i can so feel the love..
yes i spent actually $55 on it plus 6.95 shipping
and here is why
I did alot of research on these type of mods
i wanted the hexohm v2
and discovered the xohm
the xohm has two additonal benefits - the LED, which is basically a battery meter, and a master on/off switch
I was actually considering build my owm mod
but the xohm is exactly what i wanted in terms of features
i found them on sale at vaporbeast i belive for about $73
i was going to buy it there
but checked ebay and found somebody letting like 3 go for a low price
and got one
i wanted this style of mod becuase it is user servicable
Unlike the evolve boards - PWM and OKL boards are not vape boards, they are power boards used in many applications as someone mentioned
the only vape part is the 510, which theorectically can last forever since its just metal threads with a place to solder wires on it.
the box is not vape related- hammond boxes are used in multitudes of applications even guitar effect pedals
switches are swithces, wires are wires, battery sleds are battery sleds, LEDs are LEDs
BASICALLY
no matter what the FDA does to vaping - I can rebuild this thing forever. now granted I aint the best at building small electronics and have never built a mod, I feel confident in all my skills to replace one part at a time
so for about $60 I have a mod that I - not someone else - can keep running forever. so fuck the FDA and any rules they come up with. SO this is a very much worthwhile investment for me versus say a IPV5 which I can not rebuild myself forever. who knows if the chipset in it will be available for sale in 2 years if it goes out etc while i will not argue that ipv products could be repaired, but the parts are very specific and may not be available when needed. Versus the hexohm and xohm which uses a genericish box that gives you some flexibility in swapping out parts
in terms of what it is in comparison to other devices
take a mech mod add the ability to adjust the Voltage output form 0 to 100% of the batteries capacity using a dial(potentiometer) and depending on the board...reverse polarity protection is possible as well. oh and in the case of the xohm add a battery meter (the LED) and an on off switch
or take an ipv5 - remove the screen and replace it with a led that only displays the volts of the battery,only works in power mode no buck or boost, remove TC remove some saftey features change the buttons to adjust power with a dial(potentiometer) add an actual switch that turns it on and off and change the fire button to just be a fire button.
dirt simple mod that should hold up along time with no service needed if taken care of well
Also I paid about $50 for my IPV D2 cuz i bought it the day they were released and in stock in the USA
and I paid $50 for a used 3li a few weeks later
both of which still work perfectly today
I will pay goo dmoney for something, but i am cheap and like to find a deal. I woul dnot have spent $140 or more on a new hexohm v2 or the xohm..but I do believe $70-80 is more of teh range I would be willing to pay for them new maybe even 100, but thats only my opinion and I am not the market
