So how you finding it now you've had it a few days :)

It is still working really good. It is one of my favorite mods now. I also just got my iHybrid Pure today so it might get more use than the Chi You clone. But yea, it's a really nice mod. Well worth the money.

It's also pretty small in 18350 mode. First pic is it next to a 650 mah ego and the next is next to a sigelei #19 in 18650.

Not to derail the thread, but what kind of tank is that on the ego (and is it for xl cartos?)?

So let me get this straight, they have not only copied or cloned, but actually copied the Originals logos, and even stamped them with Mojos signature? This is not just a clone its a counterfeit. I have nothing against clones/copies as they are pretty obvious and sometimes even better made, but to just take "everything" from the original shows some real stones.

How does one know they are getting the real thing? To someone that actually has a genuine Chi You they would be able to tell, Im sure there are some differences, but some poor unsuspecting person that might never have seen the real thing gets one used or at a less than scrupulous vendor as a genuine, and pays over 200 and then ends up with a counterfeit? I think this is when morality comes into play.

Im not condemning those who buy it, its a beautiful item, but I just fear the potential for fraud this leads to. My 2 bits, my opinion, blah , blah, blah, blah..........

This will be a headache on the second hand market as you can not really tell the difference between the real and the fake on the net. Though it does appear the font used for serial numbers is a bit off on the ripoff. There are other differences but not something you can really notice unless you physically inspect it.

Regarding the above video on voltage drop, no idea why that Nem has what it has for a drop. Maybe things got sloppy in later batches? No idea. What I do know is the voltage drop on similar ohm atties is not even close to those numbers. Think on a 1.4/1.5 have seen more like a .03

Yea, the font on the serial number is different but otherwise it is the same.

It could be or maybe he didn't clean the contact but I think I remember him saying he did clean them. I made a review and did a voltage drop test. I tested it before using Noalox and I got a 0.7 volt drop. After the Noalox I got a 0.35 volt drop. In the video I did it again and it was more around 0.4 volts. Not bad for a clone if you ask me. I was also running an RSST with a 0.9 ohm coil using the grey Panasonic CGR18650CH. I will post a link to my review/test when it gets done uploading which is going to take a while. This was my first review. I did a few quick tutorials on how to clean CE2 style cartomizers, but never a mod review.
