It's comfy to hold.
Ok so I've finally had a chance to sit down with the slice and try out the Kanthal TC. At the end of the day, that's what I bought it for. I tried it out using a Herakles Plus with a .42 Kanthal coil and had it sent to 15% (can't remember the name of the menu option for the %) 60w, 480 degrees. I wasent sure if I needed to but I locked in the resistance as well.
I was pleasantly surprised; this thing actually does what it claims and I managed to set it up on my first try. I haven't tried it out with an RDA but I did vape the tank dry and it did what it's supposed to do. I'm sure someone will eventually come around and tell it's not really doing temp control but as far as I'm concerned, it works.
In all honesty, I really did not want to like this mod. I've always viewed the whole FSK thing with skepticism and Phil's video on the G2 (I'm aware of all the issues and mistakes made in it) didn't help the cause. However when I started to see that @Deucesjack was endorsing it with such enthusiasm, I had to try it for myself. I figure the guy owns two of every mod know to man so he must know what he's talking about. It must be like the vapors Ark over at his place...
Anyhow, sorry for rambling but I was excited that it works so well and my wife fell asleep halfway through me telling her about it, so I gotta tell someone.... Quick question, what is the auto TC option? I have it off, should I be using it?
Thanks

Thx for the kind words. Nah, I never use auto tc. I like controlling my own vape.

Cool I'll just leave it off. Thanks.
The ability to do TC with Kanthal was the only reason for getting a Slice myself. I have the LE. However, as strange as it is, I haven't used any Kanthal build on this mod yet.
IMO, it's definitely a mod that you have to get used to. I haven't tried all of it's features yet. However, I like to tinker a lot, just like with my RC Helis.
Yeah, I get that you are using TC.
That's why I mentioned that TC is not going to suck your battery down because it varies the power delivered to the coil to hold the temp.
Unlike power mode vaping which delivers a continuous wattage to the coil.
No that's 26650 voltage sag. What voltage is the battery when the device says 30%?

Don't know but I'll check when I recharge a battery today. Last night I dropped one in the charger and it said 24% which is the lowest I have seen so far. Like I said it's really not that bad I just wish the battery meter was more accurate and didn't fluctuate all over the place. Battery life wise I'm ok with the mod. It might have been my expectations as well because up until this mod I never owned a 26650 device. I came awfully close to buying a Stout but when I saw this mod the Stout went on the back burner. I would love to see a comparison in battery life between the Stout and Slice. If anyone has both I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

We can agree to disagree.
Well here is the official explanation for the battery meter from Hohmtech:
Hi Jack, battery meter reads instant surface volt, and not full snap back volt so it will appear to move about quite a bit. Also, 0% on Hohm Slice vs. 30% on charger, this is most likely due to the charger evaluating the 26650 cell as a standard li-ion in the 18650 family where voltage can go substantially lower. For example, common 26650 has a cut off of 3.0V - 3.2V, where as the Hohm Grown has a cut off of 2.9V. However, these values when compared to a cells such as LG HG2 or HE2 (or HE4), these values range from 2.0V to 2.5V for cutoff. So a charger will evaluate % substantially different between 26650 and 18650. We look forward to the day that 26650 chemistry technology catches up to the 18650 levels found at IC (Indonesia Chemistry). We did get improvements on the existing 26650 foundation cell, but were bound by limitation of technology. Nonetheless, we're quite pleased with the performance we achieved from the Hohm Grown 26650. Hope your day is great.

The battery read out is like the G2, I just picked up the G2 and it said 88%, took about 3 puffs and saw the battery dip to about 78% but climb back to 81% before the screen went dark. I just clicked the fire button on the G2 after a couple of minutes resting and it read 84% at first then climbed to 86% after a second.
It reads voltage sag and a single 26650 is going to sag more than dual 18650's. It is reading the voltage in real time so that is why it will recover after using it, all batteries do. In reality it is probably a lot more accurate than other battery meters which don't really drop after a long pull but we all know the battery has just been drained a little and will recover.
I haven't really noticed much of a difference battery life wise between the Slice and Stout but it is too soon to really tell since I have been using the slice like crazy. The Stout would last me all day or 2 but I only use it on the road and other mods at home. The Slice I go through a battery a day so far but I use it on the road and home so it is not really the same usage.

