Yihi sx350 has the gravity sensor and only one button. Sounds like a pain in the ..... I like the three button designs myself.


Live Long and vape!

I could see where that would be a pain for someone; but, to me it's worth it to have the versatility from the performance aspect. Especially it being able to upgrade.

I just read where you can enable buttons and turn off the gravity sensor. It does look promising but 70$ USD is a bit expensive and doesn't leave much room for competing with Hana or Provari. The market at retail here in the Dallas area is like Vamo v5 50$, Hana and Provari $200 with the sigelei 30w at $150 taking up the mid point. In order to be worth it to build your own the chip shouldn't be 40% of max retail. Maybe worth waiting until a factory churns out a total mod with that chip.

paid 160 for my provari at provape's website.

And this site has a kit with everything you need to DIY an sx mod or DNA mod and the price isn't half bad considering it includes everything other than the housing

http://atozvaporworld.com/products/diy-parts-kits

I'm with you though I'm waiting to we what hits the market and how it goes once competition sets in and their are choices. I'm totally happy with my provari all day and the mech for those rare occasions I feel like blowing up my lungs.
The lower freq mods (33hz) have all given my liquids a burnt flavor unless I run them in the low side and I don cooler vape.
I did consider the sigelei 30 and evic supreme at one point then I saw smoktech was about to launch a higher power mod and provari has something new about to hit the market also.
Im playing the wait game before I drop major coin again.
This is the new smoktech supposed to msrp around 125.

I'm using all day a mech with a 1.4ohm mega coil on a Kayfun. I use my Vamo mainly to test batteries and ohms on new builds. I also grabbed a nemesis that is pretty cool.

The Smok Bec Pro has Bluetooth. -rolls his eyes-

I have mixed feelings on that. I've seen one or two mods that we're build horribly and had blue tooth as a puff counter.
I don't get the concept of a puff counter. It makes my brains hurt.
If the Bluetooth lets you adjust wattage/voltage I don't think it would be so bad. My primary reason for looking at the mod though is I think smoktech makes some pretty good products build quality wise. Granted I don't know jack about eh chipset that's in it yet. But, I'll take a deeper look at it then the sigelei or vamo.
I've known several people with both and neither got decent reviews from he people I know.
I've seen some rave reviews on ECF; but, none in real life.

Lol I'm the other way around, the mech was always for at home or of I'm going to a bar or a concert otherwise the provari/kayfun is my all day device.

I replaced my SVD with a Sigelei-20W and happy with it. You can find them for $80. 30W for $100.

I am starting to wish I had bought that one this lack of down regulation scares me.

The dna30 is a chip, what is the name of the mod you purchased? Is it a tube or box shape?

Its a tube,

I generally vape nets with a KFL or Aerotank at 1.5 to 2 ohms. I fresh battery off the charger can be 4.7 volts which is nearly 15 watts!

Now it says in the description 7W to 30W, but that could mean voltage. The only reason I put kicks in my nemesis is because a fresh charged battery is too much.

I read somewhere that the Sigelei 20W may have the same issue. Does anyone know. Can I run a DNA30 at 9W on a 1.5ohm coil with a fresh charged battery?

thanks

4.3V is about the max I have every seen. What battery is that at 4.7? 13 watts is not a bad temp on that resistance of a coil. If your getting dry/burnt tasting hits then not enough fluid is getting to the coil. If it is too hot of a vape suck a little harder more air exchange will reduce the temp. That's how I regulate temp on my mech. Suck softer it's hotter.

I'm asking which one; because I'm also looking so inward curious as to which tube and chipset.
