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

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.
*
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?

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. 😁
*
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

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 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.
*

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.

Yup..VT75 nano only comes in black and red. I think Xnet is getting the normal HCigar VT75, which does have a blue-aquamarine-ish version.

Very very nice indeed...the Velocity n Therion look made for each other!

Questions:
any battery cutoff @ 70W when the batts are about 50% drained?
Tried it in single battery mode yet? If u did, how's the performance at 60-70W?

Sigh, maybe I should stop coming here.

Now I want a Therion

We all come here because we love vaping, and you shouldn't stop coming. There's a stretch along the Federal highway with high-end and exotic car dealerships. I'll never be able to part with the money for a Merc or Ferrari, but I still pop in there now and then to admire the cars...no harm in that.

Not trying to poison u, but if your budget comfortably allows, why not treat yrself to a Therion? The DNA chip gives a quality vape, that's beyond doubt....but there's another facet to vaping which gives us additional pleasure: the simple act of holding a beautiful and well-crafted mod in our hand.

If I recall correctly, it's RM439 in Shopee and the last two vape auctions saw the black model being won at RM365 and RM350(and I think I know who won that one biggrin.gif ) Do check the prices cos I sift thru many devices till I get blur and may have mixed them up.

Ya, come over to the darkside. I have 2 cuboid and ipv4s and ipvd3. This therion by far most satisfy mod I ever get. cuboid give you a little joy awhile but the firing and ramp up time is a off is not configurable and unable to advance all dependent on their firmware update and I browse through joytech firmware update list all I got is some shitty screen play update and fkin games seriously? I'm looking for a fix but there is non. Don't get me wrong is still a good mod @ 150w default and built quality with the competitive pricing but I need something more accurate, more details to able to vape correctly.
*
Ahaha now I know the reason for your penchant of black mods, Darth! I've been well into the darkside since last month with my Triade. And much like you, this mod has brought me the greatest satisfaction in vaping todate. In act it's the very first mod to make me happy looking forward to vape! Of course having a Therion to carry about would make me happier smile.gif Hmm...remember the shuttle Tydirium from Return of the Jedi? "Triade"..."Therion" seems to be the same flavor of names. Perhaps the chap who selected those names was a star wars fan.

I've always liked the Cuboid...and had it not been for that mess with Lazada, Superfast Marketing and Ninja van, I'd be owning one today. Their bumbling ineptitude and outright lies killed my mood completely. You've come up a notch now to "enthusiast vaper" level, no need for a clock or play fappy bird on a mod....the current priority is a great vape experience!

To be fair, to normal vapers them Yihi and DNA mods are exactly that: Mercs and Ferraris, in respect to how they are priced. And DNA devices do require tinkering to get the best out of it, which some users would prefer not to (or is simply unable to).

But yeah, a person needs to own (or rent) a sports car at least once in their lives. Similarly a DNA200/75 device. It's just an entirely different beast to run and tweak compared to anything else out there... ESPECIALLY if you TC.

If you don't, well... Recent Smok devices probably perform just as well in VW mode. At least in terms of pure power. And Yihi chips too... buuut mods with those are already near DNA level (and beyond) in pricing anyway.

But if you TC...  nothing probably comes even close to a well configured DNA preset.
*
Price perception is all relative...I thought I was buying the honda accord of mods in the Triade...cos the SX Mini Q class (heck even the name sounds Merc-ish) is about double in price!

This was typed as I snorked thoughtfully on my Datsun 120Y IPV4s mod.

Oh that thought definitely crossed my mind, and I saw that black model and you got the prices right.

Thing is, I've been vaping for a year now and have never tried vaping on TC, and I know that DNA chips hit the sweet spot for a lot of TC vapers.
Main reason is because my iPV D3 doesn't do SS TC, so I never bothered.
Maybe I'll tinker with TC in the future, maybe not.

I usually vape from 17W all the way up to 65W (which kills my single LG HG2 almost instantly on the D3), so dual 18650s would be hella useful moving forward.

My options now are as below:
a) Smok H-Priv + 4 Sony VTC4s for RM220 shipped from GearBest

b) Therion (~RM350) from auctions + 2 LG HG2s (RM40) from alexng

c) Wait for eVic VTC Dual

d) Get a Pico for RM100 and stick to my simple pocket friendly vaping style and build coils that fire 45W and below

While deciding and vaping on my dying iPV D3, I'm also waiting to see all the mods manufacturers are squeezing out their supply chain before the end of 8/8.
My my.. It looks classy af with the goon.

Previously I never bothered with TC too, I just wanted to vape simply. Not so anymore...am luvin the more consistent and smooth vape that TC gives me.

However if you have no intent to do TC, then maybe a DNA device may not be worth it for you. There are many other mods out there which would give u far better value for money on normal Wattage mode than a Lost Vapes device.

With that having been said, even on power mode and totally untweaked, the DNA is giving me a smoother vape than all my other mods. No harshness at the end of long pulls or "juddering" and wavering of flavor quality as I mentioned in a past post. And then there's the quality build as well as aesthetics of a higher-end mod to consider. We all have different priorities, needs and wants....hopefully you'll slowly be able to find a worthy replacement for yr D3.

I don't consider TC much previously since I'm using kanthal clapton but the chip provided TSC, damn man now my configuration is even better than just regular wattage mode.  Well You can say is a Kanthal in TC though.

Aaah did u mean the CSV, like the one waqi953 was kind enough to share with us? If so, I bet you must be luvin it!!

Kanthal claptons in a quasi-TC mode is very decent indeed. Care to kick it up a notch with a "cleaner" and "brighter" taste? brows.gif
