I saw a post where someone was trying to disassemble their with no success.

Interesting, as the switch on my Natural is fully serviceable.... I've had the entire mod disassembled already, including the switch.... I did see the post you were referring to and the user just didn't have any tools to take it apart and thought he could just do it by hand...

So I was totally going to get the Natural, I was doing surveys for cash to supplement my already over-spent vaping budget. Finally I came across a thread saying it would not fit my batteries and my heart broke. Shattered. I went around looking at other mods and of course have always wanted a GG or such but don't have the money for it. I do not know how I came across this thread but I am so glad I did. I instantly ordered my iSeason from OKC Vapes. I continue to follow this and continue to believe I have definitely made the right choice... Now if it would just stop circling from and to the post office four hours away from here I could find out for sure!

^i saw that and doubt it is...also if it's under load it could vary depending on deliever device so i really wouldn't worry about it, brass makes a great conductive point and i don't think it is the unit so much as the atty that causes a drop under load, not to mention what facts do we have to prove this person even knew what they were doing/talking about lol

That's awesome ! I'm anxiously waiting for pics so that I might be able to follow

I should have it done tonight or tomorrow. This weekend if I can't get the rig set up right that I want to use. :)

I've been too busy to work on it for a few days.


Reviewer on vendors site mentioned a large voltage drop. Can anyone confirm this? Other than that, looks like a beautiful mod.

I too wonder about that review on OKCVapes. I have no way of testing the voltage drop, and googling around doesn't really offer a consensus on how to do it correctly. I can *assure* you from using it that the drop is nowhere near what's being claimed, though. A drop of a volt or more is plainly discernible in vape quality.

I did a seat-of-the-pants test: I measured a battery's voltage in the Provari, set the Provari to that same voltage and took a vape, and immediately put that battery in the iSeason and took a vape. It's (as far as can be discerned) identical, and I'm a pretty picky vaper. Since the Provari is so accurate in delivering the voltage you set it to, I know the voltage drop is minimal at most. I did this test with the stock spring.

If there is any measurable drop I would think it would come down to the spring, which can be easily replaced with a common compression spring as it simply 'threads' into the brass base tube. A spring of a different material might be a better conductor, but until it can be measured I have no way of knowing other than vape quality.

JuniorNA, do you have a Provari or other accurate mod you could try this same test with? I think you and I are the only ECFers I've seen with an iSeason on hand.

Stair- no provari but I have a zmax and lambo 4.0 which are both accurate at voltage as well. My battery measured at 3.9 - changed volts to 3.9 and took 5 vapes - put that battery in the iseason and took 4 vapes - then I had the wife put each device in my mouth and fire for me and I couldn't tell which one was Which.

I even covered my ears so I couldn't hear the fire button :) it was the same vape for me

Test was done with same aga RBa at 1.3 ohm coil
