    JAC Vapour Series-B DNA 75w

    hey folks, I'm pretty enamoured with the Series B in the 25 mm rendition. Also reached pro level, aka 20% off :) If I get it, it'll be my first DNA mod. Woohoo! The only thing I'm hung up on is the colour. Can people who have this device please kindly post a few pics in normal light into the...

    Mesh Pro RDA | Clamp, Squonk, Mesh or Coils... | Video Review

    Hey everyone, here's my review of the Mesh Pro RDA from Digiflavor. Generally pretty impressed with this RDA: wide clamping (pretty much) postless deck, some nicely variable airflow, and the ability to run it with mesh strips (you get 3 different materials to play around with) or indeed...

    GBox Squonk Kit | Video Review | Geekvape

    Happy new year ECF folks, just posting my review of the GBox Squonk kit from Geekvape. It comes paired with the Radar RDA. If you were a fan of the Aegis mod's chipset, but more importantly if you're looking for a regulated, dual-18650 squonk mod, I can't think of anything better than this at...

    SMOK Majesty Kit | Same Same But Different | Video Review

    Hey peeps, another SMOK kit, and not much under the hood has changed. However, if you're into resin, the Majesty kit may appeal. It comes paired with the TFV8 X-Baby tank. Same functionality as the TFV8, but with top-fed airflow to, hopefully, prevent leaking. All the best, Methodius

    Zeus RTA | what is 3D airflow? | video review

    Hey folks, so for anyone who's interested and hasn't seen enough reviews already, here's my take on the Zeus RTA from Geekvape (and also my attempt to explain how "3D airflow" should work). I compare it to the Pharaoh Mini RTA as well. Taste being subjective, I still think the Zeus is the...

    Pharaoh Mini RTA | Digiflavor | video review

    Hey people, today we take a detailed look at the Pharaoh Mini RTA from Digiflavor. Co-authored by RipTrippers, this is the second take on the original concept. So many spare parts and extras you could fill a christmas stocking with them. And a daft looking, but super comfortable piece of ULTEM...

    Athena Squonk Kit | Geekvape | How hard does it hit?

    Hey everyone, I might be a bit late to the game with this review of the Athena squonk kit, but I wanted to take the time to check the voltage drop under load. I used the same methodology as in my investigation of the 521 Plus tab and the "voltage checker". If you're interested, here's the...

    Measuring Voltage Drop on the 521 Plus Tab

    Apologies in advance for the sh!tty quality of the pics. It's hard to fire a mod, hold positive and negative leads and press the camera button all at once! Anyway, here goes nothing: #1 - voltage checker reading battery voltage output correctly. 3.97 V. #2 - voltage checker reading...
  10. Alligator clips - testing voltage output under load

    Alligator clips - testing voltage output under load

    The moment of truth - firing the mod with positive to positive, negative to negative post. We get an output reading of 3.35 V under load with some nice glowing coils. This is significantly less voltage drop than the 2.77 V we got with the Voltage Checker. How to account for the difference here?

  11. Alligator clips - voltage output with atomizer attached

    Alligator clips - voltage output with atomizer attached

    Positive clip stays attached to positive contact in-mod; negative clip is attached to the negative post of the build deck. You want to be really careful here. Getting the + and - posts mixed up can lead to a battery short.

    Alligator clips - voltage output in a mod

    Here I've attached the positive clip to the positive contact in the mod, and the negative clip to its respective contact. Sorry for my fat fingers blocking the view! As you can see, we get the same voltage output reading without a load: 3.87 V.

    Alligator clips - testing voltage output of a single 18650

    You can also use the alligator clips and attach them to the positive and negative terminals of a battery to arrive at the current output voltage. Battery used: LGHB6 18650.

    Voltage Checker - testing voltage output under load #1

    Pressing the mod's fire button gives us a reading of 2.83 V under load. Accounting for the slow responsiveness of the device I've taken two more pictures to arrive at an average value...

    Voltage Checker - testing voltage output under load #2

    Second pulse fire of the mod gives us a reading of 2.7 V under load.

    Voltage Checker - testing voltage output under load #3

    This time with the hood taken off for you coilporn afficiendos lol. A reading of 2.77 V under load. Averaging out the three readings we get an output voltage under load of 2.76 V. That's a voltage drop of 1.21 V! Not as extreme as I mentioned in my original post, but still worryingly high, no?

    Just to demonstrate that the voltage output reading doesn't register until you actually fire the mod, duh!

    Voltage Checker - testing output voltage without load

    The Athena Squonk mech mod has been screwed onto the 510 positive connection of the Voltage Checker. It gives us a reading of 3.97 V without additional load. Battery used: LGHB6 18650.
