Got my mod Monday, but I always like to use it a few days before making up my mind. I love this mod! Build quality is pretty good, firing button is great, and I love the magnetic battery doors. Really glad I picked this over the cuboid.
I thought the big storm would delay mine but they're here (no updates since NY till it showed up in Oregon this morning).
Only opened the Grey one but it's nice to have a couple more data cables. I'll update later.
For the obsessive... I have a "3" door and a "4" door.
The slide lock is firm as hell, but that's a good thing actually.
And unlike the fire bar on the xCube, I can handle this all I want without it firing.
The switch is gentle, but requires a firm press. So far... I like it, a lot.
It's heavier than I expected. By quite a bit. And the Cuboid is even heavier?
But this is what the form factor should be. An i50 "Plus".
I've said before... if Eleaf's Design/QC dept's hadn't screwed the pooch with the i50, they'd rule the vape world by now. The i50 had that much potential.
But I was right that I'm not gonna care for this UI very much.
Especially with the RX now having both up and down for mode selection, holding this one's mode button as it slowly cycles through the modes is downright painful.
And if we get another update with the "Start" mode... it'll only be worse.
Adjusting watts in TC is a two handed job if you want to go up.
Hell... down too. I'll just not say any more about that.
I'll have to look back through the thread for comments on the stock SS TCR.
It feels like it might be slightly higher, and better performing, than both the VTC and RX.
Overall, 30 minutes in... damn glad to have iSticks #7 & #8.

Alright, I've had my 100w TC for several days now and I'm enjoying it. Overall quality seems pretty good, especially since it cost me less than $30. I like the fire bar, very comfortable and seems to need the right amount of pressure to fire. The doors hold well, they don't rattle or slide, they fit very well. The lock switch to fire on mine switches from from lock/unlock nicely, not too stiff or too loose, very nice.
The batteries are very snug inside, I'm afraid over time I will tear a battery wrap trying to get them in and out as I usually use an external charger. I would have like to see at least a pull ribbon to remove the batteries, I may end up adding them to mine.
I've only used it in power mode, I don't use TC too often, but battery life seems pretty good. I'm using a brand new pair of LG HG2's. I've been vaping it with my Crius using a simple kanthal dual coil, vertical build, 0.32 ohms at between 35-40w. I'm getting about 14-15ml of use before I have to recharge, so not bad at all. The mod doesn't seem to get too warm even chain vaping.
We'll see how it stands up over time, but so far very impressed with this mod. I'm digging it, so for anyone on the fence, just go get it, it's worth it.

The paint has worn off of the raised ridge on the bottom plate of my black iStick 100W TC. I'm sure there will be some people who will go nuts over this.
i just got mine and charged up my HG2s for the first time and got around a full days use with the herakles plus .4o kanthal coil. thought i would get more life out of that type of setup, tbh.
pics?
NICE!!! I am glad they are finally coming out. There are 2 styles of ceramic coil for the Reaper Plus and I want both, lol.
You can find it at the bottom of this page and download it.

Oh man, I was hoping the finish would hold up. That's one great thing about the gray one. I am hard on mine because I am wrapping it anyway and it has a couple of dings but you can't really see them due to the color. I am really worried that I will mark up my white one, though. I think I will get a clear wrap for that one.
Oh WOW. The gray one has a much hardier finish on it. I hope the white one does, too. That's pretty bad.
When it is not in use, it is standing up on my desk, so whenever I go to grab it, that front edge gets scraped against the table top. And when I am in my car, it sits in the cup holder, which has a rubber bottom. I don't think it is the cup holder that is causing the paint to scratch off.
At least it's not scraping off the side, where it would be much more visible. I actually didn't even notice the paint scraping off until yesterday.
Yeah at least it is somewhere that's not noticeable. I would love to put one of those silicone sleeves on mine but I want to show off the color, lol! Hopefully a wrap will protect it, though.
The reason I would never put a silicone sleeve on it is because it would be a pain to remove it whenever I swapped out batteries. Putting on and taking off a silicone sleeve every day or two would cause it to stretch and become loose over time. I got sleeves for my Vaporsharks because they were charged inside the mod so I never needed to remove the battery.
I thought about that, too. I would have to charge them on board, which I do, but not all the time. I just don't like how you can't see the finish at all with a silicone sleeve.
They don't stretch or distort, certainly not the Eleaf ones I have.
Even the VTC sleeve, which gets slid off at least every other day... is still perfect.
These should slip on like the i50, the pain in the .... would be ones like the D2 which slide on from the top and are more form fitted. I HATE having to swap that battery, but the sleeve is fine.
