    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    To better understand the ergonomic difference, look at how my fingers end up on the two different models. With the 18650, it's perfect fit on my hand for that hold, while with the LIPo my finger joints don't quite make it past the battery. So with the LiPo version, I'll probably have to hold...

    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    The aluminum is mixed throughout the polyamide, so it can't rub off like a coating. Also, since it's not dyed, it won't fade if left out under the hot sun. The material can get dirty, but you can wash it with soap and water using a hand cloth. As to the aesthetics, I think it has to be judged...

    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    They're switching the wiring on the battery to 16 gauge (Evolv recommends 18 to 14 gauge for the battery using PVC wire), as they feel with a larger gauge the solder connection one can achieve isn't strong enough for long term use. The DNA 200 uses a surface mount solder connection for the...

    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    I took photos using my iPhone 5, which admittedly is not the best camera. I didn't fire the unit - it's locked, but I did throw on the Kanger STM without a coil/rba to show dimensions. Thoughts: - Alumylon is definitely a more rigid/stronger plastic - buttons still work fine. - Alumylon has a...

    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    I was on the phone with GV a little bit ago. They discovered an issue with the wiring, so they've recalled what they shipped and hope to have the issue resolved and restart shipping out mods by Wednesday. They are pretty much erring on the side of caution so that we all remain happy customers...

    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    So my Alumylon Boxer DNA200 has shipped out, #3 of the pre-orders according to GV. I should have it on Monday says USPS. I'll post pics and review when I receive it. :)

    Boxer Mod Dual 18650 Yihi 350J

    I get check battery when my batteries are too low to meet the current demand (e.g., 20 amps while using temp control). I wouldn't necessarily blame it on the mod, it may just be that your batteries have some juice left, but the voltage drop at the current demand is too much for what the battery...

    e-cigarette Wikipedia article needs help

    He invented what he called the "smokeless non-tobacco cigarette". Basic idea is that ambient air is drawn through a flavor cartridge to become moistened air with nicotine in it, then a heat bulb is used to heat the moistened air, which is then drawn in by the user. In essence, it's not all that...

    e-cigarette Wikipedia article needs help

    One thing that jumped out at me is that I'd say this is a bit biased: "The earliest e-cigarette can be traced to American Herbert A. Gilbert,[106] who in 1963 patented "a smokeless non-tobacco cigarette" that involved "replacing burning tobacco and paper with heated, moist, flavored...

    Boxer Mod Dual 18650 Yihi 350J

    Fading in plastics is usually due to sun damage. A coating of Armor All may help prevent that.

    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    also different firmware I believe. Finally, even if you could craft an 18650 battery package for the LiPo DNA 200, the battery door is not as easy to remove (18650 has a magnetic door that makes battery replacement easy).

    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    I really prefer 18650s to LiPos, but based on price and my interest in seeing if the chip is any better at 200W, I went with the LiPo. I still have to keep convincing myself that was the right decision. ;)

    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    Agreed. I inquired to GV about the status of the Boxer orders. They said that the enclosures are in printing and shipping out this week, so they are currently on track for end-of-the-month delivery on the LiPo version. They also say that the dual 18650 is looking like 1st week of September...

    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    As you would say, that's one point of view, though notably lacking in certain aspects. First, the review was not merely a bad review, but deliberately misleading. Second, it is not unusual for litigation to be threatened in such a context, but apparently you know as fact that only GV is the...

    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    My understanding is that they only threatened litigation after the reviewer tried to extort money from them when they requested it to be taken down and removed. GV might not be perfect, but the reviewer certainly did a lot of questionable stuff. From what I saw of the reviews at issue, this was...

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    My #2, except for two knicks, pretty much looks the same as when I received it. The first one was replaced under warranty back when the first batch had bad paint.

    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    From what I understand, the designer made a beta available once via shapeways, but that design underwent further improvement such that the old beta is not similar to what GV sells. Also, GV remarked to me by email that shapeways manufacturing quality isn't very good, which is why they use a...
