NEW. JUST FOUND SOMETHING OUT. DRAG 3

Hello, everyone! I am a 69 year old woman who quit smoking cigarettes 7-8 years ago by vaping instead! That's after 40+ years of smoking up to 2 packs/daily! Have been very happy about this and continue to be free of cigarettes.

I just got the DRAG 3 mod, which I had been wanting for a while. I've always used the EZ WATT - bought 3 of them then decided to try something else. So, I am new to all the wattage, etc. that is displayed on the side.

Having just watched a utube vid on the DRAG 3, I have learned several things about my new mod. One is changing it to smart mode, then back to regular mod. I noticed someone asking about this. If you need to know all I have to do is press the vape button 3 times quickly and it will change to smart mode. Do it again and it will change back. What I like about smart mode is that it goes to the wattage that should be used for the coil I am using. I didn't know s**t about coil resistance until getting this mod. Needless to say, I am learning a lot!!

If anyone could offer suggestions (Tips/Tricks) on how to operate this mod please reply with your input. It will be much appreciated. BTW - glad to have found these forums....:)

In the box:
  • 1 Gobar Max Pod
  • 1 User manual


The Gobar Max Pod is a quite new device, with some features I’ve never seen before. The juice is separated from the coil, to always stay fresh; their new technology. You can go for a prefilled one or an empty device to fill with your own juice. More about this will follow in this review.

AhUKjP_bwiUzh8Kn2iSKSUM3bJZnMbKHCcQFvD8D3TBd-LE3PQNqdjc6lvwM4vhE55y0nvVmsJbJMfDks6GAixK43ZZqFq-ZquYqk1vw_61OmQUEu_wUWqLJBjBsDM6_gbEal5vf2P5qFDbaXF1Rx_I


Design
The device comes in 5 different colors, for each color there are 2 flavors available for the prefilled version. In the picture above you can see all the colors and flavors that they have. I got the version of the device which wasn’t prefilled, so we’ll zoom in on those.

jcpBx1bQeB7UbOJFvfg5TMtTh3wg15LEg_hZB9Gy6eAJGj4u3xjgoUag5y-nT0sAPYO7FxdvUtZxq2p3arJUrBi2BotU224qj_b9_OqMnOLzchGCjChkNINO2Uvf5o3Ayj67VFr2CfdjLsuoiIv7SO0


The device looks and feels like a standard disposable device, being very lightweight and comfortable to hold in the hand. There is a USB-C connection to charge the device on the bottom, right next to the fillport. This fillport is to fill the device with 15ml of eliquid one time. After that you cover the fillport with a sticker the company provides for you. Hence, it being more so targeted towards the disposable market. On the bottom there is also a switch for airflow control. You can close the airflow off completely or choose between three different open settings for it. There is some branding on the front and back of the device and on the side you can always see the juice level. On top, next to the mouthpiece is the lock to keep the juice apart from the coil and fresh.

Performance
It’s a pretty good device. Comparable to a lot of disposables on the market. Only difference for the empty one is that you can choose which e-liquid to put in there, so you always know what's in there. With other disposables this hasn’t always been the case, so this is a safer option. Fill it once and you don’t have to think about it again for 10.000 puffs.

PyZSDmeDcUnsWihn8Hlby_RGRHsdZb-AE6LXKKU3oJVQZJhdf92_TTwjtsCmz-6oMozEmhgsUD2oMU9jxA2ZFr_y7gwuPoYUcg-kpiIIsJ7xbO8dSDuZjiTi46-8Uud-kCqaRzqG_oAMP2vmgkgT51Q


What really makes this device stand out is that new technology; the coil is separated from the liquid. Because of this it should have a long lasting fresh taste and it should be leakproof. I can confirm that it is indeed fully leakproof. I personally haven’t experienced any leaks with it.

The device has a comfortable mouthpiece with a nice draw. You can also really tell that the airflow control actually does something. With the airflow all the way closed you get a really tight MTL draw and with the airflow open you get a loose MTL to even a RDL hit. The one thing that bothered me a little bit, but wasn’t a big issue: the device makes a whistling sound when you take a hit with the airflow all the way open. Other than that it gave a really good performance. Good flavor, doesn’t rip through juice and a good competitor against other disposables, because you can add your own juice to it.

