No strong opinions don't bother me. Let's see if I can clarify it for you. What would you think of a movie reviewer that gave a complete thumbs down review to a movie based on a 3 to 5 minute trailer instead of actually watching the movie? That's what's putting me off what you say concerning the mod. Does that make sense?
The majority of my criticism was directed toward the attitude, disposition, and practices of this manufacturer, and the manner in which they presented this device to the market, way more so than the device itself. My "criticisms" of the device were the fact that is doesn't look nearly as "polished and refined" as it appeared in early promotional photos, and the "mystery metal" of the 510 connection ring ... which looks plastic in photos, and was described as "metal" by origin vapes in their review video. Not stainless, aluminum, or silver plated brass, but "metal" ... Err, what kind of metal?
My legitimate concerns regarding the functionality of the device are specifically the apparent lack of ventilation which should always be a concern and question to any consumer of electronic cigarette products. To state that there is heat sink ribbing on the sides of the internals is NOT good enough for ME. Heat dissipation and adequate battery venting are not the same thing in my book ... What you accept into your life and hands, is your business.
I have a high wattage mod, I made it, and it can put out 250W and fires down to .1ohms ...it uses a car battery, the chip is made in Zimbabwe, you wanna buy it? I give you best price
My questions and concerns are based on my knowledge, and experience with regard to electronic cigarettes, and the basic criteria that I look for in ANY new device, whether I have in it hand, or I am reading the specifications for a device as they have been presented by the manufacturer.
I have not made a single concrete statement of fact as to whether this device is good or bad, but what I did say is that based on the information provided, or lack thereof that I am left with more questions, than answers about this device, and therefore I am not sold on it... Most especially since it is a 180W mod holding 3 18650 batteries made by a manufacturer who is relatively inexperienced in manufacturing high wattage devices. What part of that did you miss?
Now, why my opinions as they were expressed here matter to you so much is completely beyond me. I am not shy to tell you that your opinion regarding the foundation of my opinion has an absolute factor of zero to me, and what makes no sense is why you continue to address me as though it matters ... it does not.
In the future, if you find that you do not agree with what I have said, and am still saying, then feel free to ignore it ... What I think, what I say, and what I do is for the sake of the members of this community who understand the value of their dollar, and the worth of their business, and who also demand to KNOW exactly what they are getting, and what it will do once they got it. I am not here for those who want to close their eyes, throw it up in the sky and hope that it doesn't come down as shit.
With that being said, I am officially checked out of this convo ... there is an article regarding a 260W device that will include a photo of its chip that requires my attention.
