Hexohm v3 is nearly perfect

[bmclaurin]

I own an embarrassing number of mods of all types, shapes, sizes, levels of sophistication, price points, etc. But I have to say that the Hexohm v3 is my consistent, undisputed favorite. There's just something about it that I can't quite pinpoint that makes using it an absolute delight. Its simplicity, build quality, clean aesthetics, size, shape, weight, and feel just seem to come together to make a consistently enjoyable vaping experience literally every single time. It's ironic that, apart from my mechs, it probably has the least features of any mod I own, yet I tend to reach for it way more often than any of them. Maybe it's precisely this lack of features that makes it so great. No screen and buttons to be constantly fussing with, just attach atty and dial to taste, kick back and enjoy. I do sometimes wish it had a small volt meter (and maybe even an ohmmeter) placed neatly somewhere inside the mod so as to not mess up the clean exterior aesthetics and not become a distraction while vaping. But other than that, the damn thing is nearly perfect for my style of vaping.

Sorry, no real point for making this thread, other than to throw some praise on this great mod that I haven't seen many mentions of lately here.

I like simple. And pics of cool stuff. PICS!!!!

Here is today's combo. Hexohm v3, Limitless RDTA Classic.

Here's another one from a couple months ago with the Goon RDA.

And here is a handy little chart I affixed to the inside of the battery door to give me a rough idea of the wattage it's pushing for selected resistances and pot settings. I used a DMM to measure the voltage output at equally spaced pot settings shown in the first two columns.

I have 2 HexOhms, a 2.1 and a 3. They are by far the smoothest hitters I have. They are popular because they just work with out problems and work well.

+1 for your safety chart. great idea!

Anyway of explaining how you did that chart. Sorry if this is a noob question. Couldn't figure out what to search for about this. I kinda want to eventually get a mod like this or similar. I'm just still not sure because of safety concerns with batteries

Well for the 2nd column, I just used my DMM to measure the voltage output at each of the selected pot settings. The rest of the columns are just simple calculations using Ohm's law. I used Excel, and I'd be happy to upload the spreadsheet to this thread later tonight when I get back to my laptop. It's nothing fancy or complicated, but happy to share if it would be helpful.

Here is the Excel spreadsheet, as promised.

If you're concerned with battery safety, here is another way of viewing the same data, but in a graphical format. The 3 line plots show the wattage output of 3 different resistances (0.20, 0.35, and 0.50 ohms) at each of the available pot settings. The background color shows you the minimum constant discharge rating (CDR) of the cells that will safely support that wattage.

From bottom to top:

• Green = 20A cell
• Yellow = 25A cell
• Orange = 30A cell
• Red = danger zone (i.e., greater than 30A, which no cell can safely support)

So, for example, if you're vaping a 0.20-ohm build (the blue line in the chart) at a pot setting of 80, the chart shows you that you that the Hexhom v3 will be putting roughly 132 watts out of the coil, and since that point lies in the yellow region of the graph, you will need 25A cells to safely support it.

Conversely, the chart also tells you that if you stay below roughly 112 watts (the upper bound of the green region), or if you never build below roughly 0.34 ohms, then no need have more than a 20A CDR. And by using 20A cells in favor of 25A or 30A cells, you will generally get better runtime.

Here is my baby. Only 6 Of these exist and signed by both Pip and Scott owners of Suicide Bunny. By far my FAVORITE mod!!!
