Just as I thought I'd got enough gear (xcube 2, fuchai, smok stick one, uwell crown, tfv4, tfv4 mini and enough juice to sink a submarine) someone in my local pub went and let me have a blast on thier dotmod petri rda, and I bloody loved it!
I've always stayed clear of rebuild able attys for a number of reasons but mainly because I couldn't be arsed (laughing smiley) but the flavour and vape that I got from this dotmod quite literally blew me away ????
Having never even considered buying an rda I know very little about where to begin but that hasn't stopped me from ordering a petri v2 rda and mech mod clone and dark horse clone all from FT and I can't wait for them to turn up!
Couple Qs for the drippers though, what's your favourite wicks and prewrapped coils at the minute or what am I best off starting with? Think the coils in the one I tried were a double Clapton @ 0.5ohm
Oh and I've never owned a mech mod so anything I should know about them would be awesome ta

Is this still available? If so does the Snow wolf 200w have the 1.5 chip in? If all these things are yes, then I'm very interested in this

The upgrade went on absolutely fine (though I also can't ever see going upto that wattage), but is anybody else having trouble with the Smart BEC app? It'll connect to the mod OK, but I've been trying to log in to upgrade to recognise Titanium coils and it crashes every time? Yep same problem here, I believe it's because they are creating a new forum type section for users. Why they can't just leave the current one up until they're finished I will never know

Likewise Q I've never been past 70w on it and doubt I ever will, the only reason I updated to the current firmware was because I can although I like it, I'm still at the point I'd wish I'd got a snow Wolf but I'm hoping that changes

Finger prints I can cope with, it scratches so easily :/ I've had to put a skin on mine which really does distract from the fine feel it has but saves it from anymore damage. chykensa fancy a swap

Gotta say, now I've had mine running for a week, it is absolutely superb. Few issues running the uwell crown in tc mode but that's because of the coils and not the cube so all in all really pleased with it.
Did either of you go for the black version? Seen one today and now I really with I had it in black

For those running the x cube 2, smok have just released a firmware update to take your box upto 180w, as well as sorting a couple other minor niggles.
Sorry I can't link right now, posting from my phone

Just a quick update, just filled up my 3rd tank on this (same coil and same juice as the 2nd tank) and now the flavour is starting to come through still not as full on as everyone has made out but a vast improvement. I'm wondering if some of the coils just need to bed in? Pretty new to sub ohm vaping so I've nothing to compare it to but the clouds are insane! Definitely not a stealth vape ha ha

The 0.25 will be next, I'm going to try every coil in the pack before giving up as EVERYONE says this is the tank to own right now. Currently using the 0.5 at around 55w and creating a new atmosphere within my house I'll try the .5 when this ones given up. I find anything below 50 watts the .25 doesn't even wake up. At 30 watts I got about as much vapour as a protank lol. So far this is my favourite subtank, beats the triton hands down The .5 is the same, doesn't do anything till 40w but will then go further than I'm willing to try lol

@jerri you're not alone. I've been following this thread from the start as I received my crown a few days back, but only just got a mod capable of firing it on and like you, I am underwhelmed by it to say the least. I'm using the stock 0.5 dual SS coil, there's mild undertones of what the flavour should be and clouds for days but to be perfectly honest it tastes more like steel than anything else. Like you, primed it properly but also like you, if it doesn't improve then it will to end up in the classies :/ Not tried the 0.5 Ohm coil, the 0.25 Ohms is a beast. Plenty of flavour if its a strong flavour, using a 'delicate subtle' flavour its pants, lots of clouds nothing else. A good meaty custard or my ADV Smoak (myvapery) its great, fruits etc. not as good as the Triton. So, I ran through an entire tank of NOM nomz 'strawberry ambrosia' which I thought may need longer steeping as there was only the slightest hint of flavour coming through, so I turned to my ADV VC that tastes good through all my tanks and still nothing :/ as said above, going to try all the coils in the pack over the next week and see how it goes
