Even with the "MAP" code it's still close to $70! Do some research on SXK chips before you buy this! They're Garbage!
For this kind of $ it should of had a dna Go!
Well that is doable by a few people we know. ;) By the way, there is another one that Todd mentions from time to time on YouTube and it is even smaller. It too uses a Boro tank and an 18350. No board though, just a switch. Its even more expensive.

No way we're giving up our 55" Samsung plasma furnace, just no way. Nothing up scales old movies and tv shows like a plasma. 4K has a great picture.......in the store ie there's not enough source material out there yet and I'll be d....d if I'm gonna connect my tv to the internet to watch a dvd.
The plasma definitely had a much better viewing angle, but the 4K content on YouTube looks amazing. I'm actually more interested as what drone they are using to record those videos, that not be cheap.

Well I put a Ti build in the B2K 3MM ID 8/7 wrap 24ga Zivipf, it measures 0.26Ω cold and the vape was absolutely horrible at 50W/450F. Switched it over to power mode and the vape is perfect at 45W, so it's not a wicking/juice issue. I find if I bump the resistance up 0.02Ω and lock it in, the vape is perfect when I switch back to the Ti profile.

So here is the vape at 0.28Ω 50W/450F, does this look good?

That looks just fine. Although it would be interesting what it looks like set to 0.26Ω? What's up with that?

Nether one of my DNA60 BB's can be rebooted with EScribe, is this normal and how is it that I'm just now finding this out?
I dunno, I did that once on one of my HCigar VT133 and it turned it into a paperweight. So I don't go there.

The graph shows wicking is drying out, especially on that second pull ie the sharp reduction in power output.

But that graph is of the one that vapes fine set at 0.28Ω.

Yep and undoubtably vaping higher than the set temp of 450°f. Just like setting it to 45w in power mode. A good flowing wicking job is essential to getting a good and accurate tc vape.

The graph tells the story. It's reducing power output level drastically due to the wicking drying out.

Mine always looks that way and my wicks are fine. I just inhale harder at first and tapper off at the end.

Funny, I wasn't excited about getting a XvoStick DNA60 anymore. Since I ordered it back in November and moved on to other mods. But I heard they were shipping, so I checked and mine shipped the 11th. Ok, no big deal. Last week it was with US customs. Ok, so it might be here this week. I checked the tracking this morning and it was out for delivery. I am still not excited.

Later I go out to the mailbox and lo and behold, there it is. Still no excitement. I take it out and it is a tad smaller than the BB and slightly fatter. It feels smaller than the BB in your hand. Toss in an 18650, hoping I got it right, positive side down. Toss on a 24mm tank and set it for a vape.

Hey, that is a pretty good vape and very comfortable in your hand. Now I am getting excited by the minute. Say, I could use like 3 more of these. ;)

This morning I put a Clapton from AVS in my Insider. This is 2 core 26 gauge SS430 wrapped with 30. Before when I tried these I had to use a TCR higher than Unkamen's SS430 but not today. It work really well then all of a sudden it hit temp real quick. Thought it was wicking not keeping up but no not that. Cold ohms staying consistent. I'm taking it to work and will continue to fool with it. It works well for a long time than wham TP.
