DNA 60 Wire Gauge

I have a SqEvo, that I'm looking to repair, and I'm wondering if the wire used in it's original construction is appropriate.

It appears to be 18 gauge solid core enameled wire.

The mod in question has 10.8 hours on it according to EScribe and I suspect friction of the battery positive wire rubbing against the 510 while the button was being pressed, is the cause for the enamel being burnt off the wire.

Originally I was going to just desolder the Battery positive and put heat shrink over it, but then I started questioning the gauge of the wire used on the 510 + and the board ground.

Is 18 gauge solid core wire adequate for a DNA 60 positive 510 and the ground connection?

I've been looking through the Evolv datasheets and I'm left wondering, Did Evolv under or over spec the Wire for the DNA 60, DNA 75, DNA 200, and or the DNA 250, as they all have the same recommended wire sizes?

I'm not an electrical engineer, so any insight you can offer would be appreciated.

Update: I did get a response back from Evolv's technical support. They said that 18 gauge is sufficient for the output and ground at 60 watts. But never responded to my question about the DNA 60, 75, 200, and 250 all using the same wire specs.

Vandy Vape PR SE Kit - Review by Javichu (Sourcemore)

Hello there fellow vaperinos :)

Time for another review of a vaping apparatus,i like using the word ''apparatus'' it makes me seem smart,cultured and intelligent...sure hope so :D:D

I received this kit from Sourcemore for the purpose of this review.

This time i am stepping on to uncharted territory,i am about to use/review my first squonk apparatus.

Even thou i have never squonked before hence never pumped a bottle in a mod i did own a pair of Reebok sneakers when i was a kid so i am highly confident in my ''pumping'' skills.

3ZYVmYM.gif


Ok time to get serious.

All contents of the kit displayed so you can see what you get when you purchase the Vandy Vape PR SE Kit:

IMG_20210827_140718.jpg


(2 items missing from the picture,little baggie with 2 coils are incliuded and a small tool to help you lift the tab on the bottom cap when you are going to refill the squonk bottle)

Since this kit comes with the Pulse V2 Mod and the Requiem RDA i am going to do two separate reviews of each item but in the same post,will start with the Requiem RDA.

REQUIEM RDA.jpg



The Requiem RDA is an RDA designed by a fellow Spaniard ''El Mono Vapeador'' famous reviewer in Youtube here in Spain and in some countries of South/Central America.

Time to get a look of said RDA with some of its specifications:

04C340F5-F605-41D0-87E7-831F0FC5ACCC.jpeg


Full look at the deck of the Requiem RDA:


REQUIEM.7.jpg


The Requiem RDA comes with 3 different caps so you can use it in MTL/RDL or DL mode:


Vandy_Vape_Requiem_RDA_Airflow_Setting.jpg


Here you can see it in all its glory on top of the Vandy Vape Pulse V2:


IMG_20210818_163850.jpg


Package Contents:
1x Requiem RDA
1x Coil Guide 2,5mm
2x Fused Clapton Coil 2,5mm 0,26Ω
3x Caps air configuration
1x Accessory bag
1x User Manual



First impressions:

Tiny looking RDA but cute,adding the beauty ring it does give it a nice look.
Keep in mind it is a 22mm atty and it goes up to 24mm if you add the beauty ring (you can see the beauty ring in the last photo)

Removing the cap reveals the base which features some good ol' chunky flat top screws which makes it a breeze when it comes to installing the coils.

Setup (coil and wicking):

Truth be told i am a klutz...yeah you read right,usually takes me a long time to get the coil put in but in this case it was an easy task.

Same goes for the wicking,with new RDA/RTA i have to rewick a couple of times (at least) until i get it right...not in this case.
The wicking was flawless so after doing some pumping i was ready to give this bad boy a try.

Not a MTL vaper but to do a proper review i had to give it a try.
So i loaded up the bottle with some nic salts and started vaping...wow,very good flavor and a nice,nice i mean NICE hit.

But since i don't enjoy MTL that much take off the MTL cap and put in the RTL cap,kept the same nic salts and started.

Now this right here hit the spot...actually liked it so much i had to change the bottle and put in my usual none nic salt e-liquid at 4.5mg nic.
Filled the bottle all the way to the top and used it all day without even looking at my other everyday use atomizer.

The very next day when it was time for my first daily espresso and checking emails i decided to give the DL cap a try.

While it did give the ''true'' DL experience i didn't really enjoy it as much as the RDL cap,what can i say? I am more of a middle type of guy.
Somewhere between MTL and DL is my butter zone,that is where i truly enjoy my vaping experience.

