Question; I see some that use Claptons that are 1.5Ω and are suppose to be Kanthal. What are they (how are they wrapped) ?? Hows the ramp up time and wattage requirements ??
That seems pretty high for claptons, I am guessing they would have to be 28g or lower core. To get that high maybe they are wiring in series?

I am just guessing, I generally build between .50 and .1 ohms depending on tank and mod I am using.

Yeah, I know, seems high to me also, then I though that they were talking about SS claptons (over on the other thread) but keep seeing "k claptons" being posted in discussions. I have clapton wire (28/32) but would have to put on a lot of wraps to get up to 1.5Ω, and the ramp up time is horrendous, to me anyway, as I like under 20W vapes. I was just wondering about trying a 1.5Ω clapton with this new FSK chip is all, if it would work for me ya know, but I'm such a tight SOB that I don't like to waste even 1 watt too many on my vape. Oh well, no biggie.

I've used the FSK curve from low to high, up to 100 on some builds with kanthal. I think when I got the first G2 I was thinking it was some kind of delicate electrical circuit but it's not. It's been fun to play with and try to dial in the kind of vape I'm looking for, in fact it's helped me to better decide what kind of vape I like.

For real, I'm finding that out myself. After playing with my NiCr builds I'll go to my Twisted Kanthal builds and try to dial those in, my favorite being 30g twisted K-A1.
I'm finding that this FSK chip gives a lot of room for experimentation, plus I run at such low Wattages and Temps mostly as MTL (12-16 Watts/400°F-460°) I'm not too worried about damaging the chip or burning my wicks even. This FSK chip is unlike any other I have used.

I been only using the "digital watts mode" for the past week or so just to compare the performance of the G2 vs my Sigelei 150 and XCube 2. 25 watts with a 0.3 ohm dual coil. 7 wraps spaced kanthal 24G around 3mm. The performance in wattage mode seems a little better than my other mods. I will go back to xxx mode eventually but nice at least with kanthal to know that the wattage mode works and the battery life seems quite good.

With the 316L no luck but I believe it might just be the wire giving me that metallic taste. The Nife52 needs further testing(my wicking may be off with the nife52 coils, not to mention im trying two new ejuice recipes for the first time with those Nife52 tanks.)

The 316L though my wicking is perfect and there is ejuice in there that i really like and im still getting an off putting metal taste. I have never used this spool of 316L before that I got from fasttech but it is 24G 316L.

Otherwise Im really liking the quality of the G2 overall. For example the battery sled on the G2 is really nice! Effortlessly my 18650s come out and easy to put in after changing a few times. Maybe I wont tear any more battery wrappers with such a nice sled!

That's encouraging to hear about Watts mode on the G2. I have my first G2 coming in to me in a few days, right now I am using (2) Hohm Slice's.

Fasttech 316L wire, that's why I have never bought wire from Fasttech, I trust wire from Temco (where I bought ALL my Kanthal A-1 and NiCr-80) but, Fasttech wire I am just a little leery of their quality, like when China says that a mod is calibrated to a certain wire, say 316L, then folks here on this forum say that the TCR is closer to 304 SS, I have to wonder if the mod is miscalculated or the wire is mismarked or of dubious quality, so I'm just not comfortable getting wire from Fasttech for myself, ya know.

The only dual 18650 mod I have to compare to is my Cuboid, but good to here about the battery sled being of noticeably better quality. It's so often all the little things that either make or break a mod/atty. It seems that HohmTech has really tried to get us a quality product, as much as possible that is. Sure, there's gonna be some screw ups here and there that get through, but on the whole it seems like they have a solid product. Customer Service I'm not sure about, the Jury is still out on that one, for several reasons, 1) some people will never be satisfied no matter how hard one tries, and you can see their displeasure being shown in post after post, and that alone will skew the results, 2) I personally have not had a Customer Service experience to talk about concerning HohmTech, all my mod's are working fine as far as I can tell.

I've been playing around with both blue and silver. Other than the form factor, they've worked great but I will go over to update the firmware for better battery life even though they still last longer than when I was running the Cuboid in TC mode.

I got a FB account for easy communication and video chat with immediate family since most of them don't know anything else exists on the Internet. It also makes video chat easy without having to install Microsoft applications on my Linux system (Skype). Some of my family members joined the clan group though so now I'm getting all these friend requests from distant relatives I've never met.

Finally !! Got my Blue G2 today in the mail, took a couple days longer to ship this time around, for some reason, IDK why. Now, I have to wait till Christmas morning to unwrap it. 1 day won't kill me though. Merry Christmas to ME !!!!!!! ;)

Ya'll have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. :thumbs:

I just did a rebuild on my Lemo/Slice combination and took out my NiCr coil and replaced it with a 30g Double Twisted Kanthal A-1, 3mm, 6/5 wrap, 1.40Ω coil. A first time for me using Kanthal wire in my HΩ Slice SE.

After I got the Lemo built, I cleared my Slice by pressing the fire button till the screen read "Connect Atomizer", then put my newly built Lemo on. Being as this was a first for me using Kanthal, I set my temp at 410°F, 16 Watts, xXx mode, and set the FSK at 6% and went up by .5% till it fired, and that was at 15%, so I then waited till my Lemo got cold again, and started at 13% and went up by .1%. When I got to 14.6% it fired at 410°F. The vape was a little cool so I raised the temp to 420°F and liked that, so I think I will keep those settings. :thumb:

I'm using KGD as wicking and DL/wide open airflow on my Lemo :headbang:, and Rayon/NiCr 80 in my Fev3 and 4 with tight MTL/1.45mm and 1.50mm air hole inserts (the smallest air inserts that came with each Fev). :vapor:

My (2) HΩ Slice SE's are really performing Stunningly Perfect for me, couldn't be happier with them :thumbs:. I am looking forward to opening my Blue G2 LE later today when family gets here and presents are opened. :rickroll::toast: :rickroll:

You are going to be impressed at how well built the G2 is.
Merry Christmas.

Here is my NEW Dodger Blue G2 LE, topped with my Lemo (FW version 2.5.5);

Bit bigger than the Slice huh, but it will push a lot higher. See VAPORCUBE has restocked but at a much higher price. Good you got it while the getting was good.
