I'm in the same boat mate. There's this huge void, that is the 133-150w two 18650s, in the market just waiting to be abused.

How is it that these suppliers can get the Lavabox DNA 75 earlier than a lot of US vendors?

i believe hcigar did release a vt133...but design wise its fugly...

You are being a very sensible and thrifty vaper. Kudos to you!! We should always make a budget that is comfortably within our means, and stick to it the best we can. We also have to think about value for money, and the utility of the things we buy.

Under normal circumstances I would have never bought a high-end mod. Till today I have had 4 mods which died/giving me problems (eg random self-firing, sticky 510 connects etc). They were all budget devices. After I saw the Triade and fell in vapelust, I forced myself to walk away from the shop. Sat down at my usual chicken rice stall in SS15 for a long time, thinking....to buy it or go for yet another budget mod.

After finishing my chicken rice lunch, I whatsapped an old vaping buddy and sought his opinion. He asked me a few pointed questions: could I afford it? Yes. Isn't it better to have one quality device than to keep buying cheaper mods again and again only to have them fail or cause problems? Yes.

He then reminded me that the DNA200 has a fuse on the board as a measure of safety, and that not all DNA200 devices are equal. Sometimes the things we cannot easily see (wire gauges and wiring/soldering quality, 510 connects quality) can make a big difference. I then mentioned the Wismec Reuleaux which was cheaper, and he told me to rewatch DJLSB's review on it and take note of the part where Daniel wished it had thicker gauge wiring. I did so, and also ran a search on "Lost Vape quality". All that pushed me over the edge...I walked back to the shop and bought it. Till now I have no regrets. This mod will not be a carry-around...it'll remain at home and be only for my personal vaping pleasure. This is my first high-end vape device, and hopefully it will last a long time.

I believe Eiraku is making a good decision in getting a HCigar VT133...maybe u could consider that mod? VE is selling it, and if u have a Friends of VE card, I believe u can get 10% off.

Erm...maybe I should say this in case u didn't know....the chip inside a VT133 is an Evolv DNA200, but running on two 18650 batteries. So u get to play with escribe and tweak to your satisfaction.

As the DNA200 was originally designed to run at 200W on 3 x 3000mAh lipo packs bucking, running it on two 18650's brings down the max wattage output to 133, hence HCigar's brand name of VT133. Think of the DNA200 as being throttled down to 133W. It is possible for other mods to reach 200W on two 18650's but from what I read in the Evolv forum, the engineers did not want to do that in the interests of safety.

And yes...you hit the keyword..SMOOTH! That was what made my jaw drop when I first took a few puffs on the Triade 

If you're in KLIA2, u could snag one of these hats along with a goodie bag for answering a simple question...it'll matchy matchy yr new mod, which matches my camera, phone and tablet cover, adidas shoes n laces...all black n orange 
Bought a few more LG HG2's from AlexNg today...his insulators have always been matte. Crius Plus should hopefully arrive on tue/wed...think it'll look decent on the Triade.

Pizza inside this!

Aaaahh....since u see the Shopee app color as red, that explains much! It's always appeared orange to me. Remember that white dress/blue dress controversy some time back? Maybe this is in a similar vein. Our eyes and brains (and maybe graphic cards/monitors too) obviously have different interpretations....but if to mod is red to you, then it's red. You're the one looking at it every time u use it, not me BTW, u may wanna check out http://zapwrapz.co.uk/products/vt133 It's a tad pricey, but they make 3D texture CF wraps in a brilliant Ferrari-esque orange (kidding...it's red).

I'm gonna finish absorbing the PBusardo vids on the DNA200 before venturing into serious escribe tweaking. Yes there's much to mess with in the software.

A little heads-up. Today is the final day for free shipping in Shopee. And just now I remembered I still don't have a throwaway beater mod to take into the jungle...been too preoccupied with higher end stuff. No way the Triade is going on a bouncy muddy 4WD expedition    Found a Cloupor GT for RM45. If anyone wants an el-cheapo rough use mod, head over to Vapelahbro's shop. I decided against going back to mech mods...prefer a smoother gentler mouthful of vapor these days.

Oh, my Black TFV8 on its way.

Bought from fasttech. There is no ter-buy. lol

Cant wait to chug clouds at 200-250W.

ya man, as tasteless as possible.

yes Nic.

Yo, you could do a colored screen mod while all you mod innards are out, just cut and position an piece of transparent sheet (color of your choice) and boom, u got an easy and cool looking screen

No confidence with Kangertech products after this review.

eiraku Did u test a few drops of your most acidic juice on both sides of the vinyl to see if there's a reaction?

OK. Good to know. Would tearing down the mod void the warranty (if any)?

Recently bought a kangertech pro tank 4. Any recommend for mod?

Price below rm500, battery life of at least last me a day(Vape 10ml per day; 5ml daytime 5mk night), usually Vape at below 20watt, compact as possible.

Thanks!!

Eiraku Well, I'll try to help him. Therion is going for RM439 at Shopee, but as suggested in an earlier post by waqi953, the HCigar VT75 nano seems to be good for ikki, IF he/she can tahan the fiddly battery cover. It's a single 18650 battery mod with a quality DNA75 chip, very compact and should be arriving in our country some time this month. At USD99, I'd rather go for a dual battery Lost Vapes Therion...minimal price difference.

But since ikki wants it as compact as possible, here's the VT75 nano review by my fellow clansman:

Not kaya la. Cannot control myself. Haha. Gonna stop as soon i decided which tank to buy, then I'm done for sure. 😁

  If u wanna compare power, the TFV8 was outclassed even before it was released. U forget the Tornado is rated to 300W
And raw power is not the only facet of vaping....there's flavor too!
