Yihi, Evolv, and FSK from now on.

[Deucesjack]

I gotta admit; I'm impressed that they responded at all.
I've had their products and I do like them; I hope it works out bro.

Yeah, like I said before I'm really not to worried about the Coolfire. I mean I won it so I really can't bitch. I do love that lil mod but in the end I didn't pay for it. The VF is what really pisses me off. Funny thing is with all the bitching about the RX mine is still going strong. I thought the RX would crap out first. The VF Flask is just a solid feeling mod. I expected to get a couple of years out of it.

I hear ya. I'm kinda shocked that they didn't contact you back. vape forward is a good modder imho. The joyetech board itself I'm not a fan of.- But that's more of a personal taste thing than anything.

Just heard from VF. Dealing with them now. They had me push up and down on the 510 and asked me when I bought it. Waiting for their response. Personally, I think it's a board issue. The 510 on the flask feels exactly like the one on my RX. it's stiff with very little play compared to my Vt133, Ipv5, Slice and G2.

Well I'll be damned. Looks like VF is moving to the top of the list with the other 3. They offered to replace it with a B bin mod and they want me to pay to ship my mod back. I'm in total shock. I was very honest with them and told them it was out of warranty. I think they're being more than fair. Good on you VF. Actions like this make customers for life.

Great to hear that. I was worried when they partnered with Joytech it was basically to slap their branding on generic Joytech mods that they "influenced" and they were going to "check out". It's great they are staying on top of it at least here in the US because selling out to "Big China" was going to have some backlash and QC was certainly going to take a big hit.

 

[GorGon27]

That's true. If it is a well known chip hardly ever is the chip. Except Evolv with 18650. It was never designed for that as such it has no reverse polarity protection. I have had the fuse blow on Lipo's too though with a bad USB connection. The fuse can save a life but it is a pain from them. Otherwise it is the other parts and who put it together. HANA was made is the US but their soldering skills were a joke. Which is odd because I have been there and they have $500K worth of equipment. That does not mean anyone there knows how to use it. Cold solder or hot equals an eminent failure. plus junk 510 we often find. As for Wisemec it appears they once had a nice 510. Then came Joyetech and they started using junk ones. My VS, everyone of them the rubber peeled off in less than a week. Otherwise their build is top notch. I wish they would forgo that coating. Of course I know others had much better results. There are many good mods if you know what you are looking at. Seasoned vapers can spot this stuff. To those that are new I urge you to read reviews. Not from sellers though obviously. As for chips I put YiHi at the top for reliability. I like Evolv because of everything you can do with Escribe so besides the fuse it is a tie I guess. Now that you guys pointed out what has FSK, yes those are great as well. You only run into a problem with the chip in some no name nonsense. However there was the Evolv scrambled displays Etc. Nothing is perfect. I think we really need to think of our mods as disposable. With that in mind they are fine. What else, I never thought I would be saying a Chinese product is the top quality! I just do not like the SX Mini Q class mod just because of personal reasons but it is top notch. Just do not use it over 133 Watts or you are asking for trouble. I think the DNA250, Clouper300 Etc are stupid. Who vapes at that Wattage anyways? Might as well just get a fog machine then.

Joyetech are cheap parts though. If anyone is using their 510 Etc. it is not very good. The truth is now all the top companies are good about RMA now anyways. Plus most have a US address now as well. It is just a pain to send them back but anything can break. One problem is Lipo's really only have a 250 duty cycle. So I would only get mods were that is easily replaceable.

 

[Wingsfan0310]

VS fixed the peeling coating awhile ago.

The Hcigar VT133 (DNA200 - Dual 18650) and VS use a daughter board that provides reverse polarity protection. Evolv sent out a memo to all their partners telling them to use the daughter board when using 18650's with the DNA200. To my knowledge, Hcigar and VS are the only one that listened.

