Okay, so Ive had the Wismec Theorem for a few days now, and used it extensively with different coils and settings. My initial review was largely positive, but after using it non stop, here are some of the pro's and con's I think people should be made aware of.
Keep in mind my style of vape is for the most part above 45 watts, and prefer kanthol wire; I also never enjoyed temp control, having used nickel, titanium and SS in the past.
Con's: The notch coil is hugely dissapointing. If you take too long of a drag, and you get dry/burn hits and they are among the nastiest. I initially tried it on a IPVd2, and due to the step down issue, I used it in Joules mode as suggested on this forum to by pass that glitch as a workaround.
I put in in SS Ni and Ti mode at max temp 570 F i believe, and had my joules between 20-40, and the it was great until the unpredicatble dry hits happened. I inspected the notch coil closer, and determined that maybe one of the leads wasn't making proper contact or slightly warped, so I put in the brand new spare notch coil.
Same result, anything above 25 joules at max temp still resulted in dry hits if you take drags longer than a few seconds.
So I took it off, figuring the IPVd2 wasn't really compatible with this tank, and used in on my Smok Cube Mini, and ran it first in temp control, SS mode single coil. I played with the temp from 300 F-max, and again the notch coil gave the dry hits!
On reddit, it looks like MANY people are also getting these dry hits using various methods. So either some of the notch coils are defective, or are only sufficient for those who vape at lower wattages and temps.
I vape straight to lung with long deep inhales until my chest cavity is full of vape. Looks like the notch coil isnt meant for that type of vaping, imo at higher wattages.
Pro's: I ditched the notch coil completely and put in dual vertical claptons, 32/26ga. I have it set at 60 Watts, .37 ohms with power level normal. I'm using the rare Hydrid Creations "Mahalo" ejuice (peanut butter/roasted marshmallow) @6mg Nic, created by the innovative gourmet ejuice alchemist, Chris Ort here locally in Southern California.
Now we're talking! Ramp up time is excellent, it brought out a note/flavor in the juice I hadnt been able to detect for a few years, and was just the right setting for me.
The air flow ring deal is a bit convoluted, but kind of cool I guess for innovation. As long as you grab onto the glass to detatch the top, it comes off and goes it with just enough resistance to let you know its perfectly secure.
Only thing I can say is that though you should screw the tank into the mod relatively snug, over tightening it makes it difficult to unscrew since you need to use the glass as leverage and I can easily see how it can break. But if your tank is empty, you can just remove the glass and use the posts as leverage to remove it.
Overall, its a cool vape product, but what my final verdict compared to the Avocado?
I hate to say it, but since I only got the Avocado to tide me over until the Theorem arrived, I cant help but admit that the Avocado is a better tank all around. I cant quite put my finger on it; maybe its because I get more of an impact with the Avocado wide boar drip tip, but the flavor and vape quality is just better, and not by a narrow margin.
The Theorem may be the coolest looking tank I have ever owned, and it's sleekness and beautifully designed appearance will probably go unmatched for awhile.
I will still use it because of it's "newness" and my love of all things new and gadgety. But overall it did not live up to the hype, but still my second favorite tank aside from the Avocado.
If I lost it today, would I buy it tomorrow? I can certainly live without it, but I am a huge fan/enthusiast and collector, so I would get it again jus to have it. I also have a Vicious Ant AX1 RDA clone which I have only used once that I simply bought based on its sleek futuristic look.
