Hi,
I tried to search for the Finder 133 but nothing came back, not even on utube, etc... I was wondering, is this a new mod by Vapethink?
weird thing its not even on their website,, but I found it here Think Vape FINDER 133 Vape Box Mod For Sale

can anyone share any reviews on this mod? I found a place near me that has it in stock and thinking of buying one.

Thanks.

I recently purchased it and I am loving it. I wanted the Therion but it's not widely available locally and I was in a bit of a hurry. Is it safe to charge it using USB, though? I already have a Nitecore i2 charger but I am talking charging it on-the-go using a 1A/2A power bank, and I am guessing 1A would be the safest option?

First off I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the mod.

Secondly, it's perfectly safe to charge in the mod. That particular model uses a DNA200 board (it's 133 watts because it uses two instead of three cells in series). It has a very good balanced charging board. Most DNA200 mods use 3s Lipos which are charged in the mod. I'm just mentioning this because the board was designed knowing that most people would charge on board.

Thirdly, the DNA200 has a max input charging rate of 1 amp. Whether you use a 1 or 2 amp supply, the board will only draw 1 amp.

Cheers,
Steve

That's great to know, thank you so much for the info. Yeah, I'm expecting to receive a Xiaomi Power bank today (one of the few relatively known brands available here) which has a max output of 2A. Hopefully things go well.
I use an Anker portable power supply and an Anker 10 outlet USB charger in my home. Both have a maximum output of 2.4 amps. They both work great.

In Escribe you can set up one of the three small displays of the mod to display the charging current, if you are interested.

Cheers,
Steve

I wish the screen had more room to display more values, that would be awesome. Would you happen to know if the DNA250 chip has that?
The DNA250 has the same screen. It shows the battery bar, 3 small displays, and one big one.

Here's a shot of one of my Triade DNA250's charging screen (note : the DNA250 charges at 2 amps).
