NEW IN THE QUEUE – 12/29/14 – THE HCIGAR HB50

THE HCIGAR HB50

They’re coming in hot and heavy folks. I’m going to do my best to keep up!

Features:

  • 7-50 watts
  • Spring loaded 510 pin
  • On board charger
  • LED charge indicator
  • Yihi SX300 board (Upgraded for 50 Watts)
  • Adjustments via gravity sensor (tilting)
  • Fires down to .3 ohms

For the price, I’m impressed with how this one looks and feels.

My initial thumbs down without firing it??

  1. A magnetic battery door to make the screws optional.
  2. Faster adjustments… although there is a two step accelerator, it still takes a while to go from it’s lowest to highest setting and vice versa.
  3. The inner ring of the 510 connection is once again slightly raised from the outer ring creating a tiny gap.   Since the entire plate is raised slightly from the device, an opportunity has been missed.  Lower the inner ring to the same height as the outer and give the outer ring air channels as well.  Now you can flush mount on a solid base and still get air if needed.

A Vapor Shark rDNA40 is shown as a size comparison.
