New EHPro SPD A5 Box Mod on the way...

[graywoulf]

So I just ordered my first box mod today which was the EHPro SPD A5. I know this is a clone of something else but I don't know what as of yet, but I would be interested to find out. I guess I will need to buy some nickel wire for the TC part to work correctly but I will but I will be using it with my subtank mini and nano mainly but I did recently buy my first dripper so I will get to experience that as well. This purchase is a step up from my Vamo V7 APV which I still use and like. I hope this new box mod will last me for a while.

It's not a clone. It's their own design with their own in-house chip.

Well, that is interesting news. Thanks! I thought for sure that it was a clone. So, I will have to wait a while for the possibility of silicone covers or skins for it. Other than that, I just wish it could be used as a pass through device but for the price of $42 I won't complain about that.

It's a nice mod physically, however the temperature control unfortunately does not work very well.

But hey, for the price, a decent 50W VW box mod isn't bad. And you can kind of get temperature control working, sometimes.

So Im looking at this from my supplier, they dont have TC listed as a feature, rather temperature protection. I assumed that this meant there was a safety feature that would prevent the battery from overheating. Ive been a Mechie forever and Im new to box mods. I dont want/need TC right now, just more power to run different coil configurations, triple coil builds on 6 post systems, twisted Kanthal, Claptons, etc. I guess the real question is do I need more than 50w to run these configs?

It should be noted that I like .6-1.2ohms dual coil set ups on my mechs. I want to run these configurations between .3 and .5 ohms

I think some of those builds would require a bit more power to ramp up quicker. As for this box, I have seen a couple reviews that paint this box as a poorly executed design with much needed work on the board. Hopefully they will address these issues. I like the idea of the battery access door, but it's flimsy and prone to early failure rendering this box useless. A 22mm atty has overhang, not a deal breaker, but some would find this off putting. The board, well, it doesn't work properly. Better devices are out there.
