Nitecore enters the mod market: Pro Box Q50

[hazozita]

Saw that Nitecore is coming out with a VW mod. Not terribly exciting with regard to specs (50w, no TC, but fires down to 0.1 ohm) but it has an interesting look. Not sure yet if I love it or hate it – need to see one up close.

That's....different. Not sure how I feel about it.

Looks.... interesting. No TC isn't a huge turnoff, for me anyway, and I like that they built in a clip for the thing since it looks quite small. 50 watts at .1 of resistance would be a blistering 22.36 amps so that could = "clouds brah". Ergonomic design looks to fit the hand nicely and seems like it could be a fairly discrete device for those who like to vape in the shadows.
My only experience with Nitecore: I've owned two of their chargers, i2 & D2. The i2 crapped out on me in a year but the D2 is still running strong. 50/50 on their quality.
I am interested to see the price point and the dimensions...

I actually love the look of this mod. I'll wait for some reviews and if they're positive I'm getting one.

 

[bsidb]

I want one, who has them?

 

[retired1]

They're saying the 510 connector is made from pure copper. If that's the case, I see issues with it, as copper is very "soft". Be prepared for lots of complaints about the threading going bad.

 

[Foggy Road]

LOVE the look. Tho the 50w is a turnoff for me. It mentions voltage output, if it is actually a VV/VW device I might be interested.

 

[anthropolyte]

I very much like the look of that. I'm also a little wary of the copper 510 though - it's not just soft, it could cause problems with conductivity as it oxidises. Seems a bit redundant to put copper connectors on a regulated mod regardless, to be honest. A shame.

I sent them( Nitecore) an E-mail with my questions, who? How much? will post back if I hear,

50w is between 13 and 17 amps (assuming 90% chip efficiency), from fully charged battery down to 3.2v. Resistance doesn't determine the amp draw on vw mods, watts and battery charge (lower charge = higher amp draw) do.

Dear Joseph,


"Thank you for interest in Nitecore's product. I regret to inform you that Q50 has not begun selling yet. however , we will carry out a giveaway activity this month, the participant will have opportunity to get a Q50 for free, please take a look at our facebook for detail informationNitecore Vape" the giveaway is for retailers only, they want a photo of business license, thought id share that before you clicked

 

[hurricanegirl100]

Don't know if that's copper threading or not...but, yeah, copper threading would be a deal breaker. Scrolled further down on Nitecore's page - it IS copper threading.

That was dumb.

 

[oplholik]

I like the looks, but a copper 510, no thanks. Copper would be too soft, even brass would be too soft. It needs an ss 510 with maybe a copper pin.

 

[retired1]

Well, they DID get the description right.

Delicate Pure Copper 510 Connector

They should emphasis the word Delicate.

 

[oplholik]

Don't know what they thinking when they designed this.

Easily summed up with two words. Planned obsolescence

 

[oplholik]

yur right there. For most people, including myself, probably last just a few months at best.

 

[sonicbomb]

Multiple protections and a belt clip are the best it has going for it, fugly looks and a chocolate 510 against.

 

[Lemwise]

I don't think it's actually a pure copper 510 plate. I assume the people at Nitecore are smart enough to know it won't hold up. Could be beryllium copper which is hard enough for this purpose.
