Seems there are a few genuine ones making an appearance globally I had a message from a battery specialist I know so grabbed some too. But for max vape time at low to medium amp pull on a regulated mod they may well of been superseded now.

Seeing 33000Js with HG4s and 30Qs a VTC5 is a good deal behind. Obviously if you max your M class at 50J or 60W then a VTC is good but I like others don't vape above 25J or 30W so even the 25Rs have proven themselves.

I just bought ten (10) VTC 5's. I compared them, "joules-wise", to the 25R's in a recent post (above). VERY SUBJECTIVELY at this point: the VTC 5's give a stronger more consistent vape with 4-6K more joules with the SX.

Seeing the reported joules output, here, I ordered four (4) Samsung (3000) today. I will certainly report the differences in both output/throughput and vape quality...again, very subjective, but REAL for me.

I own a sx mini now, and I'm getting rid of my vw/vv devices for another temp control mod. I'm having a hard time deciding/justifying another sx. What's anyone's opinion on another sx mini, ipv4, evic vt, or wait to see what sigelei has in store for the 75watt? I love this thing but is it worth having 400 dollars of the same mod?

Another thing that keeps bringing me back is the user upgradable chip, which I don't believe anyone else has.

Allot of things are happening now with TC so unless you have some extra cash, I would wait. But I am tempted to get my hands on one of those new shiny black units to have for a second TC mod. From this point forward I will not be interested in anything that isn't TC.

Are you talking about the all black from vapinart? That's what I would get if I go that direction. I find myself taking regular vw mods to work and coming in the door diving for the sx. Plus switching coils back and forth is a pita.

Yes, that black one is nice and the one I want. But if you really want to have saliva running down your lips, check out what this guy did to his SXM...

I had picked up a few pairs of the LG Hg2's and Sony VTC5's from Ginger Vaper. My thoughts on the two (and Samsung's new 30Q)

1st.... I am not a fan of the INR technology. While I change out my batteries every 6-months it is not really an issue for me, but the chemistry of such is that it will lose 40% of its ratings after 250-cycles (20A becomes 12A). So anyone planing on using them for longer, just a suggestion, but think twice. Although at like $7 or so a battery don't get why some like to milk them to the last drop.

I havent tested the Samsung 30Q, but it is only claimed to be 15A continuos. Was a deal breaker for me and why I chose the LG HG2 @ 20A.

I've now run a fun cycle with both the LG HG2 and Sony VTC5 in the sxmini. Vape was equivalent for me @ 30J/450F/Standard, but i achieved 33K Joules with the HG2 and 29K with the VTC5. Where the VTC5 shined, for me, was in my SMPL mech mod. Fully charged it hit like a have never seen before.

I'll be using the LG's in my sxmini and Boxer and Sony's for my mechs. Think the VTC5's are overkill for the mini and better off saving the money and getting the longer battery life.

I am so close to getting a J chip pipe mod made instead of getting another M class. Those pipes just look so cool.

Will let you all know if I do :p

PapaPro,

They do look cool and are pretty stealthy but I'll bet the battery life must really suck. IMHO I would give that idea a second thought. :2c:

PapaPro,

"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" When I think pipes I think those things that look like a metal thread spool with a stem sticking out and a watch battery inside.

I just looked at the link you posted and apologize for my comments. I had now idea you could get a Pipe Mod with a 26650 in one. And if you can get it with a J chip that would be one very hot looking/performing Pipe Mode.

No problem George. You were just looking out for me. Much appreciated!

Fingers crossed he will make me a J chip. I have two 5000ma batteries sitting on my desk right now. They look so lonely :(

PapaPro,

Thanks for letting me off the hook on that one.

Two 5000mah bats left unused... you don't want some one to turn you in for cruelty to batteries.

PS - I agree with you on the Lightning Bolt in 67tele's post that is the charging symbol.

Thanks guys but, the USB is not plugged in. I forgot to mention that.

ETA picture and This is the first time it's shown the charging. I have yet to charge with USB

Todd posted a video on one of the Freight Train pipes about a month ago. The one he shows has a DNA board in it.
