    I wouldn't be so certain about that... read the info on Vapor Tek site... it claims that the chip is made by Clouper... the SX350 is made by Yihi. I had read the same info on Cloupor's website but I'm unable to find it now. In addition... the SX350 in it's 30w mode ( it's upgradeable to 60w now but has gone to 35w, 40w and 50w ) is rated from 5w-30w originally. It has both buck and boost circuits. I believe that Tobeca is about to release a ZNA clone using this chipset... Zgripper 36 by Tobeco - Vapor Tek USA On that last statement... I'm basing it on the specs that it will use the YiHi SX350 chipset since they match so closely.
    Yeah I see what you mean , the cloupor turned up in a search for sx350 devices , particularly that site , they do have an sx330 device 150 watt upgradeable to 200 watts . 150 watt Green Leaf/Pioneer4You IPV 3 with latest SX 330 v3S chip - Vapor Tek USA

    Said it could take 18650 but I'm thinking it will take the 26's too.

    No.. the Cloupor T5 only takes 18650's

    Ok... back to the SX350 subject...

    It seems a new "Vamo" styled version that supposedly uses the SX350 has been released and is available on fasttech's website

    $44.86 E-Holly 7-35W Variable Wattage APV Mod - 1*18350 / 1*18650 / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

    I noticed a few interesting things in the displayed features list...

    It's range is 7w-35w ... it also has thermal protection similar to that listed for the Cloupor T5

    I also really like that they list the capabilities... ie on a 3Ω coil max output is 7.75v. On a 2.5Ω it can reach it's max amps of 6.7a.

    What I really found of interest is that it shows at 1.5Ω the max voltage is 5.47v.... I haven't built a 1.5Ω coil for my KSD Vamo 30w yet but I do have a 1.7Ω on it now and I'm getting 6v out of it now at 21.5w. I guess I need to get around to rebuilding a lower ohm coil to see how mine compares but it is starting to look like it may about match the output capabilities of the one I already have so it may also end up disappointing others as the model I have has done.

    Another minor thing of interest... If you select the 20w version from the drop down... one of the pics show's Kangside on it which may mean KSD reworked their's and has re-released a second model.

    I did notice a big discrepancy between the one I have and the one they list... mine weighs in at a hefty 178g empty... they show 208g on the FT site but I suppose that may also include packaging. Mine comes in a 245g with packaging for what that is worth.

    Damn, dude! You need to go on a crazy sampling frenzy like right now. I'm particualry curious about your take on RBFS's Count Caramel, KillRY4, and Captain Honey Pepper. I hope you don't purposely leave them for last now that I mentioned them. :p

    BTW, not to put you under any more pressure, but I believe home extractions (macerations) are mostly reverse steepers. So you better get started on those as well. :)


    Voltron, buddy!! KillRY4.. RUN, don't walk.. don't stop at Go. GET IT!! Nom nom nom!!

    It's bright, it's layered, it's downright bloody delicious!


    Mini-review posted on the NET thread:
    KillRY4 from RBFS in a KFL at 1.3ohms and 4V.

    I approached it with some trepidation due to having read the seasoned reviews of it on here. As I took my first hit of it, my sweet-tooth went into overdrive, sending subliminal messages to my brain and glands. ZOMG!! Instant drooling idiot.

    The tobacco presence is stronger than FVFRY4 from MOV and yet the casings or whatever magic went into the sweetness is more pronounced. The flavours are very similar to what I would term as an RY4 and thus I think the name is well suited to the juice.

    To me, as somebody that loves heavy hitters in small vape sessions but really appreciates a mild-mid hitter over the course of the day, this is a Killer RY4. Love it!!

    Got one and I like it. I'm looking at getting another mech. The next one will be a single tube. I bumped the Magneto off the desk again and popped the threads in the center section again. I got them to pop back into place but it is a weak point in this type of mech. Just have to decide what I want. No I'm not looking at the Panzer.

    Hey guys, I'm about to order a Magma clone from fasttech and noticed they have hundreds of other models for cheap. Can anyone suggest a good RBA/RDA to buy along with the Magma? Perhaps something small and portable that resembles Kanger T4 clearomizers. I like how I can hit the T4's for just a couple of seconds to reach my desired puff size. I'll appreciate any recommendations.

    With the smaller ones the only two that come to mind are the Igo-WS and the Patriots. If you want to take the Clearomizer route, you could go for the mini Nautilus or similar. Not easy to rebuild though..

    hmmm odd request... seems everyone is looking for more juice volume instead of less... only thing I can think of is the HH357 atty but its pricey

    I have tried a bunch of different clearos/tanks (several Aspire and Kanger), and it seems to me that the bigger the tank, the airier the draw. Also, bottom coiled ones seem to mute or diffuse flavors to me, plus it ruins the remaining juice inside the tank as you vape them. In comparison, the 1ml limit on the T4's doesn't really allow the juice to get ruined, and the top coil gives me a more intense flavor. I'd rather carry a 3ml bottle around to refill, than putting the whole quantity inside a tank. So yeah, less volume does seem to work for me. Anyway, I'll check out the RBA's you guys mentioned. Thanks for the suggestions.

    You drop the Panzer off the desk and you'll crack tile.
