a couple of weeks ago I bought the Hellvape Fat Rabbit RTA and have been fighting with leaking issues, it is my first RTA, and know they can be finicky. Wondering if anyone has experience with this RTA and can help me out, I think it has to do with the wicking but if I use too much cotton I get dry hits but if I reduce it I get leaks out of the bottom airflow hole.

Any insights will be appreciated! thx

I was wondering if I should buy this company and this flavor, the company is Puffin and the E-juice flavor is American Tobacco. Has anyone ever tried this particular flavor from this brand? Seems very interesting. Please let me know. Thank you so much

Hi all.
So I've been vaping for a good while now but not MTL.
My question is: Would fully closed airflow, on low wattage, burn the coil quicker? Meaning, having to change that coil earlier than usual.
That question came up to my mind when I switched hardware. I was on non-adjustable airflow (let's call it H1) and now I'm on adjustable one (this one will be H2). The H1 had pretty big airflow for a MTL device but 0.8ohm coil lasted me over 2 weeks. Then I bought the 0.8ohm coil for H2 and I tasted burnt after 1 week with airflow fully closed. Of course I did change liquids which could make a big impact on that, but let's start with airflow first.
I hope that makes some sense
Any replies would be appreciated.

UNBOXING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS


I knew that the device was going to be a real looker from the pictures I had seen of the device and pod/tank combo but after opening the package that's pretty standard with the mod and pod/tank in their own sections and the pod/tank wrapped in plastic, paper materials along with the charge cord and coils underneath, my expectations were exceeded. On the left side of the device I POWER is printed in a handwritten style that's different but looks in place for the device's appearance. Leather is beginning to become the norm on devices now and the ISICK POWER2's two-toned leather brings something different.








Starting out with the pod/tank, Eleaf changed things up a bit with the GTL that at first glance looks like your standard pod as so many company's use and it is for the most part.

The 4.5ml capacity is good and coils are a push in type that can go into the pod any way, there are no flat spots that need to line up.

Filling the pod is done as most through the bottom by popping open a rubber plug, some pods can be a pain getting the plug to open having no place to get a good grasp but the plug on the GTL has a little bit of a lip cut into it making it very easy to slip a fingernail into and the rubber is much beefier than most others assuring a long lifespan.

There are 3 magnets that hold the pod into the 510 adaptor that attaches to the device, they hold the pod in well but I would have liked to see 4 instead of 3.

There is a small drop symbol on the plugs position that pops open with a arrow pointing to it under the open marking. Even the attachment point of the plug is beefier than most.









There's a feature that the 510 adaptor has that is a very nice one, if you have Voopoo PNP and TPP pods, the pods are interchangeable with one another and fit inside the adaptor just fine, just the pods ( not the coils ).

Airflow is the other different feature on the GTL pod, it has dual airflow slots that have the cyclops opening for both slots as all do but also has 5 small holes all of which are the same size.

I really like the additional holes for a more precise airflow adjustment that also adds a little bit more warmth to the vape.

You can mix the holes into the cyclops slot as well to further tailor the airflow adjustment. This is the fist time I have used the GTL pod and although it's on the loud side I really like it.

The supplied coils are a 0.4Ω mesh rated for ( 20-30w ) and a 0.8Ω round wire rated for (12-18w ). I really like the 0.4Ω coil for flavor ( very good ) but the 0.8Ω coil unless used in a RDL vape is a wasted coil in my opinion.

You can't get a good MTL vape from the GTL pod because the mouthpiece opening is to wide and it's built into the pod so it can't be changed for a more narrow one, Another 0.4Ω coil should have been included instead of the 0.8Ω coil.

The leather wrap of both colors really make the device stand out and bring such a upscaled very classy look to it.

The leather is very soft and has some cushion feel to it, stitching is very well done as well. On one side of the device I POWER is printed while ELEAF is printed on the other side where the charge port is located.

Instead of using block styled lettering Eleaf decided to use a hand written signature look on the device, it's very small as you can see but in still not sure that I agree with the look, some days I like it other days I don't.









The mods 510 connection is off centered but works in the looks department, I don't know if it being centered would make that much of a difference.

The 510 pin has a good amount of travel to it but every atomizer that I put on it had the tiniest gap, you really have to hold it up and look for it to see it so no big deal I just need to mention it.

The end opposite the 510 slopes down and is rounded like every corner on the device making it very comfortable holding in any position.





The bottom plate of the device is held in place with 3 screws and has 3 battery ventilation holes, what's nice is ELEAF made a very small indentation in the bottom plate where the ventilation holes are located which helps prevent any liquid from entering the device if say it was set down on a table that had condensation from a drink.





The leather wrap travels around the device almost, completely covering the spine and has that rich leather feel to it, I'm not sure that it's real leather but it sure feels like it is.





For you folks that use temperature control this device is a no go having only wattage, smart wattage and Voltage modes to choose from.

