I'm way to anxious. I found out a local shop is getting some ihybrids soon and I'm planning on buying one. I switched to gennys about a week ago and can't go back to a my carto tank for a main vape. I was about to dish out money on a provari but i've had such a change in vaping with just a bolt and an agat+ that I'm convinced the ihybrid with be well worth it! Can anyone with a hybrid and a aga style compare the vapes?
ihybrid dreams!

although i do not own a ihybrid, i can tell you that it would be closer to an aga with a mechanical mod, then an aga with a vv device. an aga with a vv devise has no comparisons to an i hybrid. an ihybrid is built for massive clouds, super low resistances, high amps, these just cannot be obtainable with vv devices. now with the aga with a mechanical mod, you can get to these power ratings, although it probably still wouldnt be able to achieve it all the way, for the efficiency of the ihybrid is alot better. the unit itself is just more efficient in that the power going in is 100 percent. nothing is lost due to connections and contact points. the materials used in the contacts points are better for conductivity then in an inexpensive genesis atomizer and mechanical mod. its probably comparing a jet engine to an airplane.
imo, the 28g wire produces the best flavor, also i believe that flavor increases as the voltage decreases. to me a 32g coil @ 5 volts is ok, but a 28g @ 3.7 volts is alot better. of course the set-up has to be correct for comparisons. so both a vv device and mechanical mod will produce the same great flavor, no difference provided the vv device can accomodate 28g wire and low resistances. some vv devices can only fire coils above a certain resistance. imo the flavor is peeked with 28g wire and between 13 to 17 watts.
I agree with vapdivrr, as noted in another thread....
I only recently got into Geni's and luckily I got influenced by a lot of the Pluid vapers (in the thread about MMRP)... they raved about Geni's and especially the iHybrid so much, despite my "veteran" wisdom... throw that out. All that I've learned about VV and VW and matching resistance to power; this is a whole new ball game where the iHybrid and like is concerned... yes juices do taste better at heretofore unheard of low resistance to power...
Two things ;
1. You have to learn to do the coil/wick right
2. VV or VW regulated devices with 1.5 and up Ohms coils on a geni are good too... just not the peak experience.
I have a Cobra 1.8 Ohm coil on my Segelei Zmax at 9.5w, which is more than i normally use it on a conventional atomizer, and it is good. Very good. I think its because the wick is wicking fast enough to match the liquid to the heat to keep it from burning.
But it still doesn't compare to the brilliant blast I get from my iHyb at less than 1.0 Ohms...( vapor and flavor )
I would guess that a good Geni and a mechanical like the Poldiac, Gus, etc is the same thing as a Hybrid device, you just have to buy both components.

Well i got my hands on one today! I have no idea how to upload a pi from my phone but im already enjoying the heck out of this thing. 3/4 32 kanthal with a fresh 18650 is just about perfect. I may try it out with the kick later but im liking this a bit more tgan my aga for sure. Could just be the excitment but its a great vape!
I was talking about 28g A1 Kanthal (and/or 30g) with a 3 / 2 wrap... this device was made for it....
Unfortunaley my 28 is still in the mail. Right now 32 is all ive got. Gotta work with what I have till it arrives.
Finally got a AC9 coming. I missed out so many times on the ihY's, I gave up trying. Will be running it on my Sigelei for now. Want to run it on a mechanical (GGTS), but have to wait 6 months. My hope is this will satisfy my craving for taste and vapor plume. These last posts were just what I needed to hear, thanks to all.
Using a AGA T on the Sigelei now and like it pretty well. Still playin with this set up.
Vape it, Vape it gooood. (Devo)

didnt mean to bust your ballooon... no. i think this super low res is still scary for a lot of vapers. it just seems to go against common sense, but its the results that matter.
I got one from the last sale ... it was a standard with the new switch bottom cap...
Then yesterday, I read one of the iHybrid thread regulars say he was putting his standard up in the classies... I pm'ed him and although he was asking about $20 more than new.. but i know how hard it can be....i snagged my second iHyb. i figure i'm set now.
Actually when the standards went on sale, i was signed up for 310vpaers email notices.. so i was ready.

No worries balloon intact
i intend to try different wire get this thing really performing. Just takes trying things out and not burning juice.
I forgot to mention that the Cobra has a much smaller area to work with than the iHybrid too.... i don't know that i could get a 30g let alone 28g coil wrapped... i've tried and gave up so far.
i guess the point is, unless you have a mechanical mod, you can't play low ball anyway...

i noticed that you said you may try a kick in your new ihybrid, i believe that is limiting the device. as far as i know a kick limits you to only 10watts, thats like putting training wheels on a race car. i havent really been paying to much attension as far as kicks in the last few months, so maybe they go up higher now, but they used to have a 10watt limit. the only advantage for a kick is that it keeps the batterys at a constant voltage like a vv device, but you really dont need that, for the drain isnt that bad. you can vape a mechanical mod all day and then some and still have a great vape, and not be limited to 10 watts. also the 28g will be really nice. a 2/3 wrap of 28g will rock. also when running low resistant set-ups, one really inportant thing is to have the best batterys, do not use anything but hi-drain batterys. one of the best is the aw imr's. there are some others that might even have a better capability for holding a lower amp load. but the aw imr's are the standard. you may have these anyways, but if you are using some cheapy trust fires or some thing i would reccomend upgrading to higher drains.

i think you will really enjoy the ac-9, it is far more easy to set-up then the aga for one. also wicks better. it is so smooth when set-up correctly. the only thing i didnt like was the new spring attachment to the positive post. i just felt like i wasnt getting a good connection, so i just took it off and am using it with the nuts, just like the aga. maybe i didnt give that design enough time, just used to the regular connection. good luck
Vapdivrr you have a AC9 lucky they are very nice.Some day I like to have one and Ihdy's but I'm going to try out the Mechanical Mods and get away from the Zmax hope to love the Vape that much more.
yes i am definately loving the ac-9, mostly on my mechanical mod, but i can also set it up on the provari with an awesome vape as well. got a caravela coming soon to mate with the ac-9, that will be a nice marrage.
That's a great question- I just compared the two in a video recently, it's posted here in its own thread
The iHy is awesome in every way. As far as performance goes, it's really been second-to-none for awhile now.
As far as the Provari, I finally just got my first one, and it's good for certain RBA builds, but the type of coil that you set your RBA up with for use on the 'vari is a bit different from the super low-ohm, 2/3 wrap builds that you would run on unregulated stuff. The main reason for this is that the Provari is limited to 3.5 amps, so you just can't get the current from it that you need to power ultra-low-res coils.
I would say go for it, and grab an iHy if you get the chance. You've already found mech vaping, and for RBA's at least, there still isn't anything better than that (yet)- as far as power, flexibility, reliability, and durability are concerned- to run 'em on. Hybrids really take it a step further by maximizing the conductivity (the iHybrid is exceptionally conductive) by removing the 510 connection, which also happens to be a weak structural point too.
