Yeah, I had seen those boards some time back. Of course my thought then was $57 for a board or 45 for the whole mod, lol.

Interesting in those pics on cloudy, the batt contacts look to be copper......copper colored anyway.

Yeah, that guy from the cloudy vaper is real cool too, feel bad for him that he has those chips and the mod has fallen below his list price for the chip alone.

That's business some times but you know what that means: time for a flash sale, lol.

Seriously though, he might be open to offers.

I'm going to chime in here. I don't think it would do you ant good to pursue the warranty issue with homhtech. I say this because they have openly stated they are not a mod manufacturer. They seem to be focusing only on these batteries theu have wrapped and are now selling. It seems to me they are dumping all their mods and to heck with the people who bought their stuff and gave them a name.

Well, to be fair, I think the jury is still out on that. Time will tell but until then I've give them some slack. As Mark Twain once quipped: “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” lol

This might be true, sad but true.

I know at one time they had other mods like a triple 18650 and a dual 26650 mod but they would not be able to sell here in the US with the FDA regs. I wonder about Evolv's future and the future of other US Mfg's as well if the FDA regs are not overturned. This why I have been buying up stuff and so far I have been lucky with all my Hohmtech mods, hope it stays that way.

Yeah, I would probably buy an extra FSK board if it was $25. Did you read the review on that page, says a customer got the board for a custom stabilized wood mod and that thing was a beast, I wish he posted pics to drool over. lol

Irregardless of Hohmtech's future plans, they still put their name on the mod, distributed, sold and warranted the product as their own even if they subcontracted out the assembly and as such should be required to fulfill the reasonable expectations of their customers even if sold through a vendor.

Even if Ben from Hohmech started up and later sold VaporCube to another party while contracting them to perform Warranty Service as they claim, (a claim I am not entirely sure I believe is not just a construction of a convoluted layered business model to limit liability), this practice of denying DOA or Defect Exchange or Refund on Sale Priced New Product items carrying the Hohmtech Name should not be tolerated under any circumstance and Hohmtech should refuse to sell to them any products until they eliminate the policy as it fails to fulfill the reasonable expectations of their customers and reflects poorly on their Products and Company Name limiting their success. It is unacceptable.

We as a community should expect nothing less of the companies catering our equipment and demand correction when they do not comply or these unacceptable practices will continue. A reasonable businessman who cares about the reputation of his business would understand that and should not have to be told that. I would pursue it for the principle alone.

Our complacency is why we have companies like Joyetech who write warranties they have absolutely no intention of honoring. We bring it on ourselves.

Hohmtech is voiding Mongo74's warranty (3) & expecting him to be happy that he was allowed to keep a defunct & defective mod for free because their vendor/service agent ignored his requests for replacement/repair because he bought on sale (1) and further ignored a PP claim for correction (2); then Mongo 74 will have to pay twice as much for a new mod to replace it after an experience like that (4) and Hohmtech sees nothing wrong with that?

Do you not see what is wrong with this picture? Four wrongs don't make a right!

Am I wrong here or do you agree that this issue needs to be pursued and corrected?

I agree with you, I'm just saying that from the way they have been acting, and things they have been saying, i do not believe they will honor it. I fully believe they sold mods simply to make a name, and now they longer want or intend to have anything to do with them. If there are any hohmtech mods being produced, repaired, replaced etc in 6 months i will be more than surprised.

They still need to find a manufacturer who will use the FSK in a mod line. Seems as if they might be courting Jaybo & JT now that they no longer carry the DNA Reuleaux. They would be smart to learn from Evolv's experience with Wismec. Before they partnered up, JT couldn't build a reliable TC Device, after Evolv sent them their chip, suddenly JT Boards could do TC.

Hohmtech is probably better off staying right where they are and building on their current model by producing advanced & reliable mods rather than allowing their technology to be raped before they are discarded and filing a lawsuit for patent infringement that will go nowhere.

They claim, in the other forum, they already have several other manufacturers using their board. Of course they won't/can't say who.
I dunno, things just seem fishy with them right now. I like the g2, but not sure i would buy one again.

Thought it was more like a couple, but they were not using the 4 button format or the advanced features of the FSK and no Kanthal TC. They were hoping to find a large established co that would carry the FSK complete with all the features but needed to concentrate on companies that did not have a contract with Evolv as Evolv contracts contain an exclusivity clause.

With all this talk, ya'll have me a bit anxious. I hope that someone will let me know when and where the next Good sale is, as I definitely want to get a few more Slice/G2's, and from what mjag has posted, maybe those refurb's might be a better/safer purchase than New ones (what do you think mjag ?). SE's or LE's, it don't matter to me.

I have been reading "over there" and am still waiting for "Someone with street cred" to pipe up and tell these people to go back and read what was posted earlier (instead of giving them the short cut), when they insist on using/setting up this chip in a non-standard way, and then complaining that it won't perform correctly. Some don't read the manual (obviously) and still others don't read the past forum posts on how to do it, or even watch what videos are out there, but insist that the FSK chip is not working correctly, and don't want to be told that it is "They're fault". Amazing ! For crying out loud, I'm here taking med's that make me so loopy I don't know what day it is half the time, yet, I can read and understand both the manual and the posts that are written on how to operate this chip. It's not an excuse by any means, but I can understand why some get bad CS from CS Agents that just don't care anymore. Just my little rant, I feel all better now.

Naw 52, don't be. I'm sure with what you already have and the newly acquired you're in good shape. I don't get caught up in all the rest, the early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese. lol
