Yup...yr mod has respectable battery life...such is the advantage of dual 18650's. I didn't do any calculations, but believe that 2 cells at 70W would benefit from the more efficient buck conversion, and 1 cell (VT75 nano) would be boosting all the time, which is less efficient. Maybe some electronics boffin can clarify that.

Now my poor tired brain is thinking again....single cell slimness or dual cell longevity....more weight and bulk vs ultimate portability. Time to switch off pc and go run 5 or 6km.

BTW, while running, bring your phone along lol... Them Kemons aren't gonna catch themselves now lol. We still have to catch them all... ourselves.

Imagine if you will, biting into a hand-sized mini apple pie (or any other bakery item) that got out from the oven 30-45min ago. You bite into the the crust...a rather warm gush of aromatic crust and pie filling hits your senses. With the crust broken, the pie starts to cools faster. Makes me wish there was a chicken pie ejuice  biggrin.gif

Cuttwood Bird Brains taste like Chicken Satay without minyak kunyit to me. Maybe can start from there.

My old fone doesn't even have 4G...but does have one game installed (and I can't remember the name!). I'd be more wary of pilaks catching me, which is why I changed my route to a place further inland tongue.gif

And it feels way better to hit the runner's wall and feel the rush than to be sitting pc going bangwall.gif therion bangwall.gif nano bangwall.gif therion
I did approx 4km at optimal cadence, approx 2km mixed cadence and it sure cleared my mind...I know now which mod to get smile.gif

So? Leather? Metal?

BTW, LV has that Efusion Duo filling up 133W duties (with the double 18650 sled) so I don't think they consider that they have a hole in their 133W lineup. So that 133W Therion might not happen anytime soon methinks.

Probably anyway. Mod makers are churning so much things out in time for 8/8 that everything is getting a bit... beyond sane lol. I mean, just look at Kanger... they're churning vomitting out so much stuff it's hilarious.

Eiraku Yes u r prolly right. Efusion fills the 133W gap for LV and that's not gonna change soon...
To answer u and waqi953, I had decided on metal....but about 2 hrs ago, a vape buddy told me to look at the 3rd minute of this video....the VT75 nano may have a flaw in accuracy. It may be just a minor acceptable flaw...or it may not be acceptable, esp for a device at such a premium price. I could be going back to square one, dammit!

Well, there's always the Vabox Mini.

Anyway, cheap(-ish) backup high wattage device secured:

I'm DONE! Well... at least until DNA starts shipping BT app control mods lol.

And yeah, gonna use it in 2-batt mode to backup the VT133. Still no need for anything above 120-130 so far... but the option is now there (transformers!) even though it's *just* the shifty JT chip.

Yes. The Lavabox M. Almost buy one yesterday and sell my VT75 but by the look of it, doesn't feel solid in the hand. Maybe need to try one at the store. Well, better for me to save for DNA200 mod next time if I feel like to go over 100 watts. Fell in love with DNA chips

I like the idea of RX2/3. For the price point and the option. I think it's a good buy. 😁

Got slightly cheaper than "online" prices for the RX23 so not complaining. Didn't get the hot Black/Red one though.

As for quality and performance, after the Pico and the VTC, you can pretty much guess what you're gonna get already lol. The tight door "latches" are a source of concern though... thankfully the door side is machined out of the metal door itself, but the mod side not so sure.

And not completely confident I'll be able to disassemble one of these also lol... looks plenty complicated at first glance. Will still be putting it into the review queue though.

Also, it's got a pretty weird shape in 2-batt mode. Very compact for what it is, but still a tad... irregular to grip.

Even thought it's *just* a Joyetech chip, it should do a decent job reliably. Over time u'll probably get accustomed to gripping the mod in 2 batt mode. Have they used a better 510 connect this time?

Hmmm....if you're gonna sell the VT75, please do PM me with pix n price. A Triade would look very nice indeed aside your Therion brows.gif

Update on Crius Plus:

There is a rather high hill which I often drive up and down. Am unsure of the elevation, but my ears will pop twice when passing thru that long stretch of road. Previously any atty I had with me no matter how well-wicked (without getting dry hits), AFC closed, JFC (if available) closed would leak at least a few drops or have a torrential flood. The only way around that was for me to chain-vape while driving there, or approach when the atty was empty.