Cheers,
Steve

 

[GorGon27]

Yeah no kidding. I just got done putting a new fuse in my Triade. I am quite frankly thankful it has the fuse. I guess. Better than face destroyed no hand.
I did not know VS fixed it. Good news there. I really like them otherwise. I suppose I will go get one. I also like that they are friendly to people that are just "smokers" and not hard core cloud masters. Getting people off analogs and other tobacco is a very good thing. Few companies actually care about that part but I think VS has made a point of it. Without being a junk Ego stick and disposable clearos.

I wonder if I can implement reverse polarity protection on the Triade so it stops shredding battery wrappers. The Wisemec is actually pretty loose but mine is very old. If it is a whole daughter board I am not sure I can do it though. I would at least need the schematic which I doubt I can obtain.

I just want to make my Triade good because I bought it for a whopping $170. I see it $110 online. So since I got hosed I would really like to make it useful.

What crapped out on you?

I have to admit, I have only strayed from my normal once. I had an isitick 100tc for about two weeks to review and then gave it to a guy at work. other than that I use mechmods, prorape, evolve boards, yihi/sx boards and hexohm/okl.

outside of the dna40 disaster I have never had an issue with any lf those with electronics, and I push them pretty hard myself.

Yeah prorape is a pretty decent device

I think we really need to think of our mods as disposable.

see right there
i finally get it

iknow I have bitched about being cheap
but its for the throw away mods
my koopor plus was trhow away at $30
m y d2 and 3li at $50 a piece are close to throw away price but im going on 18 months and expect them to last much longer
just got a ipv5 for $28 new i expect at least 2-3 years out of it

but my xohm i expect to last forever - withc maybe the occasional part replaced but that happening maybe every couploe years something needs replaced. It has quality parts and assembled well, and it is nothing fancy or complicated so less to go wrong.

my advice is if you plan on vaping for a long time (years versus months) Then find a good modder who build ssomethin g that you think you can repair in the future and uses something you think will be available in the future as a chip/ and if its not the enclosure has the flexibilty to put something else in. If you want TC get the evolve or fsk chips
if you want just pure power mode PWM or OKL chipsets good 510 good battery sled good button and a durable enclosure and expectto pay $100-200 depending on the chipset

While I am a huge fan of YIHI chips I would not recomend those becuase they seem to release a new one every 4 or 5 months and the form factor may not stay the same. So if you buy one today with the newest board that board may not be available 1 year -3 years from now when you need to replace it.

BUt who knows if the FSK or DNA boards will be. Course you could always buy one as a backup and keep it stored well

the future is so up in the air with FDA...even if these companies win the first round of lawsuits...the fda can come back with a new set of regulations

Yes they do.
In fact if you put it backwards it screams and beeps at you.
It basically tells at you for sticking it in the wrong hole.

Kinda neat so that you don't close it up and then have to monkey to get the door off again.

See I was telling them the Trade is a POS. They did not want to hear it. Mine lasted 6 days. Crap store charges me $170 and says a bullshit lie the FDA will not let them replace it. So I repaired it. It is still unusable because it just rips the damn battery wrappers causing a short. I am sure that is what happened to you. Well I am guessing. Then just as I expected a guy posted the leather wore out right away. Plus don't buy leather from China. Have you sen the way these Mofo's treat animals? Sick. Leather is fine if it is the high quality Italian kind. So When apart I confirmed the 510 blows as well. They were saying it was so great. The original Reuleaux before Joyetech was very good. The new one is crap too.

I do own custom mods all the way up to several Top Hats. Those are not perfect either to be honest for the price. So these are either built in a garage for $$$ or by a team of slaves. I maintain they are all disposable. You want fool proof, get a Mech mod. Of course that does not do what we are doing here. In fact it sems they are all but gone. If something lasts or croaks is really just luck of the draw IMO. Not one I know of is incredible quality like say a Toyota. Thinking of that where are the Japanese in this game? I bet they could corner the market with reliability but they do not seem to be interested in this I guess. My latest mentality is do not count on any of them. If you think that way you won't be so dissapointed. I agree though this market is complete bullshit.