When the device is fully empty, it takes about 60-90 minutes to fully recharge. It indicates it's charging with the light constantly on. When the light on the bottom turns off, you know the device is charged again.

Pros
  • Airflow control
  • Pretty big battery of 700 mAh
  • Good flavor
  • Lightweight & pocketable
  • Leakproof
  • Fresh juice on the go

Cons
  • Whistles with airflow all the way open
  • Disposable

Verdict
Overall, the Gobar Max Pod offers a unique vaping experience. It allows you to choose your e-liquid, going for convenience and safety. While it's not without minor issues, its performance and features make it a strong contender in the disposable vape market.

Smok Mag Solo 100W Mod | Reviews by Z-Lee

Smok Mag Solo 100W Mod


1693785665680.png

I've got another review for you today where we'll be taking a look at the Smok Mag Solo 100W Mod from HealthCabin. The picture above shows the entire kit, but we'll be focusing solely on the mod in this review. This is the first Smok product I've ever reviewed, and the first non-pod Smok product I've ever owned. It's pretty common knowledge that Smok has received a lot of flak over the years for their build quality and a lack of thoroughness in their QC department, so when they released a 21700 mod, I figured this is a better time than any to give them another go and to re-evaluate where they stand in the vape market. Some things in this review may surprise you, while other aspects of it may not. We'll cover almost everything, from head to toe.

I want to give a quick shoutout to Sue over at HealthCabin for supplying the Mag Solo for review. As a reviewer, this critique will be conducted in a fair and honest manner.

Alright, leh-go!

- REVIEW TESTING & OBSERVATIONS -


1693788531869.png

For this review, I received the Haze Blue colorway. The color choice when sent was random, but it just so happens that my favorite color is blue, so naturally I like the way this mod looks. It's nice to see a variety of aesthetic options available, as not everyone wants a pastel-looking mod, and likewise with a more aggressive look such as that of carbon fiber. The mod kit comes with an 18650 adapter, USB Type-C charging cable (very short), a User Manual, Safety Manual, and a Warranty Verification card. The packaging is solid and will keep the mod from taking any abuse at all when shipped. This is a pretty standard outfit of hardware packaged with a mod as a kit, so I'd consider this a decent starter mod kit. With all of the positives, come a few negatives, but we'll touch a bit on that later.


The Mag Solo:
1693789102546.png

The Mag Solo is made of Zinc-Alloy and has a glossy finish that does a pretty decent job of hiding any fingerprints. The shiny metallic ribbon circumnavigating the faux-leather on the back, not so much. This shiny metallic ribbon is nothing new and can be recognized as a similar variant of GeekVape's signature design, but the Mag Solo still encompasses the "pistol grip" that makes it stand out amidst the plethora of standard box mods. From the original Mag design however, which I personally was never very interested in being a thumb-fire kinda guy, the design has been toned down enough to where thumb-firing isn't uncomfortable in the slightest bit. For index finger-firers (say that 5 times quickly!), there's still that pistol grip feel if that appeals to you.

On the front of the mod from top down is the basic layout of buttons and UI that can be found on most standard box mods. At the top is the fire button, the 0.96" TFT UI screen just below that, followed by the left ("down") and right ("up") buttons, and lastly the USB-C charging port at the bottom.

To the right of the UI, there's SMOK branding engraved into the shiny metallic band, with MAG SOLO imprinted into padded faux-leather backing. I believe these are stickers, so don't be fooled into believing the carbon fiber sticker is legitimately carbon fiber; they're more or less for aesthetic looks. Just above the SMOK engraving, there's a QR code sticker which I believe directs you to SMOK's site, but I peeled it off before ever verifying, lol. It comes off quite cleanly and easily.

The fire button has a solid tactile feel having a nice "click" when adding a few pounds of pressure. There's no mushiness here, which is ideal - you want it either on or off with no room for feathering. One thing I did notice about the left and right buttons is that they're super easy to press. Too easy to press, in fact. I noticed when putting the Mag Solo in my cup holder while driving to work, that often times my wattage was turned all the way down, all the way up, or the wattage was locked from both buttons being pressed at the same time. The weight of the mod shouldn't be enough to make changes to the wattage, which is going to catch an unsuspecting victim with an ultra hot vape, or no vape at all. This is going to have to be the first con for me.

