I don't think he needs my help since everyone already knows this, but an absolutely phenomenal seller.

Once again I say hello and welcome to today's review of a device that's been out for some time but always peeked my interest. The OBS Engine 100W Kit is a very simple one with only wattage as it's power mode and as the title suggest has a maximum power output of 100w when a single 21700 or 20700 battery is used, wattage output is dropped to 80w if a single 18650 battery is used with the supplied battery adapter, yes this device can use 3 different sized batteries. I wanted to pick one of these up and review it a while back but this kit just kind of slipped by with so many items coming in to be reviewed. Sourcemore was nice enough to send me this kit for review and I'm glad they did but more about that later, I will leave a coupon code for this kit with a discounted price at the end of my review if purchased from Sourcemore lets get started with my review of the OBS Engine 100w Kit shall we.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS


I told you in the opening of this review that the device was a very simple wattage only device with some nice finishing touches on the mod, well packaging for this kit is very basic with a slide out tray ( bottom box portion ) containing the mod, tank with 0.2Ω mesh coil pre-installed in it, 2nd coil that's a 0.4Ω mesh coil, spare glass tube, spare O-rings, charge cord, user manual, warranty card, and 18650 battery adapter pre-installed in the battery sleeve.

The color of the resin battery tube and matching drip tip was the first thing that caught my eye, the first run series had a problem with the drip tip having some wobble when connected but that was only on the first run production series, mine is solid and fits well and the matching of color and design pattern is perfect.

The battery cap is different than most devices that have a single battery that installs from the bottom of the device usually with a latch on the battery cap that you pop up and unscrew but the Engine uses no pop up latch instead it uses a cap with knurling to unscrew/screw on. The threads on the cap are good, not buttery smooth but good enough to do the job.

The lines of the mod are attractive and the beveling adds some depth to it's appearance as well. Picking the device up it's weight surprised me because I thought it would be heavier than it is which is on the lighter side but not a lightweight. I like short tanks and the Engine's S Tank is just that and with it's exaggerated 6ml bubble glass tube it looks stumpy as well. 3 airflow slots adorn the S Tank which allow for plenty of airflow for a DL or RDL vape.





The coils for the S Tank are a standard push and pull type with no flat spots needing to be lined up just make sure the bottom Red O-ring is fully seated, they are pushed into the chimney barrel and end up very close to the drip tip base. Being so close to the drip base greatly improves flavor with less travel of vapor to the tip. A propeller design is printed on the base that I think indicates airflow, it's barely noticeable. Of note on the fill ports, you can use a 100ml bottle tip just fine but the tip will not go completely through either of the fill ports because they aren't wide enough.

I like the open design of the barrel chimney that looks like it was pressed down too much opening it up a bit, the UWELL Crown V Tank has the same type of look to it and I like it. The 2 mesh coils that ship with the kit are the E1 0.4Ω with a rating of 45-55w and a best setting of50w and the E2 0.2Ω with a rating of 50-70w and a best setting of 60w. I found both of these coils to be very flavorful and both keep up well when chain vaping which is easy to do because they produce such great flavor with the 0.2Ω coil being warmer. I found the best settings on both to be spot on sweet spots for my taste buds.









I told you earlier how thin the Engine 100w mod is and that's because the body is really the battery within a colorful resin sleeve, the bottom and top of the device bulge out some keeping a nice tapered look for the body of the mod making it very comfortable holding in the hand. As far as attaching other atomizer go you will be restricted to a 26mm before overhang of the atomizer happens. The 510 pin is spring loaded with good travel to it leaving no gap between the top plate and any atomizer I connected to it.





As most single battery devices do the battery is installed into the body of the device from the bottom using either a trap door or a battery cap with a hinged center piece that lifts up allowing you to screw/unscrew the cap.

The Engine 100w uses the cap without a center hinged section, you just unscrew/screw it on and off, there is cross cut knurling helping you get a good grip on the cap. The threads work fine but I think they could have been just a bit better. The Type-C USB charge port is in a very good spot on the device being so close to the bottom of it so it doesn't detract from the appearance. ( HARDLY NOTICEABLE )





Feeling as solid as it does with only having a top cap and front face housing the internals to make up of the mod with the battery being the main body shows just how compact the device really is. Another nice feature of the Engine 100w is that the battery sleeves are interchangeable with each other, but you will have to change the drip tip as well to keep the nice matchy-matchy look.

Having 3 different battery options is great and all fit fine with no rattle from any size battery I tested in the device. There is another thing that some may consider a feature with the battery sleeve, it spins freely but some force is needed to do this so for you people that fidget you get a fidget toy as well. The Engine 100w ships with the 18650 battery adapter already in the sleeve. Battery polarity markings are only on the cap showing a - minus symbol for the negative side of your battery.





