Not good. How much use did you get out of it?


Wasn't really that great, I purchased about a week after the 75 watt firmware came out, but have a fair number of other mods so it was not even daily use. No drops, physically pretty decent condition, it still works, and I could live without the battery status, but the discharge battery part not so much. It also no longer calculates bypass mode correctly. A firmware upgrade or startup from no battery condition will lead to proper function for a few hits then it screws up again.

Very disappointed I love the form factor, display, pretty much everything except maybe the 510, and had every intention on buying a couple more. Maybe I still will...

Yeah, that's really too bad. I really like mine and I'm thinking of getting another too.

I guess all these circuit board devices can go bad. My appliance repair guy - a friend and classmate of mine - even recommends buying extended warranties on things like front-loading washers as a bad board is really expensive to replace.

Have you tried multiple batteries with it?

mine is less than a year old, been giving me fits for months now.
when it works it works great, but when it doesnt register a power button press it can be frustrating to say the least, constantly mashing it down for a hope it would fire is tiring and frustrating, my thumb can only take so much.
it also randomly shuts down, paint is peeling off and bubbling all over.
its now basically an expensive 1 cell battery charger.

would i buy another, for the right price yes unless someone can offer a better, more reliable device.

note: i do chainvape, 30mls/day, so i guess i wore her out after a few months

I can pretty much co-sign on all of this.

I upgraded to a C1D2, got it in a flash sale on GB. It's a whole different class of mod.

Thanks for sharing your experience. 30 ml is 4 times my 7 ml per day. Did you ever keep track of how many times you pressed the fire button each day with the puff counter. The fire button is probably the hardest working part.

Well vin...same principle...(but a better 'deal" in Canada)...

Via Google..."pack of cigarettes costs around $12 in Canada"...

$65 = 6 packs of analogs = 4 days of smoking...(vs. 1 week in US)...

yepper, if you can do better then we'd buy it
the vtc mini seems to be the one most like - design/style/price
the low cost, 75w, replaceable battery units...
presa - pico - vtc mini - VF lite - hunter - TC60w - CFIV18650

yepper , that's user abuse

you musta nik'd it up, then allowed eJuice to penetrate UNDER the paint surface

just like back in the day when I used to Zip-Strip car body paint
- Zip-Strip 32oz Premium Paint, Varnish And Stain Remover (33-601ZIPEXP) - Paint & Varnish Chemical Removers - Ace Hardware

after steady use of maybe say 3 mo, mine still looks like this (as do most of my mods)
that eJuice is killer...


:|
ya, how could i let juice get under the paint, user abuse?