The spring-loaded brass/gold-plated 510 pin in the top of the mod has had no issues with registering an atomizer. The throw distance seems quite long, and will likely have you making a few extra rotations to get the atomizer securely fastened into the 510, which is really no big deal.

The bottom of the mod has a swinging battery door panel which unlatches by sliding the ribbed rectangular button inward. Without a battery to sort of "kick" the door open, it's easiest to use a fingernail to slide the switch without having to press down on it. The hinge portion of the battery door slopes downward (or upward if the mod is standing upright) and is located just below the front-facing side of the mod which is a bit puzzling to me. The heavier portion of the Zinc-Alloy frame also happens to be on the front-facing side, and these two aspects of the design do not not mix very well. I've dropped the mod by accident quite a few times off of my desk simply because it's a bit topsy-turvy. However, the battery door never flew open and the 510 plate has yet to become loose, break, or snap off which is a great testament to what I've alluded to time and time again in my reviews - Zinc-Alloy frames are best for durability. This is an absolute huge pro in favor of the Mag Solo.

There is a negative "-" battery orientation engraved on the swinging battery door that I failed to capture very well, as well as a positive battery indicator at the bottom of the battery slot. With modern regulated mods, there are safety protections to prevent the mod from working if you happen to put the battery in the wrong way, so don't be overly concerned with this in the Mag Solo. One exception to this battery orientation rule is Freemax's Maxus 100W mod and 200W mod - you can place the battery(ies) in it whichever way you want, and the mod will work just the same. But I digress...

1693791652098.png

The top of the mod is securely fastened with 6 screws. 3 of the 6 fasten the zinc-alloy top plate onto the mod, and the other 3 screws fasten the 510 plate to the top plate. This seems a bit excessive however, the 510 is fastened into zinc-alloy which is the most important part to me. Many of the newer mods being released today screw the 510 plate directly into plastic or aluminum frames (aluminium for some of you ;)), and the outcomes have been less than impressive. Sure, plastic and aluminum are lighter than zinc-alloy, but zinc-alloy is about 2.5x as strong as aluminum-alloys, and infinitely stronger than plastic. I'll take a slightly heavier zinc-alloy mod over plastic or aluminum any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. If there's anything I recommend you doing research on when searching for a durable and long-lasting mod, it's this. Screw a full atomizer on top of a plastic or aluminum fastened 510 plate and then drop it - you're out a mod 9 times out of 10. Zinc-alloy is definitely the way to go, but don't take my word for it. Again, this is an absolutely huge bonus in favor of the Mag Solo.


The UI:

1693795104641.png


From left to right and top to bottom, the UI layout is as follows:
> Battery life Bar Indicator, Battery Life Percentage
> Wattage Setting (W), Left/Right Buttons Locked (if red padlock is present)
> Coil Resistance, Voltage Output
> Puff Counter (p), Last Puff Duration (s)

The User Interface is about as simple as it gets when it comes to a box mod. The chip doesn't offer anything outside of Wattage (Power) Mode, which makes the mod very easy understand and operate. Wattage changes to the mod are in full wattage increments ranging from 5 to 100W. This device does round-robin for those that care about that feature, but I've never really understood the importance of it (how often are you changing the wattage that drastically from 100W to 5W or vice versa?). When holding down the left or right button, the wattage ramps up in acceleration making it very easy to make simple or lengthy wattage adjustments in two or three shakes of a deer's tail.


The shortcut button combinations to access various features is as follows:
> Turn the mod on/off: 5x fire button clicks
> Lock the entire device (best for stowing): 3x fire button clicks (top right picture above)
> Lock Wattage Adjustment (left and right buttons): Press and hold both left and right buttons simultaneously
> Change the UI color (6 color themes): Press and hold right button and fire button simultaneously
> Reset the Puff Counter (no confirmation screen :(): Press and hold left button and fire button simultaneously

Aaaaaand, that's it!


Newer Puff Counter confirmation screens have really spoiled me, because I accidentally reset this mod playing around with the UI. Not a huge biggy, but I don't like having to dig around for the User Manual for fear of accidentally resetting the Puff Counter. The puff counter itself only tracks up to 999 and then resets anyway, so again, not a big deal.



Performance Info:

1693796882767.png


I'll try not to get too nerdy in this portion so it's easier to understand. I noted above what each column represents and highlighted some outputs which I'll be talking about.

