    Please ask them if I can start pronouncing them as "smoke" and not as "smock". Thanks, Chris.

    Ordered. Only in silver at the moment will work on other colors. Coils also seem to be difficult to track down at the moment but it's on the list. Also Smok needs to calm down with these tanks. Baby Beast, Big Baby, Big, Giant, King, Whopper,

    The airflow with the quad coils is quite a bit higher than with the octo coil.  You can still get amazing flavor with them, though.
    Try closing down the airflow on the tank itself.  Try with the airflow ring in various positions and take "dry hits" (just inhale without firing the mod) until you have the airflow set to how you like it.  Restricting the airflow a bit with the quad coils should (keyword "should") enhance the flavor you are getting with that tank.

    You can send me yours.  I have one recently opened and two more fresh bottles in my freezer right now.  Love Jäegermeister...so much so that I used to have a GSD named Jäegermeister, (Jäeger for short).  The name definitely fit, as he was a master at hunting gophers, possum, snakes and other undesirable critters around the house.

    Does that mean you are not going to try my recipe? What tastes good to me don't taste to you.
    That's OK if you come up with a spinach flavored juice I sure won't be trying that.

    Personally I took the .6 ohm with a grain of salt, he might have used a multimeter, and not deducted the resistance of the leads.
    From what I read I assumed he built the mod himself, which would explain how he could get a wet coil red hot. Using 20g wire it would take more time to get a wet coil that hot, and a regulated mod would time out before that happened, or at least they are suppose to.

    Whoa, cowboy.   He gave an opinion just like you did, except he was friendly about it, unlike you.  What works for you is fine.  But clearly the OP is not as experienced a vape god like you and therefore his opinion is probably more valid than yours.  So do us a favor and tone it down a notch before you jump on somebody's ***.   And it might help you if you take a little time to get to know the site and make a few friends before you start pissing in the pool.

    Adversarious1 got a reaction from j.d.p.84 in Authentic or clone   
    I am of the same mindset as @j.d.p.84.  I prefer authentics because I'm more interested in supporting the people who actually develop the products.  That being said, what @Earthling789 said is also true.  There are some very good companies out there who pump out cloned products that are actually better than the authentic ones.  Also, a high priced "authentic" does not necessarily mean high quality.  My authentic $70 BeyondVape Arthas 18650 blows my authentic $275 Hyon Ruga VIP out of the water as far as performance. 
    One other thing to consider...many "clones" are actually licensed and produced with 100% support from the "authentic" developer, so do your research and make the decision for yourself.

    Adversarious1 reacted to Walt in SMOK GX350 first day mod review   
    @Adversarious1  Ok, bonded with the GX350 in a day flat. Obviously I can't speak to reliability over time but here is what I got:
    First thing I noticed on removing the mod from the box is that without batteries the battery door does not want to stay shut.  No latching without batteries.  Battery door is well marked for battery orientation and the batteries that I used fit nicely in the sleeves provided.  It takes a fair amount of pressure to close the battery door with batteries installed.  The battery door bows slightly with batteries installed.  Sitting on a flat surface the mod will rock slightly from front to back.  It sits flat from side to side.  The mod is not easily knocked over.   Griping the mod is absolutely perfect for me.  I have fairly large hands.  The shape of the mod fits the natural hand grip the best of any mod I've used to date.  Very substantial feeling mod with no rattles.  The firing bar is extremely stable with no movement beyond it's intended travel for firing.  It is not extremely "clicky" but has a subtle but noticeable firing point.  There is a very short delay in firing.  Seems instantaneous to me.    Obviously the mod has some weight to it per four 18650 batteries.  I have carried it in a fleece jacket pocket but it is a lot of bulk for most pockets.  I really enjoy the top mounted screen.  I like looking at the screen after most every vape (no idea why) and it is very handy.  It also came in handy testing TC.  Too close to focus on while vaping but I could tell when it was going in and out of firing.  A friend who works at a vape shop mentioned that other top screen mods have had failures on top mounted screens due to juice getting into the display.  Time will tell.  The screen is raised.  I have up to 25mm tanks and they fit well.  A 25mm is close to max without hitting the screen.  The center pin on the 510 is stiff.  I have one tank that will not screw flush with the mod.  Zero problems with connectivity to tanks/RTA's/eieio.  The screen itself displays all necessary information including a puff time which latches between puffs.  There is a puff counter but to view it you must enter the menu system.  The puff counter also latches and must be reset via the menu.  The mod is designed to detect atomizer changes and query input, new or old tank.  I find this somewhat accurate.  I like to fire the device once without a tank between changes to ensure the new atomizer is recognized.  In TC the unit appears to be using the initial atomizer resistance as a base line as there is no facility for locking resistance.  Temp control is simple.  NI, TI, and SS.  The menu prompts you for available wattage and TCR value.  I am using a value of 88 for 316L and am getting a very smooth, very well regulated vape without obvious on and off periods.  In TC the temp itself is the primary display and is adjustable via up/down buttons on the mod.  There is no ramp adjustment in TC.  Both TC and VW modes latch.  Most menu adjustments can be achieved with only the fire button using either short or long presses.  Values have to be changed via the up/down buttons on the mod.  The up/down switches are under a rocker style button which can be pressed in center to lock the mod.  I have found no facility to lock settings while allowing the mod to fire.  Pressing the fire bar along with up or down button will take you to short cuts for changing wattage and mode in TC.  In VW mode the short cuts are ramp strength and mode.  The mod powers up with five clicks and powers down via menu.  I am estimating battery life to be between 700 and 750 vapes.  Low wattage vapes ( 30 - 50) @ approx 6-7 seconds, high wattage vapes (90 - 110) at 2-3 seconds.  The USB port has a rubber cover.  IMHO, nice touch.  Paint; Smok and paint; I already have three small chips in the paint.  Although tiny and on sharp edges, I am assuming it isn't the best paint job on the planet. 
     
    Opinion:  I love using this mod.  Fits like a glove and all functions work well and are easily accessed.  I actually like the weight.  Feels substantial.  Sits well at the desk or end table.  Rides nicely in the console of the car.  It's small enough for me to palm shift while driving and holding the mod.  I think my other mods are going to get lonely.

    Got my Mutation X v5 from the VT store.  I was excited and neglected to take pics before breaking it out and building on it.  Ridiculously easy to build on.  Basic dual coil build.  22ga 316L SS at .15Ω.  Already wicked.  Sitting on one of my Sigelei Fuchai 213's.  Vaping @570 degrees.  Airflow for DAYS!!  Love it!

    Today marks 2 years since I purchased my first vape kit and gave up the analogs.  It was a belated birthday gift to myself that I have come to view as a "re-birth day".
    Don't normally like to toot my own horn or pat myself on the back, but today truly is a milestone for me.

    On the flip side, using 22g with more wraps to get to the same resistance provides for more surface area on the coil(s) which in turn allows for more liquid to be vaporized.  That can lead to more vapor and flavor, or it can be a complete disaster all the way around.  It's all about experimentation and finding your personal preference(s) though.
