OK, so I couldn't wait and just put the half charged batteries in there. I have another set charging now so I'll swap out when those are done. Here are my initial impressions:
1. The device came with temp control enabled, so I did not have to pay an extra $2.99 for that. It did, however, offer me titanium mode for $0.49 (
@USMCotaku would like that), so I purchased that over Paypal (this is through the Android app). So the mod now has ni200, stainless, and titanium profiles in there now. I should add that while you don't need the app, you definitely want to use the app. It is so much easier to set up. And here I've always complained about how the SX Mini menu system was a pain to use. This menu system makes the SX Mini seem simple by comparison.
2. This thing is freaking big. Just about 1/8 of an inch shorter than the Sigelei 150 TC (when you consider the higher height at the 510 connector), same height as the Snow Wolf 200. but wider. It feels like holding a pack of cigarettes in your hand.....and we're talking 100's, not kings.
3. I'm not sure if I like having the entire fire button being one side of the mod. You kinda have to hold the mod between your thumb and palm, keeping your fingers off of the fire button/panel otherwise it will continue to fire. The fire button doesn't require a considerable amount of force to push.
4. It does have variable modes of min, soft, normal, hard and max.
5. One thing which is pretty cool about the smartphone app is you can have it open on your smartphone, at the main window for the mod, and when you vape on it, the real time data for temp, time of vape, resistance, voltage, etc. appears on the screen, albeit with about a 1 second lag.
6. I put the Freemax Starre Pro onto it and it seems to vape fine, and the temp control definitely works. Once it hit my preset temp, a temp protection warning message popped on the screen, and then about a half second later it changed back to temp and it continued to vape.
7. If you shake the mod, the + and - button at the top rattles a bit, and the battery door cover will move a bit, but the battery door cover won't come off by itself. The magnets are hold the door pretty securely. When putting the battery door back on, once the door is about halfway on, the magnet will actually pull the door almost shut.
