I'm vaping on the exact same setup as I write this. It's pretty good so far, though the top airflow strikes me as a gimmick. The bottom airflow is more than sufficient for me. Definitely liking it more than the TCT with the s316L coil on the Herakles. Oh, and here is the custom screen I made:
umm ? guys i have the boxer 133w and do you have to set up the watt hour calculator on them, because i never did?
I believe it is just going to dictate/control your battery bar, so you don't have to as you probably have found out from using it, but it would be good to do. I made sure to do mine because I use battery percentage on the screen instead of voltage which I think runs of the watt-hours estimate and battery curve. The consensus will probably be yes you should, and the good news is it's really easy to do if you know the mah of your batteries. You can do that same calculation by hand to get the watt-hours number to place in that box but it is easier just to place the numbers into Escribe.
The calculation to determine watt hours is
(mAh)*(V)/1000 = (Wh)
So to those of you whom own and used these devices for more than a month what can you say about durability? Just got one as a gift and I feel as though there's a quite a few ways it can get crushed or the 510 connection pulled out...etc. just how stong is this "plastic nylon housing"?
I wouldn't recommend using it as a hockey puck. But it'll take the ordinary amount of abuse any other mod will take- and the housing is arguably as durable if not more durable as some aluminum or zinc alloy housings.
I have plastic nylon and Alumylon Boxers, both have held up extremely well. The only thing is that I need to clean them occasionally with a wet sponge. Otherwise, no complaints.
Thanks for the replies. Another few questions if you don't mind.
While I don't plan on running it over with the car, but every now and then I do forget that I have a mod in my back pocket and sit down. Any other mod I have Ive never had an issue, this one feels like it would get crushed.
And how long and how often have you used them? Not sure how long the "Boxer" has been around but I have used the Yihi sx chip sets for what seems like forever between ipv's and the orginal sx mini and many variations after, so I'm confident in that component again my concern is with the material the box is made of being able to hold that 510 connection in place with me repeatedly push the caps on and off my drippers. For example I can feel the material flex as I push the topcap back on my Tobh, or pull the chamber/body off to rewick. Thanks for any insight/experiences you can offer to help me take precautions or put my mind at ease.

Hello
i just saw your post on ECF... and esauce has not really advised you correctly
Jonathan Wakeford
Hi
Ginger Vaper
hello. I just read your post on ECF and will help clarify for you. We had the design on the Boxer changed from the magnets to the Press-on version, mainly because people who were purchasing the kits were installing the magnets backwards, hence ruining their door and requiring a purchase of a new one. Also the glue used does not adhere well to the Alumylon material which caused the magnets to fall out. While, yes, the magnet-less version is a more solid closure. Some still prefer the magnet version for quick release and other even like to play with it popping on and off
as to the powder......
That is also not correct at all what he advised.
Jonathan Wakeford
oh okay I understand
Ginger Vaper
Part of the process of printing these mods results in a powder residue. The White, Alumylon and Grey colors are all the actual material that the enclosures are printed in. All others are dyed over a white print. On the dyed colors, it is very important that the manufacturer removed all excess powder prior to dying. If not, then they are just dying the powder and may miss spots below the powder. When the powder then comes off it will expose an unfinished surface. Occasionally the manufacturer does miss a spot or two and we fully inspect all units prior to assemble to make sure none of these get assembled or released. An assembled unit from us will not have the powder issue. The White, Alumylon and Grey and not dyed so this is not an issue.
If your unit feels stiff or the buttons are difficult to press, this means that your unit was not cleaned properly and there is excess powder stuck in the crevices of the buttons. We clean out each and every unit we assemble so this issue should not be present from us....but it might be if someone purchases a kit.
That can be easily fixed by simply blowing into the openings of the buttons to remove the excess powder.
Jonathan Wakeford
I see, though, I bought a white assembled unit from Esauce early of october, a 133W with magnets, and the door would not fit flush when I put batteries in ( Sony VTC5's, LG HG2 or Samsung 25R5 ), the door would constantly stick out, and the magnets woulnd't come in a perfect contact, making the door lose. Maybe this problem is related to the powder. Anyhow, I send the unit back to Esauce and will have an exchange for a new grey magnetless design so I should encounter no further problem !
Ginger Vaper
also..... the units from esauce are not assembled by us nor programed by us nor go through our strict QC and cleaning standards. I'm not saying their units are bad... just that I can not answer for them. Do not know how they program with eScribe nor their wiring method on the assembled units. I know he glues his 510's in (which is a bad idea) and as one member reported got "stuck" to his Smok tank.... we do not use glue. We do place a few drops of loctite now on the threads to assure that the 510 will not unscrew by over tightening your atty. We also offer a 6 month warranty on our assembly while i think they only offer a 4 month
Jonathan Wakeford
Damn that happened to mine with a crown tank ! The first day I got it...
I would have paid the extra shipping if I had known !
Ginger Vaper
I saw that post. We're are not members there on ECF because they do not allow us to post in forums if we were. But that is not due to the powder. It is either because they did not remove a few over the assembly parts that would interfere or that the battery contacts were not pressed in all the way. The door should sit flush if the assembly was done correctly. I use VTC5's is mine and it sites perfectly.
Even with the magnet-less one, if they do not remove the manufacturing posts or press the battery contacts in enough then the door will still not sit flush.
Jonathan Wakeford
Well I'll make sure to pass on the info, it could save quite some hassle to fellow vapers !
Ginger Vaper
There can also be wires that interfere with the battery sled sitting flush. If the sled is raised even a mm or two, this would push the batteries out further causing the door to not close properly. The assembly is a but tricky, especially on the DNA133 model.
I'm sure they will get the hang of it. It just comes with experience as our techs build hundreds of these each week.
Jonathan Wakeford
Thanks for all the intel ! Hopefully you'll hear from me soon.
Yes but I wish I wasn't the one serving as a guinea pig
Ginger Vaper
here is a picture of the DNA133 assembled in the new grey.... we have a few in stock right now.