The Crius Plus with top and bottom AFC open, JFC fully closed did not leak one single drop despite the change in air pressure. This is a testimony to the tight machining tolerances of the atty. OBS really did a good job this time.

Yeah, triade would be nice but my no no-ing is strong. (At least for now tongue.gif ) If decided want to sell my VT75, you will be the first I contact. By the looks of the Lavabox M, I doubt will have the solid feel like the VT75. Just wait for my Nano, see i want sell it or not. biggrin.gif

Wow, OBS did a very good job there. The price at shopee also very tempting. hmm.gif

Yeah its actually firing better than the VTC, even in TC... buuuut I'm thinking that being a 2-cell device it's bucking at my current settings rather than boosting (as it does on a single-cell mod).

And yeah, you get used to gripping it. It just feels like a lighter, much more angular and less boxy Cuboid.

As for the 510... nope. Pretty much the same 510 on my VTC (nice try with the BS Wismec), but so far I got lucky with both the VTC AND the RX23 - I got them with well sorted 510s out of the box (well centered and flat). Hence I haven't had much trouble with both, at least not with my current crop of atties... though being as limited travel as they are...

I don't have issues with the Pico either, but the 510 on that is built slightly more sturdy to begin with, strangely enough.

drool.gif drool.gif your best-looking mod is in the center of the photo!!

And u know how to care for your devices too because they look absolutely pristine thumbup.gif I've seen 2 day-old mods owned by friends...scratches here and there, 510 sticky with juice already....even tho they were budget mods, I sedih to see that.

I am taking PBusardo's measurements of wattage deviation with a pinch of salt. There could be other reasons why the VT75 nano under-performed. Perhaps detailed reviews by others may show different results, and help us make better-informed decisions. Jaihaze put a Tornado on his nano...and while it appeared to be a bit top-heavy, it still looked decent and seemed to perform well. That's a plus for me. smile.gif However the VT75 has sufficient top space to properly accommodate 25 and 30mm attys as well...so that's something for me to consider seriously. It's lower price tag is a bonus!

Yeah it's prolly bucking that makes for a smoother vape....another consideration for me when choosing the next DNA mod rclxub.gif

Got several mods which need new 510's...will try doing minor surgery one of these days...but press-fitted 510's are a PITA. Such are the perils and pitfalls of vaping. Pico's 510 has a longer throw than the VTC and RX, and work decently till now for me.

Thanks. I wipe my mod and tank everytime I saw juice dropping and check the 510 everytime I want to refill. Went put in the bag, I put in different compartment, isolated from other things.

Anyway, just got a great news an hour ago. My black VT75Nano already arrived! Yeayy. Will receive on Tuesday latest. Can't wait for it! Unfortunately, no tank for the Nano and VT75 yet. Need to wait till end of the month. Too much spend already in a month.

Yes it's a very good practice to check for stray drops of juice and condensation. I carry a damp cloth in plastic bag in my fanny pouch for wiping purposes when on the road. Just finished dismantling my old IPV 4S to check the inside and wipe the screen...it looks brand new again smile.gif. Also checked the grommet and solder points...all ok. The 4S is one of the easiest mods to take apart...just 2 allen head screws and the cover pops off to reveal all.

Congrats! You'll have a nice new device next week. Try it out with one of yr current attys laa, and let us know how the buttons feel along with the operation of the battery cover. And most importantly, does the vape feel about the same as your other DNA75 devices at higher wattages (eg 60 or 70W). I think u have to accept the title of DNA75 Sifu of /k now, because you're in the best position to inform us biggrin.gif

It's good to be disciplined and stick to your budget. Additional vape gear is not a necessity, and this regime will serve u well. I must remember it myself, when the cloud of vapelust comes over me biggrin.gif and maybe atty prices will drop further next month in this very-flooded market.
