I'm glad I have my VT75. It's only been a week, but it'll always be my first DNA. :D

It's too early to give a verdict on 26650s as a whole, I'm still optimistic.
It just feels so damn good in the hand. And the Red looks tremendous.
Yes, the fat battery gives it some extra heft for it's size, much like the Reuleaux.

Damn... I'm sorely tempted to get another during the sale. :eek:

Just a word to the wise. Since Ecig.com just restocked (they carry the VT75 too) and will probably have a 4th of July sale. It might be wise to hold off for a day or 2 until we see what kind of discount they are offering. Just a thought.

Cheers,
Steve

I thought the same but knew he won't be getting any more Vi133 in. He has least got the Lost Vape Triade back in a %20 sale of the $125 for it would be nice. Been nice if he would got the Therion in also.. Hows everyone like the VT75 ? I'd maybe pay $55-$60 but i don't see paying more then that but that's me .I've heard it rattles is this just with the 18650 battery tube thingy ?

Great Tread ! I have learned alot tonight especially about the 26650 batteries.Never owned a device that uses them. It was a year after I started vaping before I ever bought any mech mods and those have all been 18650 .About all my devices have been regulated. After 3 month into vaping and 3 dead mods I started buying mods with yihi boards then took a risk on the rx200 when it was first released and its had some glitches such as it shows its charging when I never used the usb but may for 2 updates. So when I had the chance to pick the Hcigar Vi133up for cheap at ecig man this thing has changed the way I look at devices especially in Temp control .. Don'tget me wrong I own a yihi SX350J v1(120w) custom mod that had been my main mod but I think I like the DNA200 board better..My mods get used and anything that sets on a shelf for more then a week gets donated to someone who needs it more then me.So I don't see the 133 setting on any shelve for more then a few hours at best.. Love this mod. Along with everyones comments tonight I decided to pass on the DNA75 I considered buying. So I spent the extra $25 and just bought number 2 Hicigar Hi133 from VapeNW.Thanks everyone.. Still may buy a DNA75 board and build a squonker later down the road. Not really into lipos (yet) .

Sorry but I'm using it daily .My battery tray broke and needs replaced(have it rigged up right now) so I thought about turning it into a squonker by cutting a hole in the door and dropping one the batteries etc..It would only be a 60w since its a SX350J V1.The box itself makes it perfect to ad a bottle. Its been a workhorse with plenty life left.

As Far as Ecig getting the vi133back in I thought it was said in this THREAD(lol) that they were not getting anymore. So I went with VapeNW . Still $80 shipped I'm okay with .Sure would have liked to have gotten one the blue ones and got it at the same price as the Fathers day sell but $80 to me seems still Like a good deal. I may sleep on it and consider cancling my oreder by morning and grab one from Ecig....???

About $66 at VapeNW with the 20%off4thjuly code.

If I hadn't just grabbed their $80 133 (no colors though. :(), I'd have an order in for a colored one for Ecig's extra $8.

And the news that he restocked at Ecig is only a few hours old... we were all without a confirmation if they would or not the entire past week.

Ha ha...I was only kidding- unless you were gonna do it! I.

80-100 is a steal in my book. I got mine for $118 from VapeNW and have NO regrets. That said...not to push in any direction, but if you are seriously considering cancelling tour order, I would act sooner than later- VapeNW ships rocket fast! I have received notification of shipments AFTER my order was already at the post office in WA.

Like you said tho, no matter how you slice it, you are getting a terrific deal!

Good Luck either way you choose!

Yep I pulled the trigger also at VapeNW . i started to buy a Laude DNA75 for $50 (with code) or a SMY SDNA75 $55 (with code) from cigabuy as I liked the SMY pretty good from Daniels review.

That man's 'gots needs...all good! That's not off base thinking either. So here we have something else to consider. It really boils down to how much you really want it. I myself could really take it or leave it...I've got other issues, as most of you know, I'm waiting for my unicorn DNA box. The one that I don't already have, the one that is going somehow provide something different than my other 3 DNAs countless other box mods and countless mechanicals...lol. I can say something assuredly, I will be buying something come this weekend!! Lol. As I said that, I'm laughing at myself.

For some reason self deprivation ala George Carlin comes to mind :)

Goin' with the Ugly Ring um... Beauty Ring I see. :p

Tried mine with the Bachelor after the top plate seized up to the atty, but the entire AFC becomes inaccessible. Haven't tried any others since.