With all 3 caps (MTL,RDL and DL) you can slighly adjust the airflow by rotating the outer ring but truth be told you can't really adjust that much.
If you really want to change lets say from DL to a more restricted vape you are better off just putting on the RDL cap.

Overall impressions:


Well made atomizer with a lot of versatility since you can just switch caps whenever you feel like it and change to whatever vaping style you are in the mood for.

Even thou i have never squonked there was no leaking...just one time and that was user error since i over pumped.

If you are a squonker and you're looking for a RDA with versatility that lets you switch vaping styles this is the RDA for you but if you're looking for a dripper i would recommend you look elsewhere,this atty just doesn't seem designed for that purpose.

Word of advice,if you have big chunky and sexy lips like mine the drip tip on the cap for DL mode will not work for you.
This was a major con for me,tried using it and when i went to puff i basically covered the airflow holes with my lips.
Doesn't seem like a big deal,you can just use another drip tip that is a bit taller but aesthetically wise the atty will lose its unique look.
The drip tip that comes with the DL cap is just way,way...way to low.

PROS:


- Three airflow caps included (MTL,RDL,DL)
- Easy to build coil wise
- Good flavor and cloud production
- Wicking is easy
- Nice luxury high end look and quality for a good and fair price


CONS:

- DL drip tip is way to low...people with big lips will have to change the drip tip for a taller one.
- Tight Airflow Ring
- Top cap too tight is very tight,even if you lubricate the rings and difficult to turn or remove.
- RDA is noisy and whistles when used with the DL cap,not a deal breaker for me but some might find it annoying.


Ok so half of the review is done,now i am only left with the review of the Pulse V2.

But i am so tired,need a small 5 second break and maybe have a cocktail

Now that i am fully recuperated it is time to tackle on the review of the Pulse V2.


PULSE V2.jpg



Gotta be honest,never squonked before and since i like to do a proper review i had to watch some videos of the Pulse V2 so i would know how to put it all together and how to operate it.

Let us start with a nice picture so you can see the color schemes available for the Pulse V2:

all_6_colors_ml.jpg


SPECIFICATIONS:

Size: 82.3mm x 28.4mm x 54.7mm
Power Range: 5-95W
Single 21700/20700/18650 Battery
Power, TC, TCR, Bypass, VPC Modes

Operating Voltage: 3.2-4.2V
Output Voltage: 0.5-6.0V
Maximum Ouput Current Protecion: <34A

Contents pertaining the mod:
-1 x Pulse V2 Mod

-1 x 18650 Battery Adapter
-2 x 7ml Squonk Bottles
-1 x Type-C Cable
-1 x Metal tool to lift the tab of the filling cap
-1 x Instruction Manual
-1 x Proper User Guidance
-1 x Warranty Card



First impressions:


First of all i have to say i am not a fan of plastic mods,rubber on the outside is ok (loved my JACKAROO) so i was a bit hesitant of this mod.

But once i had it in my hand i was put the ease,even thou i am not a fan of the material i did like the way it was made.

Well rounded edges and it fit nicely in my hand so nothing to worry about,i was ready to get started.

Pulse V2 Button Combinations

-Turn the Pulse V2 On or Off: Press the fire button 5 times.
-Change Modes: Press the fire button 3 times and then use the adjustment buttons to select your mode. Press the fire button to confirm your mode.
-Adjust settings in your current mode: Press the fire button 4 times.
-Enter the Menu: Hold the up and down adjustment buttons.
-Lock the mod: Hold the + adjustment button and fire button together.
-Flip the Screen: Hold the – adjustment button and fire button together.
-Stealth Mode: Hold both adjustment buttons and the fire button together.


My Requiem RDA was all primed and ready so it was time to try out the Pulse V2.
(atomizer size the Pulse V2 can fit up to a 26 mm atomizer without overhang)

I put in the 21700 Battery (Perhaps user error but i did scrape off some of the wrap on the battery)
Due to its bottom filling design the squonk bottle was filled with no hassle nor excess of liquid.
Screw in the cap and you ready to go.

First time squonker so i removed the top cap to see how much pumping i would need to keep the wick nice and wet.

Good feature (don't know if other squonk mods have it) is that once you release the pressure off the squonk bottle the excess of the e-liquid will go back in the bottle...awesome right?

I have used the Pulse V2 for about a week and haven't had any deal breaking issues.
It is a well designed and contructed squonking apparatus that does its job.

Was a bit worried about the panels but after a week of use i have to say i had no problems with them.
Magnets are strong and kept the panels in their place and well adjusted,no wobbly wibbly action with any of the 2 panels.

This device also has a TC mode but i haven't tested that since i have always been a vaper who just uses wattage mode.
So i can't really comment on the performance of TC mode.

