JAC Vapour Series-B DNA 75w

[tazzle]

I don't like using my thumbnail to open the battery door, so I'm going to attempt(!) a description of how I open it without -- both A (the harder way) and B (the easy way). Either way, click five times first to turn off (because otherwise, you're going to be firing like whoa).

A. Your hands must be dry/non-slippery. If you are right-handed: hold the Jac flat in your left hand with your fingers extended (your drip tip is pointed toward computer screen; mod body is vertical and parallel to keyboard), and your left hand thumb holding it down. Place your right hand, fingertips pointing left, horizontally over the top of the whole mod (and over your left thumb) so that the back of your knuckles are approximately over where the door connects with the body. Your right index finger is at the bottom of the mod, and your little finger is at the top. Your right thumb is is under the mod and pushing up. Your left thumb, at the top of the mod is pushing down.

Push down with the backs of your fingers and pull to the right. It will take a couple of tries, but once you get it, it's pretty easy to get the hang of it.

B. You have a rubber kitchen glove hanging around handy because you are constantly having to twist off difficult atties, etc. You grab the kitchen glove (you don't even have to put it on) and pull off the battery door. Fin.

I do have a rubber kitchen glove hanging around handily in my vape supply drawer

Another way to remove the cover. Hold as shown with thumb over the notch, adds a little grip, squeeze inwards with the thumb, and finger, rock cover to the right.

Initial Impressions

1. Nice and compact...exactly what I was looking for. Same height as the Radius. Not quite as deep (platform width). But significantly narrower than the Radius. You can almost hide this thing in your hand. My highest priority (size) has been met. Very happy with this feature.

2. Hefty. This little fella has some weight to it. Excellent fit and finish. Yes, it is grippy but I wouldn't say it is exactly rubbery. Just about right. No play in the battery door. Low vis seaming. Easy-to-read screen...plenty bright enough. Buttons require very little pressure. Actually I would prefer the buttons require a little more pressure but not a major concern. Battery door requires a fingernail and easily detaches/reattaches. USB cable and port both solid. No problems charging.The overall feel of this device drips with quality...not that dissimilar to ProVape products. My quality expectations with the JAC have been sufficiently met. Very happy.

3. Appearance...not much to write here. It's a sexy mod.

4. Temperature Control...played with it a little bit. Using a stainless steel coil. So far I am getting ZERO flavor. I mean ZERO! I clearly need to play around with this feature more. The menu to set temp control features is a little wonky so I need to get more familiar with it. Watts mode is dead on. Jury is out on temp control.

Conclusion with Initial Impressions: My two biggest priorities in deciding to purchase the JAC Series-B was size and quality. While I have no way of gauging durability seeing I just received it, I can comfortably say this mod has met all my expectations on these two priorities. I have been very spoiled with my ProVape products so my bar has been set quite high. This JAC Series-B is no slouch. For the things I could evaluate, the JAC is on par with ProVape. I prefer the size of the JAC over the Radius but probably like the buttons more on the Radius. Those would be the only significant differences Very happy to this point.

Marvelous, Bronzed, in all respects. I'm thrilled you're so happy with Jac, and I could not agree more with it "dripping with quality". A tip of the hat to Provape, and a glass clink to Jac Vapour. Love your pic, too.

What a lovely portrait!

Now that I've had it a couple of days, I find that I'm sort of naturally acclimating to the fire button sensitivity, but I also like oplholik's thumb rest tip, which I use now, too.

Also, I just really love it. Whatever the opposite is of "buyer's remorse" is what I have. It's absolutely my fave. Thank you, katdarling and DPlongo for being the torchbearers!

And, @Jingles, I hope you get yours before your weekend trip!

You are MOST welcome, tazzlez!

I still find the sensitivity of the fire button to be an ADvantage. To me, it's become a squeezer firer mod, and I love that. (Think Rolo, Preggers, even XVO.)

I have no prob removing the cover, even tho it's snug snug. I just grip it with the inner side of my thumb and forefinger, and bada bing bada boom, it's freeeee.

 

[oplholik]

LOL! We are gonna have a bunch of different ways to do this. Follow along and pick which ever is easiest for you. Have fun.

So woke up this morning to a email from jacvapor with my tracking number, and found out it was out for delivery, but had to do that dreaded thing of working, so got the USPS slip

Got to drive back to Wichita tomorrow after work, but will divert to the post office in Des Moines to pick it up and it can sit next to me for the 6 hour drive.

Two questions:

Will I have to sign for it? 2 coming tomorrow. [Stalking]
One person considers it [Hefty] and one considers it [Light]
Any ideas?

TIA

 

[dobroeutro]

No joy for me today maybe tomorrow...

 

[oplholik]

Hefty, weighs about 30 grams less than my Radius.

 

[mike20]

Thanks, Wish I had a Radius to compare

 

[Nailz]

Will I have to sign for it? 2 coming tomorrow. [Stalking]

Yes you do.

 

[tazzle]

I said "light," but I was wrong! Actually weighing them now, it's heavier than most of my mini mods, but it still *seems* light to me, maybe because it's thinner, so some others feel bulkier in my hand, which just gives me the impression of "heavier." My Balrog and Snow Wolf 75 are heavier, but my presa, picos, ePetite, and eVics are lighter. (I didn't weigh the Provari Minis, but, different battery size, so not really a proper comparison.)

reading this, it occurs to me that maybe I have too many mods. aghh!

Coming for you, Sir Bronze, this is quite a glowing review. To be mentioned in the same sentence as Provari pretty much says it all.

That pic, with the Achilles, is absolutely marvelous!!! I saved it.

 

[mike20]

Thanks for the responses. I think I'm going to like the quick fire button
Just hoping I like this as much as everyone seems to.

Hate waiting for the mailman to sign but hate going to the post office more

 

[Dubminer]

For anyone who has the Lost Vape Epetite in silver.Is the "silver" paint or metal? I want one but hate painted mods and can't work it out by the photos.Thanks for any help.

 

[tazzle]

It's metal, Dubminer!

 

[Dubminer]

It's metal, Dubminer!

Thank you! Definitely my next mod on the list.

I would think that people living closer to the East Coast would have less of a wait than those living out West??

That's very possible, I think I got mine in 5 or 6 days
