Mine awakes when pressing either the up or the down button. Comes on at the brighter setting for about a second and goes back off again.
That's odd. Not that yours awakes either way but that mine doesn't.
Mine wakes with the down button but not the up.
The down button wakes it with a momentary touch but the up doesn't even if I hold it.
You guys are really making a lot from nothing. The Power Button is the Wake button period.
Some seem to have the function turned on and some are turned off in the Hex coding. I used to hack flip phones and it isn't anything major to change in production. Not really worth a Firmware upgrade and not doable on already released D2 since not update-able.
Bump power button
mod activates
Bump up button
Change happens?
(y) unit is functional
(n) Unit is defective
Oh and if blaming anyone, blame Yihi for flipping the switch
Same here. No 2 second delay either. Just works.
Hey Roxy, I have both, while they are both good, I prefer the D2, for form and function. It gets more use than my Sigelei. The D2 just seems more comfortable to me, weight and size,shape. They both are good, time will tell a little more. The only edge that I can find in the sigelei is it feels a little heavier. I have always been more in the Sigelei side for quality but I have to say this D2 is my pick up and go device. a month of heavy use and still no complaints.
Exactly the same here. I got my D2 yesterday, and I'm looking at the Sigelei wondering if I'll keep it!
I some how find my D2 buttons are very stiff.
Which is a good thing but then again it can be irritating again at times.
One think I do not like is the sliding back case, it won't sit seamless, although it is just a micro overhang at the side but being an OCD, I have issue with that.
Overall, D2 as a whole is really very sturdy, no rattling what so ever.
One more thing, there are not venting groove on the 510 connector surface, hence the is a micro floating gap when you install your tanks.

Agree with you on that. The buttons do feel stiff at times, especially with the silicone sleeve oo

Mine have loosened up a bit in three weeks use as my primary mod. Still stiff, but not as uncomfortably stiff as they were. I'm also using the sleeve.
Are you using Bottom Air tanks?(carto/etc.) 99% of todays tanks are side flow. no need for slot.
No gap with Kanger Subtank mini. With the spring loaded 510, it should adjust to most tanks, unless you have a tank with a LONG 510 pin. I have yet to use a tank that does not fit totally flush with the D2.
Paranoid guy here.....
I'm still using a 510 O-ring (8x5x1,5 mm), and in a 1:1 Magma clone even two, between the atomizer and the mod. I do not like scratching its upper surface, and I do not really like to push that fancy, even working, spring-loaded 510. I do not care if the atty sits flush or not, what is more, I really like some air there to act as (convection) insulator.
I warned you, I'm the paranoid guy...... I believe in everlasting mods, if they are cared enough.....
Not mine, though.
That's precisely the behaviour of my mod.
But it lacks of any delay on the firing button. It does not fire immediately though. In order to catch with user commands (the three click to watch the screen for about five seconds and the 5 click to enter the menus), it refrains to take over an immediate 'firing solution' when I click it, but it isn't noticeable that delay. You might notice that, even with thin nickel wires, the clicking does not heat the resistance (it does not go up in ohm values) unless you make some just a bit longer, barely longer.
By far, it is the quickest firing mod I have, and also the stiffest in its buttons, but they are delicious to push, I like them.
I do not have too many mods though, just one mechanical (which does not count for all this matter) and two other VW, not TC-enabled. Waiting for the EVIC VTC mini.... I doubt it will improve this one, even if it is a winner too. At most, both are in pretty similar leagues, with their own little quirks over the other, which might delight to some folks and being despised by others. I hope I won't be disappointed by the incoming one, rest assured I'm more than happy with the D2.
I was a proud owner of an iStick 20W, from their first batches, which have a more noticeable delay (also in order to catch user interaction for firing or entering menus). And that one, even being a good one, was definitively in another lesser league.
So I'm rocking the d2 in tc with a royal hunter. Tried running dual coils and it still failed. Single coil does great. Not sure if it's cuz I can't get it to burn evenly by compressing it like kanthal contact coils. But dual has bad vapor production at even the highest settings. Anyone else have this problem? I know cxress did decent with duals in an orchid. I just feel like maybe I could get better vp if I got duals right but I'm not too worried about it. Anyone else experience this problem?

Dual 26ga 3mm id @ .45Ω in my Velocity cranks clouds & flavor on my D2 just as well as my 3 Li
Just not for as long
Just not for as long
I've had good luck with duals in my Velocity, in Kanthal, Ni200 and titanium. The Velocity has a LOT of room though, which makes good dual nickel builds possible.
With Ni200 duals, I run 28 gauge, 10 spaced wraps each, comes out to just under 0.08 ohms, 3 or 3.5mm ID, and usually run them at 40J/480F with 80%+ VG juice. I've tried 30AWG but the stuff is a pain to work with and vapor production and flavor suffers, even with a lot of wraps to get good surface area. 26AWG, when you build it with enough surface area (8 wraps or more), just takes too long to ramp up, even at 50J.
Titanium, 26 gauge, 3mm 6/7 spaced wraps each, around 0.16 ohms, run it at 32J/480F and like it better than Ni200 for ease of building, durability, better battery life, and it matches Ni200 in vapor and flavor production. It really blows 28AWG Ni200 out of the water with dual 8/9 wraps (~0.2 ohms), but with the 50J limit of the D2, ramp up time suffers too much, so 6/7 is a good compromise.
Not that I really care but I have two of these things - one wakes with down but not up, the other wakes with both...and no I havent checked if the newer one has a FW update...
The problem with dual coils is that you can achieve a working setup if you match each coil one another, as close as possible (same geometry and resistance), but they don't last as long as single, which, as singles do not endure too much, it's a real PITA.
Even if you get a theoretically perfect dual assembly, then you wick it leading to a ruined symmetry. Always one gets different by chance, because the wick is really different, or you slightly modified the geometry as you passed in the cotton. Then they run in parallel but not as equals, and sooner or later one of them gets hotter than the other.......and hell breakes loose.
And if you inadvertently dry your setup, just once, the TC-enabled chip works like a charm, yeah, but the setup got ruined because one of the coils always gets nearer a burnt status and the flavour is lost.
So, for the time being, single will do. Not so big problem.
