Not sure what to think

Pretty cool gadget but if you really need this( not you personally) i dont think rebuildables are for you, with a range of .3 ohms at 26 amps its not gonna save you from overdisharging an underpowered battery like a regular fuse would


While the features are cool its going to add a lot of unwanted battery drain to run the oled screen


Here is a link with more descriptions of functions ans some pics.

Like a said it is a cool gadget. Just kinda defeats the idea of a mechanical being ....... Well.... A mechanical, and the other option of just using it as a build checker adds unnecessary wear on the threads and you should aready own equipment to do just that.


If your looking for safety. Just get a fuse.

Just another gadget to try and market to the "I want the mechanical look, but don't care to learn about safety" crowd.

Why not get a 2cent fuse? Or better yet, if safety is a big concern, just get a regulated mod.
Regulated mods are pretty well sorted out these days, and can safely provide more power than sane vapers will ever need.

Im always browsing on vapping gear.
Just like making things more simple.
I do have a ipv mini2, sigelei and a zna box mod.
Actually the zna hasnt made it here yet.
Variety of 18650 batteries on hand.
Ohms and battery tester, cheap eleaf.
Only time I use my Nemesis is when Im farting around.
Like trying various builds and juices. :)
Methinks this has become a hobby.
Only been vapping four months.
Still learning and trying out new stuff.
After 35 years of smoking nasty ciggs, wished that I'd gotten introduced to the vapping world sooner.

10 reviews on it on FT with nothing negative reported.

Heck, the more safety devices we have the better. And this will handle 26A with a single battery, so you can run it down to 0.20 ohms. AFAIK there is nothing on the market right now that will do that. I wonder what the voltage drop is.
My concern would be that plus trying to power an atty and a oled screen i would assume running those electronics, active fuse, meter somekind of microprocesser etc on an unregulated battery will def shorten usable battery runtime

I can see the benefit of something like this, sure it's like stabiliser wheels on a bike for hardened mech users, but for someone new to them it gives them information and safety protection with a display (which a Kick or fuse does not).

When they've had a few builds on it and get a feel for things, they can stop using it or just use it to test builds as we all do anyway.

How many posts have you read that go ' want to blow clouds...what's a meter...35A battery....'

I'm all for it, even at the cost of a little more battery usage. Still looks like an eVic to me though.

We've all been guilty of getting gadgets. If this one gives you piece of mind I say go for it. It cant hurt thats for sure. For 20$ you get to chose between regulated or mech very practical thinking.

Its not a regulation unit all it does is show voltage out and resistance with a fuse built in

well it should be! for 20$ !!!!!! ;-) I guess if the OP likes it its all good but not the kind of thing I would get. It would be cool if all of that was built into a tank.
