The wood is not really my thing either and I think the pics of the J mod are a bit I don't know boxy but this board will be found in many mods shortly.

That J mod might not even be a bf but every other mod they have is I believe so I assumed it was but the 510 does not look like a bf.
Roger that, I'm figuring I'm about 60-90 days and they'll be easy to find stateside.

Wonder if this means I should grab crow to eat on the way home

After watching Part 1 of the video, hopefully the ECF forum goes up soon so we can make sure Dr. G is ok over there.

On that note, sort of got a kick out of seeing an email pop up from Vaporshark today announcing they now had the SX Mini M Class available. Almost came across as...idk...like the wave of a white flag ;)

I am printing your post, fraiming it and hanging it on the wall.

That dude wins the assclown of the year award!

Agreed with VS, guess we know who won the board wars

I'm not sure which one but either he or I live in different reality.

Go check his "independent" review of the 350j chip on the other side.

Different reality? You surely mean alternate universes... :D

He was probably sitting in his drawers, eating peanut butter out the jar with his hand, hitting refresh every 3 seconds waiting for it to go live....one thing comes to mind.

You know, mine came out the box, I had a build in an atty ready to go and I was off.... Still waiting for my first 'issue'
99% of those issues they are having are from either everyone thinking one idiot knows everything and listening to him, rather than figuring it our or listening to the people that actually do know so we don't feel the need to scream.
The rest are people focused on a new word not the numbers.

The first thing I do when my transmission goes out is get an oil change because that'll fix it. Same crap happened with the dna40... 15 people had a wonky screen in that thread so all of a sudden tc didn't work for anyone.
Granted that board is a little wonky and there things I don't like but its not bad, just finicky.

since I lurkalot here is my post..
mine arrived april 4... I bought this setup sxmini and goblin rta as a solution to my problem of breaking ego type batteries and a various assortment of tanks. it has preformed flawlessly for me even after several run ins with the concrete and exposure to various conditions mostly those found on construction sites also various refrigeration oils my hands might get exposed too. if you treat yous like a Ferrari mine gets treated like I stole it... but in reality I pre ordered mine from varitube and they were good at getting it to me quickly I registered mine 6 days after it left the factory. for whatever its worth I would recommended it...

I wish some company would come up with a different battery cap to add on the Sx mini. It's my biggest complaint about it. It's a PITA to get off and getting on is even worse. Someone has to be able to come up with an after market knurled cap

Well, i wouldn't hold your breathe waiting for him to answer Vlad's request to post the details of his supposed "testing". I'd guess that chip has never spent a moment's time in Dr. G's hands lol.

On a side note this whole joules counter thingy has given me new appreciation of just how good those legit Sony VTC5s really were. 10 months old and still pretty much on par, at least by that count, with what i'm getting out of my brand new Samsungs. Around 17k each time...granted i tend to roughly pull all my batts out once the bar starts dipping under the half way point on any device.

Yeah, I'm missing my vtc5s, I stick with vtc4s, he2s,4s and 25Rs. The lgs and samsungs seem to perform identically and they're fine in a regulated mod. But the vtc4s are a real jump ahead in mechanicals, at least from what getting vape wise. I hear allot of talk one the subohm cells and vamped batteries; but, i have reservations on trusting any battery sold as, "designed specifically for vaping." Just sounds to much like gimmick or someone in moms basement with a hair dryer rewrapping, recycled ultrafires. Lol
Until i hear or see something concrete on a new cell, ill stick with what i know is working.
As to the doc, I blocked him..

Its got nothing to do with what he does, its the conviction of having all the answers with no proof or ability to back them up.
Words have meanings, hence I stick with "my theory", "I think" or offer a full disclosure of I don't know but this is what I think is up....
When I'm wrong I want to be told why and have it explained, but not like I'm a 2 year old,
He's on mt top5 list of people of like to see an Ebola vaccine tested on though

Oh don't tell me he wrote a "independent" review? Do I need to take him off ignore to find this or is it an external site? I'd be really interested in any objective data he's provided.

Yea my 1 yr old VTC5's I just tested today came in at around 18500j with 300+ charge cycles and my brand new 25R's I'm only getting about 17500j. I see some VTC5's on Amazon but afraid they're fakes.

I think it's ridiculous a Volkswagen seller reviewing a BMW no matter how hard he tries. Only an idiot will believe anything he has to say. He's part of my 3 person ignore list now. I'm happier.

That is really a nice feature they added. Over time the folks that persistently submit their opinions as facts and not substantiate any of it or make half truth statements will be ignored by the vast majority of the forum users. At which point they'll be in their little circle wanking back and forth with each other not knowing everyone else has them on Ignore. :)

Naa. He didn't say independent although his review tried to sound like he was but he also refused to confirm he was an Evolv paid bitch when I replied he should inform the readers that he had affiliation with a concurrent company.

