Who tried the snow wolf 200w temp cont. ?

[TwistedWires]

store up the road has one for 140. i noticed it takes standard 18650's. what would be the most powerful 18650's to get to utilize that 200w capability?

how user friendly is it, buttons function well?
good construction, not ganna shatter if i accidentally drop it?
temp control function well?
it says it supports kanthal also .05-2.5 ohm. how well does it work with kanthal?
anyone drip on a temp box?
pretty much id like to know weather or not it is worth 140 cuz that 200w's does sound quite appealing^^

It's def no where near worth $140. There are many deals right now in the $93-95 range as per Vapor Joes emails.

I used it for about a month till the IPV3 Li came out. It worked great with all my builds with Nickel, Kanthal, GPlat etc.

I had an issue with mine where it would randomly turn on and off and drain battery when not in use but I don't think that's the norm or should deter you from buying one if you wanted it.

It's pretty heavy and I'm not sure how good I would feel about it holding up if you dropped it.

Honestly I think the IPV3 Li is a better option at the price point. I'm happier with it than the Snow Wolf after using the Li for some time now. Just my .02

vaping on it now with a dark horse at .09 212F at 155w pulse and a kangersubtank plus at 15 w for chain smoking cant drip everywhere lol yet to drop it i paid like 103 with 20% off on july 4th and just got it
didnt want to wait for ijoy and didnt like the ipvs not very appealing they are constantly releasing mods very close in features and the asolo by ijoy sounds tempting but i swear they keep pushing back the release date
the ipvs are good i chat with someone whose very happy with his
i bought mine online my shop had it "on sale" for 180$$ even 140s high

That is at Gearworst though. I'm sure there are other sites with $100 ish pricing.

I used 25R's, Efest, & VTC4's in it with no issues.

The lack of user firmware upgrade support if ever needed was a negative to me as well.

Once I get mine back from warranty I'll make sure it fires and loads up and sell/trade it.

I love mine but you might just consider it a 150w box, above that it pulses (PWM)
Any of the premium batteries work fine.

how user friendly is it, buttons function well?

Very user friendly.

good construction, not ganna shatter if i accidentally drop it?

Has very good build quality, but YES it will shatter if you drop it.

temp control function well?
it says it supports kanthal also .05-2.5 ohm. how well does it work with kanthal?

TC has worked very well for me (only TC box I have, so no comparision) kanthal build works great.

anyone drip on a temp box?

Yes, and you can run it dry to change flavor

I've had many TC mods and the Snow Wolf was the least accurate of all of them in my experience. Again I only had one box with some jankiness so I won't speak for all of them out there obviously. To date the Li has been far and away the most solid TC box I've personally owned. There is no pulse so it's pretty rowdy at 200w lol. If you're into that kind of thing.

The PWM (151w+) on the SW is much smoother and "cooler" for lack of a better term. It's a good box if your needs are met and you don't mind some added weight and a "5 click" box. One thing I think it has going for it is the "auto sense" of what type of build you have on it. (Ni, Ti, Kanthal, etc)

pwm after 150 makes sense. after seeing only 2 18650's i was wondering how it could achieve that wattage. the IPV3 sounded nice. i guess ill wait a while and ill just make an el cheapo unreg box with 6 batts. im going to check out the IPV3 if they come down in price a bit or if i get some extra money my way. thanks for all the help guys! saved me from spending money i shouldnt^^

They're basically chipped series boxes.