Turning our attention to the back side of the mod you can see 1 of the 2 branding spots on the mod, ENGINE is boldly diamond cut at the top and actually enhances the appearance contrasting against the matt Gunmetal color of the body's frame. I shot this picture at a slight angle and you can see the other branding location at the bottom left on the face that has OBS printed in white.





Turning the device around to it's face shows the color display screen of which you have 6 different colors to choose from, I selected green to keep the matchy-matchy look.

I have only a few cons for the mod and one is the size of the fonts ( VERY SMALL ). The wattage, power, lock symbol and puff are the only items of the display screen that are easily visible and easy to distinguish and although bright and vivid enough, it could be brighter.

One feature that I think only OBS has is that the wattage automatically locks at whatever setting is selected once the fire button is pressed and can be unlocked to be readjusted with a simple 3 quick presses of either the up or down button showing a unlock symbol.

I reviewed one of the CUBE devices from OBS and I think it was the CUBE-S some time ago and it had the auto-lock feature on it as well. I really like this more simplified way of locking wattage and you stand a better chance of it staying locked when in a tight pocket.

Having the ability to use 3 different battery types is a great feature of the Engine 100w, because you are maxed out at 80w when using a 18650 it asks you what size battery is being used on the display screen when you first install the battery. If using a 20700 select the 21700 mode when prompted to.

FINAL IMPRESSIONS


As you can see this is a very simple mod with some very nice features that is perfect for a new vaper wanting to try Sub-Ohm vaping or a seasoned vet looking for a thin device with a drop dead easy menu and only wattage as a power mode.

I only vape in wattage mode personally and having a menu that's simplified is a bonus for me. Multiple color options for customizing the display screen is a nice touch as well and having the ability to buy a different color battery sleeve gives you a new mod at a fraction of the cost of buying a whole device, you will have to get a matching drip tip as well to keep a matchy-matchy look.

The auto-lock wattage feature is a great one that as I believe is only on some OBS devices, I wish all devices had it though. If the font size was larger and the display screen was a bit brighter I really would have no cons with it, the wattage pre-setting to 40w when a new battery is installed really doesn't bother me but it needed to be mentioned.

The tank really performs well and both of the supplied coils are spot on as far as best setting, the best setting on most drop in coils is almost never correct for my taste buds so this was impressive that OBS got it correct for my taste buds anyway. You will need to keep your juice bottle close because both of these coils really plow through juice but I'm fine with that as long as the flavor from them is great which it is.

Overall I think OBS did a great job with the Mod and Tank making this Kit a winner in my book. If you purchase this kit at Sourcemore use code OE1K for a discounted price.

I would like to thank Joyi and Sourcemore for providing this kit for review. I hope all your questions were answered on both the Mod and Tank.

THANK YOU

I hope someone can help with this problem. I've been buying my vape supplies from Fasttech for several years but my last 2-3 orders of CE4 Karnoo clearomizers for my Ego II batteries won't thread onto the batteries tightly enough to stay attached.

Any ideas what I can do to correct this? Swap clearomizers maybe to a CE5 or something? TIA.

not sure if i can ask it here but i recently upgraded from a renova zero to pico plus and zeus x. the dude i got it from said they're compatible but i can't seem to put the battery lid on when zeus x is on (or the other way around). they're both 25mm. am i missing something? are they not compatible?

As for the RPM series products, I believe that vapers who have heard or used them clearly know that the design is eye-catching and the internal performance is extremely superior. Due to the increased demands by users, products are constantly updated. As a result, the new SMOK RPM 25W Kit must be recommended to you.


900mAh built-in battery provides 25W high power, enjoy more lasting vaping. The 0.69-inch OLED screen shows you power, battery percent, resistance, and puffs. And through the adjustment button, you can adjust the power between 5W-25W, and switch to the power mode by pressing the button three times. Each button press increases the power by one.

Compatible with 2ml SMOK RPM Empty Pod which allows you to refill from the side and the LP1 Replacement Coil matches the kit as well. The coil features an anti-leakage system that minimizes product leakage.

Made of leather and metal components, the RPM 25W Kit looks so atmospheric and durable. The slender figure is more than enough to hold in the hand, and it is not burdensome to carry anywhere in the pocket.

What you need to know is that the pod can be rotated 360°, and with the air-inlet ring, you will get an especially mellow and authentic mouthfeel and smooth MTL vape.

The inhalation start function greatly facilitates the user and makes vaping easier.

These tests below only note my personal 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 is 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. They should never be used 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
The rumors say the HJ2 is the replacement for the HG2 but I have been unable to confirm that. I can confirm that this is a great performing cell.

It performs the same as the LG HG2 up to about 12A or so but then runs for noticeably longer than the HG2 at higher current levels. It performs a bit better than the Samsung 30Q and almost as well as the Molicel P28A, up to 20A.

