Ba Gua or Temon??

[PhillyFan88]

I currently have a Chi You with an Ithaka but I would really like to have a smaller set up for parties. I have been looking at some 14500 and 14650 mods and two that i have found are the temon(same maker as Poldiac) and the Ba Gua. Does anybody have personal experience with either or could give me any good advice on either of these devices. Thanks.

I have a 14500 Temon and it is an awesome little mod. Button spring was a little stiff at first but has broken in nicely. With a DID it is pretty small- definitely more pocket-friendly than any 18xxx mod.
I don't know how it stacks up against the Ba, but I have been perfectly happy with it.
I also saved a few bucks by purchasing the blemished model, and the only "blem" was that it wasn't engraved. Otherwise it is perfect.
Top that off with $13 shipping from Greece and it arrived on my doorstep in 3 days.

I agree, in that I have a Ba but not a Temon; so I can't exactly recommend one over the other.

I mean both seem like really nice 14xxx series mods. Temon also available w/ 14650 tube.

I believe I usually pay a bit more for shipping from MMV, but I will say that the Temon Hybrid is just recently released and most models are in stock. If these are anything like the design and build quality of my DID and Poldiac (which I am sure they are) I can deff recommend them.

If it was within my budget I would have already ordered a polished 14500.

I'm really leaning towards the Ba Gua and putting an arrow on top of it.

Have had both, like the ba gua, 17mm is much better if you don't like mushroom top too. Both great though. 14650 is a nice concept but too long to be of use.

 

[PhillyFan88]

Yea I googled Image the 14650 and it was just to long.

3mm Silica, 30g Kanthal, 4 wraps, 1.2Ω. Blissful state!

I think looking at qorax's pictures alone has got me fully set on getting the Ba Gua.

Hows battery life on these?? Would these batteries last through say 1.5 to 2ml of juice?

My Temon with a little patina..... Okay it's just a bit dirty.....

I use Efests and AWs. Both give me over 4-hrs. I do however replace them during lunch, whatever level they r in. Pop a fresh one and I'm good for the day. Reach home - replace the bat - put both for charging... that simple it is.

Oh ya, with the AGTs I match the drip-tip to the color of the juice OCD I guess, LOL !

Nice setup, I could get these 2 babies from local online store, 2 questions:

(1) where do u get that awesome drip tip?
(2) does it prone to leak if the whole setup is left laying down?

thanks, 1 step closer making decision for a much portable 14500 setup

1) That was a group buy thru our Facebook page.
2) For some quirky reason, No - it doesn't leak√

The Noble 2 also looks pretty interesting. At $99, I almost pulled the trigger. It's a 14500 genesis hybrid.
