NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE SENSE HERAKLES HYDRA – 8/20/15

THE SENSE HERAKLES HYDRA

Could it be?  Not another sub-ohm tank?  I think so!

This one brought to you by the folks who brought you the Herakles… Sense.

It’s a simple top fill tank that comes with a 1.8 ohm kanthal and a .2 ohm NI200 TC head.   Kinda an odd diameter at 20mm and holds 2ml of liquid.  Also features a 3 position air-flow control ring.

Not a fan of the wide bore tip on this tank.  I think they missed the mark a little on that gearing it more towards a sub-ohm styled tank.

I’m going to give this one a shot as I know many people have been asking me about new mouth to lung tanks, this appears to be one.

Product Specifications:

  • 20mm Diameter
  • 2mL Tank Capacity
  • Stainless Steel and Glass Construction
  • Dual Slot Screw Off Top Fill Method
  • Fully Adjustable Dual Airflow Control
  • Copper 510 Connector
  • Widebore Stainless Steel and Stealth Delrin Drip Tip
  • Available in Black, Stainless Steel, and Red Accents

TAKE A LOOK – THE PHANTOM SUB-OHM TANK BY HORIZON

THE PHANTOM SUB-OHM TANK BY HORIZON

Oh Boy!  Another one!  This one from the folks who bought you the Arctic.

The cuts in this one make it as rough on your hands as it is on the eyes, IMHO of course.

Now I’m not sure who bit who, but this one looks very similar to the Triton.  Similar SS coil heads and a virtually identical RBA section (right down to the included wrap tool).  Like I said, not sure who bit who, but someone is doing some biting.  😉

On the full size, you do get side filling with a nice big port.

Some additional information:

Horizon Phantom tank utilizes an all new proprietary center system that revolutionizes the way we vape. It is made up of 4 different operational parts. The liquid recycle chamber recycles unused liquid back to the coil.

Vapor travel through the vents on the sides of the baffle then proceeds through the liquid recycling chamber. As vapor travels through the chamber the surface area goes from very small to large, this causes any excess condensation to collect in the chamber and be filtered down the side walls. When enough liquid collects in the chamber gravity causes it to be fed back down onto the coil thus being recycled. (Mmmm… backwash 🙂 )

Full Size:

  • 22mm Diameter
  • 304 Stainless Steel Construction
  • High Quality Glass Tank Section
  • 5ml Tank Capacity (full size)
  • 3.5ml Tank Capacity (Micro)
  • Two Chamber Liquid Storage (full size)
  • Mechanical Cooling System
  • Liquid Recycling System
  • Splash Proof System
  • Middle or bottom fill (full size)
  • Bottom fill (micro)
  • 316 Stainless Steel BTDC (Bottom Turbine Dual Coil)  Sub-Ohm Coil Design
  • Japanese Organic Cotton
  • Widebore Stainless Steel 510 Drip Tip
  • Rebuildable Head Included

Both Include:

  • One Phantom Sub-Ohm Tank by Horizon
  • One 316 Stainless Steel BTDC Sub-Ohm Coil, .2 ohm (Pre-Installed)
  • One RBA Head
  • Estimate around $35.00 for this tank

TAKE A LOOK – THE CROWN SUB-OHM TANK BY UWELL

THE CROWN SUB-OHM TANK BY UWELL

Oh boy!  Another sub-ohm tank!  🙂

With this one you can supposedly hit the coils with 120 Watts!  Yay!

I say give me similar performance with less watts so I can get better battery life, but what the hell do I know (oh… did I just get cranky there?)

Ok, here’s some more information:

  • Made from Top Quality of Stainless Steel and Quartz Glass
  • Organic cotton
  • Adjustable airflow
  • Quartz glass
  • Multiple options for coils: Single Coil, Dual Coil, Temperature Control Coil, RBA
  • Top filling and bottom filling
  • Large air flow and huge vapor production
  • Mine came with a spare tank section, .25 ohm dual coil SS head, .5 ohm dual coil SS head, .15 NI200 head.
  • 4ml capacity
  • Estimate around $35.00 for this tank.

Not sure I’m going to do an “official” review on this one.  Since I’ve been writing this post, another 501 sub-ohms tanks have been released out of China.  I mean seriously, how many heads can vendors keep in stock?  (where have I read that before? 🙂 )

NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE JWELL DUPLX – 8/20/15

THE JWELL DUPLX

The Duplx is one part clearomizer, one part RTA, and one part RDA.

If you remember, I talked about these guys in one of the UK videos.  I’m impressed by their product offerings if not a little on the pricey side.