Also this mod comes with a feature that lets you control certain aspects of your mod with an app called ''The Vandy App'' which you can find for Android and IPhone.

Since i don't own a smartphone i was unable to use this app but i have read a lot of other reviews and some people have used it with some conectivity problems.

If you are techy techy kinda person i guess this app is for you but for me personally it is just easier to use the mod itself to change for example the wattage i am using at the moment.

I was a bit afraid stepping my toes into the squonking scene since i never did it before but this mod just made my transition so much easier than i thought.

Pros:

-Water resistant and easy to clean
-You can swap the panels for customization
-Great build quality
-Nice compact size and lightweight
-Color and very bright screen


Cons:

- TC mode is not up to par
- Problems with app connectivity
(the above cons i have not experienced personally but i had heard from other reviewers,just thought i would post it as a disclaimer)



Would i recommend the Pulse V2?

Well for a newbie the answer would have to be most definitely,it was so easy to setup and get started with it that all my previous worries were just cast aside.

For a experienced squonker? well i can't really answer that question since this is the first time i tried a squonk mod.

If you are interested in purchasing this kit feel free to use this code supplied to me by the people of Sourcemore:

$50.88 - Vandy Vape PR SE Kit
Code: PRSEK

Thanks again to @Ema from Sourcemore for sending me this kit for the purpose of the review,much appreciated.

Ok so that is it folks,this was quite a lengthy review but i hope you enjoyed reading it.

Closed/Sold Voopoo Drag X

This is in like new condition in original box with everything it comes with when new.
I took it as a trade and realized its too much for me to use.
Both original coils are in the box and the person I got it from told me he had only tried it for a few minutes and found it to be too airy - it's more of a DTL device. I didn't even try it, most of my vaping is with Juul and I could tell it wasn't a match for me. There are MTL coils and even MTL pods on the market, but I don't have them. You'll need a 18650 battery, none is included. $25 shipped USPS Priority Mail. Paypal payment with no mention of anything remotely to do with vaping please.

New SMOK Arrivals - Morph Pod-80 Kit & Morph S Pod-80 Kit

Hey guys. Today let's check out the Morph Pod-80 Kit and Morph S Pod 80 Kit. They were just launched by SMOK and look very similar to each other. Here we go!

As we said, the Morph Pod-80 and Morph S Pod-80 are almost the same in design, and their difference in size is also very slight. The only notable difference is the batteries they use, the Morph Pod-80 is powered by a built-in 3000mAh battery, while the Morph S Pod-80 requires an external 18650 battery. Both kits have an output range from 5-80W and can be charged via a Type-C USB port. Use-wise, they have a large side fire key, a clear OLED screen, and two up/down buttons. Near the top of mod there is an air switch and two air inlets, so the airflow can be precisely adjusted to achieve the desired flavor. Moreover, multiple safety protections are provided to avoid potential risks.

As for the Morph Pod 80 LP2 pod included in both kits, it has a capacity 5mLand its specially designed base can lock the e-liquid and the condensate generated during vaping. The top filling system makes refilling a breeze, no need to pull out the pod, which is convenient and prevents leakage. The LP2 pod is compatible with all LP2 coils, with purchase you will get a preinstalled LP2 Meshed 0.23ohm DL Coil and a spare LP2 Meshed 0.4ohm Coil. The added silicone rings on the bottom of the coils would fill the gap, effectively stemming the liquid leaking from the pod.

Newbie question. May have missed this somewhere else

New to vaping. Looking to get off cigarettes. And tired of $20 disposables every 2 days. Bought the voopoo drag x. Looking to go with the mouth to ling setup, using 1.0 ohm PnP coil rated for between 10-15 watts. My question is for the battery. Is there a specific battery outside of just 18650 that I should be looking for? Searched the internet. But couldn’t find any real useful info on this that made sense to me. The battery I have now is (hohmlife 4) what it says on battery - ..16ohms (lowest resistance), 31.5 amp max, 3015 mAh, 63w - 85w max

Back again! I think? Looking for cheapest coils!

Hey guys!

I think I've been a member on this forum like a decade ago - but really have no idea with what username, email or whatever. So, a new account! Hi!

Switched to vaping in 2010 and a happy vaper since!
Used to vape the KR808D with those good old cotton atomizers, then in 2016 switched to eLeaf iCare and currently using the iCare2.

The coils for the iCare1 & 2 are very cheap (like $10 for 5 coils), but neither the iCare nor the coils are being sold anymore. :( I love my iCare - it's fantastic.

So, I'm forced to switch to a new brand/model.
Many of the current vapes come with a pod, which is rather expensive. I don't need that. Just want to replace my coil every few weeks.

