It doesn't sound any different from my SnowWolf. I can't "manually" change between power and temperature modes, but since it always autodetects the correct mode I don't see why I would want to. I can manually switch between power and temperature settings any time I want. Not sure what the "locking" feature is or why I would want it. It could easily be talking about the auto-locking the mod does if left idle too long. Since they don't give any actual technical explanation regarding these features I'm not convinced there is any real difference in the chip at all.


As for building and upgrading PCs go, I've been doing that since the 386 days in the early 1990s. My current build is a $2,700 beast of a PC. Water cooled CPU, dual water cooled GPUs, 16GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD space and 4TB of HDD space, it's ridiculously powerful. I've got over $1,000 invested in the video cards alone. Fortunately I can "justify" this all to my wife by reminding her that building and maintaining high end computer systems and networks has been my career for the past 20 years and I need to stay on top of the latest technology.

Oh my god! you mean some evil company released a new updated model?? THe NERVE! oh wait, pretty much every company in every type of product does that. or is it bullstuff when BMW releases a new 2016 330I when I just bought a 2015 330I? No I dont drive one of those but its a nice example. this just baffles me that people get upset when a company that is out to make money improves its product to give us the end user a better experience.

As to computers... I gave up the race after I cut the bridges on my old CPU to overclock it... I was watercooling when we had to build our own complete kits, such as using the heater core out of a small car and such. before there were commercial kits for it. I remember lapping 1/4 inch slabs of copper to make my own water cooled heatsink blocks for my CPU and GPUs. now I simply buy a mid grade laptop and use it for a couple years then if I want to I get another mid grade one. My asus with a core I5 and 1tb HD works just fine for me with my internet forums and streaming pron.

I have no idea which version of the Snow Wolf I have. Had it about 3 weeks...

It takes about 30 min for my Snow Wolf to lock. My only issue is that it is a little slow to come out of temp control mode. With my SubTank on it, you have to take a long vape before it decides to kick into watt mode. If you aren't careful, it will burn cotton. I turn the temp all the way down, and the watts as well for the first hit after "waking" it up. That seems to help. I guess I need to find some Ni coils and/or get a Smok TCT for it. With a Nickel build one Freakshow, I love it. Not a trace of burnt cotton.