Column 1 is the coil resistance reading of the mod. Column 2 is the wattage I set the mod to. Column 5 is the calculated wattage output for each wattage setting corresponding respectively in Column 2. I added an arrow near the top of the excel sheet for clarification.

The Smok Mag Solo peaked at 73W with a 0.15 ohm coil, and 74W using a 0.36 ohm coil (don't mind the resistance accuracy, it's a really old coil I still use for testing only, lol), which is quite a bit shy of the advertised "100W". I'd never expect a mod to reach 100W with a 0.79 ohm coil simply because we'd be setting the house on fire, but 53W is certainly enough. The 74W cap is going to have to be added to the cons - I'm not a fan of embellished advertised specs, one bit.

The maximum Amp Output was 22.1A using a 0.15 ohm coil shown in Column 4 which is very "safe" (25A+ CDR batteries will perform very well and have longer life since they won't heat up as much and there won't be as much battery sag), but quite a bit inhibitive for the mod to be able to reach the 100W advertised.

The max Voltage Output was 6.51V using a good 'ole 0.81 ohm Innokin Z coil shown in Column 3, so it does reach the advertised 6.5V and verifies the presence of a boosted chip which is definitely a necessity for single battery mods if you like performance consistency.

Based on these results, the Smok Mag Solo is best for MTLs and mid-subohm RDLs and even DLs if the user doesn't use high wattage. I've been vaping the Freemax M Pro 3 with a 0.15 ohm coil for the vast majority of the testing and it's been performing great at 60-65W. In other mods, for a similar vape I've been using 50-55W, so it does seem to perform a little bit on the weaker side, but definitely consistent.

The battery indicator is fairly accurate and performs unnoticeably different until about 5-10% battery left which I was super impressed with. More often than not, performance usually starts to degrade around 20ish% for mods with a boosted chip. This also gets a pro mark from me.

The USB Type-C charging port charges at around 1.2A which falls within decent range of the advertised 1.5A max, even though I do not support or recommend using the charging port for charging unless you're away from an external charger and there's no other way to charge this device. The Mag Solo also supports pass-through vaping if you must vape while it's charging.



- CONCLUSION -


I've pumped around 3000 puffs through this Mag Solo over the past month and it's performed exceptionally well for my needs. My needs being lower to mid wattage preferences in vaping. I don't like hot vapes, so this might not be an ideal mod for you if you must vape at high wattages. If you normally find yourself using coils with 0.4 ohm resistances and above with wattages below 70W, you have yourself a winner here.

My past experiences with Smok devices were restricted to pod devices only prior to acquiring the Mag Solo, so it might be a bit unfair to compare my experiences shared in this review with what I've experienced in the past. I will say that most of the negativity I've felt in the past with those pod devices and the general consensus of the vape community regarding the Smok brand has been flipped around with the Mag Solo, and I would endorse this product for the uses stated above, assuming I didn't simply get lucky with the mod I received in terms of QC.

Where the Smok Mag Solo excels is in the aspects of build quality and ease of operation, but leaves quite a bit to be desired in the performance department. It isn't unusable by any means and I'd still prefer it over VooPoo's Drag X Plus or even their Drag X Plus Pro simply due to the Mag Solo's zinc-alloy construction. I'd even go as far as to say the 22A limitation the chips restricts makes it a very safe mod for a brand new vaper. It's not a great option for a veteran vaper that likes options, but it certainly works decently well for most applications that are ideal for a single 21700 mod - low to mid wattage uses.

I like how the Mag Solo has drifted away from the extreme "pistol grip" aesthetic that turned away pretty much any and all thumb-firing vapers, and has found a way to keep the style while also broadening the appeal to more users. I think this was a smart move by Smok.



++ Pros ++
> Solid zinc-alloy construction
> Solid/sturdy 510 (dropped several times)
> Light weight
> Very easy to operate
> Great hand-feel for both index and thumb-firing
> Battery door holds very well even when dropped
> 22A cap makes this mod a safer option for new vapers
> 9 color options at HealthCabin
> 5 UI color themes
> USB Type-C (1.2A verified)



- - Cons - -
> Left and Right Buttons are too easy to press
> 74W cap underwhelmingly falls short of the advertised 100W


+- Considerations -+
> Mod sits a bit unstable
> Wattage (Power) Mode only
> Not a lot of menu options/customizations
> Soft ramp-up



Overall Rating:
6.5-8.0

(6.5 for high wattage vapers, 8.0 for mid-ohm RDL/DL users and MTLs - bumped up quite a bit for solid construction in comparison to most mass produced mods being released today)


And that concludes this review of the Smok Mag Solo 100W mod. If you see any glaring mistakes or inconsistencies, please don't hesitate to point them out. Respond here, or leave me a PM if the thread closes.

