Anybody know the best shipping option from 3F? There is 2 usexpress options for $1 or $2, is that the way to go or just epacket ?

I order the Cylon from 3F and chose us express line 2 whatever that means. It was $2.10 and there was a $1.80 option and the free option. I figured for $2 I’d try it and maybe I’ll get my Cylon faster. Anyway I’ll post my thoughts after I receive it and I can’t wait to here all yours.
I own 2 Smoant Charon TC and 1 Battlestar. In my opinion they are the best value mods on the market. I also own a Lost Vape 75w dna mod the price of that one mod exceeds the total cost of my 3 Smoant mods. Is the Lost Vape worth the difference? It has better overall package quality and if you enjoy hooking your mod up to a pc and playing with settings then maybe it is the better mod. At 4 times the cost I don't think so. The Smoant mods are remarkable performers and have proven reliable in my house.
I ordered the Cylon because the last of my 3 reuleaux rx2/3 died last week. On the first the screen died, the second I got the "no atomizer", the third as of last week reads the ohms at random numbers. My Smoant mods have been flawless since I bought them. I have only one negative about the Charon and that is the shorter battery life. I have not seen much mentioned about this but the Charon gets about 1/3 less battery life than my other mods.I can live with that for the overall look and performance.

The only DNA advantage is temp control but IMHO Smoant Gaia TC is very close if not even better than the DNA
I don't own a Charon however the Gaia battery life was more than my other mods
That’s interested, I wonder if they changed the battery cutoff? The Smoant mods I own, Charon TS & Battlestar, both cut the battery off at 3.5 roughly. I think that’s why many people notice less battery life. I don’t mind because it increases lifetime of my batteries and getting a small bit longer before battery swaps isn’t important to me.
By chance have you ever checked what the voltage was when you changed batteries on the Gaia or adjustable. I’m wondering if it has more battery life because of a lower cutoff voltage or because it runs more efficiently.
The only Smoant I own is the Charon TS 218. It cuts the battery (Samsung 30Q) at 3.2 or 3.3 volts consistently. I wonder why there is a difference between our mods...
Mine cuts off at 3.4-3.5 as does my Battlestar. Everybody I’ve talked to about this says theirs does the same. This is the first I’ve heard of a Smoant mod going lower. It could be your mod is different or it could be discrepancies in the devices we are using to read the battery voltage.
First impression
Solid build quality, taller & lighter than the GAIA, feels & looks great in hand, leather on the sides provide a nicer grip, big & responsive fire button nicely placed & fires instantly with no delay, absolutely no rattle at all, I confirm battery door is fixed on the retail version, menu is straight forward & easy to navigate, big & bright LED screen

One's enough, think I'm only waiting because I ordered tarnish. It's not as if I don't have other mods I enjoy using while I wait. Besides a little green in your life is a good thing in my book. Good to hear you are liking the Cylon.
just noticed this thread. had mine a little over a month. Got a review coming next week i'll be posting here at ECF as well. I didn't test it yet that'll come this weekend so i can get the actual specs, but as far as usage goes TC works great with everythiug i've thrown at it. the menu system is great. they have full curve mode as well as preheat settings like the charon TS and it's all programmable on mod. center 510 allows dor 30mm attys without overhang. the leather is much nicer then that of the charon. it's defintely a winner in my book so far. I listed it in my top mods of 2017. it's essentially a budget sx mini g class at this point
Can’t wait for the review. I’ve always wanted the sx mini g but just couldn’t justify the price. Now I got the next best thing. Well I will when it gets here. Left China on the 11th so I’ll have it soon enough.
At least the Cylon doesn't have a joystick, would have been a no go for me if it did.
So, centered 510, accepts 30mm tanks, good TC with TCR?
If that is true, I’ll have to get one.
Been kinda disappointed in many of these mid-tier mods for one reason or another.
Perhaps this will join the Revenger X in my rotation. Except for a bit of play in its battery door, the X is an excellent mod.
