NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE VAPEDROID C1H2 – 7/20/16
I met the guy behind VapeDroid at the London event. Nice guy.
Here’s his new offering, the VapeDroid C1H2, designed in Germany and manufactured by S-Body in China. This one is going to be similar to the Vape-Forward Stout, but with a magnetic battery door holding a 26650 and no 18650 conversion tube.
It has a nice rubberized grip and is powered by S-Body electronics.
Here’s some additional information for you:
VapeDroid C1H2 is the first true crossover mod from the High-End scene to the mainstream market. It comes after years of development of the VapeDroid concept and designs using cutting edge technologies, German engineering and materials that were 100% unique to the VapeDroid brand, with market testing taking place in the highly critical high-end scene. All of this has been distilled into this latest product which embodies the design principles that made VapeDroid so beloved by its customer base, and is finally provided at an affordable price point thanks to my partners at S-Body who have worked with me to bring the price right down without compromising on design principles or quality of the end product. Previous mods which I made by hand sold at RRP’s up to €500, whereas this mod is under the $100 price point.
VapeDroid C1H2 is unique in being the only ‘singular design’ mod available. This means that every single component was designed as a proprietary part for this mod alone, including the chip whose board design and layout were developed specifically in tandem with the design specifications of the mod. As a modder who takes great pride in his work, I knew that attention to every detail would be the key to making my mod stand out, and I believe I’ve achieved that with the C1H2. Whereas previous mods were slightly compromised due to the need to design around 3rd party chips (evolv and YiHi), as well as other 3rd party components, this mod was made with zero compromises, ensuring a mod that lives up to its brief, with maximum efficiency in its use of space providing a class-leading mod in terms of compactness, ergonomics and usability.
If I could describe the VapeDroid design concept in one word, it would be UTILITARIAN. As a big fan of Star Wars, I set out to make a series of mods good enough for a Jedi… mods that are made to be used, not pampered. (Side note: Out of respect for Lucasfilm intellectual property, I will never use Star Wars related characters or other intellectual property, unlike other mods out there. Every element of the VapeDroid brand was designed from a blank sheet of paper and is 100% original)
In response to several difficulties that came up over the past few years using Evolv and YiHi chipsets, I decided to work in partnership to commission an original chipset for this mod. The HyperDrive chipset was designed to be reliable and accurate, with a simple and easy to navigate interface. Whilst lacking in advanced features such as upgradeable firmware, it makes up for it by increased reliability due to its simplicity, as well as covering the basics in terms of smooth power delivery and support for temperature control.
Details:
- Body: Zinc Alloy
- 510: Stainless Steel
- 510 Pin: Copper
- 510 Pin Threading: PEEK
- Switches: Stainless Steel
- Finish: Soft-touch rubberised finish
HyperDrive chipset:

- Titanium – 0.1-0.8
- SS316 – 0.2-0.75
- Temperature Range: 100-300°C / 210-570°

NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE ARYMI GILLE TANK – 7/20/16
The Arymi name has been around for some time. I remember receiving a mechanical device from them a while back that I never had a chance to look at. They have a new tank out called the Gille, but now it appears that Arymi is under the Kanger umbrella with a relationship similar to that of Joyetech and Eleaf.
This is going to be a DL only tank with no airflow control to restrict airflow. The coil is an interesting one. Called the EOCC, It’s designed so that you can either replace the entire thing or JUST the cotton. Also looks similar to a notch coil toward the top.
I measured the resistance of one of the coils and it came out to .24 ohms.
Here’s a video showing you the pieces and parts and some photos of the one I received:
CONGRATS JACKY!!
Congratulations to Jacky for winning one of the Kanger Dripbox 160s! He claims that he is now a “happy wiener” 🙂
This photo comes to you all the way from Belgium! 🙂
TASTE YOUR JUICE WELCOMES THE VAPING POST TO THE VAPING AND THR ADVOCACY AND ACTIVISM SECTION
I was reading a couple impressive articles on The Vaping Post the other day. I later found out that Ghyslain Armand is behind the site.
I met Ghyslain a couple years ago at a Paris expo and you met him about 5 months ago in one of my videos when he discussed the documentary “Beyond The Cloud” which I’m thrilled to be attending the premiere of in Paris…
The Video:
I’ve always been impressed by with Ghyslain and I’m equally impressed by this site which I’m happy to add. This is the first European site being added to the section. Welcome!!
Here’s some additional information from Ghyslain…
The Vaping Post is a Geneva based company that produces international news about vaping. Initially, the website was only written in French, under the previous domain name Ma-cigarette.fr. We dropped that domain and decided to open our editorial flow to other languages with a special focus on English and gather all other languages under this new entity. We noticed there was a lot of information about vaping on the internet, but everything was split by countries. We noticed many times that many Americans didn’t know how the european Tobacco Product Directive (TPD) was getting implemented accros Europe, like many Europeans didn’t know what was going on with the FDA in USA. Even if countries have their own political specifications and culture, there are many overlapping themes around the globe when it comes to vaping, and we thought it could be interesting to cover that topic internationally.
Our goal is to bring our readers unbiased information about vaping from many angles such as politics, science, society, community and even some reviews. If most of us are vapers we don’t consider ourself as true advocates, we tend more to gather facts and give them a particular light by adding our own culture, vision and crossing different points of views. Like any news site, the Vaping Post relies on advertising revenues but I think it’s important to mention we’re not related to any trade sale, manufacture or distribution of vaping related products. We launched this online newspaper earlier this year and do our best to improve our content since then. If a publisher would like to support our work by advertising with us, he’s more than welcome to contact us. We definitely need financial help to keep informing people.

NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE JOYETECH ULTIMO TANK – 7/12/16
Joyetech has a new DL only tank coming your way… the Ultimo.

It comes with a Ceramic-0.5ohm head, Clapton-0.5ohm, and a QCS-0.25ohm head.
The QCS (Quick Change System) head allows you to change the cotton on it, so I guess it’s a bit of a “partial” RBA head. A full RBA head is also available for the tank.
The QCS head also has a notch coil with a massive diameter.
Here’s some more from Joyetech:
ULTIMO atomizer adopts new top filling system and improved adjustable airflow control.

NEW IN THE QUEUE – SOME NEW PRODUCT FROM ATOM VAPES – 7/9/16
SOME NEW PRODUCT FROM ATOM VAPES
Got some new product in from Atom Vapes.
First the Metropolis Tank. When they first contacted me on this, it was supposed to be an extremely inexpensive tank in the $10 range, but it’s showing up on their website for $21.99 and $19.99. Hmmm.
I do kinda like the looks of this one. Here’s some more info from their site:
Designed based on the 1920’s Art Deco movement. The Metropolis Tank uses the simplicity of art deco lines, luxurious 24ct gold plated components and powered by Atom gClapton coils. It delivers an amazing vape, all day, every day. Unlike other metal tanks, the Metropolis feature a Pyrex chassis with gold plated components accentuating the true natural flavor of liquids. It’s a true flavor tank.
Whats Inside:
- 1 x Metropolis Tank
- 1 x gClapton Kanger Coil (0.5Ω 25-45w)
- 1x User Manual
Compatible with our gClapton Kanger coils
Next is the Yakuza 70W Box Mod. I appreciate the 70W rating on a single 18650 battery mod which sounds more realistic. This one was handed to me in Chicago (I think 🙂 ). First thing I noticed was an interface that didn’t look like everything else which I always commend. Perhaps it’s worth a look when I can get to it.
Here’s some additional information from their site (which isn’t a lot BTW):
Compressed to be as small as possible, with a design that captures the very essence of creativity. It’s rugged look and soft textures feel solid in the palm of your hands. An easy to use interface with a three click mechanism for changing modes and an enhanced chipset with one of a kind Ceramic Mode feature for new lines of coils. Super powered 18650 Capacity with the first box mod ever to have both Android and Apple lightning charging ports, offering you the convenience to charge anywhere in an hour with a 3A charger.