sexy !!
Ginger Vaper
yes.... Ive been using the new Single 26650 unit for a couple of weeks now in the grey and it still looks like it was right out of the box. Definitely recommend this material over the others.
Jonathan Wakeford
just to know what would your rate be for shipping it to france ?
Ginger Vaper
i think the regular shipping is $17?
Jonathan Wakeford
the white was very neat but is stained to easy
Nice
Ginger Vaper
but they may hit you with VAT when it arrives
some say they need to pay, some don't
Jonathan Wakeford
Oh damn that would be steep !
Ginger Vaper
guess it depends on the customer agent working that day
Jonathan Wakeford
you declare its true value or downplay it ?
my zampleboxes come in declared as a 10 buck value
Ginger Vaper
we actually insure the parcel for loss or damage. So i think that is the issue. Sometimes they use that value and tax on it, other times they don't. But if we did not issure it and it got lost then it would be a bigger isue.
Jonathan Wakeford
I see ok, well I might take the gamble with the customs then, as long as I manage a refund.
thanks for the pic and your advice.
Talk to you soon I hope
Chat rated Good
Ginger Vaper
Im sure you will be fine dealing with esauce too if its an issue. The Grey does not have many of the issues as the other colors do. Just tell him NOT to use glue
Jonathan Wakeford
hehe I might just tell him that ^^
Ginger Vaper
and if you want to be safe.... just a couple of drops of loctite on the threading of the 510 will assure it does not twist off.
Jonathan Wakeford
got it !
Ginger Vaper
good luck.... and hope you enjoy it.
Jonathan Wakeford
oh I will I love it ! appart from the minor glitches
So I just ordered the black dna133 boxer from GV directly. Will my battery doors be press fit or magnet?

got an email from GV, its press fit, seems like 6 months ago they switched all their new boxer mods to press fit
Now you have me wondering about the size of your back pockets . . . Anyway, plastic nylon is pretty durable stuff. Being plastic, it can flex, but it's not going to break easy. For example, plastic nylon is used in all sorts of applications were good strength and resistance to breakage is important (e.g., car parts, climbing ropes). Further, these mods have been in the market for awhile and I haven't seen anything about a 510 connection popping out or boards getting crushed. The only problem I can see with using drippers is that if they leak, you'll need to get the wet sponge out to clean the mod.
@Yozhik, Im not of the skinny jeans generation if thats what your asking.
Lose fitting, "baggy", NOT hanging off my ..., but comfortable with room to grow was just how I grew up and still find them comfortable till this day. So yeah I got pockets I can and auctually do.6
Thanks for the info, excuse the rant, I just get really bugged by the "modern trend" and hope my sons can still have kids when they grow out of this phase. My daughters on the other hand, I'll support what ever clothes are the hardest to get off and cover the most skin.