I hear from good sources that the FDA is going to come out swinging and we certainly have not seen the last of them. They are going to put so many restrictions on this we might as well smoke again. So this may be over within Two years anyways.

The whole thing is just a Damn shame. I have been vaping for Seven years so I am not in the "months" category For right now I would just understand these mods may break sooner than later. It saves rage at least. I do understand to many people this is a lot of money and I especially feel for those of you. Many people cannot afford to have them keep breaking and I truly understand that. In that case I don't know what to say. I would not go smoke though. At some point we are most likely going to be faced with quitting or smoking sadly.. I do not mean to start an argument but I personally believe this is the sad state of affairs.

 

[MannyScoot]

Leather sucks, ejuice runs down that little hill they call a 510 and into the mod under the 510 it has these little start screw that's a mother fucker to take off, the paint is coming of simply carrying in your pocket, the door rattles, my wraps are good, I took the time taking the batteries out. Other than that she Vaped good for about a month.... I haven't opened it up because I'm trying an eBay claim and if I don't get a response within 48 hours I will open a claim with PayPal......

It is not a real 510 but a real shitty one. That's for sure. The thing sucks. Unfortunately now there is no good 3X18650 mod to be had Afaik. Maybe if you are very lucky you can find an original Reuleaux which was very high quality before Joyetech came in. You can tell it because there is no CE and recycle symbol on the bottom. Beware though most places show that picture but send you the new piece of crap one. I am talking about the DNA200. all of the RX have those Two symbols.

The problem I see are fuckers on YouTube, and everywhere that have the mod box (2) or (3) days and tell you how fucking great it is, they are simply selling you something and linking sites for (2) reasons..... To get free shit and to make money..... They don't test it and tell you their experiences after a month..... They disappear and review more shit ! This is a conflict of interest in my book.....

Especially when they tell you, this box was sent to me for the purpose of this review....... Man Fuck you..... I want to hear I paid $175.00 for this mod out of my fucking pocket and this is what I think...... It sucks balls..... Don't buy it.....

Gorgon no one said the 510 in that was the greatest thing since sliced bread. People hear what they want to hear or pretend to hear what they want to hear. The 510 in every Rx sucks balls, every one of them, some suck worse than others. Early The Rx200 and the DNA they prone to being squashed and sticking. On the 200S and the 2/3 they just don't have enough travel. This is a problem with them all because of this battery configuration, on top of that the 510 placement wastes a lot of top space and it means the lots of larger Attys have lots of overhang. The Triade fixes that by having more travel with a spring that doesn't stick brought back several isches to the middle of the device allowing some larger Attys (even if 26mm+ look awkward, it doesn't go over the side of the device). LV fixes problem by choicesthat alieviates the limitations of the form factor as developed by Wismec. That doesn't mean people think its the greatest ever.

The wiring isn't the best wiring ever used. But All of the RX's including the DNA have razor thin wiring. The DNA outside of a slighty different paint job is just a board swapped version of the same device meaning it's got Joytech build quality for everything else.

No one thinks that the leather is the best in the world and it can be annoying to try to maintain it. But while having a styling plus, it just plain feels better than full metal contact. While most people haven't had the bubbling the one guy saw or the wear Manning saw. It's still a Chinese manufacturer I wouldn't expect it to compete with the customer paint jobs, good powder coating, or the polished wood and stab wood finishes on the US Himo market.

It's not the answer to every question. It's not the greatest device ever created. Its a relatively inexpensive DNA200 with 3 18650's. It happens to have some style and some character. While I don't know what killed your device or Many's hasn't been problem filled and honest early from teardowns by several people doesnt appear to be poorly built. That said it isn't hand built, every connection, every solder point, they aren't all going to be triple checked before shipping and a device can fail. Your device dying and Many's while something we should take notice of as hopefully not the start of a trend is way too early to write the device down as some POS that could die and day now.

