NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE HCIGAR VT133 – 02/03/16
So you want a DNA-200 but don’t like the 3S Lipo pack? Maybe the 3-18650 Reuleaux DNA-200 is too big and heavy for you? Well, here’s an option.
The VT133 uses two 18650s so you’re not going to get the full 200 watts out of the DNA-200 board, but you will get up to 133 watts. You’ll also still be able to take advantage of all the features the Escribe software gives you.
It’s still a pretty big device, but doesn’t have the weight of the Reuleaux.
NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE ELEAF ISTICK TC 100W – 02/03/16
A larger 2-18650 100w temp control device. You can use a single 18650 in it for a lighter feel but you’ll only (only… LOL) get 75 watts out of it.
The batteries are held in place on either side of the mod by magnetic battery covers.
This one has “squeeze the mod to fire” hidden button we saw on the Smok XCubes, but IMHO, done much better.
A mechanical lock on the top of the device allows you to quickly lock it without having to go into the menu as the fire button would be easily pressed in your pocket.
This one also features firmware upgradability, and a TCR mode.
Powerful yet more intelligent, the new iStick TC100W is skillfully engineered with the latest temperature control system. Not only does the iStick TC100W feature its magnetic covers for ease of replacing your 18650 cells, it also presents you with upgradable firmware and switchable TC(Ni/Ti/SS/TCR)/VW/Bypass modes. In addition, an ergonomically designed shape with hidden button is for better grip action.
Size: 52mm*23mm*94mm
Thread Type: 510 thread
Cell Type: high-rate 18650 cells
(Discharge current should be above 25A, for example, Sony VTC4)
Output Mode: VW/Bypass/TC(Ni/Ti/SS/TCR-M1,M2,M3) Mode
Output Wattage: 1-100W
Resistance Range: 0.05-1.5ohm (TC modes)
0.1-3.5ohm (VW/Bypass mode)
Temperature Range: 100-315℃/200-600℉ (TC modes)
Color: Grey, Black, White
NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE TESLA NANO 60W TC – 02/03/16
New In The Queue doesn’t mean a lot these days. Too many items coming too hot and heavy to get to them all. I do what I can based on your interest and mine. At least you can have a look anyway!
I will still continue to post and add to the Review Queue though.
I haven’t been a huge fan of Tesla product, but I kinda like this one.
Feels really solid, love the top button AND it does THIS…
I was also impressed with the packaging. Came very well mounted in it’s case and protected from scratching. This one features temp control and an internal 3600mAh battery.
The Tesla Nano 60W TC Box Mod features Temperature Control from 200 ℉ – 600 ℉ (100 ℃ – 300 ℃ ). The minimum resistance in wattage mode is 0.1ohms and 0.05ohms in Ni 200 and Ti mode. With a TC compatible coil, you can simply set your desired temperature and vape away. In mechanical mode, the box mod acts as a mechanical mod. The firing voltage will start at 4.2v and will decrease as the battery starts to die.

CLEARSTREAM ONWARD MOVES… ONWARD!
If you recall from the Flavour Art visit video, the company was investing heavily on research into the safety of their flavorings and liquids.
Some results have been published and additional testing has been announced…
Fem2 Ambiente will put a scientific seal on Flavourart products and at the end of the project several far-reaching objectives will be achieved. These topics include, among others, the endorsement of the healthiness of e-liquids and their ingredients, the accurate assessment of levels and kind of emissions produced by e-cig, the confirmation of the absence of heavy metals and harmful compounds derived from inhalation.
This will be an essential requirement of Scientific evidence required under the released draft of Deeming regs required for liquid registration.

THE SEVIA USA SITE IS UP
Feeling very proud about this today to have played even a small roll in the organization’s creation. Congratulations to Dimitri Agrafiotis and all those manufacturers involved.
Proudly announcing the official launch ceremony of the Shenzhen Electronic Vaporizer Industry Association – SEVIA(USA), a strong new voice for the vaping industry!
SEVIA(USA) is a newly registered American vaping association that will act as the representative in the United States of America for top China e-cig and vaporizer manufacturers including Aspire, Innokin, Kanger, & SMOK and more.
On January 20th 2016 over 100 ecig manufacturers came together at a conference in Shenzhen China to commit their resources and financial support in the fight against unfair and burdensome FDA regulations.
SEVIA USA was created and looking forward to assisting various advocacy and litigation groups in the US.
Mission Statement :
1) Congress SHOULD NOT regulate vapor products as tobacco products, considering these products DO NOT actually contain tobacco leaf.
2) The FDA should modify the grandfather date to allow products currently on the market in order to avoid the Pre Market Tobacco Application (PMTA) process.
3) The FDA should create a streamlined process that allows companies to submit more reasonable applications for the vapor market.
We have formed a coalition of responsible Chinese electronic cigarette manufacturers concentrating our financial efforts and resources to keep vapor products affordable, accessible and with the variety needed in order to help smokers transition to a less harmful alternative.
Moreover looking forward to a regulatory path we want to enforce industry standards to assure consumers safety and confidence in Chinese manufacturing.

WANTING TO SHARE…
Several months ago, I had the privilege of meeting Jason Wahl online. We spoke several times via Facebook about vaping. He wanted to attend VCC Tulsa, but expressed concern about fitting in. Dimitris and I both convinced him to attend, assuring him that vaping events are attended by all kinds of people and we would do our best to make him feel comfortable. He attended and I’m glad he did.
We spent some time with Jason and got to know him as best we could. He seemed like a really warm, friendly person.
Jason wound up sending me a Christmas card which really meant a lot to me. I thought I would share it with you here:
Knowing I was a Star Trek fan, he even included a little metal model for me:
Things like this mean the world to me folks and far outweigh the value of any mod, tank, or vaping accessory I could own.
I was saddened to find out that Jason passed away Thursday January 21st. He suffered an aneurysm and fell from a ladder while working to support his family. He is leaving behind his wife Michelle and his 5 children. He is 33 years old and too young for this to happen.
Jason, it was my privileged getting to know you, even if for only a short period of time. You’ve left an impression. I will build your model and it be a very special addition to my collection. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
If you’re interested in helping out, Jason’s family has set up a fund to assist with his burial. You can find it HERE.
