Well, I was a winner of the giveaway, and I hate to give it a bad review, but it's not my go to device. I just thought I'd tag along on this thread. :) AT first, it seemed nice, the TC works well, but the downsides to it is it's a very heavy mod, and it seems to run through batteries faster than the others. Running it at 20 watts seems to help a bit, but I get just as much life out of a single 18650 on my Vamo V7 than I do with two batteries on my Xcube II. The Sigeli 100 lasts the longest, and this is while reviewing all three at around 20 watts. The firing button restricts it to an at home device. The fact that the whole side of the mod can be pressed to fire it means it's not pocketable, and I'm afraid to just throw it in the car. The light, as interesting as it is, becomes a distraction, and is a bit too bright at night. Overall, it is a good mod, but it has it's shortcomings. Now that I've had it for a while, I find myself reaching for other mods first before heading for this one.

My button-sticking is from a tiny smidge of juice that got down into the sides of the button assembly. I feel like there isn't a way to get to it without either removing the trigger plate or breaking it. =\

I have read, but I haven't has a chance to check this out, that it is not a difficult process to pull the trigger assembly off. I'm at work at the moment, but I will see if I can track a "How to..." video and post it here.

Loving this box but had to get an older version of the BEC App from ApkPure site to finally get the TC working . Was really sort of a pain to do the TC Upgradation. Because the App would crash when trying to sign in on the newest version. But finally have all the Temp Control modes working at least so Im happy.

Question though Is this correct that I paid 2.99 to Activate Temp Control?

Then an additional 99 cents for Stainless Steel and another 49 Cents for Titanium?

I knew about the last two costs for the SS and TI but hadnt heard of the initital 2.99 just to Activate the Temp Control.

Worth every penny especially as the mod is so cheap

What is the coefficient for SS 316L 28 G wire? I can get it to fire in TC SS Mode but Not longer for a few seconds before it says temp protected. Either that or it will burn the coil clear off the deck of my tank it overheats so much so obviously need the proper coefficient value.
Don't fully understand the codes I'm using SS uwell coils and there awesome

Are you using wattage mode? Right now I can get the Temp Mode to fire but it is tasting burnt and the temp protected alert comes up on the screen after a few seconds.

Need to figure out a decent build for this 28 G SS 316 wire. It is good quality wire made by UD Builders Choice. I just dont know exactly what Im doing with Stainless Steel only thing I really know is it has half the resistance as kanthal. Surprised by how soft and flexible the wire is.
