Did we watch the same bout?
And im not making 180m or 120m for my entertainment.
But do you have v1.5 of the firmware making the device 75W/150W?
Spot on! And they are trying to make up for it now.
I wasn't mentioning you. You actually did the smart and educated thing. Wanted an answer to conflicting statements and inquired. However, he only does HIS warranty work for the units he sells. Vapro does the warranty work for "unauthorized" dealers and each authorized dealer does/handles the warranty work for the units they sell.
regarding his reply.... no, the USB does NOT power the OUT to the atty...the battery does. But the USB is powering the battery while the battery is powering the atty. and that is what makes in dangerous. Think of pulling your car into the gas station. Do you leave your engine on while you fill up with gas or do you shut if off? You could be asking the battery to supply you with up to 20+ or 30+ A while there is power going into it.
Many of the batteries being sold today are just rewraps (efest) or fakes (most sonys) and you are essentially putting you own safety in them as you hit that fire button up to your face. So....dont take me advice if you do not want to and if you prefer to not listen to the manufacturer, i hope you are listening to someone with a very good insurance policy and umbrella.
Gotcha. Actually i never intended to vape and chargex just was curious.
Ya I only use authentic vtc5 batteries in all my devices. I know they are authentic because I am friends with a local vape shop owner and he showed me the receipt of them directly from Sony, a while back before you couldn't get them anymore. He bought a huge stash before the event happened.
Just a bit of non-controversial, OT, good news:
Been enjoying the SX Mini so much that I haven't had time to experiment with my Drippers. (Was actually considering buying an SOV 5K but asked myself, "Why are you not using what you already have?")
So, I built my Marquis: 8 wraps on each the included 4 mm rod, KGD, with the shortest legs possible. Steam-engine shows 0.09. The SX read 0.081, or thereabouts. Set to 410, then 400, and, last 370F at 50, then 45J.
WONDERFUL VAPE!

He'll ya. I have had my mini for 2 days now and I'm using it more than my ipv4, lol. Amazing portability and good battery life. I have used it for 2 days and I'm at about 50-60% life left.
He doesn't have an online store does he? I'd love to get hold of some of those VTC5s.
He does not, lolHe doesn't have an online store does he? I'd love to get hold of some of those VTC5s.

The problem is that you appear to be asserting your personal opinions as if it is coming from the manufacturer. When simply asked to support such claims (e.g., "No and especially at high wattage. Yihi strongly recommends that you do not.") by providing a reference, you fail to answer the question and attack the person for asking it.
Thanks for posting that. I have a Marquis coming from a friend and may try nickel in it.
That's an apple to cucumbers analogy. If you want to use automobiles, then consider that your car battery is indeed pulling double duty while the car is running. btw, I do talk on my phone while it's charging, too. If the device wasn't designed to do this, then it simply shouldn't.
Does he give a Veteran's discount?.......
Just kiddin but stores here do. How many joules are you getting from a charge?Idk and prob couldn't get one since I'm not one, but thank you for your service. I was between 50-60% left on my first battery ever and the bottom left is reading 15,128.3JDoes he give a Veteran's discount?.......
I did use wattage mode a couple times at 60 watts, for about 30 min.
Lovelovelove my Marquis with ni200. Only issue is that between the way the airflow is setup and vertical coils the top rear of my coils gunk up FAST. I am partially to overly sweet juices, so all my coils gunk up faster than many peoples. Either way, it's not a huge deal because rebuilding the Marquis is so dang simple.
That's an excellent idea. I was wondering yesterday if Yihi had a change log for bug fixes etc.. that could be made public. Maybe add to papapro's list of questions for them. I did post a list of my cons several pages back that could be added to the list
Well, so far I'd list the following as bugs or features that should be addressed in the next firmware update:
(1) Correction of the Soft/Powerful/Powerful+ settings in Joules mode (or an explanation of why it differs from Power mode).
(2) The inadvertent triggering of "Set Resistance", which is rare, but happens.
(3) Ability to adjust the display timer, such that it turns off according to a user setting (e.g., 15s, 30s, 45s, 60s)
(4) A prompt by the device, when in Joules mode and it detects an atomizer disconnect, asking you if you'd like to set resistance (e.g., "Disconnect Detected. Set Resistance (Y/N)?")
Anything else you folks would add?
Oh no, please not THAT!
That is for me a feature. I can remove the atty, adjust or quickly fill, put back, and, I'm still in business. Can't begin to say how annoying that is on my other TC/TL/TP devices.

I will let you on to another secret…. and to demonstrate how this wonderful internet works and certain “rumors” can spread like wildfire making almost anyone believe they are true.
Sony never sold/marketed the VTC5 for individual or public sale. It was strictly for OEM makers. They have NOT discontinued the manufacturing of this battery at all!!! One of their main production facilities needed to shutdown due to Fukushima, but they have replaced that factory with one in the Philippines. They are today manufacturing MORE VTC5’s then they ever have.
What we saw as consumers was the slow trickle down of the supply due to this close down that fed into the rumors — most likely started by a competitor. Vendors have replenished their inventory and they are widely available. It is though, as one of the best batteries on the market, and the period of short supply, the most counterfeited battery. So… just be careful from whom you purchase one from.
As my understanding, if you ordered enough in bulk they sold to vapor stores/websites, but not individuals like you said.. If you're correct then explain the hard copy of the receipt I saw for the batteries, directly from Sony. IDK, just saying what I have actually seen with my own eyes. I trust this guy because he does not sell 1 thing thats not authentic, and he has the paperwork to prove so. They don't sell clones or any other thing like that. I never said they discontinued them, I just meant when they were hard to find.
I am still on the fence about the whole .5 or 1amp charge rate thing.
Ok, revised to make it a user preference. That should work I hope:
(1) Correction of the Soft/Powerful/Powerful+ settings in Joules mode (or an explanation of why it differs from Power mode).
(2) The inadvertent triggering of "Set Resistance", which is rare, but happens.
(3) Ability to adjust the display timer, such that it turns off according to a user setting (e.g., 15s, 30s, 45s, 60s)
(4) Ability to enable/disable prompt by the device, when in Joules mode and it detects an atomizer disconnect, asking you if you'd like to set resistance (e.g., "Disconnect Detected. Set Resistance (Y/N)?")
Okay just to make sure I understand, from the whole "bypass" debate.
1 - It is absolutely FINE to charge a battery with the device (one you are careful plugging in the USB)
2- It is not the best idea (or should not do it at all) to vape while it is being charged
Please confirm, as I plan to use this as my sole device for the next year

I've had my M class for a couple of weeks now and absolutely love it! Can someone explain exactly what the bypass mode is & how it's used?
aaaaa
They want you to be aware the USB is the only way for you to do upgrades and is its primary purpose. Should you wear out or break the USB once out of warranty it will be your responsibility. The recommendation is to swap batteries so your not at risk of damaging the USB. But yes you can charge with it if needed.
There has only been one source that indicates there is any type of problem while charging & vaping simultaneously. But there has been no information provided to back that claim after numerous requests. Varitube stated the post below as well as Wetvapes.com and Vapordna.com on their websites. I'm unaware of any site or document that states any differently.
