Aspire Pegasus - 70W, single 18650, and TC too (apparently)

[TheBloke]

What if I put in a high ohm kanthal coil (say the 1.8 nautilus coil), won't the 30 watt pulse burn my coil?

Yeah that's another concern. It does say '30W pulses', so I would assume/hope that it doesn't just blast a continuous 30W at the coil. And that it varies the pulses according to the base resistance.

But it's all very weird and sounds like a stupid way to do it.

and now I don't want it anymore...what a shame, it looks like a nice little mod

Real shame if it doesnt work right, I really liked the look of it.

OT:
Could it had been pressure from Innokins upcoming TC that made them rush It?

Might well have been a factor yeah, the fear that it would pull people away from Aspire tanks to all-Innokin solutions. I had been assuming it was mostly the recent ELeaf TC, the most entry level of TC mods and I'm sure becoming a big hit. I would think they saw it and realised that TC was sweeping the field, and they now wouldn't even have a cost benefit over TC mods.

I wonder if they might have shot themselves in the foot. If it's as bad as it looks, it would have been better to either delay it a couple of months to do it properly, or release it as-is and release a TC version later. It might taint the brand.

Then again I might be over-estimating the needs and expectations of a new, entry-level TC user. A user who has never used TC before and is buying a $40 mod to try it might well know no better and be much more willing to put up with poor usability. Those sort of users aren't even building their own coils, so stupidity like displaying all coils as 0.15Ω probably won't even bother them. As long as it can avoid dry hits with a basic Ni200 coil head, it can still succeed.

But still. Ugh.

I own two different mods that sort of 'auto detect' which most times asking the user if a new tank was installed or not. Frustratingly, sometimes it works, often times not. I've liked and enjoyed many Aspire products in the past, this one likely won't be one of them.

He has the pre-production version sans temp control. Have to say, I think it's the best looking Chinese mass produced single 18650 mod on the market right now, in any price range (yes, that includes the SX Mini). Classy and understated.

What I was afraid off: on the aspire site forum some users are already complaining about burned coils because of the 30w pulse....you would think they had seen the issues the Evic vt had by doing the same 30w pulse thingee....I'll be skipping this for now...allthough I do like the dock idea.
