You have a narcoleptic mod?I find it works well. I use mine daily at work with no issues. Sometimes it goes into deep sleep and has to be woken up and loses my settings but over all a minor complaint.
lmao I suppose I do. I hear it is a early model issue.You have a narcoleptic mod?
I have one and I have to tell you I really like it.
Actually it is in my grubby hands right now with a Lemo II on top as I write this.
One thing that is going to surprise you is how heavy the thing is. But in a day or so of constant use, you don't really notice it much.
It has all the bells and whistles and like Bill just said, easy to clean.
This morning before my eyes weren't fully open, I was filling my Lemo and spilled some liquid.
No problem. I just closed the air slot at the bottom and put the whole rig under the faucet and dried with a paper towel.
Have charged batteries and a full topper waiting for it to arrive.
You are really going to dig it!
Yep. I thought of it for one of my jobs too. I think I'll grab it after reading some positive experiences since my local shop has them for a decent price. I held one and liked how it's small yet has some heft to balance out the weight of a tank. Perfect to pocket.
Put it in a sock and it becomes a weapon as well
I will let others address most of your questions as I only used mine for a few days before giving it to my son in law. If you don't want tc and don't need as high of wattage you can buy almost the same thing as the Dovpo e-lvt mini for less. I used mine with a subtank mini with factory ni200 coils and it worked pretty well but I bought a joyetech evic vt a couple of weeks later and it gave a performance more similar to my Yihi tc devices. The battery cap on mine sucked too, but all in all it wasn't that bad and needs to be tight to be water resistant.
35W...Yeah...maybe I'll give that Dovpo another look as well.
I can't quite remember the wattage of that one but I think it was around 30w or so. With the improvement on these new Kanger Vertical Coils I'm liking to keep it around 35w-40w depending on the juice I'm using.
Plus the Dovpo one does not have as good water resistant capabilities. If that does not interest some I understand but for work being able to resist water and dust is a plus for me.50 watts still beats 35 watts last I checked
Just don't do the "Joe QA Test" and run it through the clothes washer, but I think this mod would still work without issues, and smell like Tide afterwards.There have been a couple of times that I got E-Liquid on the Invader.
I just rinse it and dry it off with a paper towel. No problem!
It might take it but then again it might not.Just don't do the "Joe QA Test" and run it through the clothes washer, but I think this mod would still work without issues, and smell like Tide afterwards.

Now if someone could just make a good MIL-SPEC Subtank to match with this thing.....
Thanks for the helpful info.I bought 2 invader minis from my local Vape shop,one for me and one for my wife.Hers got a dotted screen all over like the DNA 40 does.They traded it and no issues with her second one yet. My original one died yesterday after 5 weeks. It just turned off and that was it no burned electronic smell or any thing.The also traded it and gave me another new one.We both really like the devices but I sure hope they last this time.Both that failed were the packs with the white sleeve and so is her replacement. Mine had a black sleeve and is newer I hear.
Hey...thanks for all that info Bill!Wow that is too bad jkoppk. This is the second report I have heard of dots on the screen. The other one, the guy removed the battery and dropped it back in and it has been fine since then. The only thing that I could think of about not turning back on, is the fire button has a sweet spot. Near the top of the button seems to be it. My black one (v2), if you don't click it there five times, it won't turn on. Another thing is sometimes the battery doesn't make a connection. I removed the battery cap, placed a dime facing the negative side of the battery and replaced the cap. And I don't know what happened, but after a couple of weeks it worked fine without the dime. Maybe the dime cleaned the contacts or something, I don't know? That was my first one gray (v1). The blue and black are v2. All three are doing very well today and they have become my favorite mods.
@BLACKTOOTHGRIN: I had no trouble standing them up on a flat surface. My Vamo mods are very tippy. My Pioneer4You Seven 22 balances far better. And my Invader Mini are better yet. My desk can be bumped pretty easy even pulling out the keyboard tray. And the Invaders might wobble a bit, but hasn't ever tipped over or anything. My Seven 22 hasn't either, but that would tip over first before the Invaders.
Yes I saw the video of Phil Busardo fumble over the battery cap. Well I love Phil and all, but he can be a little clumsy at times. When new, it works best with three fingers. Two to turn the cap and one to put pressure on the center of the cap. After they get used for awhile, just two fingers does just fine.
You also asked about TC. First I love it. Ideally they say to fire the mod and the coil(s) up at room temperature. Because the mod needs to calibrate the resistance at room temperature. I so far never found any good reason why the mod has to be cool too, as that hasn't made any difference here yet. Maybe some mods are more sensitive towards this than others. But the coil(s) yes. Calibrate it while they are hot results in higher temperature than your setting. About 30ÂşF hotter in my modest testing. But I am sure it could be two or three times more off as well.
Using temperature control is very easy. The most important setting is the temperature. Between 400 to 420ÂşF to me is right between a hot and a cold vape. That is probably the best setting for someone to try at first. Watts work just like wattage mode on any mod. If you set this where you normally would vape at, that is probably a good start. Now how TC control works is that it will use wattage setting until the temp is reached and then TC automatically dials down the wattage to hold it at that temperature. If the wattage is too low, then the temperature will never be reached and it will run at whatever the wattage is set at.
You might wonder, well why not just skip TC and just run slightly lower in wattage? Ah... but besides dry hit protection, air flow also changes temperature drastically. Myself I vape both lung and mouth to lung hits. Using just wattage mode, when I vape mouth to lung... I need to lower the wattage. When I vape lung hits, I need to double or triple the wattage, due to increased airflow cooling down the coils. Thus I keep roughly the same temperature depending on how I vape.
With TC, vape anyway you like and just skip changing the wattage setting all of the time. As TC does the changing of wattage for you automatically. And what you get is a perfect vape every time. Kind of like the perfect cup of coffee every time.
I got the Black One of course.That is great! What color did you get? Yeah I too have been checking for lower prices too and I haven't found any. And there is a vaping search engine found here:

I also know the wholesale cost is 43 bucks each. So I don't think the price will be much less than what you got it for awhile. I paid 60 for my first one and 55 each for the other two. There was two weeks before we stated talking about them that nobody was selling them for under 64 bucks.
The only batteries I have right now are the blue Samsung 25R's.Have a freshly charged battery and a filled topper ready for it's arrival.
Using mine right now and still digging it!

Those will be sufficient for this box right?
Shit...tell me about it.Yep, they will do you proud Mr. Grin!
Those are what I use. But if you are vaping a good deal (like me) with a 0.53 ohm coil and running between 32 and 35 watts, and you are out and about for a full day, you may wish to carry an extra 25R in an insulated holder in your pocket.
Which one stopped working this time?I ended up taking both my wife's and mine back to the local Vape shop.I got 80 credit for each and picked up a vaporshark rDNA 40 for each of us.Another one stopped working and that was it.
