At 1.5 x 1.63 it's literally larger than having 4 18650s in a cubed arrangement. So yeah, I'd call that fat.

More like 3 in a triangle (the front narrows in), but yes.... 1/2" fatter then the M.
Thats ok though... Nothing wrong with having a bulge in my pocket. ;)

Right behind you...
Yup that's him. I just cant seem to find where I could order some of his SX350j designs from. :(

Like I said, Facebook only, private group (Vapedroid), he runs lists every couple of months (25 or 50 per list), pre-payment weeks before devices are assembled, price is north of $300 for a completed single 26650 mod, more for the dual. He doesn't sell the enclosures alone, nor does he sell the plans to 3D printers now like he used to, even for his older stuff.

Agreed....and the new software seem to like to make double reply posts a LOT. Probably I haven't a clue how to use the software and the software is fine (translation....I'm too dumb to know how to use it). In any case it's irritating the he!! out of me.

Druckle,

I know exactly what you mean. I have played with the "Alert" settings and a couple that I thought were mail alerts. I don't know if I made it better or worse.

I don't know maybe if I read some more of the help files I would be able to figure it out... but you talk about dry reading I now know where that phrase came from "ECF Help File". :-x

Well I figured something out about the Joules. If you look at your total Joules and you have your mod set for say 14J take a 5sec puff and your Joules will increase by 70. I don't know if that means anything to anyone that is in eco mode. So if you get 22000J at 16J it is about 23min of actual vaping. And you take 5 sec puffs you get 276 puffs per battery. I think.

Yea I've been in his FB group for about a year now just don't use it much. I was talking about just the enclosures like he used to sell on Shapeways.

I could be all wrong I just took a 5 sec puff at 14 J in eco and it only increased by 59J. It's a slow morning here as you can tell.

Unless you have a mechanism that activates the power switch and timer simultaneously your not going to get accurate results each time.

Edit: It would also vary depending on how hot the coil is initially. For instance if your test are back to back the coil will be hot the second time which will cause TL to engage faster than the first time that the coil was cold.

Gee - Legs, did you just have a flashback to your college days or are you just trying to show off. :lol:

For the math genius out there, does this make sense?

I am vaping at 30J and my battery lasts for a total of approximately 22,000.0J.

My, amateur findings......

22,000 / 30 (Joules setting) = 733.33 (which represents total seconds of run time).
I take an average of a 3-second vape..... 733.33 / 3 = 244.44 (represents total amount of "hits")
I take a hit every 2 minutes (average) = 30 hits per hour..... 244.44 / 30 = 8 hours and 10 minutes per battery change.

If i lowered to 25J.... 22000/25/3/30 = 9 hours and 45 minutes, and
If i lowered to 20J.... 22000/20/3/30 = 12 hours and 15 minutes

Well I figured something out about the Joules. If you look at your total Joules and you have your mod set for say 14J take a 5sec puff and your Joules will increase by 70.

Thats is correct.... I posted something to this extend (re: battery life) a few weeks ago.
1 joule = 1 watt for 1 second....14J for 5 seconds will be a total of 70 watts delivered.

Your 5 sec puff at 14J does not factor in your temp setting and achieving it. Remember, the joules/watts will cut (rattlesnake/heartbeat) when you achieve your temp.

One thing you could try is a new battery and a full tank of juice. Run the tank dry and see how many joules you have used. Repeat and see if a pattern emerges.

In theory, if YIHI are correct. We could indeed see if Joules works as a battery tester and a rough guide to how much juice per Joule you are using.

Interesting stuff, I will try this ofter the next software patch. I also hope YIHI simplifies the update process with a simple "Update button" in the SXI software. Keep it simple and we will love our devices even more :)

Vlad,

Don't steel "Legs" moment in the sun. That had to be one of the more pertinent and lucid facts I have seen "Legs" post. (Just kidding "Legs") Albeit I was very impressed. ;)

Are yall seeing better battery life in TC vs. power mode? I consistently get 25kJ on my STM with .5 ohm build in the rda running 25 watts in power mode and 30kJ with .09 ohm build running 500 degrees at 40J.

Pbusrdo should be telling everybody about the flawed update and not to upgrade till it is corrected....but then he is only a reviewer and is not up to date on the problems...and if he is up to date on the problem then he should have told everybody this is how to update but don't do the first update as it is flawed...... his video will be a benefit to those wanting info on how to update.

Good that Vlad1 sent Pbusardo the info on the flawed update...
I also posted in his YouTube comments section about the Eco/Battery bug explaining the issue and giving him a warning. But you are correct, he is not as involved in such detailed bugs and other idiosyncrasies such as we deal with here in this topic. He is a busy man being involved in many vaping products, reviews, advocacy, trade shows, etc., and he has a family and job too to deal with just like the rest of us.

Yihi has sent, as you know, a beta update for the customers to try....folks are telling Pbusardo in the comments of his video about the buggy update....maybe he will edit his video???
Yes, I was the first to comment about it but I doubt he will edit this video but he will certainly mention something in his next video.

All I know for sure is I love the adjustability of these thing. I start out in the AM at 385 12J and by noon I am at 400 and 16J then after about 6or 7 I work my way down again. I love it some of the guys on the other threads I go to think I'm crazy for all I have been through trying to get nickel to work and can't believe I can upgrade my mod through my computer but I think it is fantastic.
