Tesla Two Box Mod - yay or nay?

[smokin909]

Looking for a small, inexpensive, unregulated box and this one has caught my eye.

I guess it's not technically 100% 'mechanical' as it has short circuit protection and under power battery cutoff - but this could be a great little unregulated stealth box that does away with having to worry too much about usual mech mod safety issues when I'm out of the house/driving - sort of a 'set and forget' until the light flashes red.

The cheap price and super small size and large battery capacity is a big plus for me with the bonus of the spring loaded 510.

Not sure about the built in batteries - I assume I'll have to throw it out after a year or so which isn't a huge problem at this price range - or else I'll get an electrician friend of mine rewire new fresh batteries to revive it - if I can find them - two 19500's which don't seem to be something I can find having done a quick google search.

Had a look at the usual YouTube reviews and nothing jumps out as a real con for me - apart from the built in batteries.

Has anyone had any experiences they wish to share or something that says I shouldn't buy one? Specifically: Does it hit nicely? Are those internal batteries are safe?

It looks like it could be an interesting little addition to those who like a stealthy box mod.

Well, for anyone who might be thinking of buying this - I went back and bought it - I couldn't wait until I got any replies here

Impressions: It's a cracker of a mod. Very small and super stealthy with the power of a dual 18650 setup at 4000mah and on the pamphlet claims 40A max current output.

It has a sleek aluminium finish, no button rattle (nice and clicky) and my attys sit nice and flush on the 510. It looks and feels very nice - basically a very small black box.

We'll see how it stands up over time but so far it's does exactly what it says on the tin (or should I say the very small box it came in). Build your coil, fire the button and off you go. It vapes and hits very nicely. I'm usually using hybrid mechs so it's nice to be able to throw any atty on there and not have to think twice about shorting out the mod.

I'm surprised that I can't find much info on it here and I can sort of understand why, there's not much too it on the surface, so most people would pass it by. The built-in batteries won't appeal to hardcore mech users. No bells and whistles for the VW crowd - but I really like it. It's like the best of both worlds: a super small lipo VW form factor with a huge battery life and safety features that won't impede your builds (unless you like to go below .1ohms) - plus the benefits of an unregulated vape - all in one teeny package. It's very nice in the hand - I've been using it non stop. I can't get over how small it is and how nicely it vapes. It hits very nicely, better than my stainless steel 2SIX and delivers a nice solid vape. I'll come back in a few days and go into some more detail and post some pics. For the price, build quality, size and performance it's one I would recommend for sure.

I'd love to know if anyone else has one and what they think.

I was going to say that I want one also. I love the button! Nice and clicky and I think it looks slick. But I just spent the money I was going to buy it with on a LE80, couldn't pass it up for $30. Then I also bought a smpl clone, it looked too perfect with my mutation x v4.

 

[smokin909]

I did the opposite! I had a brass SMPL clone in my cart and I saw the Tesla Two and ended up getting that instead. The button on this is stellar - really impressed. I've used mods that were three times the price with crappier buttons. That LE80 looks interesting I'll have to look into that. Just to digress a little - what are your impressions of the Mutation x 4 flavour and airflow options wise? In the meantime here's what you're missing

Ha-ha the other thread I posted on today was about the tesla two, I like that a lot I want one. I was actually going to buy one but spent the money on the le80 and smpl clone. I love the button on the tesla also.

The mutation x v4 has great flavor and love the airflow options. Currently running a single coil, a parallel 24g kanthal 8-wrap with a 3mm ID, vapes amazing

I only bought the le80 because of the price BTW, but actually overall very satisfied with it. Probably the best deal I've gotten to date.

Thanks for that dDubs - I've been eyeing one for a while.

Np, I like it so much I almost want to buy another one. But there are so many great drippers out there I kinda feel like it would be stupid to not to get something different.

I broke down and ordered a Tesla Two Hydrographics edition in green today for just under $35 shipped. For that price, I couldn't resist any longer. I'll post some impressions once it arrives.

I've been using my new Tesla Two for a few days now, and have paired it with a new Uwell Crown tank. After a few tank fulls of juice, this setup is starting to shine. The battery life and consistency of hits is very impressive. The only downside I've seen is how long it takes to recharge the unit, but that is to be expected with something at 4500 mah. That was one of the hidden benefits tot he Hydrographics version - the bump up from 4000 mah to 4500 mah. I also like the glossy, green marble look of my unit. I feel like I got a solid deal for the price I paid.

Sounds sweet, got a pic? I would think a dripper would be the best setup for a device like that, so you can build low and get some good power out of it. Works well with the tank? I'm just curious cuz I run my herakles tank with .6 ohm coils at 5.2v, 4.2v wouldn't be high enough to get a decent vape out of it for me.

After more use, you are correct that the Tesla isn't able to quite get the full potential out of the Crown tank. In fact, none of my current devices can. My Tesla is much better when paired with an Ego One tank or Subtank. Sadly,I am not a builder, so for now I will be sticking to subohm tanks with the Tesla, as the other tanks I have perform well with it. If I remember to snap a photo when I get home tonight, I'll put up a picture like you requested.