I do have a issue with the Smart Wattage feature in this device and I'll explain why, Smart Wattage is supposed to place you in a safe recommended wattage without being higher than the maximum wattage for the coil being used.

In Smart Wattage mode when a coil is detected it does place you in a safe recommended wattage and should not let you exceed the maximum wattage for that coil but the Power 2 will allow you to go to the maximum wattage of this device 80 watts. ( NOT VERY SMART ) so don't think it's going to stop you from exceeding the maximum wattage for a coil.

Regular Wattage mode works just fine with a instant fire needing no ramp up time or pre-set needed.

There are 4 accent colors for the display screen to choose from Blue, Green, Purple and Red and they are vibrant and deep as well as being bright. Font size could be bigger because I struggle to see the puff counter at times.




DISPLAY SCREEN LAYOUT

* Battery Bar

* Lock/Unlock Symbol

* Wattage/Voltage

* Animation Meter

* Mode

* Ohms

* Puff Counter

* Seconds Vaped


The main features of this device is the 5000mAh Internal Lipo battery, killer looks and being very lightweight for it's size. Being able to switch between Voopoo pods is also a very big plus, I wish you could swap coils though because I really like mixing the airflow settings with the combination of holes and the cyclops slot on the GTL pod. Don't get me wrong the GTL coils are very good but I think the PNP coils are better.

I will tell you that this battery will far exceed your expectations because it has mine. Remember this is a simple wattage/voltage only device with a pod that performs very well and carrying outside is no problem because it's fairly lightweight.

Menu operation is another plus because it's so easy to navigate it.


MENU

* On/off - 5 Quick Presses Of The Fire Button

* Wattage Adjustment Lock/Unlock - 3 Quick Presses Of The Fire Button

* Stealth On/Off - Press The Fire Button And The Down Button Simultaneously

* Get Into The Menu - Press And Hold The Up And Down Buttons Simultaneously

* Once In The Menu Use The Up And Down Buttons To Move Along And The Fire Button To Open The Selection You Chose


I would like to give a thumbs up to Eleaf on the development of the Power 2 Kit but a thumbs down on the Smart wattage feature, you should not be able to exceed the maximum wattage rated for the coil when in Smart mode.

Although now being used primarily as my only vape device in the time I had it during testing the battery just last and last, I was able to get 512 vapes using the 0.4Ω mesh coil before the battery was depleted.




Looks wise I think it's gorgeous and performance has been great aside from the Smart feature, flavor on the 0.4Ω mesh coil was very good and that's primarily the only coil I used because the mouthpiece of the GTL pod prevented me from getting a good MTL vape from the 0.8Ω coil, They should have included a 2nd 0.4Ω mesh coil instead.

With the 2 shortcomings aside I will tell you that I will continue using the Power 2 because I really love how attractive it is.

I would like to thank Joyi and Sourcemore for providing the Power 2 Kit for the purpose of this review and I hope that I answered all your questions .

THANK YOU

... the low availability right now of a lot of popular 18650 batteries? I've just been to 5 of the recommended battery retailers and all of them are completely out of most Samsung batteries, particularly the 30Qs. There is also very low availability of many other commonly used batteries. Anyone know what is going on?

I quite vaping in 2018. I decided to get back into it (ain't getting any younger, don't care to get much older... and I miss nicotine)
Anyway, I was mostly into drippers and squonkers, typically using 316L at around 0.3 ohms and Japanese organic make-up pads to make wicks.

So boys, girls and they (look at me, 65 and kinda 'woke')... what's new and wonderful that would fit into my kit?

Cheers... SoF

It’s good to be back. I guess I really never left. The review schedule has been very busy lately. This time I will be doing my best to cover the Freemax Marvos 80S. The Marvos is the third in the Marvos line of products that I’ve tested for review. First was the Marvos 80T tube style mod and then the Marvos 60 which is a more durable pod mod that uses the same tanks and coils as the 80T. Now comes the Marvos 80S which also is compatible with the same pods and coils but this one has a 510 connection and provides a 510 base for the pod so you have the option of either using the 4.5ml pods or you can use one of your own tanks on it. The 80S is being called a SBS(side by side) mod due to its design but to me isn’t necessarily what I consider a true SBS mod in the truest sense. Besides having the 510 connection it also uses a replaceable 18650 battery which adds convenience for the user.




WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

INITIAL THOUGHTS:

The packaging is what I’ve become very familiar with where the outer shell has a color picture of the device inside and slides off with a two part box underneath. Once the top is removed, the mod with tank installed is visible. One thing that I really liked was that Freemax put a ribbon under the tank so you can easily pull the ribbon to pull the mod and tank up from the foam insert. It can also be used to pull the foam up to access the spare parts pack which includes a second coil, USB-C charging/update cable, user manual and paperwork.

I very much like the appearance of the 80S. On the front/ screen side is of course the display screen with the + and – buttons below it and to the left on the padded imitation leather is the MARVOS S name stamped into the leather. On the bottom is the Freemax name and three battery vent holes.



