Yeah, I'm with you btw. So long story short Hohmtech is the good guy here for claiming they will honor their warranty/returns. But in order to actually have them follow through on that claim you have to go through the bad guy here, Vaporcube, who doesn't appear to be honoring shit atm?
Sorry, that isn't adding up in my book. White knight the shit out of that effort behind one drive by post all you want, but at the end of the day talk is cheap and it either amounts to more then words or it doesn't.
My friend who took me up my previous recommendation of ordering a Slice/Skillet just got his sent to the wrong address. No reply by today so his paypal claim goes in tonight. My advice here would be to stay far away from Hohmtech/Vaporcube atm unless you are the type that is content buying something you want with little thought put into after-sale security (so basically you look at it like buying from China
). Because regardless how much the rather small amount of us all love that FSK chip, absolutely nothing happening lately at face value is really suggesting that Hohmtech will be sticking around for the long haul imo.

@ellnic, same situation as @jbone6977, we are not receiving any emails from you apparently, as we're not finding anything in our system not replied to that isn't a solicitation. Our system and team does not discriminate or pick and choose between emails. This would be quite the opposite of the values and ethics we proud ourselves on and abide by. We humbly apologies you are experiencing an issue. The easiest, fastest, and most energy-efficient method to resolution is to send device into the warranty center. No email is needed (or suggested) to send them. Just follow steps on warranty page (if don't follow steps, this can cause unneeded delays). Also, if you have/use a gmail email address, no reply would have been received on your or their end, as there is some sort of issue we've been informed with Magento and Gmail communication. I can't expound on this, as I am only relaying what we've been informed. I was also informed they are doing all they can to keep up with the various angles of workload hitting them during the holidays.
Again, if there is a defect/issue, we stand behind the device, we stand next to you...arm & arm, hand & hand (trying to paint a picture of our sincerity that you nor anyone is an outcast here)....just need to send it in following the steps outlined on the warranty center page. Nothing more, nothing less.
We cannot afford to visit here often as we're also bit under powered during the holidays, but if you need to reach us, please email us from another email address (or call). If we miss your call, levae a message and the next available team member will return your call. Perhaps we did reply to a previously sent email...just an idea, but please check spam/junk mail folder.
Sincerely,
Tim

I am not taking sides here, just wanted to comment on my experience. I bought 3 G2's in the last 6 weeks. I thought I might be having a problem with my silver one. Last week I emailed hohmtech and got a reply within about 30 minutes. Just my expereince. Hope everything works out well for those having problems
Oh, was just catching up on the thread. Haven't been here in a couple of weeks I guess. I was thinking about buying another G2, but it appears they are no longer avalible, this makes me very sad. I wonder if that is going to be a permanent thing, or will they offer more?

VaporCube will have a few hundred more listed any day now, as they ordered them last week. However, they won't be pricing at that same low price. They'll now be $69.97 from what we've gathered from their team. Coupon will use same codes: "G2FLASH" for Limited Edition, "G2FLASHx1" for Standard Edition. These codes are applicable to the Wrecker G2 models. Hope this helps.

This will certainly sound biased, but I assure you, although Mooch indicated best performance from the iJoy cell he used, it was a stock BBC (Bofuneng Battery Co.) cell. As is the Basen, & Brillapower. Where the Hohm Grown sets itself apart isn't so much in it's attempt to deliver more amperage, it targeted safety. Grown cell utilized the revised cathode (UHP tag that's -0.3mm shorter), revised chemistry to accommodate a faster charge, installed poly seal with refined bitumen to ensure if there were a thermal runaway situation, it is contained and not jeopardizing a venting situation, and to ensure the most confidence in safety, the PTC was exchanged for the resized EPTC (enhanced positive thermal coefficient) ring. Adds up an utmost safe battery with revisions in place to make it perform amongst the top performers in the 26650 realm. Downfall with 26650's in general though, is the technology lacks that of the 18650 (performance per sq/cm area). However, iJoy, Basen, Brillapower...all good cells. Hohm Grown, right there alongside them performance wise, but is unprecedented in its safety measures. Perhaps this may helps some.
I am a naturally skeptical person by nature so forgive me if this comes off wrong. On Tuesday, Jacob from your office said there is no G2s except for the blue LE and he doesn't know when the next production date will be. I'm okay with that, but then vaporcube pulls all the refurbs off the site and now you are saying they got a shipment of new G2s, Jacob said there was no shipment? Where'd the refurbs go? So confused