He's on my ignore list now together with his other best half and I'm waiting for their breed to show his face so I can ignore him too. I don't want to bother looking his username up just to ignore him. :)

Gotcha, But I didn't see anything in that other than. Device is flawed xyz, Device is flawed xyz, User error, User doesn't understand, User may make the mistake etc.. etc.. I didn't see anything of value or objective if your talking about what was in the technology thread that I'm thinking of. At any rate I guess no reason to take him off ignore :)

Well he's the sole occupant of my ignore list at the moment. There's another that's close but I'm trying to show some State love since he's from my home State of Ok.

Yep, my guess is they would be fakes. Vapers and flashlight freaks are hoarding the real ones. I know my stash of 15 will last a while. Got 10 in the freezer chillin til I need em.

Mine are treasured as well. I am still kicking myself for a Shark I sold off a couple months ago and said I would include a he2 and accidentally sent it off with a vtc5 in it lol.
Sad and petty I know but that's how I am sometimes lol.

He's a beta testers for them so basically a very cheap employee.
After the dna40 fiasco, I'm thinking their customer base are the beta testers-including myself but I gave them money

They cold have saved themselves a lot of trouble and just made the chip with upgradable firmware.

Vaporshark is upgrading my RdNA40 to the new chip that has the atty lock feature, but now I'm without my device for about a week.

Are they charging you?
A buddy of mine got the run around when he called and asked about that and I have two of them at OCD right now that I want swapped out or I'm selling them. Not real happy with the way they are screwing my buddy over between he and I; we've bought 12 sharks since the dna40 release.

No they didn't charge me. Even sent me a free shipping label.

I just wish they would put that feature on the small screen one. I think that's my biggest complaint with the dna40 chip. A lot of my problems of getting weak vapes has to do with the refinement and it thinking that the coil has a different resistance than it actually does.

Kinda pissed hat I have a 4 week old Hana v4d and right after I bought it, they started putting the larger screens in some of their devices. I would have bought one of those instead.

BTW, I love that Dr G is saying that the atty lock feature on the sx was a mistake and done to cover up all the flaws with the device. If that's the case, why has evolve added it

Ohhh that's the deal you have to have the geritol screen... Sucks for me since i jumped on the preorder and honestly hate the large screen. I don't need the blind lady across the street looking at my mod, if she were at least cute maybe.

Lol. I actually like the bigger screen, but I'm old. But yeah, evolve only added that feature to the larger screen, so Hana and VF users are screwed.

That's why I say if they would have made the chip upgradable, people would be more loyal. Look at the smok m80 users. The device sucks, but people are happy they can keep upgrading the chip to fix the bugs.

The upgrade feature was a big selling point for me with the sx, that's why I bought it.

I guess I'll just save my Hana and when evolve comes out with the next chip, I'll swap it out myself.

Poster child for troll spray.

Here's what he said:
"Actually the SXJ deals with shaky builds somewhat better than the DNA, it is far less ... demanding in what it does. I honestly dont think this is by design, i think it's a byproduct of its less-than-accurate operation.

The transmission analogy doesn't hold up. With a manual transmission there is a meaningful amount of control over gear selection and powertrain engagement and disengagement. With the manual calibration there is no such meaningful control, all it is is an inconvenience and a place where inaccuracy and errors are introduced.

I'm trying to think of a good analogy but coming up blank right now. I was thinking like, black powder vs cartridges, but eh. Not great.

The calibration method of the SXJ is IMO a design error. It actually smacks of afterthought or bodge. I wouldn't doubt that yihi's first attempts at tc resembled the smok m80. there is still a hint of familiarity between the two experiences."

The next evolv chip is rumored to be 50w and a set it and forget it temp limiting.
After the great dna40 fiasco of 2015 evolv is going to have to do more before they see another dollar from me. I may see if there's a way to slip a yihi board in my shark when they get back, unless I can convince the shark people to swap out the board.

Apparently he thinks that words with more than 3 letters makes him look smart.
Sad part is alot of inexperienced vapors or people that don't understand technology see "dr" and big words and don't realize he's an idiot until someone like me or another guy(wont name anyone else) put him in his place.
Look back in that thread, I mentioned the concept I thought but couldn't prove, and he kept bugging me to say it.
I didn't know if I was right, I had no numbers and I didn't want a noob or curious person to get the wrong impression of a mod. (at least not because of something my name was attached to) dude got all verbal and tried to call me out. All he did was make himself look like the ass he is.

Sorry but I wont put a definite by something until I am sure without a doubt.
