Having had a bit of trouble with the ss coils I thought I'd give me old trusty subtank mini ago. Got to say it detects kanthol/nickel 100% of the time, so far at least. Found a couple of the old horizontal coils and I'm blown away with how good they are. Way more flavour at 25w than either my triton or crown tank have at 40, 50, 60w. Bit embarrassing vaping at 25w on a 200w device tho lol

Why... I use 120, 150, and 200 Watt devices and run 25 to 40 watts all the time! It's rare when I put my RDAs on and crank them up.

that's ironic. I quote that dude on everything. people hate me for it. like I don't always drive a Ferrari but when I do I drive it 55. I do however drink, and enjoy the double x! should try it if you are drinking bud lol.

on topic: it would honestly be difficult to hit 200w on it anyways. at 7v you need a very low coil. I just like the way it looks. like a poor man's variant. who am I to speak though I have a real variant too. may the man with the most mods win!

So far so good. I'm more than happy with the Snow Wolf. So much in fact that I ordered the gun metal LE model. I'm glad my 1st Snow Wolf was the new 1.5. Otherwise I would have hated it. Solid mod all around.

I've got the LE model too it looks mega! I'm a big game of thrones fan so love anything wolf related :) since I've stopped using my crown tank (ss coils) on this device, it hasn't missed a beat, correctly detects kanthol/nickel every time :)

I have the 1.0 version. Yes, the "feature" of always locking after however many minutes of non-use is indeed both silly and frustrating. I'm glad Asmodus got rid of it for v1.5. That said, I've adapted to it pretty well. I've learned to automatically do a fast 5 clicks when picking up my SnowWolf up after not using it, so the frustration is reduced to easily acceptable limits. I like it even more with the black silicone sleeve I bought on eBay.

I own six TC boxes, and although the temp control works fairly well on all of them, the vape quality on a couple is slightly anemic. Not dreadful, just not as full and potent as I'd like. Not so the SnowWolf, which provides a very robust, satisfying vape, even at moderate settings (400° F, 40 watts). Some people feel that the temp control on the SnowWolf is subpar, but I like it a lot. It's not complicated and works well in TC mode, as far as I'm concerned. I use it with a nickel-coiled Cthulhu RTA rather than an RDA dripper, so I don't have to worry about dry hits. I guess I should try a dripper and vape it dry to see if the temp control does its job properly.

OK, I just took a Derringer RDA off my iPV D2, put it on the SnowWolf, and vaped it dry. TC worked perfectly, steadily reducing the wattage until the rayon wick was bone dry. No message appeared on-screen (unlike the iPV D2, which announces "Dry Coil" in that situation), but the wick was undamaged. As soon as I refilled the well of the Derringer, the vape immediately came right back to full strength. I don't expect any more than that from temp control, so my SnowWolf gets an enthusiastic thumbs-up from me.

Cool didn't know you could get wraps, I'll have a Google around. Don't want to cover up my lovely wolf's head engraving on side of mine tho lol

Adam - you can just put the wrap on the front and back like my first pic shows. I have both Vapor Skinz (on my two Vapor Sharks) and now the J-Wraps on my Snow Wolf. While they both use 3M materials, I think I like the end product from J-Wraps a bit better - seems to have a better fit and finish.

I prefer textured mods, which you can find all here:

Textured

I might try the Ostrich wrap on my Vapor Shark DNA 200 when it comes in.
