Nice review as always, it looks a nice compact little mod. A point Im always interested in is what a device is like on batteries ? Also there's a 50w version of this I believe, any feedback on that one ?

It seems like a backwards departure to go back to jack connections, but they will probably be better than the micro usb for longevity. However without the usb you would be unable to update the firmware.

I pulled the trigger on this one and I've been using it a few days now, so I can hopefully add some valid input. Battery life seems good, better than the istick 60w tc for sure and certainly on par with the vt40 with the evolve chip which gives very good battery life. I'm not sure if that's due to the mod using joules as opposed to watts in tc mode. I'm still trying to work joules out at the moment and how it translates to watts, but I think it's the amount of joules you have set divided by the length of time your firing for. For example 30 joules firing for 5 seconds would be 6w. Now if that's an average wattage for the 5 seconds that's not a lot of power consumption and would greatly aid battery life. I'm standing awaiting correction on that as I'm using it at around 15 to 20 joules and fire on average 5 seconds if I were to estimate, that would only be 3 or 4 watts. I'm sure one of our resident geniuses could start a joules and Vaping simplified thread. As paulymeatbals said the mod feels very well built. Very smooth, weighty, no uncomfortable edges and surprisingly small. I've had no issues with the battery cap catching the first couple of threads but I will add I think the threads on the mod may well be brass. Mine has a brassy colour to it, the cap though does appear to be stainless steel as do the 510 threads. Vaping on the mod is very nice. I'm using a subtank mini with a 0.09 build at 430f with red astaire. The power delivery seems lovely and smooth, the Vape equally so. I know the build has a big say in the vape but in my opinion the way the power is delivered also has an equal bearing. I don't know whether it's in my head but even tinkering with the istick I can't get it to quiete deliver like the sea wasp does. Overall I'm very happy with the mod so far so a big thanks to paulymeatballs for reviewing and bringing this to my attention. It's a good and well priced mod. Jay.
