I think 50w and higher box mods will become mainstream before the year is out. The Chinese are definitely stepping up their game, there's already the IPV2 50w, sigelei 50w mini & 100w prototype, and Innokin just partnered with Evolv for a 20w board...and I'm sure that's just the start. Plus you can't forget the SX350 board, it's the best of the bunch as far as Chinese gear goes IMO.

If I was in the market for one, I'd wait until they start releasing the 100w units, as those demand dual 18650's and will give you insane battery life at 50w. One cell just isn't enough at 50w, hell, my Hana only lasts for 4-5 hours of semi chain-vaping at 30w, lol.

It's refreshing to see them developing their own nice products, even RDA's, maybe they finally realized that the long term potential of clones is nil.

I found some videos of the new Sigelei boxes, it doesn't inspire much confidence, I have no idea why they choose reviewers that don't vape. I guess we'll have to wait until someone stateside gets em' for review to see how they really perform.

Notice how the 100w stops firing after a few seconds, and the video jump-cuts. I'm sure they will get it ironed out though.

First and foremost thank you Isaac for sending me replacement Zenith v2.5 (btw I sent you email please advise) that I received today. Now as far as threading report. As stated above 1st one I received only threaded correctly on ProVari v2.5. This time around it threads on 2 out of 4 with second one being The Copper by Scottua and Hana Modz and Vapetech Pegaus it doesn't. Luckily I also order threaded die that I mentioned in previous post and re-threaded replacement Zenith v2.5 and no I can thread it to each of my mods. I'm happy

Yeah, I have a replacement heading to me also, so big thank you to Isaac for offering post-sale service that I wish all vendors would emulate. That said, I have the same die coming to me from Amazon too because I simply do not trust Crescent Moon with these things anymore. As much as I am praising Isaac for his handling of what has become truly a fiasco, I have no respect whatsoever for the explanation Crescent Moon offered via email to Isaac regarding the threading problems -- if this sort of problem was common, they might argue that trying this on a couple of mods is standard practice in the industry and so it's no big deal that it doesn't thread on more than 50% of a random sample of mods. However, I'm my experience this level of incompatibility at the 510 is not in any way common. I've seen it before, but only once and that is across many 510s.

I will never purchase a Crescent Moon product again, of that you can be sure, and I will advise any who care what my opinion is that I don't believe they should either. As a consumer, that is the extent of my power.

I hear you Vibaka. Fiasco is definitely a key word here. I can't stress enough on how stressful this experience has been. I recall living out one a similar scenario in the past with Puresmokers Prodigy line. That was a nightmare on it's own untill Steve (owner) finally stated months later that the devices are only compatible with Joyetech atomizers. Believe me those were very long months.
The die Igor is talking about, is one I ordered many times over with hopes that the next machinist can create our visions. :laugh: Here we are ordering another.

So ordered the die to fix my threads. It completely fixed them. But when unscrewing it off the die my center post broke. Anyone know where to get a replacement center post? Do not want or need that junk bottom feed pin. If anything its weaker then the original. Starting to spend alot of money on this zenith im about to hulk smash it.

Well looks like I didn't get two. This sucks.

Mine had the BF pin installed and the other one in the bag. Just unscrewed the BF pin with small flat tip and screwed the other one in. Had to leave the pin backed out a bit instead of tightening it all the way in so it wouldn't be recessed into 510.
