not sure, any suggestions for inexpensive dual battery mods with decent TC mode? I am leaning towards sigelei fuchai 213 but I have read mixed reviews about their TC chip.
The Fuchai 213 is a great little mod.I don't usually use tc,but have tried it on this,and it worked fine for me using SS.A friend has been using his exclusively in tc,and loves it,he said he has no complaints at all.
I like the 213 so much,that after using my first one for 2 days,i bought another one,and i am planning to buy at least 1 more here soon.I have decided to make these my stock pile mod of choice haha.

So what is the deal with this regulation thing? Like are all the mods, tanks, coils, etc. available right now going to be kiboshed completely or just kept under watch?

For now, anything on the market prior to 8/8/2016 is kosher until 2018. After that, only FDA approved devices can be sold.

eLeaf 100W TC..I paid $35 for just the mod [White in color, no batteries or tank since I have enough tanks for now..] I found a seller that had 4 Samsung 25R [Green] for $19 shipped and a silicone case for $4. You can choose between many different modes to meet your needs and the firmware is able to be updated. This one can actually be fired up to 120W with the update!

Very happy with the mod it's a very solid build and I have no complaints about the performance. I actually have a eLeaf 40W TC mod for my daily beater mod and I mainly if not always use TC.
Yes, I was considering that. I have a lot of picos (need more still) and a couple of the istick 200w but the 510 connector on that gaps badly with some of my RTA so I am not sure if I want more eleaf if it will have the same gapping issues.

    The 213 is only 150W and the TC does not work. (I'm not a 'hater', I actually own a Sigelei 213)

    I'd suggest a iStick TC100 or Joytech Cuboid. Both actually work as advertised.

    Are you talking about the adapter or the connector on the mod itself?

    So there isn't the possibility of this just being forgotten about and just swept under the rug?
    There are law suits, I think we will know more in Oct how they pan out. There are also a couple bills, one would make all products as of 8-8 grandfathered in. But at this point No one knows, so we are prepping for the worst. Basics- replaceable batt mods, rebuildable tanks/atty's, Nic base for DIY. Back ups for back ups

    If the courts rule in favor of the FDA, the industry will be pretty much decimated after 2018. The PMTA process was put into place in 2009. To date, there is only one product that has been approved. Just one. And that took years and years to make it through the process.

    Ah luckily I haven't ran into this yet. How do you like the pico? I'm considering it to replace my eLeaf 40W TC.

    They are great for a traveler/pocket mod as long as your atty base is 23mm or less. I have 6 or 7 of them for me and 1 other vaper in the house and plan on buying a handful more over the next 2 years for my deeming stash. That and my hana modz one mods are my go to mods when out and about. At home they barely get used as I prefer the vape from my higher wattage triple battery mods with my larger RTA and the TC mode of my SMY SDNA75 mods.

    Does your dual battery mode work? The 3 cyan ones I received by mistake were replaced by 3 black ones (at a net shipping cost/loss to me) and the first one I tested only works in triple battery mode. Trying to decide if I want to test/keep the other 2 for my stash of triple battery mods or pay more shipping to get a refund for them and buy a couple dedicated dual battery mods instead.



    I bought 6 of them (and 6 HB6 and 6 VTC4) a couple months ago for using in my istick 200's and RX200s) and just got 15 more of the 25R for my RX2/3's (3 sets of 6 and 3 sets of 9).

    My duals work as they should.

    I just drove 17 hours from Fl to Wv. Was too tired to sleep. Had to wind down from road tension.

    Don't worry about the number of posts anyone has, just have fun and exchange info. The pool of knowledge here at ecf is surpassed by none and the members here are the best there is. Please don't view the number of posts anyone(including yourself) has. It is not a competition. LOL.
    :)

    Yeah. Ok, you beat me then :p

    I am not the person to ask about TC. I have kind of shied away from the mods with chips. One more thing to break, lol. My reasons for buying the 2/3 mods is geared more towards extending battery life and not having to constantly change out my batts. Plus now I have something that could run tc if I ever decided to try it.
    :)

    Same for me.

    If nothing goes our way, our future is very bleak. Stock up everyone so you have a buffer, you are just buying ahead and will use it anyway, take advantage of these great Labor Day sales :)

    Personally, I'd favor the VTC Mini over the Pico. Better screen and will fit any size atomizer on top. (more similar to the iStick TC40 in size)