Can any of you suggest a vape that:
- is small (like, pocket size - max 10cm high/long)
- doesn't produce huge clouds
- has cheap coils (or pods, if really no other option)

I don't need anything fancy.

Thank you in advance!

VAPORESSO XROS MINI Review

I received XROS MINI from vaporesso for the purpose of this review.
VAPORESSO XROS MINI colors:

- Black
- Space Grey
- Silver
- Grape Purple
- Orange Red
- Lime Green

vJHJDiv.jpg



Specifications:

- Dimensions: 98.9*23.4*13.5mm
- Pod Capacity: 2ml
- Pod Specification: 1.2ohm Pod (included), 0.8ohm Pod (not included, compatible)
- Output Wattage: 11W/16W
- Battery Capacity: 1000mAh
- Charging: Type-C, 5V/1A

In the box:

1* Vaporesso XROS Mini Battery
1* Vaporesso XROS Series 1.2ohm Pod 2ml
1* Type-C USB Cable
1* User Manual
1* Warranty Card


wFdajnZ.jpg




Vaporesso xros mini is nice and small pod device, since it is very small it is comfortable for using in my opinion. This device comes in package where you will receive one pod. Pod comes in few different colors and you have really nice choice. Build quality is good and in my opinion this version is better than previous one.


8WSzMee.jpg



So with this device you will receive one pod with 2ml capacity which is really good for small device like this one. This device is compatible with pods from previous version which is really good. From the top side you can see the mouthpiece and mouthpiece is realyl comfortable for using. To fill the pod you need to take off the mouthpiece and when you take it off you can see the fill hole, you can fill it pretty much easy. From the bot of the pod you can see magnets and magnets are good, pod stays really nice in place on this device. For this device you can buy two different pods, you can buy 1.2ohm pod and 0.8ohm mesh pod, in the package you will receive 1.2ohm coil.


4FKt3g7.jpg

8im4BG0.jpg

DiuAXQF.jpg




On the top of the device you can see slot for the pod and as I said pod stays really nice in place. Also you can see here airflow hole. I would like to say that everything here is done really good which is nice because condensation will not get inside the device. This device is without fire button, but it has draw automatic switch that works really well. This device has built in 1000mah battery which is better than on previous device. On the device you can see usb c port which is great and you can charge the battery pretty much fast. On the device you can also see led light which is battery indicator, we have green light here which means that battery is full, blue light that indicates medium battery and red light that shows that battery is empty. This device has constant working mode which is really good and it works at 11 or 16w depends on the coil you are using.



BtgK7nb.jpg

cVnyVUv.jpg

Y2KxvuE.jpg








My thoughts:

So, vaporesso xros mini is in my opinion better device than previous one, this device is pretty small, comfortable for using and build quality of the device is good. This device comes in package where you will receive only one cartridge which is con in my opinion. Mouthpiece is comfortable for using and you can fill the pod really fast and easy. Pod also stays really nice in place and everything here is done really well. Capacity is 2ml which is really good for small device like this one. We don't have airflow adjustment here but airflow is great, with 1.2ohm coil you will get restrictive mtl draw. I didn't try 0.8ohm coil here. Draw activated switch works really well and it is responsive. Battery is also good, 1000mah battery. We have usb type c port and we can charge the battery really fast. In my opinion 1.2ohm coil works really good, I like pods from vaporesso because draw is really tight and good and flavor is also good. All in all, if you are searching to buy simple yet very good pod, I can suggest you this one.


Cons:

- Only one pod in the package


Pros:

- Small and comfortable
- Good mouthpiece
- Easy to fill
- Very good airflow
- Good flavor
- Slot is done well
- 1000mah battery
- Usb c port
- Good draw activated switch
- Battery indicator
- Compatible with pods from previous device

Thanks VAPORESSO

The Innokin COOLFIRE Z80 with Zenith II Kit Review by Uncle


Well Now – Originally this review for the Innokin Coolfire Z80 and Zenith II was started and supposedly to be post quite awhile ago; however there had been an interruption midway through writing the review due to unforeseen circumstances – a visit to the Emergency Room and a stay at the Hospital – I wasn’t able to complete it at the time. So after recouping somewhat and back in the game, I thought I would complete it as it was first written, add some of the finishing touches, and post the review. I hope you will find it informative, interesting and even humorous now given some of the content . . . So without further ado . . .

The Innokin COOLFIRE Z80 with Zenith II Kit

Zzk4IOi.jpg


First - The Disclaimer: I am not a professional writer, nor professional reviewer of any products/product lines. Over the past few years - the only reviews or suggestions I have made were at the time which I believed I could provide information or add something to the conversation. What’s more important, anything I said was – or will say, is – “My” Personal Opinion . . .


