I think its just a place holder value... otherwise they are preying on the people who "MUST" have it... I want it, but at nothing above $139. I don't think its worth more...the 250's are $128-$169 pretty much everywhere.

To be honest for 150 I'd rather have the finder or therion. The VT was good because price point. At the same price point I think the therion and finder models look better

The shape of the mod looks different than the VT133 in that picture. If it works with 24-25mm atomizers without overhang and that is only the MSRP, it might be worth getting.

There is no good reason GB should have an obscene price like $218.28 listed. That's just crazy, the chip is the same price as the DNA200 ($80). I would think something like $150 would be what it comes out at. :cheers:

Looking good my friend! It really is pretty nice in hand. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like it. :cheers:

Cheers,
Steve
I'm shocked! I didn't think I would like it at all... I was convinced it would be a fucking brick, coming from vaporshark mods and tubes.

boy was I ever wrong

Enjoy it! And yes, it really does feel good in your hand. Now, can you get the drone to bring it to you if you left it in the other room?:)

Price is way too good to be true. Can't order yet it says notify. I think it's a placeholder

The black and the brown finders look real nice. I hope they still do the antique copper version too.

My guess it will be priced like the therion 167, around $125 or so.

There is something wrong wrong with mine. One day it vapes SS316L at 470/60w and the next I have to crank it to 510. Evolve is trying to help but I'm moving on to the Efusion.

See maybe I'm just tripping but I don't like the fact that there isn't any battery support on the sides of the finder. Couldn't the batteries slide side to side? Does the door latch to the body and create a secure box for the batteries? I guess I'm afraid of the batteries coming disconnected in my pocket. Maybe I'm afraid that when taking the door off then the batteries will fall out. Maybe it's something new to me and that's why I don't like it. Not sure.

saddened today...my VT133 died...in talks with Nick at Evolv.

Did nothing out of the ordinary..Just slapped in some charged 30Q's and got the dreaded "Check Battery" Warning... All my Google Skills ended up with was, Contact Evolv. ;-)

Chillin with the Back up Device, and my tubes for a while I suppose.

Side note...If that Finder is $69, that falls into my budget for 2! lol

But I think its also a placeholder value

I feel your pain! I have 2 down now. I have to start the process myself:mad:

Not trying to be a smartass, but just how did you kill two of these?
I've been on the same one since forever, and while it has some ejuice bubbling on the frame, works just fine.
Wonder if a bad batch didn't escape...

Not sure what happened? I put in two fresh 30q's last night(#1), about 30 min later the battery showed 25%. Threw the Supreme on a Duo and went on about my night. This morning i checked it with Escribe and one battery was showing 3.3v. I checked it with 3 sets of fully charged 30q's and the same thing. So i grabbed another Vt(#2) (own 7 of them-5 new in box) that i had used before. I installed a fresh set of 30q's and it would not power on, only thru Escrible. The freaking fuse must be blown. They have reverse battery protection and short protection. Never installed batteries wrong, so i have no damn clue WTF happened with either of them. It was a bad day!!
Edit....Serial # 10036 & 9634

Hey guys, I have an Aromamizer Supreme LE inbound from FT. :bliss:
Since the Supreme is such a loved RTA around these parts, any good tips or links on wicking it up all proper like for single and dual?

I picked up another Wrecker G2 as well, it's really too bad the VT133's weren't available at that price.

Congrats buddy :vino:. That makes sense with the way the cells were reading, I'm glad you got it up and running again! :cheers:

Thank you! Another thing to look out for is the top springs get weak over time and only held in place with a plastic cover plate and 1 very tiny screw. While i had it apart, I stretched the springs and put supports between the plastic cover & case to help hold it down. On a side note.....That was pretty slick how they put the daughter board under the bottom 2 battery post :cheers:
My #2 Vt133 does have a blown fuse and reading 5.1v on battery #1 in Escripe. How that happened is still beyond me:crazy:

Heck, sometimes it almost seems like I know what I'm talking about :giggle::giggle::giggle:.

I can get you a link to where you can get replacement fuses. The thing if it's something wrong with the board, the fuse will just blow again. You never know, it could have just been a bad fuse, but I tend to think it's usually something that causes them to blow. :cheers:

PS Let me know and I'll shoot you the link.

Cheers,
Steve
