Somehow it feels more reliable. The weight (somehow connected to it's ruggedness) and the simplicity. Still having the overpowered issue though.

I have serious doubts that the minimum voltage is 2 volts as stated, in constant voltage mode. However, potentiometers are notoriously inaccurate by nature, but they make up for their shortcomings with their reliability. My 2-25 certainly produces more than 2 volts on the minimum dial setting, so I tend to build slightly higher in resistance. That said, I'm more of a parallel user and find the 2-25 to be superb. Battery life is great and the overall form factor, well thought out. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do.
I thought I'd picked up a 2-25 with the only potentiometer that worked the 'right' way round. Mine also gives maximum voltage when turned fully clockwise. Well done JayBo and Wismec to listening to all the customers out there. Tremendous product.
That seems to have been fixed in the latest batch - mine is full voltage clockwise. Gave me quite a shock when I put it in constant voltage for the first time and wound it fully clockwise to be on the safe side.
This is my favourite mod this week lol. The only drawback for me was that the dial is/was too hard to turn. Well thanks to one of the guys on the ELR forum today. He worked out you can pry the button off gently with a dental pick, then there is a Philips head plastic dial underneath. You can wind it back and forth a few times. Then snap the button back on and it's great. I also added some grease (special RC stuff for plastics) to the button just a smidge and wiped off the excess. It's bloody awesome how it should have been and it is a very easy fix. Be careful though I'd hate to have a heavy handed klutz blame me for breaking it, but you would have to be pretty heavy.
Overall it's a great mod, I've got a goon with a 0.12 Ω build running amazing and a little hot in parallel mode. Loving it. Flouds for days.
@sonicbomb i put some tiny amount grease, on that indented collar bit and around the edge of the collar. Where any plastic to metal touch I'd occuring. I don't think it needs it, but it also can't hurt. Make sure your grease is plastic safe.
I'm know up to my third NC2-25. I just can't get enough. Smallest dual battery semi regulated mod in the business.

Mine does need it, it is completely impossible to turn without using a tool. On the flipside, I like that it's not going to be moved accidentally, I tend to find a power level and then leave it alone. Also I hate disassembling vital components without a really good reason, especially when those parts are made of plastic.
I've only had mine a few hours, but I'm really liking it despite the fact that I poo-poo'd it when this thread was started. Reliable, sturdy, ergonomic, small, efficient, simple, versatile, these are the attributes I'm looking for in a device and so far this device seems to tick those boxes. It may take the place of my NC V1.

I can assure you of two things;
1. The dial is press fit, unless you are crazily fist handed. Removing the dial is easy and non-damaging.
2. Once fixed, it is not too lose that you can accidentally rotate it.
However, the loosening in the fix is not provided by the grease. The key is to wind back and forth the plastic Philips head screw. Somehow it just makes the dial perfect.
Turns the NC2 into a beast in my eyes. they are my daily mods. @sonicbomb I thought I'd reassure your concerns Your call obviously but if you have a overly stiff dial. You will not be disappointed in this fix, I've done it to three of them.

I measured the voltage, minimum setting 2.1 volts and maximum on the dial 6.1 volts.
With a 0.6 ohm load in unregulated series I got 7.5 volts at the atomizer with fully charged batteries. Pretty darn good.
The only thing that bothers me slightly is the PWM rattlesnake, but I'm getting used to it.
Well played Wismec/Jaybo.

@Volition do you know if it's possible to disassemble the top section of the mod. My top plate is slightly out of alignment.

What tanks do you have on them? I have never been into tanks personally but damn those are sexy.