Get a Boreas and you'll go through some juice. That tank is a juice whore. I think I vape 15mls with my first cup of coffee. Lol.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using Tapatalk
Too funny. When I first got the Boreas I was like yeah......8ml is going to last a while, I was wrong......lol
I actually use it for juices I like but I'm not to crazy about. A while ago Gatorade sued a juice company. They knocked down the bottles that were in violation to $5 for 120mls. I got Blue Raspberry and Strawberry, 2 bottles each. I figured what hell $20 bucks for almost 500mls. The juice is vapable but it's really meh. I run it in the Boreas now so I can plow thru it and not have it go to waste.

I can live with that explanation from Hohmtech. I had a feeling this was what we were seeing from the meter. I think batt life is fine for me. About to fill third tank on Avocado and at 57% 60w vaping...I shouldn't have cheaped out on the Basen batts I got. Should have bought the Hohm grown. I'll get one or two when I order another Slice.
The clicky batt door was bugging me out. I did the tape fix and all is well now, very solid feeling.

I like the Basen just as much as the Hohm Grown. My experience has been that they are very comparable. The MXJO'S are shit in my opinion. When I bought the MXJO'S a bunch of 26650 mods had just come out because no one had the Basen. There must have been a run on them. Had I known Hohmtech was going to be so late to the market I would have waited to buy batteries.

You have both? That's all I need to know if you say they compare...
@Deucesjack So I built the boreas today. Pretty easy. I may have to get a couple more of those as backup.
Lol, I told you bro. One of my favorites but she's a cloud machine and a juice whore. I'm ordering another 2 before 8/8.

Is vaporcube the only place that sells the hohmslice? I almost broke down and bought one but they don't sell 26650 batteries, and really don't want to have to buy a battery separate.
Got mine at the Cloudy Vapor but last I checked they only had blue. Brent the owner is a great guy. Vapor Cube should carry the batteries as they are Hohmtech's factory store.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk
If they carry them, they sure got em hidden well lol
Yeah looks like you're going to have to get the batteries elsewhere. No one else even has the Slice in stock.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk
That's true, especially with a dual 10 wrap 22g kanthal. I don't like the short drip tip that comes with it so I may have to replace that.
The Merlin drip tip is real nice on the Boreas. I hope they wind up selling them separately. I'm a buyer if they do.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk
+1, Brent is too cool and thecloudyvapor.com has my business whenever they have something I want.
If they don't have the batteries though lightning vapes sells the Hohm tech batts. To be honest there nice batteries, I have the 26650 but I don't notice a big difference between them and my Mooch approved Basen's. The main + for the Hohm batteries is there so new that there unlikely to be cloned yet.
Agreed, no difference in run time between the Hohmtech and Basen batteries so get whatever ones you can find the best deal on. Just stay away from the MXJO'S because they run considerably worse than the aforementioned 2.

@Deucesjack Out of the boreas, merlin or avocado which tank do you think gives the best flavor as this is really all I care about. I don't have the merlin yet and have been reading up on the avocado. I researched the limitless rdta and don't like how the wicks seem to be screwed in the threads when tightening the top cap. Is that your experience?

ALLERIA!!!!
Just in case that is not very clear, Your next flavor tank should be ALLERIA

LOVE my Alleria!! But, should check out the IJoy Tornado Nano too. Been vaping it a couple days now with the prebuilt chip coils and it is AWESOME!! Will be building the rba in a few days.ALLERIA!!!!
I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

I like the Alleria over the Boreas, have all three Augvape tanks but the Alleria is the only one I have multiples of: 3 in residence and 2 on the way. I did order the aromamizer supreme just to see what all the hoopla is all about (4 ml form FT, so it'll be here before Christmas or so).

@midknight420 , let us know how the rba works out.
I sure will. I can't wait to try a fused clapton in it

Avocado has the best flavor but it's a pain to carry around because it doesn't hold a lot of juice. How can it not the coils are just so close to your mouth like a dripper. If I'm at home and I want flavor I grab my Avocado. If I'm out I grab my Merlin or Boreas. Can't go wrong with any of them in my opinion. The Alleria is great too but the Boreas and Merlin are better IMO.

The Alleria is I my daily rotation and I LOVE it. Well worth another look. I saw a YouTube video from an Irishman named Vaping with Vic that sold me on it. Good review of it. Please let us know what you think.

Why do I get the feeling that the iJoy tornado doesn't make for a good MTL tank
I think it would be just fine as an MTL tank. I don't do it myself but don't see why it wouldn't be just fine I that manner.
I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

Put a little review together but most of you have heard this song and dance from me. Now its all in one place.

Sorry but I never had the og version.
And Tapatalk is screwing up my pics...I am stuck on an old version because they made a bunch of updates that made it unusable to me.
I saw that. The wicking reminds me of the lemo which I could not wick.
Anyone's screen crooked?
