Innokin Owners Group Thread

Do I really need temperature control if my temperature never goes out of control?

I don't think I *need* it... but I was following the discussion of it in another thread, and it sounds pretty useful. About never getting a dry hit -- with these new Achilles, that's a concern, since they don't have a see-thru tank and hold only 2-2.5ml -- a lot less than my Kayfuns. With a TC mod, it would alert me by drastically dropping vapor production, if out of juice -- to my mind, a much better scenario than the constant fruitless checking I keep doing, with a top cap that's danged hard to get started, it's so small and hard to grab on to.

I think I got jinxed reading the last few pages. My MVP3.0 is jumping around when reading ohms. I thought I pushed a button the other day, but it has continued. I have not tried to lift the pin because it is fairly new, but I tried different toppers on it and it is rather consistently NOT reading the ohms like two other mods. I have a few RTAs with adjustable 510 pins and they don't seem to help getting an accurate reading from my MVP3.0. They do fine elsewhere.

I tried the toppers on my old MVP2 and they registered there fine. It seems isolated to my MVP3.0. I am wondering if it is a board issue.

Anyway, I am not a techie so I don't know how that would affect other boards within the Innokin line.

if you find a solution let me know. I just replaced my 5 month old mvp 3.0 with a kanger subox due to the ohms issue. Mine got worse and worse over time to the point where 5 fires would produces readings as high as 7.2 ohms on a .9 ohm coil. when running 25 watts through it, instant r.i.p. my coils.

I'll chime in about TC. From a practical aspect it extends coils life significantly. Liquid sort of ebbs and flows in a wick, it doesn't appear to be as constant as we would like to believe. In conventional devices, mech and VV/VW, this can lead to "hot" burning during an "ebb". TC catches that and drops power for a few tenths of a second which mitigates the problem quite a bit.

The other thing to consider is the FDA and what they might "deem" as a safe way to vape.

When the FDA deems it, that will be all that you can buy. Meanwhile we will have our antique collectables to display.

I have a bunch of 808/901/etc blue foam stuff that I doubt I will ever use, but hoarders and all that...

 

[motordude]

But what the FDA deems and what they can enforce are 2 totally different things. I always wanted to be an outlaw without hurting any body, of course.

Well, those collectible antiques may still be going strong. My SVD is, wonky fire button and all. And mechs (well, many) are pretty rugged and hard to break.

Nah, not hoarders. They amass stuff just to have, well, stuff. Vape gear will be useable, with care (and maybe miscellaneous parts...), for a long time.

You know the difference between in-laws and outlaws?

Outlaws are wanted.

Bear in mind Homeland Security is now the muscle of the FDA. I'm sure you saw the "raid" on a vape shop. Be advised when drones circle overhead and MRAPS are in your driveway they are after your mods. Resistance is futile. Surrender to the power of the FDA. Come over to the somewhat confused dark side.

I lost my mind today and ordered an Aspire Triton tank, coils and rba for about $75. Oh well, I hope it does what I think it will.

I know this is the Innokin thread. But, let me know how that Triton works out. So tempted to get one.

This was pretty much going to be just a bump, but to more specifically ask my question: I'm pretty sure that a 490 will work for me (as long as I get the right specs, which I intend to), but will that battery fit (lengthwise that is) in a 134 mini? Or is it too short? I sent an email directly to the Innokin company in China, the reply stated that I was to use a 350 and/or a 500, but I think it was just a form mail and my question wasn't really answered to my satisfaction. I could always just get a 490 and see for myself, and then just PIF it if it turns out to not fit.

I almost asked a question in the 'Batteries & Chargers' subforum, but the 'Search' input box is my friend so I pretty much answered myself. So now this, will a 18490 fit in a 134 mini? I know what the numbers mean, and a 490 is basically a 500, just 1 cm shorter. So is this what those 'spacer things' that I've seen lately are for? And will I need one to use the 490, if I can even use it?

 

[PaulBHC]

I have 2 AW 18350s that are shorter than my other AW 18350s so you never really know until you get them and try. I also have 2 efest purple 18650s that are a lot longer than my AW 18650s.

 

[somdcomputerguy]

I know protected batteries are longer in length than their unprotected counterparts. I'm almost positive that's why the doc's say not to use protected batteries, because they probably wouldn't fit in the device, they would just be too long.

 

[PaulBHC]

Mine are all unprotected IMR. Never use protected in a regulated device.

I Polished Up A 30B.

Looks ok right?

 

[Eric Auer]

Yeah.

[f1vefour]

Polished up really nice.

 

[sanguinesolitude]

so guys. coolfire iv or mvp 3.0 pro? Not a lot a price difference, but which would you recommend?

 

[awsum140]

I like the CF4 and don't have an MVP. The CF4 lasts me about three days per charge, used 1/4 to 1/3 of the time, with a 1 ohm coil at 20 watts, if that helps. I also like the shape better than just the plain box style like the MVP.
