Replaceable battery :) If I'm going out for the day & would rather a stealthy mod I can bring a spare battery instead of the ERM+ :)

Good morning :)


Hotcig could just use the DX200 front half for the board and make a single 18650 back half. They already make a dual 18650 for the DX200 :)

The Hot cig mod is nice :) The ERM is small :) 75 watts is more than enough for my ADV, and 2 18650 will last me the day no problem, even long summer work days :) Now when I'm working I bring the 1300mAH mods cause I can get the whole day out of a charge. The new 75 watt ERM will give me an option I didn't have before :) My 900mAH ERM's don't go to work cause they would run out of charge in the late afternoon :(

I actually started playing with the ERM because I am partly thinking of using the control panel contours in some other designs. The way the 1/2s of the the case fit inside each other it sort of does a certain amount of pinning as well.
That tongue and groove setup is a pain to mill though.

The only feature I'd like to see is an auto-rotating screen like on the SX350j. That is the only feature I like about the Yihi chip.

I have led buttons on all my Vaporsharks and it was a novelty with my first one. The DNA200's led lights up when charging but it's so dim that it's pretty much useless except in a dark room.

Early on in the Evolv forum there was a thread on how to hook up an led button via the board. I think it was James (?) that instructed those asking where to solder on the board for it to work.

ETA: If my memory serves me right, sometimes it doesn't. :(

I turned that off on mine, to be honest it bugs me.
I got both my "j" chips working perfectly :) I had to turn down the TC to 345 degrees not to burn my cotton. I really like the soild ohms lock I can set it at an ohms reading and it stays there :) The battery life Sucks, I'm sure it will be better on the dual 18650 Q chip mod I preordered :) I'm becoming a closet Yihi Fan Boy :facepalm:

"For me" LEDs are a gimmick. A lot of mods are out there where the fire button lights up or whatever, but what usefulness does it actually serve - other than "purdy".

Fluff :D

So Mike it's been a few days with the Supreme, You haven't really said much :( Hows the flavour?
Any Cons you discovered so far? does the juice control work good, can you top fill with no leaks/flooding of the chamber? Are those little pins a PIA? We all want to know :)

To be honest, I have been so busy with other endeavors I havent messed with since the hot spots. I brought the second one to work with me today in hopes I might sneak in a minute or two to build it out, but no such luck. Between normal work headaches, I also have been having to research flights and hotels etc to Slovakia. Vienna is the connection point and I have been trying to see if there is enough attraction to the place to burn up a vacation day while I am there.

Anyway, havent touched it since the other night, maybe tonight.

To me an LED fire button is kind of like a 180 degree forward looking camera in a car or truck. If you've got to look at a display on the dashboard to see what's in front of you, maybe you shouldn't be behind the wheel.
You mean like this [emoji12]lol its my dash cam so I can capture anybody who hits me in the front

I just got my Aromamizer v2. I built a simple single coil between the posts with Ni200 (.09Ω). I cleaned it with Dawn and hot tap water and it still has some machine oil taste to it. I'm usually a MTL'er and that's not really possible with this atomizer. It whistles a bit and not much better than my Lemo 2 for lung hits. I tried 2 air holes along the coil and by the post as well as all 4 holes open. I'm not that impressed with it.
