Sadly China going to totally ruin the image of the GI2 they going to clone the case of the GI2 v1 and not the GI2 v2 and then slap a crappy eVIC screen with a 100 watt / 120 watt pulse width modulation chip in it and call it a clone.
Pulse width ended a while ago... China's new wattage chips are as good as - if not better then an Evolv Chip.. The SX350 is epic..
50W is so First Half of 2014.
Actually the firmware has it at 80 watts now..
50W is soooo first half of 2014. The SuperMax can do 82W in VW mode and 94W if you leave it in VV mode.
I do feel for the GI guys, though - its taken them the better part of a year to develop their mod, its just got going, and the cloners are already ripping it off. Oi Vey.
The GI2 v1 is very pocket friendly in the front and back it's actually a lot smaller then the Duke.
In the morning I will post a picture of the size difference between my duke and the GI2 and then also the Chana clone.
It's about the same size as the Chana clone and everyone person who has used mine locally or at meets has been amazed how small it actually is. They all thought it was a huge device when it really isn't.
I haven't seen the gi2 in person. I'm under the impression that they won't fit in your pocket very easily. I don't think I'm too interested. I would love to see a duke or ranger clone for like $50
Whoa I didn't know that I thought the thing was huge, I would probably buy one if it's around $120 or so....
Actually here is a picture that has my Chana, Duke and one of my GI2's all in the same picture.[/QUOT
Issue is once you take the cost of the Duke parts and everything you are right about the cost of $50 especially if you aren't ordering the parts in $1,000+ orders.
Goss has put up how to make the Duke on his youtube long time ago for anyone who wanted to create their own as it was Open Source just like all of Mamu and everyone elses projects. He has since moved on from making the Dukes but there are a lot of OTR devices that have come up in the Dukes place.
Do you think china could come out with a cheaper okr t/10 chip or something comparable, like they've done with the dna30
I didn't know Yihi released the update. Time to update my Tatroe Atlas.Actually the firmware has it at 80 watts now..
60% of 50 is 30. Fifty watts plus thirty watts is 80 a 60% increase.I honestly don't understand how they can do a software update and claim a 60% increase in power.
Seems pretty fishy to me.
Alibaba already has it up on their site. I'm sure it not a pic of the clone.

Yep their clone is going to be a piece of pulse width modulation , raptor, SX piece of crap clone.
The real GI2 has
- 165 WATT Maximum Output
-Tested to fire down to .18 ohms and I have gone even lower.
- 18 amp limit
Not to quibble, but if the GI2 has a 165 W maximum output and 18 amp limit, then it would have to put out 18A at 9.2 volts to achieve that.
Kinda difficult with a buck regulator and a 7.4V battery.
