Pclarity, mine is the same, requesting a replacement tomorrow. The fact that someone stated their nautilus mini sits flush, mine has a gap and sits crooked. You can see that the 510 is crooked even with no atty on the device.

Did yours come from elev8?

No mine came from Vaporrange. I sent a report via their contact us. We'll see how it goes.

So how is the battery life stacking up? Average? Stellar? Eats 'em out and spits 'em out?

Battery life seems typical.
1.5ohmish toppers give a good long run. .5ohm cut time quickly to 4-6hrs. depending on use.
Thought there was and issue, but I am now thinking one of my R25's is weak. Panasonic CGR's are holding about 2hrs. longer.

No mine came from Vaporrange. I sent a report via their contact us. We'll see how it goes.

Wishing you the Best in getting this handled.
I am truly enjoying the (2) I received from Vapor Range, however I'm done with them. Not one communication from Purchase to receipt.
That is just not good business practice.

Thank you!!! I am so excited. Got all my ducks in a row, am ready to get my mod & batteries! Come on Birthday money, lol
Samsung 25r or LG HE2 are both very, very similar in performance and your wp2 will charge them fine. I picked up a bunch of LG HE2's on Amazon for $6.20 ea (in packs of 5) but you can get 2 for under $15 shipped (25r or HE2).

They are a B&M type store ... How about just calling them on the phone if you have questions or concerns?

Got mine there too. Haven't received it yet.

Yea mine wash shipped on the 8th and received on the 13th! I hate this time of year for shipping. Usually 3 days max.

Also, concerning the memory presets it seems on mine that there is no way of adjusting wattage without it turning into a memory preset once the fire button is pressed it's locked in to whatever memory preset you're in. No big deal just takes a little getting used to.

Someone mentioned that the flavor was "off" anyone else experience anything like that?? I'm coming off a Cana Mod so I feel there is a difference. Maybe the Cana delivered a different signal? I use the IPV Mini in DC-DC mode, I think this Yihi chip would be more accurate than Cloupors??

Concerning the off flavor, I'm not sure about the cloupor but those of you coming off the istick to the IPV mini. Remember the istick is PWM and measures in mean rather than RMS therefore it fired much hotter than normal so if you were vaping a particular tank at 8 watts on the istick you will more than likely want to Vape that same tank at about 10 watts on the IPV mini for a comparable experience and make sure your IPV mini is set to DC-DC.

Flavor change -
Not accustomed to various power delivery systems and adjustment to balance.
Used to vaping at (x) watts and assuming all devices will be the same at (x) or something is wrong.
Switching from a poorly regulated mod to a well regulated unit or vise verse.

Power output:
Mean Vs. RMS
PWM Vs. DC-DC
Even the internal output side resistance that can effect final power calculation

This is why they all have adjustment capability.

Not setting Memory during adjustment. Make the last adjustment with the + button
i.e. 7watts - Go to 6.9 watts and increase by.1 to 7watts
Now Vape

This simply isn't true for my unit. Any type of adjustment made once the fire button is pressed it is locked in.

Now is anyone's ohm reading off?? My 1.1 reads .9 and my other atty which is 1.4 reads 1.3

My Ohm reading is spot on. When changing toppers, it won't reflect the new ohm reading until the fire button is pressed, at least that's how it is with mine.

I received an RMA# from elev8, sending it back tomorrow for a replacement. Anyone dealt with replacements through online vendors? I assume that I send the unit back, they receive/inspect and then send a replacement?

I've never had a mod that gave me the ohms without pressing the fire button, which one does that?

But yes, that is how it's done, you send it, they inspect it, then send you a new one if the defect falls under the warranty coverage. Plus elev8 is one of the better companies to deal with. At times they get bogged down with e-mails so it takes awhile (couple days) sometimes. but they always have come through for me.
