Snow Wolf 200W with TC
So it finally came!!!!! I am soooooo stoked!
I wanted to post another thread because when I was looking to buy this, threads and videos were few and far between. So for any prospective buyers... Here you go.
First.... Some photos of the unboxing and what not:
My first temperature control build...
9 wraps 28g Ni200 on a 3.5mm mandrel. I was going for 0.15Ω, but 0.18Ω will work.
Temperature Control
I know... We're all wondering... How does the temp control work? Well, assuming my first TC build with Ni200 looks good to TC pro's out there... It functions flawlessly!
I began by setting the TC to 400ºF and 49W and did a dry cotton test... Not even toasted! Turned it up to 410ºF... Same, no toasting. Turned it up to 420ºF and 70W... Finally a bit of burning but very minimal. Continuing to press the fire button resulted in no further burning.
I've had it set at 210ºC (410ºF) and 50W and it is the most delicious, cool vape I have ever experienced. Keep in mind, I have never experienced TC before... Only vicariously through others on this site.
I will do a video of the dry cotton test and post it to YouTube soon for your viewing pleasure.
ETA: I just vaped my Magma completely dry... No dry hit. Nothing really lol. This is so awesome! The vapor just stops and when you take the cap off, the cotton is white and dry. So cool!
It's amazing to feel how hot I was vaping at with my iStick at 50W... It had to be close to 600ºF. I can't even imagine what that was doing to my wick and juice. No wonder I had to rewick every day or so...
ETA2: Here's the dry cotton test video:
Variable Wattage Mode
I tried it with my Magma built to 0.52Ω at 50W and it seemed much more powerful than my iStick 50W at 50W lol. So I went up to 70W... What an intense vape!! This thing is a beast. I love it!
Just for fun, I built a 0.2Ω dual coil setup on my Derringer and cranked it up to 100W... I don't know how some people do it! That is way too much for me. It works though...
General Aesthetics
It is a litter bigger than I thought compared to my iStick, but still a very manageable size. Gorgeous though!
I wanted to open it up to see if I could catch a glimpse of the chip, however, the plastic protective plate screws are really torques down and I didn't want to push any harder. I'll work up the courage to open it soon.
Magnetic battery door... Awesome! Super powerful as well, but no so powerful that it's hard to get off.
The batteries fit very snug in the sled so I doubt something like a button-top Xtar VTC4 would fit. I have 2 of these batteries so maybe I'll try and get them in there... I bought 2 new pairs of Samsung 25R's flat top and they fit beautifully.
Spring loaded 510 connection... YES!
This is a solid heavy device. There's no button rattle at all. Without the battery, it weighs 230g, and with the batteries it weighs approximately 310g. That is about 0.68lb.
Pro's and Con's
Pro's: Super powerful. Sleek. Easy to use. Temperature control works perfectly (so far). Dual 18650, my battery gauge hasn't even gone down in the 3 hours I've been chain vaping on it. Spring-loaded 510.
Con's: It's been said before... Fingerprint magnet. No USB charging. That's it! I wouldn't even consider the second one a con because I don't trust that anyway. One more, the 510 is a little too close to the curved corner for me. This means that most 22mm atty's will hang over the edge the fillet a little. More of an aesthetics thing, but yeah.
Overall
I am ecstatic! This device is amazing! The total from a supplier on Amazon came out to $103.25 shipped and arrived to my door in 4 business days. I highly recommend it. Best device I have ever used. Sigelei, P4Y, Greenleaf, Asmodus, whoever... You knocked this thing out of the park!