The TENTATIVE datasheet lists it at 2950mAh and 20A but, like the HG2, it ran a bit hot for me.

I gave the HJ2 a 15A continuous current rating with a 20A temperature-limited rating if the cell is kept under 70°C…which is HOT and should be easy to stay under unless you’re running this cell hard in a battery pack where the cells heat each other up. If I was re-testing the HG2 it would get this same rating instead of the 17A rating I gave after my retest in 2019.

I don’t know how the cycle life of the HJ2 compares to other cells. Check my 18650 Ratings and E-Scores table (link below) to see how well this cell performed against others.

In my opinion, with LG actively working to keep their cells from being used outside of fully protected battery packs, we will see the HJ2’s mostly as rewrapped cells. As long as the ratings on the wrap are accurate though, that’s fine. Factory wrapped or rewrapped, it’s still an HJ2. As of this date I’ve only seen the HJ2 available from Vapcell (factory wrapped) or 18650BatteryStore (Epoch-branded wrap).

The two cells I tested delivered 2975mAh and 2984mAh. This is great consistency and is typical of cells from the big manufacturers.

Two cells were donated for testing by Vapcell (18650 batteries, Vapcell batteries, 18650 Chargers). Thank you!

Hi,

I have over purchased this flavor and want to unload some of my inventory. This listing is for TWO lots (each lot consisting of 10 bottles, 60ML each (600ML in total), 3MG, 70VG. 98% of the bottles have "best buy/bb" dates of July 2023...a couple have June 2023 and September 2023. These bottles are all SEALED/NEVER OPENED and were purchased by myself, directly from one of my favorite online sellers.

This flavor comes in a 2 pack (60ML X 2 bottles) and depending on where you purchase, the average price is anywhere from $15 - $20 per 2 pack. I'm selling each lot for $60 ($12 per 2 pack). This price of $60 INCLUDES free shipping in the United States.

I accept PP or Zelle (I do prefer Zelle because it's free for both parties). I ship within 24 hours (usually same day).

Thank you!

i've built 3 RBAs so far. One came with coil installed. Wicked it & it's working well.
2 others needed to be built & haven't been working well at all.

1 is an iJoy EXO-S.
1st attempt, it leaked a lot. Re-wicked it w/ the cotton longer, hitting the bottom; it still leaked a lot. Rebuilt it w/ the wick shorter, just into the holes, & it was like a burst dam. Re-wicked that thicker & longer, just touching the bottom, & it was ok for a bit then leaked. Upped the Watts & it was okay for a bit then leaked.
I used pre-wrapped VandyVape coils that came out to about 0.9 & 1.2 Ohms.
It was installed in a Cerberus tank.
Used different e-liquids w/ different pg/vg ratios: 70/30, 50/50, 30/70.
Power at various Watts from from 15 to 30.

i can't find any build videos or other useful info for it online or on ECF.
There is this about using it w/ an NRG tank:
Better Juice Flow for the Ijoy Exo-S/XS1 RBA in Vaporesso NRG Tanks | E-Cigarette Forum
Is there a similar issue w/ the Cerberus? Someone on reedit said it should work in a Cerberus w/o modification.
It's not the tank because a drop-in coil works fine.

The other is a Wismec R80 RBA installed in the R80 pod.
1st attempt, the Ohms were jumping all over. Tightened the screws more & the Ohms jumped only a little but, after a few puffs, the mod gave an atomizer short message. Triple-checked & nothing was touching what it shouldn't touch. i have a little Ohm reader & it didn't indicate a short; only the R80 did when i tried to fire it.

Tried building it again & it was even more confusing:
At first it worked ok. Showed .6 Ohms & fired well at 18W. The 2nd day, though, w/ a freshly charged battery, the mod said low battery after only a few puffs. Tried 2 other charged batteries, 1 the same type (Samsung 25R), 1 a different brand w/ different specs (Molicel P26A); the mod said low battery immediately w/ both.
A drop-in coil worked fine.
i'd built both coils from the wire included w/ the RBA.
There's one build video for it on Youtube that isn't helpful & nothing i could find here on ECF.

i've built a couple RTAs successfully so aren't totally clueless but am at a loss w/ these RBAs and will appreciate any advice or pointers anyone can offer.

Thank you.

Don't know if they'll be helpful but pics are attached. The one w/ an orange 0-ring is the Wismec.

I have read many threads in this forum about extracting nicotine from tobacco leaves...but I have a question before I start my experiment:
Does the nicotine produced by the extraction process give a throat hit , or does it just give a flavor?
If the answer is yes, can one of the experts present with us recommend the best and easiest way to do this?
with many thanks

I just wanted to say I'm glad that Dovpo has an open forum again here on ECF.
