, then with the provided wire built a 1.4 ohm and got no better. Already tried less air, with the more air it seems to not be so concentrated but still the same result. I will try to dilute to 10 mg/ml or accept defeat on vaping and sell everything to get some money back.
What am i doing wrong???? because i read a lot of people with rta system with higger nic salt concentrations saying it's fine.
Sorry the long threat, but it´s the only way to explain my all situation. I'm hopping that someone can help me because beside the low flavor it felt good to be free of conventional tobacco even that was for a short time

Dawns flavor shack no longer sells pe-mixed I have been getting berries jubilee for years. Does anyone know where I can get something comparable.

Welcome back and hello again everyone. Todays review is on a AIO from Vaporesso and it's called the XIRON. This little powerhouse has a internal 1500 mAH battery and operates from 5-50watts scrolling in .5 increments pretty quickly. First before I give you my impressions on the XIRON lets find out a little information on it first.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS


Opening up the box I was greeted with the gunmetal version that has a very classy look in somewhat of a X pattern to it in gunmetal with black textured sides giving it a great grip and hand feel.



The fist thing I noticed that made me smile was the 5.5ml clear Pod making juice viewing a breeze. The black accent on top of the Pod adds to the all around elegant styled look.

The device uses 3 magnets to connect the Pod and they are very strong. When installing your coil make sure the coil slots are pointed towards the magnets so the airflow can work.

The coil that I like using most is the 0.3Ω giving me great flavor and the warmth I like in a vape, all the GTX coils are great flavor producers.

The XIRON is a top fill device with a very big juice hole and a rubber plug that can be rotated out of the way when filling juice.

On the bottom of the device are a set of ventilation holes, 5 in total.

Vaporesso includes 2 drip tips with the XIRON one being a standard 510 while the other is a squared type that can be rotated 360°, both are held in place very well.

The up and down buttons are located at the bottom of the face plate just above the Type-C charge port.

The sides and bottom of the device have a somewhat sparkled look that tops off the look of the XIRON. A fully adjustable airflow dial is located at the top of one side and can be dialed down to a very tight draw, the airflow selector on my gunmetal version is also gunmetal in color keeping the color scheme of the mod going.

The display screen is vivid and provides the user with all the detailed information one needs.

OPERATING THE DEVICE


* 5 presses of the power button turns the device on/off
* 3 presses of the fire button locks the adjustment buttons
* Pressing and holding both the power and plus button at the same time flips the screen

THE MENU


* Pressing and holding the up and down button simultaneously opens up the menu screen
* Up first in the menu screen is smart mode which gives you a recommended wattage
* Next up is variable wattage
* Next up is variable voltage
* Then finally default and exit

A very simple and easy menu because wattage or voltage are the only modes other than smart mode which uses wattage anyway. I'm not a TC user and like the menu just as it is.


FINAL IMPRESSION

Well folks prepare for a gush fest because I could not find a single thing that is a con on this device other than if thumb firing your finger can sometimes block the airflow control dial, keeping your finger under the dial prevents this from happening, finger firing your thumb will naturally fall under the airflow dial when firing. That is it's only shortcoming period!!!

Looks alone are a 10 for the XIRON plus it uses GTX coils and as many of you know they are very flavorful. I have been using it for a couple of weeks and have had no leaks or seepage issues just a tiny amount of condensation when chain vaping for a while which you can do because the clear 5.5ml pod goes a long way and the GTX coils keep up just fine never getting a dry hit.

The built in 1500mAH battery charges at 2amps very quickly with only 2 charges needed for a full day ( YOUR VAPING TIME MAY VARY ). The feel of quality runs through every part of the XIRON. Filling the Pod couldn't be easier and with the fill hole being as large as it is you can fill it all the way to the brim without a mess.

I haven't been this impressed with a device this size in a long time, even the fully adjustable airflow is smooth. Now back to it's appearance that still wows me and any new vaper that has spotted me out with it. I travel many miles daily and have many stops I have to make every day and there's always new stops where I interact with people and many of them vape and are also impressed when they see it for the first time. Vaporesso really hit the ball out of the park with the XIRON, An almost perfect AIO.

I would like to thank Jasmine, Jessica and Vaporesso for providing the XIRON for review, and I also hope this review helped anyone looking to purchase the XIRON.

THANK YOU

I managed to wick a coil properly with rayon and got amazing flavor, but since then, I just can’t get the right amount of wick.

I can’t find any videos about how to do it starting from that fat roll that it comes in. I know it’s supposed to make that squeaking noise, but it’s eluding me. I generally cut it in half and then just eyeball the width and trim. Is there an easier way to do this for my 2.5ID coils that will get me a better wick, or am I doing it right?

First impressions:

The first time I saw the Xiron, I was favorably attracted by its appearance, The Xiron is small but the weight is substantial, handling it I immediately thought of a solid and robust device.



The zinc alloy armor has a pleasant "X" design with a black shade downwards, the structure embraces and protects the whole mod, one side bears the Vaporesso writing, the opposite one contains the brand logo.

