You're going to want to add the Sbody Macro by VaporShark. It's 22x35x75. Just makes the cut at $99, and it's an 18650 Temp Control DNA 40 box mod with zip charge. Held one, pretty nice. Hard to believe it holds an 18650.

Yeah... I have been watching that one ever since it was Released by Fimarn.

Just an FYI...

I got to the bottom of the Illusive Fimarn SBody Mini D-15 and why it was Not Released.

It appears that Vapor Shark has bought the Rights to it. And is selling it under the name Sbody Macro.

SBODY Macro (Red) - SBody Macro - Advanced

Not sure why they are calling it a "Macro"? When it started Life as a "Mini". LOL

I also see that it is Now 30 Bucks more than what it was going to be Sold at by Fimarn.

Did y'all see the new one at DV, similar to the Presa, but with removable battery? I kind of like the copper/golden color. And my instincts say there might be another here also so inclined...

OLA X Hero 30w Mod - Copper (Golden)

Got one of those from FT a couple months back...
DSC06621s.jpg


Cloupor Min in the middle, Istick 30 on the right, for comparison.

Use a coin, key or whatever to open the battery compartment. Nice performer, seems to be as accurate on settings as anything else I have. (I.e. same "experience" with the same topper/coil/flavor at the same settings as the Cloupor, SVD2, etc.)

It IS heavy, but not objectionably so to me. Feels very solid and well built. Adjustable 510 pin. I don't charge via usb, so won't say anything about that, but if someone want to use it that way, remember that they say it CHARGES via USB, it's not a pass thru! (That seems to be why some people smoke their mods... :shock:)

Is that a gold color kayfun, or their "rose gold" (copper) colored? I have an EHpro "gold" colored one, not the shiny polished gold, but the one that looks more like rubbed brass.

Although I prefer the battery-life of my LiPo box mods to the 18650's battery-life, it would be nice to have one with a removable battery; got a couple of 18650s that don't get much use anymore, since I've started using the 18500s more in my tube mods.

The Wismec Presa has a "a revolutionary firing switch design"..."The firing button is on the device is very unique and is almost the length of the mod. The design allows to fire the mod comfortably in any way it is held."

Presa 40 Watt Variable Wattage Mod by Wismec Joyetech

Whereas...the OLA X Hero appears to have a run-of-the-mill fire button on one side of the mod that just happens to look like the Presa.

OLA X Hero 30w Mod - Copper (Golden)

Am I seeing this correctly??? :shock:

Yes, the EHPro "warm gold" aka rose gold. The "regular" gold is closer to the Ola's color, but still not a perfect match.

Yup. The Ola has a smallish fire button on the slanted top portion of the mod. But easy to "find" and fire :)

That's perfectly ok, and I'm not a poor housekeeper..... Just a non-existent one. ;) (I gave the spreadsheet to John Q. Public awhile back.)

Thank you for posting the link.

No no, no such inference intended! I was aware that it was John Q's, and that's WHY I did the housekeeping. I'm not only a Tootler, I AM John Q! :)

Very cool! I may put one of those on my wish list. :thumb:

I actually like that smaller btn much better; with my CF4 and my iSticks, I've gotten used to grabbing them between the fire button and the lower buttons, so the Ola's smaller btn would suit me a great deal better.

Not real spendy, and you already have your 18650 setups.

I'm finding it very comfortable to hold, despite its heft. Fire with either the tip of my index finger or the flat bone just above the first knuckle.

I think setting it on the slant does improve comfort. Like you, but on my Cloupor, I hold it that way, then "pull" the index to fire. With the OLA it's more like a relaxed fist grip, with the index finger "free".

(Well, that made sense to me when I typed it! :party:

Well, I'm about to pop for a custom etched CF4 from Phiniac, for my no-smoke-a-versary present, so it'll be a little while till I get another mod.

I *always* fire with my thumbs; always have, ever since my first vv3. I'm very clumsy, and with my thumb on the fire button, I have more control of the mod in my hand, less prone to drop it, and with my usually-long nails, forefinger just isn't right for me; I generally keep my thumbnails shorter, since it makes picking things up less troublesome. Dunno if the weight would trouble me; the CF4 is a good bit heavier than the iSticks, but I'm used to it now -- my Sigelei Zmax with a Magma on it is about the same as the CF4 with a titanium Achilles on it. During the brief period I was fooling with the Evic-VT before I sold it, I found it *very* heavy, but it didn't bother me.

The CoolFire...... it's sooooooooooooo like last month! ;)

They're still flying out at the speed of light, our lil itty bitty mods. But this lil guy has grown on me, big time. Please don't tell @Kent C but it's rivaling for top spot for my O & A mods.

'Dria, I have a feeling you'll love it, too. Congrats to you.

Of course the Phiniac artistry on the mod and the Cerotank doesn't hurt none. ;)