If you're wondering where you can get this tank of a mod, here's the link. Again, I want to thank Sue from HealthCabin for providing this device for review and giving me a proper amount of time to thoroughly test it. And a special thanks to you, the reader, for taking the time to read my word salad.

Happy vape hoarding!

What vape pod systems have a cooler vape?

Hello, I'm looking for pod systems that have a cooler vape. I was surprised how warm things like the Caliburn and some other systems vape. I feel like I'm inhaling hot steam, feels weird and off putting, and use up so much more juice than I was hoping to buy. I heard the original Caliburn may* vape cooler then the A2 and A3, but I only just began looking at things available online after some years so I'm completely out of touch with all the devices that have been available for some time. For comparison, for the past 4 years I've only used the Vuse system. It's not great and the juice is terrible and insanely overpriced, but it's definitely not warm. Before that I usually used 1.5omh coils at low wattage but prefer the pods with high nic salt.

Bench Test Results: Keeppower UH1835P - 10A 1200mAh 18350

These tests below only note my personal opinion for the ESTIMATED ratings for the batteries I tested at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, Murata, LG, Panasonic, Molicel, or Sanyo can change at any time! This can be one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.

Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of property damage, personal injury, or even death. Never use them outside of a fully protected battery pack and you use them at your own risk. Never exceed the battery’s true continuous discharge rating (CDR), never let it get colder than 0°C or hotter than 60°C, and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition. Never use a battery that is physically damaged in any way.

Testing batteries at their limits is dangerous and should never be attempted by anyone who has not thoroughly studied the dangers involved, understands the risks, has the proper equipment, and takes all appropriate safety precautions.

If the battery has only one current rating number, or if it only says "max", then I have to assume the battery is rated at that current level for any type of discharge, including continuous.

Test Results
It’s been four years so it’s time for a retest. This Keeppower is a decent performer and no longer uses the very inconsistent Yong De Li New Energy co. (YDL) cell, which was sometimes better performing but only if you got a “good” one. This cell used by Keeppower and some others is better but 18350’s are still more inconsistent than larger cells.

This Keeppower’s capacity rating is exaggerated. The two cells I tested delivered 1126mAh and 1132mAh. This is below this cell’s 1200mAh rating and since I cannot have the two lowest capacity cells in the batch I am rating them 1100mAh.

The 10A rating pushes them hard so I recommend, like with all cells, operating it at lower than its rating. For best performance (not lots of voltage sag) and long cell life I recommend staying under 5A-7A (15W-21W). Charge at 0.5A or lower!

The 15A “Max Pulse” rating will result in HUGE voltage sag and very short run times. If you are pulsing at current levels this high do not allow the cell to get hotter than 60°C to help lower the risk and extend cell life.

This cell has an extra line of sealant or epoxy at the top, where the rolled over edge of the metal can meets the top plastic sealing ring. I have never seen this on any other cell and I do not know why it is there. Rust prevention (when used in a humid environment) at the edge of the metal can perhaps? I scraped out this sealant/epoxy and did a few cycles of high-current pulse discharging without problems. I do not think the sealant/epoxy line is there to help keep the cell from leaking.

LostVape Thelema Quest Temp Control Help.

Hey guys me again,
Ive just got myself a steamcrave meson rta and thrown in a vv single ss316 alien coil .3ohm im liking the vape at about 40w and have started to try out tc mode and not sure what i should be setting the wattage and temp too ive tried going to 50 60w with the wattage and 200c but it doesnt get a chance to get that hot. So i gone down to 40w and 125 degrees Celsius and it seems to be a nice vape but how exactly does it work should i be going way higher with the wattage and low with the degrees or just go up on both and be light with the fire button and just have it not burn my juice and coil. As described its a thelema solo the quest version not the dna. Thank in advance.
