A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ARCTIC DOLPHIN ADONIS
“Adonis” Huh? Thought Dimitri reserved that word for himself. Anyway, here’s a closer look at the new “stabilized wood” mod coming from Arctic Dolphin.
These are not the final-final versions. These are the semi-final versions. They’ve told me I’ll be receiving the final-final versions soon. Why I have these semi-final versions… I have no idea. They’ll make good contest giveaways though. 🙂
I told then I wouldn’t do anything with a semi-final version other than show you folks, so here you go.
I still don’t have a final-final confirmed price on these and when I get that, I’ll post it here. Here’s some other information about this mod I’ve been able to locate on their website.
- Update – 3/30/16 – I just found out that the cost will be about $300 and the run will be limited to 3000 pieces. I have a feeling that some will find that a tough nut to swallow for a Chinese piece, but we’ll see.

NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE SQUAPE X [DREAM] – 3/29/16
I’ve always liked the Squape and always hated filling it. 🙂 This one offers some new features that are going to make filling it far easier. Really looking forward to building this one and trying her out!
You can easily put a single or dual coil in this one and get proper airflow for either, although I would have liked to see a Velocity styled deck in it. As, as usual, I’m truly hating the tiny hex key needed to create your build.
More information from Stattqualm and additional photos below:
The SQuape X[dream] is a rebuildable tank atomizer which was developed and produced in its entirety in Switzerland. It is made by StattQualm GmbH to be used for the vaporisation of e-liquid. The SQuape X[dream] can be closed off completely by a slight rotation of the tank and is therefore absolutely leak-free. Because of the closed system the tank can be taken off the atomizer and transported empty or full. Short circuits are virtually impossible, through clever design of current conduction, as well as due to the nonconductive surface of the whole atomizer-chamber (consisting of ematalised aluminum).

– Hight (without SQuip Tip and 510 connector): 54,4mm

– Replaceable borosilicate glass
– Deck is accessible even with full tank
– Nonconductive components inside the evaporation-chamber (deck and closing ring) – no danger of short circuits
– No limits to thicker wires through pins with wire holes (2.2mm) and wire fixation through grub screws
– Gold plated contacts
– Suitable for Temp. Control and V/W mode
– The tank can be completely closed and removed (even when full)

NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE BEYOND VAPE CENTURION – 3/29/16
Looks like the Stout has some competition. This is the new Beyond Vape Centurion. A 26650 (or 18650 with the insert) 100W TC device.
It comes in black or white and is available on the Beyond Vape website for $90.
The specs appear to be the same as the Stout and considering it’s manufactured by Wismec, probably has the same board as well. This one, although a little more ergonomic, is also substantially larger than the Stout (see the photos below).

NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE LOTUS JELLYSLICE – 3/24/16
Well, it’s no big secret that me and the Lotus Jellyfish didn’t exactly get along. Happily the company did not hold a grudge (nor should they ever… it’s nothing personal) and wanted me to look at their new device, the Lotus JellySlice.
Kinda happy about that too because I’m really digging the form factor of this device. It’s slim, very slim. Although the top tapers into a centered 22mm atomizer platform, the device itself is only 15mm thick, making it extremely pocket friendly. Feels pretty solid too. It’s going for $89.99 on the Lotus website. The board running it is a proprietary Lotus board.
Here’s some additional specifications and photos for you as well.
Lotus JellySlice 80W TC Box Mod Features:
2600mAh Internal Polymer Battery
Wattage Ouput Range: 1~80W
Max Voltage Output: 8V
Min Atomizer Resistance: 0.05ohm

CHINA VISIT 2, VIDEO 3 – VISIT TO A BATTERY FACTORY
A PBusardo Video – A Visit To The Yongdeli Battery Factory
In this video we travel back to China to see how batteries are made as we tour the Shenzhen Yongdeli New Energy battery factory.
Here’s something REALLY interesting that I found out AFTER the video was completed.
Although the general manufacturing process you will see is accurate, the required staff to ensure quality and to properly test the cells was not on hand. Due to this, Tony could not ensure the quality of the cells. So ALL of the batteries you see being manufactured in this video were destroyed and recycled.
Impressive if you ask me.
I sincerely appreciate the effort put forth by Tony and Brian allowing me to show you the manufacturing process.
Whether or not these cells have the specs as advertised, I’ll leave that one to Battery Mooch! 🙂
I hope you enjoy it!
