Not sure if anyone uses a squonker in here, but I am loving this atty. To me the flavor is awesome, and the price is even better, YMMV :D
Origen Little 16mm Clone
It's on my next list from FT, never in stock for me when I have an order ready... :(

Thanks @Burnie

Looks like a nice flavor atty. My squonker is on the DL till I get my hands on a DNA60 board so I can replace the DNA30 that's in it now. I'm also waiting for the hcigar VTInbox DNA75 to make it's way out. I know that ecig-city has them but for $99 bucks but I want to wait for the Holiday Sales.

:lol: Yea not a beauty contest winner but the chip is supposed to be really good. Kanthal TC and all. I really can't comment on the chip as I haven't used one yet.

Maybe @TrollDragon can enlighten us since he has one already. :D
All CNC machined aluminum case, battery sled and buttons, no plastic here.
The G2 with the latest firmware (2.5.7) has preset settings for KA1, NiCr, Ti, Ni200, SS304, SS316, SS317 and SS340 as well as W (Tungsten). It can also TC any wire type through the advanced xXx mode. That mode allows you to dial in the FSK chip to suit your vaping style.

The automatic modes work very well and most people don't need to venture past those, but with all the variation in wire manufacturing, you might need to set the FSK percentage.

This is not a DNA type of mod. In my opinion it's better, I can TC a pair of fused KA1 Claptons and not worry about if I dripped or not, I'm a lazy dripper... :D

It takes a little time to learn, and the people who don't like them (ignoring the aesthetics) usually didn't spend the effort.

It's a daily driver for me along with the VT133.

HOhm Tech put out a few good videos on You Tube, they are a little dated (Old Firmware) and should be updated, but the concept is still the same.

Make sure to get the "ShenRay" clone like Focalecig has, there is a difference in the clones, from what I have read. JMHO
Thanks for the advice. :thumbs:
I might just get the ShenRay it from FC then, they take longer to ship, but a quality clone I can wait for.

I know what you mean on the quality thing. I have gotten some from both FT & FC that were really crap, which sucks after waiting 2 to 3 weeks to get it. I am really happy with this ShenRay clone. The only problem I had was the machine oil taste, I really should have washed it first, I know better. :facepalm:

I've ordered from, and will continue to order from FT. I will say that I've had bad luck with non name clones from them. First a KF5 that would not stop leaking no matter how many times I tore it down and replaced every single o ring (and there were lots of those on the 5), then a KF3 variant (forgot which one) that arrived with the top of the glass cut on a bias. Really hard to getting a seal when the glass is cut at an angle.:-x

That was pretty much the end of the no name clone business for me. I will look at a "name" clone, but my days of no name, what's the cheapest, are long over. I'd rather pay for the quality and not deal with the grief. Besides, the price difference never seems to be all that bad anyway. YMMV.

Too Fine!!! :thumbs:

It came today but I was out on my boat all day. It looks really nice. The Dodger Blue color is great looking IMHO. I was concerned about all the designs on it but it's much nicer than the pics.
Give me a day or two and I'll post some pics and opinions.
I'm completely shot right now!

TD do you have any advice or hints for me before I fire this thing up?
Any info would be appreciated!
There are multiple menus, each accessed with a triple click of the mode button.
Hold the mode button for 4 seconds to turn it on, and hold it again to turn it off.

When changing RTAs you need to reset the resistance. You remove the old atty, press the fire button and the screen will read Atomizer Connect then screw on your new atty.

My G2 and others were keeping the old atty resistance setting and you had to do this reset quite a few times to get the new readings. I contacted Hohm Tech about it and was told that you need to screw the new atty down within 10 seconds of the connect message. This has worked perfectly ever since doing it this way. Remove old atty, partially screw on the new one, hit fire and screw down the new atty. Hit fire again for the updated reading.

If it gives you a Damaged Atomizer message on fire, then you might have had the new atty screwed on too far when you hit fire to clear it.

If you are going to do a SS build on it first, just hit the mode button 3 times till you get to the screen with SS, select SS and the type on the next screen. Three quick clicks of the Fire button will flip the power and temp settings so you can adjust them.

I start with 460F and 65W for a regular 26g or 24g build in SS316L. If you hit the Fire button and the power drops right off to zero then you need to up the temp 10 degrees and try again.

Remember that it is not a DNA and does require some fine tuning, especially in Kanthal builds.
Don't get discouraged, watch some of the HOhm Tech videos, they have one for new owners or ask away. Over at the other place there is a big Wrecker G2 thread, chock full of information.

Thanks TD I do appreciate it. :thumbs:
That's exactly what I've been doing. Watching Hohmtech's you tube channel and reading the on-line manual.
I look forward to using it and I'll post some pics later.

OK so here are a couple of quick pics. I have to say I can't believe the way this thing is using the batteries. Efficient is an understatement. I put my Boreas on it with a dual SS316L Clapton build reading at .23 ohms. I'm pretty much a chain vaper and have been hitting this thing at 65 watts 420 degrees for the last 2 hours and it still reads 100% battery life!! o_O I upped it to 75 watts 470 degrees for the last half hour and it still hasn't changed. I'm impressed!!

I downloaded the updater software and it works. For some reason I can't download the new software. It just comes up as a scrambled mess. I'm using windows 10 but I don't know what's up with this. It does have the software just below the newest one so I'm happy with that for now. I'll have to check for the reason it won't download. I don't have any Kanthal builds so I haven't checked it out in TC mode. I'll have to build something.

Absolutely Gorgeous! :thumbs:

You really should put the new firmware on as it adds all the SS wire settings. Just right click the little box and use "Save Link As" or "Save Target As" depending on your browser. This will present you with a save dialog to chose where you want to save the .DFU file.

They have a great video on the download page about updating the firmware too.
