Yes, of course it's all about taste but also bout opportunity - sometimes I cannot really walk around with a big mod, that's a no go. And at the moment I use a provari mini with penelope V4 on top, not really huge stuff, but it makes more than an eyebrow raise. Something like Penelope + Proteus wouldn't or would less, at least.
Of course I'm not expecting the same battery life as the vaporhsark mentioned above, nor I'm hoping to push 100 W and go for cloud chasing; it's something different.
Still, the aesthetics of box+atom hurts me, I can't do anything about it.
I mean, I saw this:

And ... it's ok, I guess. It's shorter than a tube, yes, at the same time it's wider, so I don't really have the feeling of saving space.
But I see people walking around with stuff like this:

Come on guys, let's be serious... :lol:

Anyway, I'm aware I'm derailing the thread - sorry about that.
Let's hope for news soon!:)
You are right Lo Zio. And I dont see any reduce of the length in reality. GG4S for example is at 77mm in height, takes a 18650 inside and a Tilemahos on top. What I see is a fat mod without a reason

Just for the purpose of demonstration...

This combo is not overly tall.
Also shows why I'd prefer a slightly taller tank for my Tilemahos.
Another plus for a fat mod, it's easier to hold when getting on in years - like me[emoji37]

Guys tube and box are both ergonomic. You cannot say something is not comfortable until you try it and see how you hold it.

A tube is ergonomic for a fingers hold.

A box is ergonomic for a whole hand hold.

Try to hold a tube in your hand by setting it in your Palm and it is painful and uncomfortable. Try to hold a box with fingers and it is painful and uncomfortable.

We should remove the idea of comfort from our heads because there are really ergonomic shapes of boxes (round on the edges etc...) that really fit your hand like a piece of puzzle and there are other shapes that can be comfortable as well.

Regarding height a box will always be shorter IF it has a bottle/atomizer inside it or dual batteries or an electronic chip. If I need those things I would always go with a box (remember a box is not a square, it is anything not classified as tube :D)

I agree again Lo Zio. Keeping a box in hand is not what I would like to do for my vaping. What I like most is a tiny 18650 mod like GG4S with a small atomizer on it like Tilemahos with serious capacity. And thats what I always vape. Of course I would prefer a side button GG but it will be bigger. Except we find a way for a side button GG at the length of GG4S. That would be really something!

My opinion is that boxes are made for pockets and not for hands Aal lol

You would never like to smoke your analog cigarette keeping the packet in your hands and a cigarette sticking out of it. I am not talking about electronics etc but only about the look, the feel and how comfortable it would be

YES! I'm working on a design for that, actually a couple, which I will send to you to perfect ;)
Been thinking a lot about it and jotting down ideas here and there, but I can picture it perfectly in my head!
Wish I had a 3D printer though, that would help! :D

Hi guys, FYI I used a temperature control device with penelope V1. I used NI200 wire and silver for NR. Worked fine. You just need to keep in mind to put the temperature a little bit below what it should. With Ti wire it will be better for sure because it is higher resistance.

So for all of you having penny waiting for proteus there is hope :D

Aal, be sure that NR-R-NR wire works better than bare wire. No hot spots, that is the most important on TC devices.

Maybe not a lot of people have understand the purpose of TC devices and unfortunately TC devices havent reached their purpose, that is to prevent the burn taste. If a new device cant do that, its simply another electronic device. And that was my only purpose when I started making VIR 4 years ago.

But TC devices arent good right now because of many reasons, but the most important is that they try to control uncontrollable wires (wires with legs). To my opinion, the only solution that will solve at least this issue, is springomizer. And of course a device that doesnt simply keep temp at a specific level. Then we would have made the perfect vaping device. Because we have to keep our health in perfect condition. That is the purpose of e-cigs.

Nothing else matters.

Thank you kefton :)

Yes, I will make it for all GG atomizers. Its the new way for vaping to my opinion and its the best way for all people, not only for people on ecf.

I will announce the news about Proteus when I will be ready :)