BTW: As usual when testing any vaping equipment I use my ADV of Unflavored 50/50 24 NIC w/Koolada (sometimes 1-2 Drops of “Menthol Crystal Liquid) added to provide a "Cooling" Menthol effect. Also, I evaluated any equipment based on “My” experiences after using numerous different products for the past 9 years, first as a dual user then becoming a full-time vapor 2 years ago.


By now people know, I do not just jump on a product to just write a review without taking the time to actually test it fully – anywhere from a week, possibly 2 or 3 weeks or even more . . . So - For anyone interested in a more formal description and specifications about this product should check these links about the Innokin - COOLFIRE Z80 with Zenith II Kit:

CoolFire Z80 Zenith II - Vape Kit | INNOKIN®



This is not a “normal” review” as some, however if you want to know what it is to experience this product from a personal perspective – “MINE” - then we’re good.



YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE:

- Innokin COOLFIRE Z80 with Zenith II Kit –



NOW ! ! !


Now back to the review . . .



First impression:


When I opened the box, I wasn’t sure I actually got an Innokin COOLFIRE . . . At first; as an owner of previous versions of Innokin’s Coolfire line of products - I noticed this Coolfire was different immediately. If it wasn’t for the “Innokin” & “Coolfire Z80” imprints on either side of the “metal” alloy banding I would not have known. That was until I took a much closer look and took my time checking everything out and putting this Coolfire Z80 thru its paces.

hlb39R0.jpg


I found the Coolfire Z80 just slightly smaller in height visually and lighter in weight in feel then previous Coolfires. But every bit the same in quality and design as previous models.


WD5O5Nd.jpg


The appearance of this Coolfire Z80 (Ash Grey) is very easy on the eye and quite elegant looking overall. With the contrasting slick alloy metal frame, glossy smooth screen/control area, and “suede” wrap of the Coolfire feels and fits very well in the palm of my hand – very comfortable. And top it off with a matching “Gun-Metal” tank (preferably the New Zenith II that comes with the kit). IMHO – it’s a Mod “dressed to the nines” even if you are not. More importantly, like many of the Innokin products you do not have to assume it is a quality product by just looking at it – because once you start using it you will notice it is quite solid and well made. Which brings me to the actual operation of the Coolfire Z80 . . .

However - First and Foremost, before I get into any of the “nitty-gritty” , I would be remised if I did not mention – without a doubt – read the instructs and “Warning & Safety” booklet that comes with the Coolfire Z80, especially the warning concerning “Pace Makers” . . . Just Sayin’. It should also be noted, that an external “FLAT-TOP” 18650 battery is NEEDED to use the Coolfire Z 80.​


Now with that out of the way, even if you have used any version of a Coolfire before, the Coolfire Z80 is a different mod and a little more than you might expect with the 4th Generation Vaping Technology incorporated to the function of the MOD (see Coolfire Z80 details & spec’s). The same can be said about the New Zenith II tank with its improvements (which will be discussed later in the review). This can be a very good or bad thing depending on your perspective and what you want from a MOD and/or Tank.

Now, as for an actual test using the COOLFIRE Z80 with the new Zenith II and putting them thru their paces . . .

Really like that the Coolfire Z80 uses a replaceable external 18650 Battery. I found the Coolfire Z80 quite easy to use, whether or not you have Coolfires previously; the fire button, + up - down controls and usb are locate on the LC Screen and are very accessible. Even the Menu options are bright and clear when outside in direct sunlight. Everything you would expect from a quality Innokin product.

Personally I was determined to “Test” the Coolfire Z80 as it was sent, using the 4th Generation Vaping Technology at 80Mz & 10 Watts and the Zenith II 0.8 ohm mesh coil preinstalled.

Filled the new Zenith II with my ADV and set off for a new experience. YEA – Right . . . Let’s just say within 3 hours, the “Fo” was switched to “Power”. Let me explain . . . When the “Fo” Technology is activated I feel a slight “Current”/”Vibration” running through the vapor when inhaling – it’s unsettling to me to say the least - just as it was the first time I tried using the “Fo” mode in the Innokin Sensis. Now don’t get me wrong, I am sure for some people they may not notice, but I did. The other thing is I really don’t NEED to use the “Fo” mode – I neither use a strong e-liquid flavor that would “junk-up” a coil or to use it to possibly enhance the flavor of an e-liquid. NOR – To extend the life of the Z-Coils. AS almost everyone knows by now is that the Innokin coils I use, including the Z coils & Sceptre coils already last "Me" anywhere from 60-90 + days each (approximately 3 months before having to change out). Also I have an Ultra Sonic Cleaner that I use when NEEDED to refresh coils to reuse later. The new "Fo" technology (including the Coil + & Refresh options), while may be a great option for those who use flavored E-Liquid, especially one that “gunk’s-up” coils, in reality does nothing to improve the coils/vapor and my vaping experience in the long run

