NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE SMY SDNA 75 – 6/8/16
Another DNA-75 box has shown up, and I’m quite sure it won’t be the last… this time from SMY.
I’m actually looking forward to seeing the DNA-75 making it’s way into some high end stab wood mods. Although I like the Yihi boards, I do prefer the TC signal of the DNA boards.
With this one… nothing too fancy, but it looks like Daniel of DJLsb Vapes is involved, so that makes me feel pretty confident that the device is set up properly.
Here’s some additional information from SMY:
After SDNA 200, we will bring out SDNA 75 box mod with the new DNA75 chip from Evolv. On the one hand, we will keep going with the advantages of SDNA 200, use stainless steel fat daddy style 510 connector, make it compact size with single 18650 removable battery, most importantly, we will continue work with DJLsb Vapes Daniel, he will test SDNA 75 and help with the pre-programmed firmwares,which can make the SDNA 75 have all the TCR presettings right out of the package box, super easy to use, plus the ergonomical appearance design, accurate temperature and stable performance from DNA75 chip, SDNA 75 is going to be a very special, fully-functional and convenient high end hardware for you.

NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE KANGER CUPTI – 6/8/16
I took a quick look at this and all I could think of was… “my, what a large shaft you have”. 🙂
Once thing is for sure, the air as a LONG way to go before it gets to your mouth!
Is this Kanger’s answer to the new Joyetech eGrip or perhaps their answer to the leaky Neebox?
Hmmm… a side by side review with this and the eGrip II. That may be interesting.
This is another closed bottom design where the air comes in at the mouthpiece, down to the coil, and back up the (rather long) air shaft. With this design, the Neebox Leakiness is no longer a concern.
Here’s some more information from Kanger:
1. 5.0ML
2. Leak-free
3. 75W output
4. For MTL and DL
5. All in one device
6. CLRBA(optional)
7. Replaceable 18650
8. Temperature Control
9. Replaceable Pyrex glass
10. Durable surface furinshing
I think they meant “finish” and WHAT? No included RBA? That’s not like you Kanger!
NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE VAPORESSO NALU RDA – 6/8/16
I’m probably not going to review this one as I don’t look at very many drippers, but I figured I’d at least share some information and photos. If you’re into 24mm drippers, with large posts and holes for larger builds, big air, and big liquid/drip reserve, this one may be for you…

A PILE FOR ADVOCACY AUCTION
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE!!
Typically, my surplus is donated to the military through the Vape-A-Vet program, but this time I’ve decided to do something a little bit different.
I’ve created the “A PILE FOR ADVOCACY AUCTION” Here are the details.
- What’s in the pile? (photos below)
Tanks, drippers, rebuildables, devices, chargers, accessories and more. Some old, some new, some unique, some duplicates, all brand new. I will not answer any questions about what’s in the pile. It’s a random, grab-bag type auction.
- What can I do with it?
Whatever you like. Use it yourself, sell it, make a friend, convert a smoker.
- How do I bid?
Send an email to pbusardo@tasteyourjuice.com.
In the SUBJECT LINE of the email put – “AUCTION BID – <your full name> – <your bid amount>”
SERIOUS BIDS ONLY PLEASE!
- How do I know what the high bid is?
The high bidder will be at the top of TasteYourJuice.com. I’ll do my best to update it daily.
- When does it end?
Thursday, June 30th, 11:59PM EST.
- If I’m the high bidder, what do I win?
- Everything you see in the pile.
- A Full Year Gold Sponsorship Banner on TasteYourJuice.com for a vendor of your choice.
- An autographed copy of Vaping Advocate Magazine
- An autographed Limited Edition Coolfire TC100 with my logo on it
- I’ll come to your house, do a load of laundry, and cook dinner
(I cringe at the autographing thing, but if it help and add to the high bid… so be it)
(#5 is a joke 🙂 )
- Do I have to pay shipping?
No, I’ll cover that.
- Where will the money go?
Donations will be made in your name – 1/2 will go to CASAA, 1/2 will go to Right2B Smoke Free.
- Who can bid?
Individuals, shops, vendors, manufacturers… all are welcome to bid. US residents only please.
A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Tesiyi 40A 2600mAh 18650 Bench Retest Results…changed cells, a very good 25A/2500mAh battery
Bottom Line: In my previous tests I rated this ICR Tesiyi cell as decent, but very overrated at 25A/2300mAh. They’ve changed cells but it is still overrated. It’s now a 25A/2500mAh ICR cell but the wrap has not been changed in any way to indicate that the cell was changed. They have also switched from a double-layer wrap to a single one. In addition, Tesiyi has still not updated the wraps to indicate continuous/pulse ratings as they said they would months ago. If Efest can start doing this, with accurate ratings, then I would fully expect the other companies to be able to do so too.
All this aside, this is a good 25A ICR cell with good capacity and the classic flatter discharge curve that provides a more consistent vaping experience when using a mechanical/unregulated mod. It delivers more capacity down to 3.2V than the Samsung 25R and hits harder than the VTC4 at higher current levels.

A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Sony VTC5A 2500mAh 18650 Bench Test Results…a fantastic 25A battery!
Bottom Line: The Sony VTC5A is a top-performing 25A 2500mAh battery. It runs at a higher voltage than the Aspire 1800mAh, VTC4/5, 25R, and HD2C and runs for almost as long as the VTC5. I want to do some more comparisons against other cells but this is probably one of the top three best 18650’s.
