I have read many threads about the Cuboid fire button sticking, but mine has a completely different fire button problem. Mine is slowly failing... I need to press the fire button pretty hard to get the damn thing to fire now. So Im thinking of just replacing it. I love the display on it, so I'm thinking of going with the Evic VTC Mini or the Realeaux RX2/3. I really like my friends Realeaux RX200 but it's so damn big and heavy, so I like that i can use the RX2/3 in dual 18650 mode. But then I was reading that series mods don't give you anymore life than a single 18650, just doubles your amperage. So I'm currently testing with my wife's Evic VTC Mini. Wat does everyone here think? Will the dual 18650 be better than the single? I normally vape at 25-30w on my Subtank Mini at 0.75-1.0ohms. Once in awhile I casually vape at about 70w on my Griffin with dual Clapton coils (can't remember the resistance, 0.4 maybe?) Thanks in advanced all you smart people! :D

    A series battery configuration will double the input voltage available, not the current.

    While even the best hardware reviewers don't attempt to measure mod efficiency, different mods/chipsets will have different 'sweet spots' where voltage conversion efficiency is better than the mod being operated at some other load, input or output voltage.

    With the above said, in general most dual 18650 mods will (or can) run 2x (or more) as long as most single 18650 mods.

    I currently have a IPV6x on the way (pre-ordered it in MAY) to add to my 2x coral. Oddly out of the mods shown below the Cuboid is the only one currently in service. Personally I like the Cuboid. Why not replace your failing one with another?

    I love my Cuboid also. But I don't know if it's the mod or my tank. But something seems to be burning up the coils in my Kamakazi tank. Waiting to hear back from Samurai Modz to see if possibly a bad batch. For now it's my Crown tank on either the Cuboid or Sigeli. Seen the new iJoy Limitless LUX and Limitless XL and am interested in that as well.

    I've been really happy with my vt133. I have a 213 and the battery life with the same batteries and wattage is 10% better if not more on the vt133. Go figure, Sigelei lied about almost everything about it...they did get the color right. The 213 got very hot after a few hits so they had to be way off on the efficiency rating. It's better than my 150tc too which has a YiHi chip in it. You can configure it to your batteries too so the battery meter actually means someting.
    I don't need to tell you about the TC capabilities of DNA chips...everyone knows.
    There is nothing you can't change about the interface. Any info you want on the screen can be put there. Battery percentage/watt hours, individual cell voltage, amperage, ohm load and about 20 other things.
    I'd buy it for a VW mod just because of all the features, efficiency and customization.
    You can get them for $100 shipped. $110 for the black one.

    Oh and the USB charging works awesome!
    The 213 would charge to 100% and be down to 90% after a few hits. With the DNA chip it's like putting them on an external charger. You can make it trickle charge or rapid charge.