However, once I got the Coolfire Z80 set to wattage, I kept using the 0.8 oHm mesh coil in the Zenith II and still am (been approximately 2 weeks now – amazing isn’t it). Also, I will say this, I noticed that when using the 0.8 oHm mesh coil there is a difference in both vapor “taste” and TH. In addition, it seems I can even vape at a lower wattage (7 w) or higher (15 w) without the unflavored NIC e-liquid I use tasting like old burnt tobacco as it has in the past when using a sub-ohm coils. Even played around with increasing the wattage up to 20w, with no major problems – just not for me. However, will I continue using the 0.8 oHm coils? Maybe/Maybe not, if I had the 0.8 oHm mesh coils - I might use them, just not going to make a special purchase of them when I mainly use 1.2/1.6 oHm Z-coils. AND – As for the 0.3 oHm coils – tried did not like – NOPE – NA DA – NOT HAPPENING.


Which brings me to the New Zenith II tank . . .

jBftkeQ.jpg

What a difference and pleasure a few adjusts/improvements make to a product you already enjoy using. The Zenith II has a few very noticeable changes to its appearance and function, while maintaining what I (and many others) found positive with its original design. While the differences might be somewhat minor to some, IMHO - the "improvements" do make a noticeable change of refinements for the better - at least for "Me" as a MTL "Tootle Puffer"

0EbAjID.jpg

gcyNwnT.jpg


So what are the differences that you might not notice at first:

The Size of the Fill ring and Airflow ring. They are both slightly “chunkier” and have an intermittent raised “wave” that allows for a much better “grip’ when turning the rings open and close. The Airflow ring is even easier to set to your preferred opening without any “slipping” while using or when carrying in a pocket/bag. Can set to the lowest opening for limited airflow “MTL” and it stay’s where you put it until you want to open it up more and the same can be said for those who want to open the airflow all the way for a very airy draw for “DL”.

Next is the Silicone gasket that covers the fill hole – what a very smart concept - you insert the tip of your e-liquid bottle nozzle through the slit to fill the tank. I was able to fill the Zenith II tank with no mess whatsoever. Can’t tell ya’ how many times I didn’t realize that I was about to overfill, or the fill hole ring wasn’t closed all the way or opened without my knowing to have e-liquid flowing out of the fill hole.

DSPZ2UG.jpg

Replaceable Pyrex Glass for Tank . . . Glass tubing does break every so often and when it does, tanks that are ‘sealed’ can only be thrown away. – NOT NICE ! ! ! And can be very expensive. Thankfully Innokin listen and heard their consumers – enough said.

Replaceable/Interchangeable Drip Tip . . . What can I say . . . While having a Drip Tip attaché to a tank might be covenant for some, I find it very annoying, especially when I don’t like the style or design and trying to clean any tank. Thankfully Innokin Design Team rethought this when “upgrading’ the Zenith to the Zenith II and you can now remove the Drip Tip to one you prefer using be it for “MTL” or “DL” – even your favorite Drip Tip from another manufacturer. Personally, I like the Innokin Drip Tips available (including the delrin’s for “MTL”), however when in the mood I use a Pyrex Glass Drip Tip at times too.​


Talk about an improvement, the not so slight modifications made to the Zenith II really enhance the MTL "Vaping" experience for “Me” . . . Cool and "Refreshing" - especially using 1.2 & 1.6 oHm Z-coils at a lower wattage 10 Watts . . . Matter of fact, I haven't put the Zenith II down since the day I got it set up and running.


The results overall:

Although there have been a few times I have not “liked”, or actually find a product that I would use, or even something does not meet my expectations – the Innokin Coolfire Z80 & Zenith II is not one of them.


Without a doubt Innokin is producing more - WINNERS - The Coolfire Z80 and Zenith II get’s Uncle’s stamp of approval and is another Innokin product that I whole heartily recommend to all Vapors alike . . . :thumbs:



( Okay Now – Before anyone makes any comments, Once again, it will sometimes take “Me” quite awhile to write up and edit a review; so if “You” find any mistakes in grammar, punctuation, or spelling – get over it, I’m not a professional writer . . . Just Sayin’ . . . :rolleyes: }

Replaceable Pyrex Glass for Tank . . . Glass tubing does break every so often and when it does, tanks that are ‘sealed’ can only be thrown away. – NOT NICE ! ! ! And can be very expensive. Thankfully Innokin listen and heard their consumers – enough said.

Replaceable/Interchangeable Drip Tip . . . What can I say . . . While having a Drip Tip attaché to a tank might be covenant for some, I find it very annoying, especially when I don’t like the style or design and trying to clean any tank. Thankfully Innokin Design Team rethought this when “upgrading’ the Zenith to the Zenith II and you can now remove the Drip Tip to one you prefer using be it for “MTL” or “DL” – even your favorite Drip Tip from another manufacturer. Personally, I like the Innokin Drip Tips available (including the delrin’s for “MTL”), however when in the mood I use a Pyrex Glass Drip Tip at times too.​


Talk about an improvement, the not so slight modifications made to the Zenith II really enhance the MTL "Vaping" experience for “Me” . . . Cool and "Refreshing" - especially using 1.2 & 1.6 oHm Z-coils at a lower wattage 10 Watts . . . Matter of fact, I haven't put the Zenith II down since the day I got it set up and running.


The results overall:

Although there have been a few times I have not “liked”, or actually find a product that I would use, or even something does not meet my expectations – the Innokin Coolfire Z80 & Zenith II is not one of them.


Without a doubt Innokin is producing more - WINNERS - The Coolfire Z80 and Zenith II get’s Uncle’s stamp of approval and is another Innokin product that I whole heartily recommend to all Vapors alike . . . :thumbs:



( Okay Now – Before anyone makes any comments, Once again, it will sometimes take “Me” quite awhile to write up and edit a review; so if “You” find any mistakes in grammar, punctuation, or spelling – get over it, I’m not a professional writer . . . Just Sayin’ . . . :rolleyes: }

Battery model help

Hi, so I have purchased the Gen S.
Batteries, as I'm sure some people may agree are a little confusing, anywho- I took a trip into my local vape store as I thought that may be my safest option. I was sold AWT IMR 3500mAh 35A 3.7V, will these be safe to use in the Gen S?
I have attempted some of my own research, but thought guidance here may be useful!

Thanks!

IJOY Captain Link Mod - Review

Hi ECF members, In this review I take a look at the Captain Link 100w Mod from IJoy. The IJOY Captain Link Mod was supplied for the purpose of this review by Sourcemore.

IJOY Captain Link Mod 100W Box Mod single 18650/21700

jACMSos.jpg



Introduction

To my recollection it was IJoy who first started regularly releasing 20700 swiftly followed by 21700 devices back at a time when batteries were included because the likelihood was it would be the first device someone had bought accommodating such batteries but it wasn't long before the 21700 became as popular as the 18650 (and preferred by most)!

The IJoy Captain Link Mod takes the successful "Captain" title probably for no other reason than it will increase sales which is something which seems to be a regular ploy by most manufacturers of late either just cashing in on a successful name or maybe simply a fact they are struggling for original names!

The Captain Link Mod is an ergonomic single 100w device which offers Variable Wattage and full TC suite and allows the display colour to be customised to be one of 4 colours. The IJoy Captain Mod is quite large compared to the more compact single 21700 devices of late but is aesthetically pleasing and features an old school bottom battery plate and 25mm 510 plate up top, let's crack on and check out the Captain Link Mod from IJoy!

1* Manual
1* Warranty Card

Aesthetics and Ergonomics

The Captain Link Mod came in cardboard box packaging with outer cardboard sleeve, we have a raised picture of the device in the chosen colour on the front and Specs, contents etc on the reverse. I received the Blue version which I picked because it's such a nice shade, the options are Black, Stainless Steel, Blue, Red or Green.

The main chassis is Zinc Alloy and Black in colour then the chosen colour refers to the rear bracket and matching buttons. The curved bracket employs an "X" design on the spine area giving 4 separate sections which has substantial Silicone pieces with aggressive grooved texture for grip. Simply because this is a single battery device, curvy and those added Silicone grips makes this a delight to carry about and fire despite being large compared to most single 21700 devices released of late!


Comparison between Foxy One and OBS Engine!

We have a slightly curved face with Zinc Alloy square protruding buttons matching the colour of the bracket. The square fire button positioned towards the top isn't the largest but protrudes nicely, towards the bottom we have the matching smaller square navigational buttons lined up vertically which is followed by the Type C USB port, the screen is positioned between the fire and lower buttons!

On the chassis one side towards the bottom we have "Captain LINK" printed with the "Captain" in a nice signature style font. At the base we have an old school style battery plate with fold out lever then moving up top we have a 25mm Stainless Steel 510 plate that's screwed on to the main chassis and has etched safety stamps, the 510 is Gold plated and spring loaded. The device is a looker in my opinion and solidly built but when shaking vigorously I did get the slightest of fire button rattle which although pointing out really isn't going to occur during normal use so not worth dwelling on!

