HexOhm mod or mechanical mod?

[Bigflyrodder]

Those are rare earth magnets on the corners, not screws. The cover is held tightly in place by those little suckers but comes off when it needs to so you can rotate and swap out the batteries.

I have not but I will look into it!

I don't know which to choose. Hexohm or duke what's the lowest ohm I can go on a vtc5 batteries? Also a bit curious. Those metal like things on the corners are they screws or magnets ? I expect it to be tough not just functional

The corners of the box are rare earth magnets that hold the door on, they work well. I haven't ever had the door come off without me really wanting it to come off. Also when running vtc5s is more of an over head type thing seeing as you don't want to push the OKR chip past 10 amps. You COULD if you wanted to, they even state that in the pamphlet you recieve with the hexohm. BUT it will lessen the lifespan of the chip. obviously the duke and other OKR box for that matter will run the same specs.
So you want to run a .6 ohm load at the lowest. at 6volts (max output) it comes out to 60watts and 10amps its on hell of a vape.
Hope that answers your questions boss.

Sorry Bigflyrodder i didnt see you had answered the magnet thing.

Get the one that you can get, frankly. The other benefit to these boxes is that the OKR chip is rugged and time tested. I like the IPV mods that are coming out but I'll let other folks be the beta testers. Might get one down the road. The Duke is a great mod, the Hexohm....there are others. I've got one that is neither. BTW....the chip is a lot cheaper than the SX or DNA series chips in the event it does fail, and there is TONs of info on these kinds of mods.

Here's to what I'm aiming for though:

*Life time warranty
*Durability
*Design
*Vent

I looked at those hana mods recently and tried a few but that aluminum body coat doesn't protect much from scratching. I'm a guy who has keys next to the mods at times and it will scratch the living hell out of it. I love the fact it sits flush on tanks or even RDAs.

Hex ohm or duke could be a first choice. But then again, I'm not so sure. I

I dont know anyone who has ever picked up an OKR box and not found it to be stellar...ouch, i said stellar hahaha, but it is quite good.
A great thing for some confidence in the device stated stated above by GeorgeWachsmuth its time tested and rugged.
Sadly flush atomizers wont happen o the hexohm its not terrible but not great google some picture of the hexohm and the duke i saw you said you like the flush look. Its a win win situation! be excited!

Also is the duke lock body with earth magnets ? Where's their official site for both ? I'm really leaning towards it to be honest. DNA 30 is nice but I'd prefer scratch resistant (;

what's the box mod from Cloud Chasers Inc. ? I'm thinking about trying one but don't know wich one ? I love my mech's but the idea of not having that drop off after 30-45 minutes appeals to me.


edit...just saw where someone said the CCI mod was fully mechanical ...no chip ?

What's your preferred? They both are fun to use however I'm more for durability and the fact I like the idea if a mechanical mod's battery goes bad, easily replaced. Hexohm however has a life time warranty which is pretty nice (depending on the vendor) and the fire button is just slick and simple.

This one is three years old and still going strong. I've probably bought/built over a dozen PVs since I got the Mako, but still haven't found one that vape one bit better. (yes that's the one that spent a week in the mud at the bottom of Ogden bay)

I built a couple of OKR mods (T6), but just couldn't get past the need to stack batteries when it's just as easy to build a PV that can perform as well on one bat.

The problem with the DNA chips is they can only adjust the voltage up to meet your desired wattage. If your build only requires say 3.5v for the wattage you want, you are SOL, and it will run 'unregulated' (battery voltage).

IMO a mechanical still comes out the best option. (more ways to use it)

Attys don't sit flush on the Duke either, small gap as the 510 is just ever so slightly raised. Corners on the cover are rare earth magnets which hold it snug, simple adjustment wheel on top to turn voltage up or down. Build is, from what I can see, identical between the Duke and the Hex which is why I suggested going to the origonal maker and ECFer (Goss) for the Duke if you could.

I see you are not bringing the DNA30 devices into the discussion so that opens an entire new line of debate. The Duke isn't flashy, no bells or whistles, it's just the best street fighter on the market IMO. The DNA30 devices I've seen are much more sexy but come with a much higher price tag, except for the clones I guess.

Let me put it to you this way... I know many that have purchased DNA30 devices, used them, sang their praises for a while, then put them on the classies. I have only ever met one person that sold their Duke and they were very very very sorry that they did.

What's the difference between the duke and hexohm ? Where's their official web link?