very nice to know!
since your here, any chance i could get a response to this post?
thank you very much for your reply! many of us love your products and the chip!
I even made a video on how good your mods are and service is so i'm glad to see you respond here!
I have a question on number 6 and i fully understand if you are not allowed to answer it, but what mods would that be (if you can't can't answer maybe recommend me a mod lol ) as that would be a huge selling point of a mod IMO. I'd feel great buying a chip that was designed by hohmtech regardless of the mod it was in.
Also do you have plans on selling the FSK chip or maybe anything in the works for use in other mods. Smok just made a DNA 200 mod, Hcigar, lost vape, and think vape all make mods using DNA chips and they are beautiful mods but i'd kill for one of them with an FSK chip in it as i personally prefer it to the DNA chip. don't get me wrong the DNA chip is great, i just personally prefer your FSK chip
also on number 4 since you aren't a mod maker does that mean production on the G2 and slice is dead? and we won't see any more hohmtech mods in the future? i loved the quality of your mods even if the design was a bit lacking
Thanks again Tim for all you do. Most of us really appreciate having you guys here. Any teasers on what may be coming out in the future?

As for #6, I truly am unable to provide this information. Some will surely process this as "we're full of it", as we seen that pattern of the human mind last year when we announced that we cracked the code of kanthal TC. As for selling the FSK chip, we kind of already do, on a smaller scale of sorts. We are crossing our fingers a mod manufacturer seeks us out for a chip that requires 2-4 cells, and allows us to make the chip our way, enabling full EPT functionality. All mod manufacturers using DNA, from what we understand, their contract with Evolv has them restricted/prohibited from using other chips. That is our understanding.
Oh, to touch on #6 a little more, the chips we're doing for the few we do build for, are built 100% to their firmware layout/specifications. Why did they seek us out versus going with Yihi, Evolv, or another?...our pricing is competitive, and our defect rate is a fraction of what competitors rate is (under 1% within first 90 days of ownership, and under 1.6% for first year of ownership). Numbers may be skewed as some owners may not report a defect and/or haven't owned device full year which we know immediately upon connecting device to our software (reports in software: internal use only serial number, date of first power on, # of times fired, average wattage used, peak wattage used, average ohm, lowest ohm, highest ohm, average duration of vape, max duration of vape, and a bit more data).
I understand I've mentioned we will not be partaking here often, and I must state this again. I humbly appreciate being accepted with open arms and only a few frowns. I must get back to "ignoring emails" now (joke). Happy Holidays everyone!

thanks for the response! sucks about the DNA deals though. what about a company like P4U which uses YiHi chips? maybe their deal is different? or custom made 3d print one's like boxer mods? I don't think smok would have a deal like that since they are just making their 1st DNA and also have their own chips they use still. Or a company like Smoant. their battlestar is a really nice mod. would be killer with an FSK chip in it
Guess he didn't want to talk about the mystery shipment of new G2s vaporcube got immediately after they pulled the refurbs off the site. Might be a coincidence but I must say, sounds a little bit like bullshit to me.
Or what? Are you going to start typing in ALL CAPS next?
I've stayed pretty silent through all of this, mainly because I own only two hohmtech devices. One of wich is a present for me from my wife that's not opened yet. I have had zero issues with hohmtech as a company, my one and only G2 is flawless, the chip is spectacular.
With that said, Vaporcube on the other hand totally fucked up my order on the colors of the 4 skillets that I received. It really didn't bother me because neither my parents, my wife or I care what color we use. I chalked it up to either an abundance of orders in a short time due to the sale or could have also been the fact that their website couldn't keep up to the orders vs stock on hand and they had filled my order as close as they could instead of wasting time and emailing back and forth, which if this is the case I'm great full for because it's the holiday season and we all want our orders the day before we place them. Vaporcube has had less than a great reputation as of late, but that is in no way hohmtechs fault.
Now, with all that said, since you had popped up here (which was only a little while ago from what I can recall, I don't remember seeing you around here from more than 3 weeks to a month ago. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong but prove me wrong) you have just been spreading around negativity both you and that fella from the UK. At least One of the 2 of you is only here to stir up shit, imo. I don't know who, but you are feeding off one another. He has an issue, wich could be fixed through warranty but he doesn't want to send it in for warranty because it will cost him additional money. I understand that but it's clearly stated on the warranty card how it works. If he decides not to follow the instructions on said warranty card that's his problem and he should not go around bad mouthing a company for something that he is refusing to do. Clearly after you used a different email from Gmail your issue got resolved and I'm glad for you. So like the previous gentleman said. STFU.