Under this armor there is the plastic material that makes up the box, all the edges are rounded and joined together, the texture recalls the scales of a reptile in the design, this texture more than offering an effective grip certainly offers a pleasant feedback visual and tactile.





On the front we find a 0.69-inch OLED display and an elegant and clickable Fire button positioned above the screen.
The plus and minus adjustment buttons are located below the screen along with the USB-C charging port located on the edge of the "X" armor.

So I just ordered 4 Molicel batteries from 18650 Battery store, they came in today and I put two in to charge in my Trustfire dual charger, this morning about 11ish. I went to see if they had charged yet and the charger and batteries were very hot, and not charged.
The batteries are the Molicel P26A 18650 2600mAh 35A Battery. I put one back in the charger, still warmish, but not hot, could it be the batteries(hope not) or should I just buy a new charger.
I've always been very happy with their batteries, so asking for help.

There's a hole in my collection.
Looking for a 2018 Billet Box. No color preference, just in good shape or better please.

hi all, does anyone have the firmware for the i-priv? mines toast, only got 2 weeks out of it. now out of warranty due to it sitting in my cupboard for over a year. thanks

Ok so I've been out of the ecig community for quite awhile now. I recently started to smoke and I'm looking to get caught up on the new devices. I'm looking for recommendations for an internal battery box. I want this box to last me the full day plus, but also not something that that will pull my pants down when it goes into my pocket.

Thanks for help

There are two kinds of Freemax Maxpod Coils available for Maxpod Pod System: NS Mesh Coil 1.0ohm and NS Mesh Coil 1.5ohm. So what make Maxpod coils stand out?



Freemax Maxpod Coils are equipped with FM SaltCoilTech 2.0 which applies Honeycomb Mesh & Flax Cotton & Organic Cotton Formula for both Nic Salt & Freebase E-liquid. What’s more, you can refill any kind of vape juice you like best. In the other word, these mesh coils can be compatible with 99% of flavor categories in the market. And the lifespan of each coil is about 5-8 refills, considering nic content and VG/PG ratios.

Difference between NS Mesh Coil 1.0ohm and 1.5ohm below:
NS Mesh Coil 1.0ohm comes with 66.66% flax cotton and 33.34% organic cotton, and Nic Salt is best for 20-30mg and Freebase e-liquid is best for 3-12mg, which is focused on flavor and vapor.

NS Mesh Coil 1.5ohm consists of 44.44% flax cotton and 55.56% organic cotton, and Nic Salt is suggested best at 30-50mg and Freebase e-liquid is best at 12-24mg, which is focused on Nicotine Intake and Throat Hit.

I think I know what it is...a mod with a build in e juice bottle, right? How do the atomizers with with those?

Newbie here. Bought a Smok Nord using NKD 100 Salt 3 days ago was loving it until it started "Gurgling' and found it pretty much unusable without coughing my guts up. Googled that, and it seems it could be a "flooded coil", so Googled that, but every "fix" I've tried doesn't seem to be working. (Removed the coil, shoved tissue down it to soak up extra liquid etc etc). The fixes I tried did help a little, but not really. Bit annoyed right now because I'm currently a 2 plus packet a day smoker and after 3 days of using this I had already set my "Quit Date", because I was enjoying it so much, but now it's pretty much unusable. Feeling dumb, so any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome back folks for todays review which comes to us from Vaporesso and is on the new FORZ TX80 Kit. This kit is a change from what we normally see from Vaporesso being that their devices have more of a upscaled look to them. The FORZ TX80 Kit is a waterproof, shockproof, dustproof kit, yes even the Tank. Vaporesso claims that closing the airflow down completely and putting the supplied rubber drip tip cap on that the Tank is waterproof also, I could be wrong but I think that's a first in the industry. Before I tell you my experience with the FORZ Kit lets look at some detailed information on the FORZ TX80 Kit by Vaporesso.

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS

I always like being wowed when opening vape packages and Vaporesso did that again with the FORZ TX80 Kit. Their presentation of products always show they don't just put items in a container and package it up, they always think of the little things even presentation of their products. Below the kit in the picture is a packet holding your manual, warranty card and counterfeit information. Even the braided Type-C charge cable is housed in it's own container.




The top of the device has a nice design surrounding the spring loaded offset 510 and has AXON CHIP stamped on the top plate that is held in place with 5 screws.



The single 18650 battery is installed on the bottom of the device via a battery cap, simply lift the inner part and unscrew it, install your battery positive side in then screw the cap back on.



Battery polarity is clearly marked inside the device with a red + and - is marked on the battery cap as well.





Embossed in the leather grip is FORZ in between 2 red stitching rows from top to bottom giving it a very tough but stylish look. The Tank's glass tube is protected by being incased in the rubber cage used to protect it from drops and it works well as I've tested it inadvertently by setting the device on a 5 foot high dresser only to have my cat jump up to investigate it and promptly knock it to the wooden floor, not a scratch to be found on either the tank or device. Even the Drip Tip itself has a stylish chrome ring at the bottom of it. The FORZ Tank's bottom airflow uses 3 airflow slots and is a air lovers dream but can be dialed down for a nice restricted DL vape.



