Hello all,I recently traded my Hohm Slice for a VF Stout and received it today. The Slice is a very cool mod and extremely innovative but it just was not for me. The main thing was, it just didn't feel comfortable in my hand was large in all the wrong ways.
Right off the bat I was impressed by the Stouts size, shape and appearance. It's much smaller than you would imagine a 26650 mod would be but a touch heavy. The build quality feels and looks of high quality and all the pertinent areas seem solid and reinforced. The battery door seems like it will hold up over time and the 510 is smooth and everything has screwed down so far. There is some play with buttons (my biggest gripe with the mod) but they are clickey and easy to find.
I've mainly been using the mod with one of my Tsunami's with stainless duel fused claptons in TC mod and so far it's working great. At 60watts, 420 degrees I get a smooth, warm and consistent vape. Other than driving, when use a tank and normally on the RX200, I've used the stout all day on the above settings. Although I don't know what the standard is, the battery life seems to be good and a single 26650 (purple efest) gave me about 7.5 hours of vaping. When I put the battery on the charger it read 3.43v; not sure if that is being efficient. I tried the single 18650 sleeve out and much to my surprise there was hardly any rattle.
Over all I really like and considering the increased battery life, it will probably replace my Evic VTC mini in the daily line up. Tomorrow the wife and I are going hiking and then canoeing so it will be a good day to put it through some more paces. I posted some pics below comparing it to a couple of the Stouts sister mods.
Oh, quick question... Do I need to lock the resistance in TC mode? I recently found out I don't need to on the Evic and was wondering if it's the same for the stout.... Thanks.
