Gotta love USPS....NOT!
FWIW, I do love 'em. It's pretty incredible how much stuff they deliver so quickly at such a low cost. Delays happen; trips to Graceland, New Jersey, the Grand Canyon, and Disney World occur. But they almost never lose packages. On the whole, they are amazing.

I have to respectfully disagree.

I ordered 3 mods from Hawaii on the 1st, shipped on the 1st and will be out for delivery on Tuesday. They are already at my state's hub. They DID ship Priority though but that really doesn't mean anything. I've always gotten my stuff fast from Eciggity. Sorry guys. :cry: I really feel for ya. :(
I ordered from them the same day. I went with 1st Class, not Priority, and it is also scheduled for Tuesday. We'll see... it may be going to the Springsteen concert. Bruuuce!

I am very impressed with the innokin Coolfire 4 Plus. Nice size, not expensive, and very good battery life.

And there is a version with a replaceable 18650 battery now available. Have it and it's a very nice unit.

From what I gather it cuts out at 3,6V which means the battery won't last all that long. They might change it but you'd have to buy a new one to benefit from that since there's no firmware upgradability on this mod.

Just something to consider for anyone that's thinking about getting one of these.

True, but if you're using the LG 3000's, you still get a LOT of mileage...

I keep meaning to test it down to 3.6, but I tend to change batteries fairly often, and I keep forgetting to run it down. I'll do it today.

I'm a tootler running around 10W (15W on a super low 1.2 ohm single coil build when I'm feeling adventurous) and I get more than a day out of a battery (3-4 ml juice). 45W and you probably won't get through the day.

Hey, if it works for you guys then that's great. But I hadn't seen it mentioned before except on the Fasttech forum so I just thought I'd put it out there for anyone that's considering this mod.

It's been around here,OTA. I've seen it mentioned a few times. Definitely not the most ideal of situations, but still a marvelous mod, and I truly am getting great battery performance from the LG's.

In my opinion, it's well worth the asking price (YMMV).

Well, charging early won't hurt (and may actually increase) total battery life....

Don't have that particular mod, but with all my replaceable ones, I rarely run them down to shutoff anyway. Since the voltage fall-off from 3.6 is relatively quick anyway, when they get down around there, I swap for a fresh one.

Yeah, other then the two points I mentioned perhaps it appears to be a very good mod. I was looking at the rose-gold version with the build in battery myself, but the size (I'm on a tiny-mod-kick at the moment) and lack of firmware upgradability stopped me from pulling the trigger so far. Right now I'm leaning more towards the Evic VTwo or iLeaf iPower if I decide to get another mod in this size-range, but idk yet. I'm not a heavy vaporist so I might just stick to the tiny ones altogether.

First world problems though, no biggie ;)

Innokin's always been known for making dependable hardware, but if I were going to get the CFIV, it would certainly be the replaceable battery version. While some of us do have the skills needed to replace internal batteries, sourcing them could be a problem. With and 18650, not so. Deeming looms large in my plans for the future.

Yeah, I never used any of their products just yet but I really like their reputation & that's why I started looking in to the IV Plus back when.

As for the bats, I don't do 18650s myself, but I understand why most people have that preference and I certainly don't want to start another build-in vs non-replacable batteries discussion again, lol

Other than that, I'm just gonna spam this pic here too :D

Speaking of pens, I am so bummed... went to a B&M on my weekend trip, and they had 2 novice clones. I've been wanting a novice just because... turned out that neither had a functioning switch. Argh!

I would say get the VTwo. I am relatively sure they're the same mod, but the screen on the VTwo is kinda awesome.

You're not facing the same sort of dooming deeming we are this side of the pond, Oh ;)

After Aug 8, no new products will be allowed. Two years after that, only "FDA Approved" will be legal to sell - and that will be, basically, nothing but a few cig-a-likes. So long term supportablility should be a factor for stateside vapers.