The top cap unscrews with a quarter turn to reveal 2 juice fill ports that are partially blocked by metal inside them, I thought for sure there would be problems filling because of it but filling slowly has worked just fine without a mess. Vaporesso provides a key to unscrew the glass bracket lock when cleaning or changing the glass tube and it also doubles as a coil removal tool for anyone with dexterity problems.





I really like how this device can withstand punishment but still have a appearance of style with the front plate having a brushed metal look surrounding the display screen and the 4 buttons of the device. Yes 4 buttons, Vaporesso incorporated a dedicated menu button that sits under the plus and minus buttons at the bottom of the device.



On one side of the device is the Type-C charge port that is located down at the bottom and is covered with a rubber plug that is pulled out revealing the charge port. There is some small Vaporesso branding located toward the top of the device.



MENU

* 5 presses of the power button turns the device both on/off
* 3 presses of the power button locks the adjustment buttons
* Holding the menu button for 3 seconds or pressing it 3 times will open the menu up
* First up is the new F(t) mode that sorta acts like a power curve automatically in my opinion
* Next is pulse mode followed by power eco mode that conserves battery life
* Then comes smart TC for all your Temp adjustments and different metals
* Then comes DIY mode where you can choose VW,VT,VV,BP and Super Player mode
* Next is system set for further adjustments such as brightness, screen flip, version, default, auto eco


AXON CHIP 2.0

The new Axon chip 2.0 has worked very well with a instant fire that is so fast you need to be careful not to touch the fire button when picking up the device because it might give you a fright when the coil engages LOL.

I am a straight wattage vaper so I couldn't tell you anything about how the chip performs in TC one way or another. I tried the new F(t) mode but really didn't notice much of a difference from straight wattage but that could be just me. I'm very pleased with the new chips performance never having any problems with the device itself.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Using the FORZ for the couple of weeks I've had it it has improved, let me explain. When I first took off both the top and bottom cap of the tank they felt gritty when re screwing both caps back in place. After about 3 or 4 tank refills the top cap was fine no more gritty threads. As far as the bottom cap, when I changed out the pre-installed coil to test the 0.4Ω coil everything was fine with the threading. The only reason I even mentioned this is in case any of you that buy one have this happen to them, it should work itself out very soon as mine did. This tank has 3 airflow slots giving it massive airflow wide open but can dialed down to a RDL . The tank is somewhat loud and whoshy although smooth from wide open to very closed down with no whistle at any range of airflow I tried. Flavor was average at first but improved with each tank refill.

The look of this tank is a look of toughness that as I said earlier was proven with a 5 foot fall on to hard wood floors without even a scratch. I even like the Drip Tip with it's chrome ring showing at the bottom. The tank fits flush flush to the device adding to it's appearance. As far as the coils go I preferred the 0.4Ω coil at 56w because of battery life, both coils performed the same. One other thing on the tank is that she's a juice guzzler, which is fine because both coils are rather large. I never received a dry hit in the many tankful's of juice used during the course of this review

The FORZ device itself is a very comfortable and ergonomic mod and being a single 18650 device even though it's beefed up with all the protection it isn't that heavy in my opinion. I wish that it was a 21700 though because teaming it with a tank that uses coils that require wattage in the 40-80 watt range I need to carry a extra battery if I'm going to be out with it for a long time.

I really hope Vaporesso comes out with a coil in the 30w range simply for battery longevity. The device will cater to those that need it's toughness but also to folks looking for something attractive as well. The screen although somewhat on the small side is very vivid and has plenty of information that you need minus a puff counter, you do get a puff timer but Vaporesso really should have used a puff counter instead of the timer especially with this device.

Scrolling through the wattage range is done fairly quick moving in .5 increments to the max of 80w, this device does not round robin. I tested the mods waterproof capability's in a sink full of water with no problems . All in all the FORZ TX80 Kit performed well for me.

I would like to thank Jasmine, Jessica and Vaporesso for providing the FORZ TX 80 Kit for review and I hope this review helped anyone looking into purchasing one for themselves.

Hey guys. New here.

Just got a Scar-18...

All good so far.

My only problem is that 1 battery shows 6 percent lower of charge....

I exchanged the batteries and now the other battery shows -6%....

So both batteries are same percentage but mod shows 6% lower in the minus slot....

Is that a big problem? Shall I take it back?

Without getting into how stupid I can be, and WHY I have wraps for a mod I've never owned, if anyone is looking for a good deal on one or two ZapWrapz, I might have something for you.

These are for the original Dani Box (18650, NOT Mini).

If you're unfamiliar with ZapWrapz, they're extremely high quality wraps from the UK. I have one on a Dani Box Mini and I love it.

Zapwrapz Vape Wraps & Skins

Looking to possible offset my losses here, CONUS folks can get them here for $15 each, which includes first class shipping w/tracking. If buying two, $25 takes them both home.

I've got one of each color, "Brushed Titanium" and "Purple Glitter". I actually have two of each so deals can be struck if there's any interest.

Anyways, here's a pic. IF interested, give me a shout.

Thanks for stoppin'!
