You can on the original firmware as well.Can you change from Celsius to Fahrenheit with the new update? I haven't updated mine since I got it. I don't even know what firmware I'm operating under, lol! It times out too fast to study it.

That's the other color I was considering. Can't wait for the pics when you get it!I preordered the gold from them

I haven't been able to get it to switch! It times out as soon as I try to make an adjustment in the settings. I need to just take some time and figure out what I'm doing wrong, lol.
Simply increase or decrease the temp setting. It'll switch to farenheit when you go past the minimum or maximum Celsius settings.

When holding the plus until the max temp in celcius it'll stop then press up again and it'll roll over to Fahrenheit. It's wierd how it works

Woo hoo! I love VapeNW. They are located about 100 miles for me so most of the time I get my order the day after I place it! You will definitely get yours before I get mine, so I can't wait to see your hand check and hear your thoughts.
i have had an RX200 since they first came out, and the 510 is good. however, my vtc mini is garbage, very shallow 510! all the reviews so far say the predator 510 is greatly improved...
I got my Predator a couple of days ago. I haven't had a lot of time to really get to know it yet, but I will say that I love the hand feel of this mod. I LOVE the side fire bar mods, and the one on the Predator is great. It has about the same clickiness as the Alien, so I am not worried about it accidentally firing even when I don't have it locked. The menu seems pretty intuitive but, as I said, I haven't really had time to play with it. The Elabo tank came with the Ni triple .25 ohm coil installed and I can't say I'm in love with it. I really like the tank design and the fact that it holds almost 5 mls of juice, but I am not a nickle-coil kind of girl and the Predator doesn't want to read the coil in Ni mode. The flavor is REALLY muted in power mode, but I vape on ceramic so I'm used to big flavor. I put the tank on my Fuchai 213 and it read the coil just fine, so I'm not sure what's up with it and the Predator. I'm not too worried about that, though, and besides, it looks much better with the Vaporesso Veco tank on it anyway!

Looks really nice!
That coil it comes with, the NS, is not a Ni coil so it won't work in Ni TC mode. It's probably Kanthal. Here are the specs on it.
"Compatible With Two Coil Systems
- NS Triple 0.25 ohm Coil
- Vertical Orientation
- 40 to 120W
- Non Threaded Coil System
- Reux Mini Triple 0.2 ohm Coil
- Vertical Orientation
- 40 to 80W"
I got my Predator 2 days ago as well.
So far I really like it but I have been burning through batteries quick. I am running it hot though, about 95 watts with 105 watt preheat with a Melo 300. In 2 days I am on my 4th pair of batteries.
The fit and finish is killer, loving the fire bar with no play at all and the anodized look of the paint is dead sexy.
If they were aiming to kill the Alien they have done it with this mod. Much better fit and finish and a TC that works much better. The only thing I like better on the Alien is the hard setting which applies a preheat based on your current watts. With the Predator you have to adjust the preheat manually so when you change watts you also have to hold the down and power to enter into the sub menu to adjust preheat. I was thinking this might be trouble some if I decide to change to one of my single coil tanks I run in the 40 watt range. If I forget to change the preheat I am going to cough up a lung when it hits it at 105 watts for 1 second.
All in all though I hope this is the direction Wismec is going for all there future mods. A definite step up from there previous offerings.
Not bad overhang with a 30mm tank although the tank looks about as big as the mod...haha:

I forgot to post the size comparison pic for all the compact dual 18650 mods I have:
The most comfortable to hold is that Minikin V2, it is also the shortest of all of the mods. The TC on the Minikin is below average though, strictly a power mod for me. The TC on the Predator is much better IMO.

Mine just came in today. I got the stainless and black one and noticed that the stainless is already getting a bit marked up from just taking my tank on and off a few times but not enough to complain about.
The thing I'm curious about though, is temp control. My normal go to build is a dual coil stainless steel clapton. I average around 0.25 and vape it around 450 degrees and 85 watts. On the Predator, I had to turn it down to 300 degrees to get the same vape and this is just with the default TCR setting of 120. Normally I've been adjusting it to 125 but if anything, I'd need to lower it here.
Do you guys think that this is normal or do you guy think it's reading on the hotter side of tc?
