finally another vw/tc tube mod

[drugarth]

If you wanted a vw/tc tube mod you were obliged to splurge for a dicodes dani v2+. They are certainly worth the money, and I love mine. But if you don't want to spend that kind of money there seems to finally be another choice.

focalecig.com - Authentic Cigreen Titan 50W TC VW Tube Mod - Stainless Steel

Don't know if it's any good, as the only review I could find was in a language I don't understand
Description says 18650/18350, but pictures don't show it, so not sure if it actually provides 18350 size.
Anyone own one and can comment on quality etc.?

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

I found 2 videos on YT but they're in a language I can't understand. I suspect it's Chinese or Japanese. Perhaps some of our Asian members can help out explaining these?

If not there's at least the imagery:

It comes with a 18350 battery cap. Fires down to 0.1ohms. Only have time for a quick browse thru this video I found on China's YouTube (no vpn on my cell phone since December)

Fast forward to 4 min mark u will see him unscrewing the 18650 battery cap and a 18350 cap.

That's pricey!
Better wait some feedback before pullin the trigger with this one.
Might get couple, since there aren't that many TC-tubes besides Dicodes.
Wondering about that 18350 though..Wondering if it is up to the task, they don't come much higher than 10A limit.

As far a I know there are exactly zero VW/TC tubes except the Dicodes ones, I agree this is a bit pricey for a chineze unknown mod but still alot cheaper than a Dicodes ;-)

The 18350 works perfectly in the Dicodes, but that only goes to 40W this to 50W and the chipset is probably not as good....so I agree it might be an issue if you go up to the higher wattages. The AW is, if I remember correctly, 14A, so best to use those I guess.

I think you mean AW, not AWR? AW is a quality brand (rewraps, but a-bin batteries honest cd values), AWT is a rewrapper that does that inflates values.

@KenD you are absolutly right !

The part about "imported chipset" made me wonder if this could have something to do with Dicodes..
Would explain the price and there aren't that many chipsets to choose from in tube format.
Aspire had one that goes to 50 watts, but without TC.

I did a quick check with my Dani and the screen layout is the same as the Dicodes layout. But the menu is entirely different. It also lacks alot of features compared to the Dicodes (TCR, powerboost etc.).
So it's not the same chipset, but who knows maybe they're manufacturing a cheaper less advanced one for them...that would be great But I'm afraid they would certainly have put that up in bold in their advertisements, so I guess it's wishfull thinking.....

I wish they would make an 18650 tube mod with an eGo Twist style variable wattage. These tubes get way too tall with a screen like this.

@KenD you are absolutly right !

I'm always right