Ok, since no one else is I'm going to address the elephant in the room. I just can't understand for the life of me why anyone would want to berate a company rep on this board. What do you expect to accomplish? First of all you can call it white knight, fanboy, whatever you want but the fact of the matter is Tim walked into a room that has been shit talking his company for the last few days. Say what you want but that took balls. I never saw Sigelei, Evolv or any other company for that matter go into a thread that was bashing their products. The fact that this guy is willing to walk into a Lion's Den and open up a line of communication should earn him a certain amount of respect and cordiality. I'm not saying anyone should kiss the guys ass but why be snarky and rude? What's that going to prove or accomplish? It's also pretty selfish as well. I'm not going to name names, the people I'm talking about know exactly who they are. It's selfish because the rest of us would actually like having a company rep drop in here once and awhile. It gives credibility to the thread. It also provides us a line of communication and possible influence on future products. Why would anyone want to ruin that? It's not only bad for the thread in general but it lessens your own credibility in every other member's eyes. I'm not looking to start a shit storm here. I could care less if anyone here ever buys another HT product again. It's not my company nor do I have any owning interest in it. I'm just saying be cordial and respectful. Companies tend be be more helpful when they're not being talked at in a snarky manner. In another thread we had Roxy from Augvape. She was a real asset and everyone enjoyed having her here. Then one day some guy that was trying to make a name for himself trolled her. She left, that guy is hardly ever here and VU lost a member that really added some value. I'm not saying you don't have a right your opinions, everyone does. Just be cool about it.

Ditto!
I will try to put this delicately, if nobody in this thread sees anything suspicious about a Hohm tech rep saying that vaporcube is getting a new shipment of G2s immediately after they pulled all the refurbs off the site and doesn't question that fact then you are a bunch of sheep.baaaah. If everybody in this thread thinks vaporcube and Hohm tech are 2 separate entities then how in the fuck did I get emailed from Ben on a VaporCube email apologising for not answering me sooner? I don't need to argue the point any more than that, if someone has a logical rebuttal for either of my questions I will be more than happy to stfu.
You were already told that Ben used to own vaporcube, so it's only logical that he may still have an email with that domain. I had a Rogers account for years after I moved out of my parents house even though I had my Internet through bell. Up until about 8 months ago, if I were to email you it would have came from @nl.rogers.com even though I was in no way affiliated with Rogers, it was just easier to forward my Rogers emails to my email app on my phone then to switch everything around
It was a response to my vaporcube ticket, how would he see it?
Look, I'm as much a conspiracy theorist as what you seem to be portraying. If in fact that they are going to sell the refurbs as new, then that will lower mine as well as many others opinions of both companies. Until that happens, we don't k ow why they pulled them. Maybe it was because they were I face sold out or maybe it is because they realized that their sale price was still going on and they wanted to stop it.
Ok, plausible, but go back a couple pages and you will see a screen shot of a Hohmtech email from Jacob saying there is no G2s and he doesn't know when they will start producing them again
I don't know, maybe a glitch in the system from still having that domains email. I didn't realize that it stemmed from a VC ticket. Maybe it's a completely different Ben r. I'm sure there are many Chris Ds, not only in the world but I have worked with some right here at home. The only one confirming that it's one in the same is you. That's like me telling you I can give you the winning numbers for tonight's lotto and then me confirming my own statement and you taking it as the truth
I remember seeing that but maybe VC already had their order placed and filled before that email was sent and responded to.
That bolded section just stood out light neon lights, I hope it's true.
You have stated your case enough already, we get it, now move on.
So your theory is that when Jacob from Hohm tech was quoting vaporcubes inventory he didn't know that they had a shipment coming?
They don't have any extra. They have blue. Everything else was already spoken for by VC. Obviously he knew there was a shipment comming but couldn't allow your "friend" to make a quantity purchase because they were already sold to VC

So it's not logical they sold out of refurbs and new so they placed an order for more? GTFO with your BS. U got some issues dude. I feel bad for u. U must hate your life to spend time trolling

I will type slower so you don't have to read so fast...he was already quoting vaporcubes inventory so why wouldn't he have said there is a shipment on the way?
baaaaaaah
you know what, there needs to be a probation period for new users. Trolls be trolling, mean while us hohmBoyz vaping away on our fine mods.
audaces fortuna iuvat
Is it not possible that with the mod gaining popularity that they placed an order for more before running out to ensure the minimum amount of time of having them out of stock could be achieved? VC emailed hohmtech, stating we have X number on hand and we want Y number more asap. Therefore clearing our hohmtechs next order and not allowing anymore for your fake purchase? Generally a company doesn't wait to run out of stock to order more of a popular item. If you were almost out of juice would you wait till you had none left to get more? I think not
Pretty sure vaporcube and holmtech are one company... because in a SEALED holm skillet box there was a vaporcube card.

Yeah, probably what happened
As there was in my SEALED G2 box. It's already been established that the same guy used to own both companies. USED TO. The hohm skillet is not a new item and to be sold at $7 a piece vs their orginal 49.99, screams old stock. Therefore probably left over from the previous owners arrangements.
