    OK. Please excuse an old e-cig guy popping in and asking about the newbie new-fangled hybrid stuffis.

    WHY the heck would you want that? What could possibly be advantageous about locking yourself in to a mod that you can't swap out the coil for another type?

    Is this hype? Shill? Normal stuff? Fad? :confused:
    Seems to me, if you really can't swap out the rba...you're insane for even getting it. I must be missing something.

    Why in the world would I want a mod that locks me into only one way to vape when there are lots of Gennies around that will fit an every PV that I have.

    Sometimes you just need something different!

    In my particular case it is a very special hybrid and there is nothing like it as far as chamber, air flow, etc. available that you can put on any PV.

    The a fore mentioned Hero Hybrid:

    FYI...
    All..well let's say most mechanical mods drop when it has a load on it...(smh) when I say load I mean an atty...
    Anyhoo...Vapers need to know if you only have a 3.7 volt batt the highest that device will put out is 4.2v on a fresh battery
    Even APV, VV or VW devices can ONLY put out the max your batt can do, certain circuitry might let u go as high as 5volts but that's it & it won't be for long, (more like a hot minute)You'd have to stack 2 18350 batts that will give you the max of 7.2 - 7.4 volts. And with 1/ 3.7v battery if you do get higher than 4.2volts I promise you it won't last very long....Now as far as a "HYBRID" ...The reason why vapers pay top dollar for a hybrid is because its all one piece & NO load drop what-so-ever. The atty is connected directly to the battery & you get direct & full power to the atty...FYI #2 The Fusionsmod SG-1 works on the Sigelei # 8, 8w, 13, 19 & 19b devices & as far as the Genny, just about any 22mm atty, but there is a list on the website & all of them look great on the Sigelei mods, but the RSST & any of the AGA series fits the best IMO & because the SG-1 doesn't require you to use your mods top cap & it screws in place connecting the atomizer directly to the battery....it is considered a "True Hybrid"....There is absolutely NO load drop at all...a matter of fact the SG-1 improves the the performance of ALL the Sigelei mods it works with... The Nat-1 works great with the Natural & the RSST looks great on this mod as well...
    Before you form an opinion on any device, research it & then research it some more. Not all videos & written blogs are necessarily true, but if you come across a review with proven data like load readings, be it ohms or voltage... actual proven facts...then roll with that. The moment someone starts the opinion with "I think" or IMO, you might want to ask someone who actually owns it & is a veteran vaper...not in age, but with years experience with vaping, tinkering & knows what their talking about & doing a bit more than just buying & using mods. You can use & buy a thousand different mods for a year & it still doesn't make you a pro. (just say'in) I hope this helped some of you & if any questions just shoot me a PM anytime. Happy Vapes & keep it steamy & creamy white..the best kind of vapor there is...:vapor:

    And in case anyone is wondering... I started vaping October 7th, 2009, after surviving an aortic abdominal aneurysm...

    The hero hybrid works great. Relatively cheap too

    Out of the box, I got my Dremel and drilled a nice hole by the atty. This Hero is a character builder with those :censored: pins! I did the hooked paperclip trick, and would always pop a pin out trying to pull wick #4 through the hole! I got out the Dremel again and bored out that hole that the wicks go through. The thing works like a little charm! I like it! This is my first coil build, and was proud to hit the button and see the red glow :banana:
    Mistaree, glad to have you here! Not many people survive abdominal aortic aneurysms!

    Check out my ongoing thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/apv-discussion/435307-hero-hybrid-collection-setups.html

    I have spent a lot of time finding the best performance from the Hero.

    Actually, I read your thread while doing some research on the thing. Good thread, BTW! It would take me forever to get up the gall to work mesh into my setup. Just got myself some Peaches and Cream yarn from WallyWorld today. It does alright for me with some thicker wick and kanthal. The precoiled (pretzelled) wicks they sent just sucked. Glad I ordered some wick and wire along with my Hero (had a hunch)

    Thank You & Yes I am truly blessed. I was in a coma for nearly 3 weeks & the entire ICU & Cardiology staff gave me a standing ovation when I woke up. After my surgeon explained what happened, I was told surgery wasn't an option, since it started 3cm from my heart. The aneurysm left me with 1 kidney & severe nerve damage from the waist down. I was told to get my affairs in order & not only did they give me 6months to a year to live, I was told I'd probably never walk again. Well this July 4th made 4yrs & I can walk with a cane. I believe the doctors didn't think I'd quit smoking after doing it for over 28yrs. And they would have been right. Less than 2wks home, depression set in and I started smoking nearly 3 times more than usual. At 1 point I gave up & I was ready to die, until I lost nearly all my friends, I weighed less than 85lbs & all I had was my 10yr old daughter taking care of me. It was her that changed me & made me realize I needed more than anything, to prove everybody wrong. I remember looking for an alternative to smoking & I found ecigs. In just a month I went from Blu's to Ego's to Mods & I went from 2 & a half packs a day to a pack a week. Then came DCT tanks & I haven't looked back since... I love the fact that ecigs have become affordable & I'm loving the change in attitude about ecigs & I spread the word everywhere I go. I tell people to quit while they still have a choice...Before they have a aneurysm or stroke, before they can no longer work or provide for their family, before so-called friends show their true colors. I lost everything job, house, friends everything except my family & I realized that was all I truly needed... So here it is years later, I still suffer with the nerve damage from the waist down & I have good days & bad days, but I'm in pain every min of every day. I've gotten used to it over the years & yet, I would never wish this pain on my worst enemy. Like the commercials on TV about the perils of smoking, I am a living example of what long term smoking can do & I am a living consequence of what procrastinating & saying "I can quit when I get ready" or "I'll quit next month" or next New Years or perhaps breaking promises to yourself & family has become the norm. Yepper !! I am the living example my doctor shows off every time I'm in for my monthly appointment. He suggests vaping to all his patients that smoke & even though my doc only smokes the occasional cigar, he too has begun to take an occasional vape from his pipe shaped mod. Now, how AWESOME is that ???

    Good question, lol. Part fad, part appearance. I would say the majority of people wanting a hybrid, like myself, have many choices on standby for a backup, in case the coil needs rebuilt. I personally am a fan of the look of hybrids, like the iHybrid line. Less separate parts, everything is streamline and matches in diameter, finish, color, ect.

    Just think of it as form over function ;)

    Okay I said it on Facebook (Melody MsNoSmoke Segda) & I'm gonna say it again... The Richman Hybrid is a high quality device & 24kt contacts, 1.2mm air hole, 3mm wick hole, can be used with 18650, 18500 with a kick or 18350 batts..
