Wismec 3 Battery? No good. Breaks within a year without dropping. Replicated on two mods.
Wismec 2/3 mod? Yet again, poor manufacturing. Wires not soldered properly. Almost lasted a year.
Squid Industries Double-Barrel? Craps out after 1 month without any damage. Wont turn on.
GeekVape Aegis Legend? 2 months and not reading the batteries right. Never so much as tipped over on my desk.
SMOK? Had more than I can count or bother to recall the exact models, but every one busted within a year.
None of them seem true to their warranties either. They make it as tedious a process as possible. I haven't tried with the Aegis Legend yet, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's probably more of the same.
At this point, I am convinced that I have spent more money on mods than I have on juice. These mods are all made like crap. I don't want to spend $80 every few months to get a new mod. I just want to vape for gods sake.
Has anyone had a mod that has lasted them over a year? What kind was it? I've asked this before and that's what led me to the Double-Barrel and the Aegis Legend. Both have failed on me even sooner than my previous attempts.
I've been through a great deal of SMOK's and Wismec's. Each seems to last me a year or less before the thing breaks. The buttons seem to just stop working on the Wismec's. If you've had a mod last you longer than a year, what kind was it? Where did you get it from?
Aegis legend has a squonk I've been looking at. One thing I dont like is it's a single battery mod. My vaporesso switcher is getting to be very well used. No problems with it but I bought it used and have had it nearly a year. I dont think my friend used it much before he sold it to me and for 20 bucks, I'm not at all disappointed with it. I just feel like maybe I'll be needing a new mod eventually and since I dont have a spare, and since a new mod does have that shinyitis appeal, well you know. Anybody tried this squonker yet? My only concern is the single battery thing. I just prefer two mostly. And my last experience with squonking was less than satisfying so I'm kinda wondering, do I try again or just get a regular aegis legend.
Herro!
So, I always used to use mech mods from about 6 months to a year and a half into vaping. For the last 6 months I've been on regulated (iStick 30W and 50W).
When I switched to regulated I retired my mech mods and 18650 batteries to the closet. I made sure they were all around 50% charged because I heard from someone on here that was the best condition to leave them.
Well recently I've had this curiosity to try them again, only for at home use, mainly for the novelty of it.
So, my question is, what will I have to do to revive these batteries? Are they safe to just throw back on the charger and use when fully charged? Or are they not safe to use?
Batteries: 4 Sony VTC 4's (all were acquired about a month before I stopped using mechs), 2 XTAR (Sony) VTC 4's (about a year old now) , 2 MXJO 2500mah (20A LG's) (about a year old now).
Let me know! Thank you!
Vape Happy,

Recommendations Please!
I loved this mod, but after 4 years needed to retire it due to shortened battery life.
Wismec/Jaybo RX mini
Reuleaux RXmini Kit
Bought this one next from Vape Wild and really enjoyed it, but after 3 months it completely stopped charging and wouldn't turn on. Never got wet and never dropped. Just very poorly made. That was money thrown away.
Geek Vape Aegis Mini
Geekvape Aegis Mini 80W Starter Kit
Got this one next, and it's been great, but the charging port has broken. Vapor DNA was great and they're sending a full refund.
VAPORESSO LUXE NANO 80W TC
Vaporesso LUXE NANO 80W TC Starter Kit – VaporDNA
So, now I need something new and am looking for advice for what to get. I really like the "mini" mods, but a long lasting battery and durability is very important too.
I would really appreciate suggestions.
Thank you!
spent the day reading vape forums, made some new vape juice and wrapped up a bunch of new fused SS claptons, which are working awesome in my aegis X in TC. Now I can start the new year waiting for my new vape stuff to show up
I’ve been vaping the same 2 mods for over a year and 1/2. They are Geekvape Aegis 100watt with Cerberus tanks. I use a couple of tank fulls per day. Lately I’ve been getting short battery charge life regardless of new coil or not, old batteries or new. I recently changed from .3 to .2 ohm coils, does that make a difference? Do these things wear out? I thought the only thing that ever needed replacing was the coil. I have 6 of the same unit in stock. Is it time to replace and pitch?
Hello everyone. I've been vaping for almost half an year now and I've been absolutely loving it. I started with an aspire starter kit, then went to an aegis legend kit with a sub-ohm tank and now I've got 3 different RTAs (Zeus X,Profile RTA and Aromamizer Lite). As you can see I'm quite hooked on vaping / building in general. Over the past few months I've avoided making topics with stupid questions in them and have basically read and watched all the informative vids out there. As far as mainstream products go there is abundance of information and it's pretty easy for anyone to find their way.
Now to the issue at hand: While watching a review I came across a high end tube mod ( Dani 25 ) and I realized there is a whole `nother level to this ballgame. I want to get into high end attis and mods made in the west but it's hard to find even a list of high end brands let alone reviews on all of those. Basically my question to you is : If I have money burning in my pocket and I want to buy something cool how do I know what's good and what's basically a ripoff?
While I'm fine taking the risk of buying a defective/not very good 30$ tank, it would be an absolute disaster if I were to buy something 10 times that price that's garbage.
Do you guys know any sources that review high-end stuff exclusively and any specific brands I can look at?
See imgur.com/a/Yem5bdF for the full set of charts, results and tests, the attached is the one of 7 tests/states/charts.
TLDR: These are hands down the best out of the box results I have seen from from a cheaper mod so far. Compare the result to the DNA 75 and its not too far off in most states imgur.com/a/7Pe3Gad. You could argue this is better than a DNA out of the box because you dont have to do anything to ensure its pretty much accurate (A DNA mod requires the Steam Engine SS316L profile to be installed via escribe for best accuracy...anyone who says DJacquith or stock should see my test results on those profiles before commenting).
This Aegis Solo looks like a better result than previous Geekvape tests like the G-Box reddit.com/r/electronic_cigarette/comments/gf5pft./temperature_control_testing_results_geekvape_gbox/.
I am told there are two different types of boards running different Geekvape mods so maybe check before applying this result to other Geekvape mods. The controller in this mod is as follows I believe: ARM Cortex-M0 Nuvoton NUC220LE3AN. I think the other mods with this controller include the Aegis Mini/Nova/Max, ONLY! Without this component, the Geekvapes dont appear to perform well.
Hello all, I just bought the Ageis X. Owned the Ageis legend and I'm in love with GeekVape.
My Smok mods were pure crap. Alien 220, battery door issue. G-Prev , 510 connector ended up doing the endless spinning when screwing on a tank.
So, to my question, the Ageis X says it has an updated As 2.0 chip. I googled it and can't find info on this chipset. Anyone have any info on this? Google DNA chipset and you get a billion such pages worth of information.
I know with regulated mods it doesn't really matter, but I'm just curious. How can I tell if my regulated mod works in series or parallel. I have the Aegis Legend 200W.
