I'm running a bf modded (slotted the center pin) magma right now. It's excellent. 2¢
They have to leave room for improvement, should a 2nd run come to pass.
Here's a first look at the clone. I don't know if its fully mechanical. Seems weak by the looks of it.
It's obviously running a non-sub-ohm coil on a Chalice III clone. That's not a cloud chaser set up.
I use a REO at work with a Cyclone single coil. I don't get wimpy vaporization that looks like that. LOLIt's obviously running a non-sub-ohm coil on a Chalice III clone. That's not a cloud chaser set up.
We don't know what juice ratio he's running, the resistance of his coil or the charge on the battery. Obviously, there could be a massive voltage drop on the clone, but it could be other things as well.
Yeah, we'll see soon. Wish we could see the guts in this thing.
I am not too sure he had a very good seal on the bottle because it looked like it took forever for liquid to get into the atty when he was squonking it.
Is it me or did they put the door on the wrong side of the mod compared to a REO?
The video is mirrored. Look close and you'll notice it looks like the bottle and atty are left hand thread when he tightens them.
My plan is to test the resistance on the body when it arrives and may run an extra wire between the battery neg and the 510 to improve the earth circuit
Since no one has seen one yet, this is purely speculation... : From their description(s), and assuming it really is milled aluminum and not die cast, the body should be an excellent conductor.
The resistance of the spring sounds a little problematic. The solution to that will probably be found by fuse modding it... or, for the 'tried and true' safety minded, having a chat with one of the custom flashlight vendors and procuring a 3 piece hot spring of proper size and resistance for the application. --> Then the only remaining electrical performance question will be what material they used for the top contact. There haven't been any hints in any versions of their description about that.
If it is milled then awesome, but kinda half expecting it to be cast,
The world will know probably by the end of next week. Folks who ordered them in the UK began to get shipping notices on July 1st.
Interesting to this thread and probably more fuel for the flames: It also seems that those who buy these can expect not just a REO Grand Clone, but also a SS Adjustable 510 Connector Clone installed. The first bunch of people who will get them will have problems because they cloned the connector wrong and the center pin has a right hand thread, but they caught it and supposedly some folks will get left hand threaded ones eventually.
You might not need spare parts, but if you decide that you do, could you send it to @super_X_drifter so he can slap it around with a hockey stick?
The postage would be more than the clone is worth, but once I've had a few days to try a non regulated bottom fed mod he's more than welcome to it lol
I would bet that it works great. Unregulated mods are not that complicated, I have built a few myself. I mean, unless you are having problems, I don't think you should give it away after a few days. I hope someone does a comparison at some point though.
I meant more for me to see if I like unregulated, all I've ever used is regulated mods for rta's and rda's so this will be my first venture into unregulated and I've never had to build a coil etc to suit a battery I've always built a coil to suit the rta and then just set the power to get the best from it