The opposite side has no branding and you just see the gunmetal frame and the nice brown with the stitching that runs around the perimeter. I really like that there is minimal branding.



On the end opposite of the leather wrap is the fire button which is nice and clicky. It protrudes a little so it can be easily located. Near the bottom on the same side is the USB-C charging port.



On the top of the mod is the knurled threaded battery cap which is removed to install the necessary 18650 battery to power the unit. The threads on the one I received felt gritty when screwing the cap on with a battery inside. There isn’t a marking on the inside of the cap but there is a large red + symbol in the bottom of the battery tube. Also on top is the 510 connection plate that is held in by two torx screws and has a gold plated spring loaded center pin.







The display on the S is very easily readable and shows the following information top to bottom.

- Mode of operation and battery indicator

- Set wattage

- Voltage under load and coil resistance

- Puff counter

- Time of current puff

- Available color displays




The S adjusts in 1 watt increments and does not round robin. When 80 watts is reached then it just says Max Power. It does however scroll very fast if the + or – button is held down.

This mod only has three modes which are Power, Smart, and Bypass so there is no TC on this one which is kind of a shame since the coils are ss904. The button operations on the S are as follows:

- Press the fire button five times to turn the device on or off

- Press the fire button three times to switch between the three modes

- Press the fire button and – button to change the display color

- Press the fire button and the + button to reset the puff counter

- Press the + and – buttons to lock the wattage adjustment

- Press and hold all three buttons to do a factory reset




The pod tank that is included with the Marvos S kit uses the same coils as the other Marvos tanks and the included base is in fact compatible with the glass tank that is available for separate purchase.

The drip tip is the same spit back resistant tip which I like and found very comfortable to use but it is replaceable if it’s not to your liking. I like that the tank is nearly clear and I can easily see the liquid level in it.





The pod itself is held in place by four magnets that are located on the bottom along with the fill port which has a rubber plug much like we’ve seen on many other pods of this style. The magnets mate up with the raised metal ring inside the base of the 510 portion of the tank. The coils are push in style and make connection in the base which contains a spring loaded gold plated center pin.

The airflow control is located on the tank base rather than having to turn the pod to adjust the airflow. I like this since you don’t have to worry about messing up your airflow if you turn the pod. Also the airflow base is knurled to make it easier to turn and it also matches the knurling on the battery cap.





The coils used in the Marvos kits is the MS series of coils. The coils included in the kit are the .15 mesh coil rated for 60-80 watts and the .25 ohm mesh coil rated for 40-60 watts. Also available are the .35 and .5 ohm coils in this series. The coils use tea fiber cotton and are made of SS904 which can be used in temperature control even though this mod does not have that feature.







FINAL THOUGHTS:

I very much enjoyed testing the Marvos S 80 watt kit. I thought the imitation leather was very nicely done with padding underneath and the stitching around the perimeter. I felt like the gunmetal frame and brown leather look were a really great match.

It’s good in my opinion that Freemax has kept with the same MS series coils across all of the Marvos line of devices. The coils are fantastic flavor producers and seem to last quite a while even with my favorite LMN# liquid. As usual I preferred the .25 ohm coil at around 45 watts. The .15 coil had great flavor also but I had to run it a bit lower than recommended wattage. It still performed well around 50 watts.

I did get some condensation underneath the pod but no real leaking. However, I just want to mention that with this style of pod tank, if you are going to let it sit unused for days, take the pod off because they will usually leak if left unused for days.

The design of the Marvos S isn’t new and I’m sure many recognize this style of mod. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. I personally like this style of mod and find it very comfortable to hold and use. It reminded me of the PX80 which I also liked very much. However, unlike the PX80, this one has a 510 connection on the mod which is a huge plus in my book.

So, would I recommend the Freemax Marvos S 80? I really would. In my opinion it’s hard to go wrong with this one. It has a replaceable battery, 510 connection, and the included coils are fantastic flavor producers.

I’d like to thank Freemax and Tina for sending the Freemax Marvos S 80 watt kit for this review. Also a big thanks to my dedicated readers. I truly appreciate your support. Below is a link if you want to see more about Freemax.

Hi,
I am having issues with my mod. I have been vaping for 9 years. Most of those were with a RDA. I had no issues with it until recently. Also, I was never knowledgeable with Ohms or watts and did not think I needed to be. I changed coils, I cleaned them. I never messed with or changed the watts or Ohms because it vaped fine. This last time I changed coils I started experiencing (whether it be hot juice or a tiny micro piece of cotton hitting the back of my throat with my pull, and immediately causing me to cough and gag uncontrollably lasting for up to 30 minutes. I would change coils and cotton and it would be fine until it happened again. I have a difficult time understanding this part of vaping. What I am supposed to vape at? What coils am I supposed to use?
Currently I have a Snow Wolf UX. I'm using an RdA. I have a pack of different coils with different numbers. Can someone help me figure out how to set this up correctly?
