My first TC mod box what should I buy

[Paul lamb]

I picked up the Cube X II about two weeks ago. It does a mighty fine job at TC, the only down side that I have seen so far that because it is new there are a few bug fixes and not quite complete. It on the other had is a great vape with Kanthal, and the ability it has going to 160 watts is great because there is some sort of intelligent hardware built in that if you are trying to vape at too high of wattage it will not let you go too high. You can set it at 160 and say you are running a Clapton build that can't handle it it will not kick you off the setting but it will only go as high as 130 watts. I know this because it happened to me.

What issues have you had mate?

I would get either a Evic, or a istick tc40w, with a subtank mini ni200 coil.

That's because your build is drawing more power than what the batteries can put out. Check ohm's law against your resistance and wattage. If it's more volts than what the batteries can produce, the mod knows that and won't let you turn it up that high.

I really hasn't been issues that I have run into, it seems that some other people have been having issues. Mostly user end issues that I have seen. If you have a smart phone you can download the Smok app and look up the "Topic" tab at the bottom. I personally love my Cube. It replaced 3 of my mods,2 of which were iSticks.

How often has this happened and is there a fix as this is the only issue I have read about these devices

I have had it happen a couple times. When it happens the taste of the vapes is a bit warmer than when in TC mode. I usually vape my herakles in power mode at 35 watts so there is no danger when it happens. This is mentioned by other owners of the eVic. There is no fix for it as the micro usb port is a power port only and can not be updated to a data port for firmware updates.

Not quite. A 3.7v single battery Mod can produce over 7v of power. That is BOOST the mod regulates Max Boost and Amperage allowed.

Personally, I'm not impressed with TC. And about half the folks I've seen on here that have tried it feel the same way. The folks that like it seem to love it though. My advice would be to find a device that has all the other zoom-zooms and wham-whams you are looking for and consider TC as an extra perk for you to play around with. Then, if you end up not liking TC, at least you will have a mod you still actually like.

I would have agreed with you not long ago but tc devices have improved vastly since the dna40! I have the snow wolf, ipv3 LIVR and the ipd2. They all work really great and I now only vape in tc. So much stronger and steady temp compared to earlier devices. I'd recommend all these for tc. I would also say that though the dna200 looks to be the ultimate, I'd wait for release and product availability rather than spend too much now with all the newer available tc devices.

buy everything, support the industry !

built in batteries?? so when the battery pack finally quits taking a charge you throw away the mod and all.... seems such a waste of a mod

I have the iPV4. It's not the chipset that I don't like. It's the reduced flavor, smaller clouds, tapering cloud volume, and difficult coiling medium. I do like being able to pick the temp to get the most out of a juice's flavor, but it's not enough to make TC a winner in my book.

Interesting. I don't have those issues. What atty are you using? For me the Smok tc tank is great at flavor and smoke. My older Atlantis is not as strong. My kanger minis work well but seem a bit cooler.

Mainly because it's not appealing, maybe when I'm past the noobie stage I will buy batteries and a different mod as you know we all keep upgrading lol

The Sig 75 uses 1 18650 battery that is user replaceable. The device will charge the battery. So buying one Sig 75 and one Samsung 25R battery will get you going without buying anything else.

A tank I recommend for this is a 3 or 5ML Arctic tank and the NiCoils. I have this set up and it works really nicely. It is a good beginner set up. It is perfect at mid-power.

Sweet-vapes is a good site to check out.

Good luck

I can't understand why no one has recommended a Vaporshark DNA 40 yet.

If you do a google you can get DNA 40's for under £80 delivered and rDNA's for under £100. Personally I would get the rDNA (and did so just this week) as it has a replicable battery, but you can charge it in the unit via USB in about an hour and a half. I have been dead chuffed with mine.