Installing The battery

The IJoy Captain Link will accommodate either a 20700, 21700 or with the included adaptor an 18650 which gets fitted via the bottom of the device. We have an old school screw in battery plate with fold out lever which is sturdy and screws in and out of position smoothly, when the lever is folded outwards to use for turning 3 good sized venting holes are revealed.

Orientation is marked vibrantly at the bottom of the tube and in White on the underside of the plate and once secured we get absolutely no battery rattle (I tried both a 21700 and 18650 battery)! I do wish the battery fit was a little bit more snug though as the tube is far wider than it needs to be so you get a lot of battery movement from side to side until the plate is secured, for this reason I really wish the 18650 adaptor was the usual full sleeve version rather than the little stumpy one that just fits over the end of the battery!

The Display

The display is very bright and colourful with the options to both change the colour of the main accents and alter brightness!

Central top we have the battery status bar then underneath a circular colourful design. Within this circular design we have the mode then underneath either the wattage or temperature depending which mode you are in! Below the wattage or temperature but still within the circular design we have vape duration left and the 3 digit puff counter to the right.

Below the central circular design at the bottom of the display we first have the resistance followed below with the voltage which will be wattage instead if using TC mode!

_________________________________________________________________________



Navigating The Captain Link Mod

The Captain Link is the usual 5 clicks of the fire button to turn on and off and once on pressing both navigational buttons together locks the whole device so it also will not fire (don't like this)! Pressing either fire and up or fire and down together brings up the brightness bar which can then be altered up or down from 0 to 100% using the navigational buttons, either pressing fire or no activity for 2 seconds takes you back to the main working screen!

3 quick clicks of the fire button highlights the mode which can be changed by clicking the navigational buttons or pressing fire will take you to an item on the screen that can be altered allowing puffs to be reset (although they only go to 999 before resetting anyway) or when in TC locking resistance and setting wattage.

The modes are Power (variable wattage), Theme (allows the main accents on the screen to be either Red, Yellow, Blue or Green), Memory (can set 4 different profiles), TC-TCR, Ti, SS and finally Ni.

When altering wattage it adjusts from 5w to 100w in point 1 increments with single presses and 1w increments with a button held down, it doesn't round robin. When in TC the temperature unit round robins between Celsius and Fahrenheit, Celsius adjusts in 5 degree increments from 150 degrees to 300 degrees and Fahrenheit adjusts in 10 degree increments from 300 to 600 degrees!

The device is simple to navigate which is a good job really as the manual comes in about a million languages but it doesn't matter what your native tongue is because it's useless and doesn't even tell you how to change modes, in fact the only thing it tells you about the operation of the device is that 5 clicks is on and off and that's it, do us a favour IJoy save some trees and don't bother! Also something I find quite funny but again is not good enough is when in memory mode the display say's "Momery"!!!!!!!!!

Charging

As usual I would encourage to charge externally but if you do need to charge in the device we have a type C USB connection and 1.5A charge rate! While charging a charging progress bar is displayed within a circular design, the Captain Link Mod supports upgrades but not pass through vaping!

_________________________________________________________________________



My Thoughts!

Despite the Captain Link Mod being larger and heavier than other recent single 21700 devices I have reviewed I sill found it to feel great in the hand and love the Silicone grips which are substantial! I really like the colourful bright display and how easy it is to navigate, I also like how both the brightness and colour accents can be adjusted.

However I don't like how unnecessarily large the battery compartment is and the manual is garbage! I also wish this would reduce top wattage to a realistic 80w for an 18650 battery. Another big con is that you can't just lock the navigational buttons but only the whole device which i can do anyway with 5 clicks of the fire button and if there is a way that I just haven't found then the manual isn't going to help me! The only other petty con is the wattage doesn't round robin although temperature does!

The buttons have quite some travel but give a definite yet quite quiet click which I like, when firing there is no delay and I had no performance issues whatsoever although if you use TC you will need to do further research. The puff counter doesn't reset when swapping out batteries and it also remembers your last setting which I like, although we have a puff counter which can be reset manually it is only 3 digits so after 999 it will automatically reset! One last major pro is the battery plate which is quality with a sturdy lever which reveals venting when folded out and the threading is really nice!

With all the cons I have I still found I really am liking this mod possibly for it's aesthetic looks, ergonomic feel and it's been performing like a trooper!

If you need to charge in the device we have a Type C USB connection and upgrades are supported but pass through vaping isn't accommodated. Finally up top we can fit 27mm atomisers with no overhang which is above par for a single battery device!