The machining on this one looks pretty stellar and I’m looking forward to trying her out in tank mode.

In looking at the design, be careful in dripper mode.  Be sure to drip down the side or I have a feeling you could drip down, into, and through your airport.  🙂

At the moment, looks like you’ll have to find this one overseas.  Estimate around 69,90 € or $78.23.  Found it HERE.

DUPLX is a new 22m diameter atomizer (510 compatible) that can be used on your favorite mod or box. In its case you will find the complete kit for use both with BCS or pure rebuildable resistances (single or dual coil), thanks to its ingenious head integrating a unique liquid flow control. Whether you use a little liquid or a big dose of VG, you can enjoy it in this new generation atomizer.
As a bonus included in the kit is the top dripping head replacing the tank. It is provided with two adjustable side airfl ows and fins for cooling the material quickly. DUPLX also features a 2 in 1 airflow system that will delight all vapers no matter how they inhale. The large airflows on the sides can be used for direct inhalation – the small airfl ows (which appear when the large ones are closed) will create the classical two times inhalation.

NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE AVATAR FX – 8/20/15

THE AVATAR FX

New in the queue is the Italian designed Avatar FX. Something different this way comes. A unique design and a unique interface make up the new Avatar FX.

This one isn’t designed to be a cloud chaser, but is designed to be something different, and different it is.

I’m digging the full auto mode for those who may not be familiar with all the numbers and settings that many of us are.

In purposely making this a lightweight device out of plastic, it does give it a somewhat cheap feel.  Also, adding an atomizer to it, makes is a bit top heavy which is accentuated by a not perfectly flat, wobbly bottom.

  • Automatic and manual modes
  • Onboard micro USB charger
  • USB output adaptive – Use as a powerbank
  • Upgradeable operating system (firmware)
  • Built in (authorized service center replaceable) battery 2500 mAh
  • Color 2.4″ LCD monitor, 240×320 resolution, 262K colors (authorized service center replaceable).
  • 1-8V or 7-30W down to .3 ohms
  • Multi-directional joystick for menu control
  • Customize with different color shells coming soon.
  • Everything is replaceable and servicable.
  • € 139.00 = $155.58 US

NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE SIGELEI 75W TC – 8/20/15

THE SIGELEI 75W TC

It’s been a while since I’ve been impressed by a Sigelei product.  I had a chance to use one at my friend Niagara’s house this past weekend and impressed I was.  Although I only used it for a while, it worked well in temp and wattage mode, was easy to adjust, felt solid and good in the hand (width was good, but perhaps a little too deep), and the battery covers didn’t wiggle.

From the EVCigarettes website – supplying vendor:

Sigelei has done it again!  The Sigelei 75W Box MOD w/ Temperature Control is a high quality yet affordable device that packs an amazing 75 watts and Temperature Control in a tiny package!

NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE VAPOR FLASK BY VAPORSHARK – 8/20/15

THE VAPOR FLASK BY VAPORSHARK

I recently received the new Vapor Flask, this time by VaporShark.

I’m really digging it.  I like the new rubberized finish better than the original.  I seem to have better control of it in my hand.  I like the larger DNA-40 screen (so far, no glitches).   I also like the new battery caps which have a “flip up handle” removing the need for a coin to replace the batteries (although they are somewhat sharp)

What I really, really, really, and BTW REALLY don’t like is the fact that I can find no battery orientation information on either the device or the included documentation.   Maybe I haven’t looked hard enough?  Although the DNA-40 now has reverse battery protection, the device itself does not.  So as an experiment, I installed the batteries the wrong way.  This resulted in heat, smoke, and damn near vented batteries.  Not good.  IMHO this need to come with a rather large, in your face warning about correct battery installation which is positive side up into the device for both batteries.   The good news is the board and device survived.

From the VaporShark website:

The ergonomic design and impressive performance of Vapor Flask have made this unique mod a favorite amongst vapers. Now Vapor Flask and VaporShark® have worked together to redesign this mod from the ground up. We are very proud to present Vapor Flask by VaporShark®! In typical VaporShark® fashion, new and innovative features have been added to take this dual battery mod to the next level. Improved features include a large screen with dimmable idle screen capabilities. The new rubberized finish adds a modern look and comfortable feel. Additionally, the days of waiting hours upon hours for your device to charge are over. Zip Charging has been added to decrease charging time by a whopping 350%. Vapor Flask by VaporShark® is innovation at its finest. When two industry leaders come together the result is nothing short of amazing.
