I got it the 9/18 when ecig had it on sale and it has gone back for warranty repair twice already. VaporCube is the warranty servicer and it is $8 plus shipping each time it went back. They claim mine is the only one that has come back twice and only 7 total but that doesn't help me any. As I said when it works I love it and it is one of my favorite mods. YMMV
What went wrong with your Hohm Wrecker?I don't have the Snow Wolf or the IPV 3li but I do have the Hohm Wrecker and love it...when it works.
The first time about four weeks in the chip went bad I think because the screen looked like a scene from the Matrix and it wouldn't fire. After I got it back, it worked fine for about an hour then I started getting check battery messages. At first I thought my batteries might be shot so I replace them. About 10 minutes later, it started again and continued constantly. It took about 10 days to get it fixed and I just got it back yesterday. So far it is working great so fingers crossed.
Despite woodyt74's issues, I went with the Hohm Wrecker. That being said, anyone want to buy a Sig 100W??
I hope so too! Thanks for the feedback though. Do you use the temp control?
That's great to hear. I'll be using Ti, so I'll have to tune it down way low. Probably no chance of using SS 316L on it then.Yes and I think it works very well. I also love how quick and easy it is to switch back and forth between power and tc modes.
That's a good price again in the black to go with my orange one. Must...control...shineyitis...
Thanks for the reply, at e-cigs price I'm going for the Black and Silver Limited Edition!
I agree but the solid color looks great and provides some good texture for gripping the mod.
It got shipped today!
Thanks for the info. Hope you're able to figure out what the problem is with yours!
On/off and switching between wattage and temp control modes.
Thanks for your input! My TC experiences this far have been the Evic VT (fucking weak!) and the iPV D2, which has been my main mod lately. I really need more power, as I want to start building claptons as my standard coils, maybe even some fused.
So ecig.com got a nasty email from Hohm Tech? Or you got one yourself?
This. I suppose I was a bit unclear on who received the email lol. There's a reddit thread about it, they raised the price to 1,000,000 I'm pretty sure in response, and provided a coupon code to bring it back down. Pretty funny, they had no pricing agreements with the company, so they did right by the customer. They've always done right by me. Ecig.com, that is.
That's awesome to know. I feel even better about snagging it for $77 then!
Have to agree on the ergonomics as the downside but the rest is great. Have you tried TC yet? Mine seems to be running weak after the check battery fix, probably 60-70 degrees cooler than the same tank on my sig 150 tc. Power mode is fine. I don't remember this issue before that fix.
I've actually only vapes TC on it so far. I'm also using titanium. I find that around 100 degrees less than my iPV D2 in Ti mode is what I like. I don't use nickel anymore so that may not be an accurate comparison. But weak? Not in any capacity.
Very good comparison. Makes be want a Tugboat DNA 200 really bad! How do you feel about the battery life on the lipo? Does it charge quickly?
yes you can use SS in power mode just fine.. SS is just different wire it has similar abilities to Kanthal the major plus of SS is being able to use almost twice the wraps at a similar Ohm readind in theory giving faster ramp up time as well as more area for heating
Its super nice, looks like a fat daddy 510 pad. Very well made. I was worried about LiPo's and escribe, which is why ive been waiting and watching on the DNA 200. I gotta head out, but ill say its close to on par with 2 LGHE2's. I can detail later. Been doing experimenting, am today as well. Ill report back.
Sure hope others have better luck.
I hear ya. If it weren't a gift, I wouldn't have it. I lucked out. He also gave me one $22 bottle of juice free, so that's kinda a discount. Lol. About 10% if you look at it as such.
Wow, sorry to hear that man... Mine literally has not had a single glitch at all, all my YIHI devices have had little glitches on occasion, this one not a single one. It sucks you got a lemon, it's a good device. Sorry man.Final update...Mine is a total lemon!! Out of warranty now and still getting constant "check battery" messages despite two warranty repair trips at a cost of $28. TC is useless with a cold vape and no flavor even at 580F. Was a total waste of money for me. Sent an email to Hohm Tech and never got a response.
Man that is really terrible! Not really great PR for Hohm Tech seeing as they're s but of a one trick pony thus far. They really should just send you a new one... or the company that handles their warranty should. The way I see it, your warranty should start fresh once it gets repaired.Final update...Mine is a total lemon!!

I certainly would be pissed too. After hearing all this I probably won't be buying another product from Hohm Tech either. My plan is to sell some other things in order to buy a DNA 200 device (if they ever release the escribe software for Mac OS) and keep this one as a back up. That's just some shameful behavior by Hohm Tech and VaporCube. So sorry that happened to you. Makes me wonder if this is happening a lot. You'd think if it was only yours they wouldn't fear losing money since they're only replacing one mod. If they don't answer I can only assume it's because they'd lose a ton of money replacing a lot of mods. Make sense?
Sure makes sense to me, replacing an occasional bad mod is just good business so they are either horrible business people or, as you say fear having to replace a boatload of bad mods. I just ordered a Koopor Plus 200W TC mod to replace this piece of crap. Only $44 with free shipping, does all three wires in TC and I don't have to dink around with an unstable app like my X Cube II. I would like to play around with a DNA 200 device but they are pricey and, like you, need the escribe software for Mac OS.