Alright you enabling bastards... enough. :mad:

:p

Ordered six years worth of nic yesterday so I figured I was on a roll.

So before you greedy sods with your two three FOUR VT133s... (yeah, four... that's too many) could snap them all up... I grabbed a Black & Blue from Ecig. Dammit. :rolleyes:
(BTW... "BOCA10" worked for me.)

But, I had things I wanted from Eciggity... and that's where it got strange.

I already wanted a 2nd each of the Bachelor Nano and Serpent Mini. Check.
And what's that? A discounted Merlin. Well... been thinkin' about that. Check.

But even with the 'Mizer Stumpy Cap... I was three dollars short of free shipping. o_O
And I'd already seen that they're sold out of all the decent WoToFo Comp Coil tubes.

Damn, I checked every page for something... so now I own a pack of Notch coils. :rolleyes:

Whew, done for a bit... but Vape Mail next week is gonna be somthin' else. :p

I uploaded my Ecig profile earlier in this thread with instructions on how to upload it to your mod (page 7 I think). It will be set up with 7 profiles (1 power, 6 for TC), custom screens, custom theme, case thermals, mod resistance, etc.

Cheers,
Steve

Sorry for the delay in response. I did see your link and appreciate it. I'm not sure if it's for me though. I was all about TC for a short period of time but lately have gravitated back towards SS and Kanthal in power mode. I like the TC devices, I guess kind of a better to have and not use than not have and wish did down the line. Anyway, appreciate all the information you make available Steve, it's awesome you do that for everyone.

Really the DNA is just as bulletproof as anything else. THe difference is once it's set up your done. I only use stainless steel so I really have zero fiddlefucking
All four of mine are kind of as follows
1 profile - straight power mode
2- a powerful stainless dripper profile (for dual coil fused Clapton)
3- a slightly less powerful stainless dripper profile (for dual coil Clapton wire)
4- a medium stainless profile (dual coil round wire)
5- dual coil rta (similar to '4' with less preheat
6- single the coil rta for dl
7 single coil rta for mtl
8 dual coil rta for round wire


I did it this way so that I can grab any topper and at absolute most make adjustments in power or temp but the preheats that are programmed in will all work fine on the fly like that. It's been pretty successful since outside of updating firmware I have had no reason to go into escribe for months

Thank you for the information, this is definitely more my style of vaping. Sorry for the delayed response, I'll definitely use your type of setups as a baseline.

By the way, if you build exotic or massive coils...

On the Evolv forum there's a thread about setting up Pre-Heat watts and punch for Kanthal. The technique might work with power mode SS as well.

I can't vouch for it, haven't tried... but someone here may know one way or the other.

I believe @dwcraig1 was talking about that a few pages back in this thread. I think he even posted a link to the thread (a graph too iirc). Just going off memory here.

Not sure why they made the 75 chip at all myself but each his own.

I haven't used one it's got some bad reviews but I think it is things that can be fixed through escribe. Evolve made it so I back them up the 200 is a excellent board imo. Just think the 133 defeates the purpose unless they can make some smaller and still have some battery life mods.

Again... the 200 chip wont run on a single cell.
(just checking... you know the 133 is the 200 chip in 2-cell mode?)

Efficiency aside (85%? really? :( )... it's their first shot at the single cell 75w sector.
It's a BIG segment of the market.

And it's early days... we'll see what changes they will, or can, make to it.
As far as I know... the DNA40 was very popular. Very. But it's a bit anemic to new buyers.
The 75 was very anticipated.

I understand that. I'm saying if form factor is not smaller what's the purpose. From what I understand the 75s are not much smaller but I don't have one so......

I think the intent of the 75w board was for the segment that likes the smaller form factor mods, or those that don't want a dual batt mod out of discomfort for multiple batteries

A lot of folks don't like the concept of 2 batteries for a lot of reasons.
I've also heard rumors of a provari radius with a dna75. (i have nothing but pure conjecture on that one)
But that general crowd, would never go for a dual batt mod.
Also there are people like myself that like the smallest mod I can get that makes practical sense. Hence my vaporshark and Hana Mini fanboism

The VT75 is quite a bit smaller than the VT133, and that's one of the smaller 133s.
And being a 26650 enclosure, the VT75 is not the smallest of the 75s.

And yet... next to say a VTC... the 75 is marginally taller (1cm?) but not much greater in footprint, 26650 bulge notwithstanding. It's got great handfeel.