Manny have you tried pulling the batteries and hooking it up to a charger or PC? It might have shortened and blown a fuse. The rest of the device might be OK.

I took the batts out and plugged, put 4 different sets and plugged it and the screen doesn't light up and if I open her up to see if the fuse is blown it kills the warranty......

What he said ^^^^

Manny, pull the batteries and hook it up to Escribe. If it powers on, you blew the fuse, that's an easy fix.

Wismec is just a subsidiary of Joyetech. They all have the razor thin wire, questionable build quality, and crappy 510pin.

If it doesn't light up when the batteries are pulled and plugged then the board blew. Which can be helpful in the long run. It means that it might not have been wiring issue or short, those would tend to blow the fuse before killing the board. So it might just be a board issue. Luckily those are independently warranted for a year by Evolv. I would try working with LV first but I would try Evolv after that.

I challenge you to push on the 510. same fucking thing as Wisemec/Joyetech. No travel, no spring just a rubber grommet. Originally Wisemec was not this crap Joyetech. Mine does travel. Makes contact with any atty. Yes, 25mm overhangs. It will not fit in the middle of the Triade either. Mine is about two years old. Has had hundreds of battery changes. They were originally much better quality. I do not really care if you do not believe that. .The proof is my Triade had problems from the first minute and blew in 6 days. My Wisemec is about 2 years old. Speaks for itself. I would not buy a current Wisemec. That you are right about. They suck just as bad as the Triade. You basically eluded to this is Chinese crap and indeed it is. Either one now. Take your pick. They both suck. Only high end American mods are any good. All of the Chinese mods suck. Save for Hana, they are American but suck as well. My 2 cents. You cannot say the Triade is quality. Toyota quality? I think not. None of this Chinese crap is. They are fucking ripping us off. It costs some slave child $2USD to build it and we buy them for nearly 2 Benjamin's. Fuck the hell out of that. I am perfectly happy with the old Wisemec and my atty. Unless it breaks I am not making some assholes rich anymore. Spent way more on this than smoking. Plus Analogs actually work. No, I am not going to go smoke. I do have very high end boxes but they are safe queens. Don't worry though. The FDA is fixing to shut us down completely in the near future Afaik. If you feel the Triade is great then so fine happy for you. I think it blows donkey balls. In fact just lost vape. Plenty of others suck too though.

Sorry you seem hell bent on being pissed for seemingly little reason. Again I didn't say that LV or the Triade was gods gift to mankind. No one has. There are tradeoffs. But name another DNA device with 3 18650's for the full 200w that's built better than the Triade ? It's not the RXDNA. Well unless you have this unicorn mod where a supposed Wismec not related to Joytech built it themselves. I mean the RX DNA and RX200 Launched within a month of each other and the earliest product launch seems to have been may of last year. But sure if from October to November of 2015 you got an RX DNA that's better built I'll believe you. But I was still using an Eleaf i50w device. So what recommendation would you have for someone looking for a DNA device that wants the 200w but wants replaceable batteries in today's market for newer users? That is reason number one why the Triade gets suggested. Another reason why is price I got my two for $130 and $110. Considering that very few of these have died its a pretty decent price for a 200w DNA product. Specially considering any price competitors are also Chinese. My three american devices are $200, $350, and $450 and the $200 dollar device was originally priced at $300. No one should be expecting this device to be indestructible. Not for $40-$50 (cost of device -DNA board cost) worth of construction.

As for the 510. You appear to correct. But can I ask a question? Can you tell me an Atty that doesn't sit flush? Can you link me to someone that has damaged the 510 by installing a long 510 Atty? Can you tell me of a short pinned atty that doesn't work? You think because they used a grommet instead of spring that it proves its junk. You assume there is only one way to skin a cat. All my atty's sit flush and maybe there are some that don't. it's not like that platform buys them a whole lot of room. It's like 1-1.5mm high. But they seemed to have pulled off a 510 that works with all devices, doesn't break, and sits flush with most atomizers. Sorry you have had issue with LV devices. I am sure other people will have ones that die, perhaps even myself. But it's kind of pointless to assume that its all junk because of your personal issues with the device. The RX didn't get a bad rap because one or two people got stuck 510's it got it because a significant portion of its user base had issues.

 

[f1r3b1rd]

I'm stuck on the 2 year thing. who had a 2 year old wismec mod? And who drove 55mph?

The Rx shortcomings were detected early in some of the engineering and build stats. Issues with balance charging, the510 and some under spec wiring. not knocking the mod, most love the thing and the issues were mostly resolved in some fashion, by either a newer batch or aftermarket modification- as is often the case with our community -blue foam anyone?
It is what it is though. at the time the choice was simple, Rx or lipo mod?

I've had every manner of mod fail on me except my DNA's anf FSK's. I own one Yihi mod but I never use it. I also only use these mods.

Awesomeness!!!!!!! That fuckin rocks!
You just got a zombie mod!!!

Yeah it is awesome but mind boggling. Wtf did 6 hours on the charger do to it to make it work? I'm glad it's working just weirded out by it. It's funny when Innokin first told me to do that I was like Pfft, yeah right ok these guys are just making me jump thru hoops. Lol. Glad it worked.

As I said in the other thread, obviously I misjudged time. Sorry. I am also sorry i got so mad. mine was over $200 with tax. that does not help things. Of course I did elect to pay that. Honestly I cannot recommend a god 3X18650 DNA at the moment. I do maintain the Wisemec I have here is at least as good as the Triade but certainly not new ones. I guess I was a jerk about it and I apologize. I should have just taken it like a man. It still stands neither is anything great though.

I have one of the first Reuleaux DNA's. I love it. Never did the ribbon fix or touched the 510 and she vapes beautifully. My only problem and I just noticed it yesterday is the top of the battery sled has a slight crack in it. If the 510 were to go bad I would definitely send it out to Isaac and have the 510 replaced. I would also have him rewire the whole thing while it was open. Everyone says he does great work.

Smart lipo.
We use something similar on drones; I'm unclear on the actual process; but, I've revived a DJI battery this way

You have every right to be a pissed, even to be an ass about things. I was just confused on timeline. 2 years ago we were using 12w tubes and pwm still, the dna30 was still the best of the best.
That said, you do realize that your chip is warranted by evolv for a year?

Also, and I hate to say this, whenever you buy new tech there is an inherent risk. The early mods with the board were still primarily meant for lipo packs not 18650s, the 18650 thing was more because of the demand.

in case anyone is interested in these xhom dimebox mods
vapor beast is blowing out their stock of the okl chip version
$59.97 all colors and use the coupon code laborday to take 15% off making the total $50.97 with free shipping
http://www.vaporbeast.com/dime-box-mod.html

I have a blue one on the way so I can compare the okl and pwm versions

ive been running my PWM version for 2 months now with out an issue
wiring looks well done
thing has absorbed numerous drops with out a scratch
honestly if you have been looking for the xhom v2 this is almost identical, the xhom v2 uses the same okl chipset as the one son vaporbeast
and honestly if you tried to build this mod yourself you would spend over $51 in parts

I've not paid much attention to those however I can say definitively I would not be able to own one.
Simply for one reason.
The dimes that are pressed into the case are not perfectly straight.
Sure, this may not seem like an issue to anyone else, but for me it would drive me insane.
More than likely I'd beat the hell out of it until I could remove the dime to straighten it.
Outside of that I like the white one.

 

[Mattp169]

you can pry the dimes out
they are only epoxied in
ive thought of doing it but mine are 99.5% straight
one could be about 1/2 a degree off from perfect

they are suppose to offer this with shoutgun shells and with nothing as well
but i think you got to pay full price on their website for those

You under-estimate the persuasion of my OCD.
Thus the reason I do not go to Piazza del Duomo, 56126 Pisa PI, Italy
I'm pretty sure I'd be stuck there trying to figure out how to straighten it out.
