nice Tony..this one sure works great..I like it better than it was..seriously..4 times out of ten I put the stock one down it would reset to the 3.3v setting and i'd have to do the whole rigamarole again to get it to the 4.2v setting..this way who cares it's always on..love it!

Still working

They replaced it for free. I hope it better then the telescope. That thing sucked.

good to know about the telescope..I was looking into bolt's before and just read failure after failure..mostly button and wiring which should be easy enough to fix like the EGO mod if it happens to you..

on a side note..Healthcabin sent me a new control module for my EGO mod so that's pretty cool of them..didn't have to send back the other module which would have not been worth it..still like the mechanical switch for it though..but the light was pretty cool on the other one..

I actually rewrapped my did for 1.4 ohm. I like running .8. But I know better. Another week and I'll have a real pv.

I'll throw my two cents in on this subject. I agree with getting yourself a good mechanical mod before anything else. The Provari type of mod are great to have, but what do you do when it fails for some strange reason and it has to be sent in for repair? The best advice is to have a backup. And the best backup is a cheap mechanical mod that will always be there and be ready assuming of course you have a charged 18650 battery at the ready! Consider a M1 or M2 stainless steel tube mod that you can just tuck away "for emergencies." These mods are available in Canada for $29 and $59 respectively and are a great insurance policy if your #1 unit fails imo. Not to mention that it is an extremely better alternative to going back to cigarettes!!!:ohmy:
