Held one of these at a B&M yesterday. Nice hand/size feel. LOVE the screen!!!
Unfortunately didn't have the cash to buy it, but I think this may be my next purchase.
Been loading up on drippers lately, and my husband is about to kill me :p

At the moment I don't own any 26650 batteries either, so added cost and all that.
But I really like the look and feel of this one and that battery would last me days me thinks.:thumbs:

^^thanks for the link, great price!
Maybe talk the hubby into a early Christmas (Thanksgiving :rolleyes:) present!!

Just bought Nic (a lot) and another dripper but I really liked the feel of this one.
I don't go to B&M very often anymore...but holding something in your hand and liking it makes me really want this one.....I am in love with the screen on this one....I can see it!!!
Thanks again for the link :)

I first saw the TNT 80 at a B&M too, was actually looking at it for a friend who has 26650 batteries and glad I did. It really impressed me but they wanted $80 + another $14 for a single battery, with tax it was going to be over $100 so I passed. My friend actually found that sale price and as soon as he emailed it to me I ordered it right away. Having the extra battery really helps too, 26650's take awhile to charge so having a charged battery ready to go keeps you running all the time. I haven't used the pass through for charging but my friend uses it for his 4 hour round trip commute to work sometimes and he says it works great.

I use my TNT more than my Sig 150TC now because it is always on the road with me, it has been flawless and a insane deal for the price. I did order a Wismec Reuleaux DNA 200 but I am thinking that will replace my Sig 150TC and the TNT will still be my road dog. The price is cheap by comparison so if I drop the TNT it won't be a OMG moment compared to the $150 Wismec.

I don't know if anyone that has bought the TNT hate's it, it is usually quite the opposite. Just buy it, you will love it!

OMG! Vapor World just dropped the price to $29.99, I am tempted to buy a silver one: Encom TNT 26650 80w Box Mod

Shipping is a flat $4.99 or free over $75. I am going to buy empty bottles for my DIY efforts, there prices are real good, you just have to buy a bunch. Gonna have to give this some thought for a second TNT as I use my black one everyday, more than my Reuleaux DNA 200 which is just a home mod. Got a Reuleaux RX200 on the way though too in black which would be a road mod.

The TNT is a great mod though is you want a compact all day vape, the triple 18650 Reuleaux does last longer though.

Welp... after less than 4 months of light use, my TNT80 no longer regulates. No matter what I set the power to, I get the actual voltage from the battery. It basically acts like a mech mod now. :(


EDIT:
Okay, so it's only the step-down circuit that bit the dust. It can still step up voltage, which in my case means I can still use 1-ohm builds on it, so it's not a total loss.

View attachment 489306 View attachment 489307 View attachment 489309 View attachment 489310 Been looking for a long time for a new mod to use my 26650 batteries & FINALLY found one. It's an Encom TNT80. Very simple, small 80 watt mod. No bells and whistles, but it's a great little mod so far. Got it Fri afteroordering it from vaporbeast duringthe ir labor day sale. Got it for around $66. Here's a few pics, one shows it next to an istick 50w for a size comparison. View attachment 489306View attachment 489307View attachment 489309View attachment 489310
I too have been searching for a regulated 26650 mod. Thanks for your review on the tnt80. I almost got one of them recently. Then I saw the Flawless 100w single 26650 box on vapordna. I just picked it up for $69 (shipping included) from localvape.com. They have a 25% off sale for vday. I haven't seen any reviews yet but I'll bet it's sweet

I really love my Stout but funny I got an alert on this thread as I popped in a fresh battery into my Encom about 5 hours ago. I haven't used the Encom for about 3 weeks but got some new tanks so I brought it back out to use. My Encom still works great and if you can pick it up for around $30 then it is a no brainer. 101vape has the Stout for $60 right now, is it worth double.....for me it is as it adds TC but in real world use I use power mode 90% of the time. The Stout is better looking IMO and the customer service would be better considering vape forward is a US company with a record of great CS.

The Stout is the better mod but if price is a concern then I am still happy with my Encom TNT80.

@tckenno, I still use mine about every third day.
It got heavy use most of Dec.-Feb. and then I bought a Reuloux at a vape meet in Feb.
I am very happy with it, works perfectly.
Plus....I only gave 34$ for it....

Still have not bought the Stout, BUT I still want one:p
May have to go to 101(mjag.....:rolleyes:....) now!

*too late....OOS!*:(:(:(

Have used this Encom a couple days now and wanted to post early observations. First is thing I noticed was heft. Mod alone weighs a bit over half a pound. With battery and tank it weighs in at exactly a pound. The one-tenth power increments seem tiny compared to my Coolfire 4 which steps in half-watts. The display is bright and large enough to read without squinting. Ergo of it works well for my hand and with that tank which vapes best when its single air inlet is pointing up. Can mean firing at odd angles or sometimes thumb-firing. The more squarish shape and centered connection make handling and feel closer to that of a round mod.

As for the 26650 batteries, the first lasted me two full days. Removed when display showed about half drained, charger read 3.58V. With full tank and full battery, that is an entire weekend of vaping for me. IMO, that is biggest plus of this setup.

Early reviews mentioned a rattle in the switches. That annoyance has been corrected and I can find no real flaws. Appearance is rather plain and variable wattage is the only setting, but if device is a workhorse as one person described it, I'm fine with that considering price point.
