Ageis X

I am going to need to replace the ones that came in my Ageis Legend eventually.  

Living in Mass and have been getting juice by mail for years, then the ban, very lucky to have NH nearby.
Only problem is I had to change my vaping habits, never knew things had changed so much, nobody stocks higher PG than VG, in fact the stores don’t know what I’m talking about, was using a provari with a nautilus tank for years with higher PG, now had to go sub ohm with an Ageis with Ajax and Voppoo tanks to get some sort of hit, I also noticed many juices don’t even state the PG/VG on the bottle or should I say VG/PG as that switched as well.
Love the flavors now but miss the Provari, whole new learning experience for me.
Thank you New Hampshire or I would be screwed.  

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.  

So I ran into a good guy I hadn’t seen for a long time who vapes DL. He’d recently busted his main vape and had picked up a SMOK as a quick emergency backup.

I suggested an ageis legend and a Doom atty to him, but he wants light weight, which is a specialty of neither of those devices. He can wrap and wick an RTA, has a lot of kanthal to use up, and wants a tank bigger than 3ml. The more the merrier I suspect. His batteries also suck.

So if it would please the participants, I’m looking for suggestions.

Mod:
- light weight. Small would be nice to
- reasonably high quality. He doesn’t need ruggedized necessarily but he wants it to last.
- Low cost (he’s willing to work with Chinese no-names and to shop China channel. He likes Ali-express)
- 2x18650, though I suspect a 1x2x700 would also suffice. He vapes DL so a certain amount of power is needed
- No Blinky Lights (this one is absolutely non negotiable)

Atty:
- DL
- Doesn’t leak (yeah I know. Anything will leak.)
- Capacity over 3ml

I’d personally like to add no paint or gold electroplating over pit metal. He didn’t ask but they suck bad.

Gonna mail him a link to this thread.

UPDATE:
Dude is an old ECF member and his account still works!
The person I was asking for is @rigorist

He will have more accurate data than me.  

So I bought a DNA chip and made my mod, now I've got a bit of a bug lol.

So I've still got wires, a Sony vct5 switches and a charging board, but now I want to make another, but I don't want to spend the same out on a chip set,

Any ideas on a cheap reliable chipset for making another mod?  

Molicel 18650s are ever so slightly bigger than samsungs. I found this the first time I popped a couple in my mod. The fit was a little bit tight. Now as this applies the the legend, the battery door being on the bottom and spring loaded, it's a bit of effort to close it. Not a deal breaker but i just need to make sure its closed securely. Now, lol, this morning I put in some freshly charged batteries, closed the cover and set it down only to have the door pop back open. The spring on this door was strong enough to flip my mod over when it popped open. Its probably only funny if you were here an saw this happen.  

HI
Those 2 mods crapped out on me, most likely broken connection of some kind, as both can not read attached tank.
Planning to pull apart and do my best to find the issue, but I realized that SMOK is uses HEX type screws and I need those screwdrivers.
I wonder if someone here knows something about those sizes, as they are very small - I tried my professional Dewalt bits, but they are too big, so I need tiny ones.

Any ideas appreciated.  

I have said many times all mods break sooner or later. I dropped one and It quit working. I had to use an older mod I had for backup and it was usable but would randomly change the wattage. I bought a UWELL EVDILO a couple of months ago and it didn't work out of the box. I bought another mod the Vandy Vape Gaur-21. I received it yesterday. I like it but, I think the battery lights are not functioning properly. I used it for 24 hours and the battery indicators report the batteries are still at full charge. Doesn't seem possible. I am just sharing this info. Merry Christmas!  

I ordered two of these batteries from FastTech. The cheap price and high capacity (without having a mod or some awkward huge battery) attracted me to them. Some two weeks later they show up...

I have two Puff King chargers that came with starter kits we bought at a B&M store. We've been using them with Tripl3 eGo batteries, one Puff King battery (and another Puff King battery, which was taken back and exchanged for another eGo-T battery, which broke), and so far no problems screwing any batteries in. These two from FT show up however and neither will screw into one Puff King charger, but they both did into the other (same charger, down to the model number and everything). Now, one battery from FT still screws in, but the other doesn't.

I took the non screwing in battery to a local B&M store and the guy there was able to screw it into one of their chargers. He handed it to me, and I unscrewed it, screwed it back in, unscrewed it again, and then neither of us could screw it in again. Now I have one battery from FT that will screw into one of my chargers, but not the other. The other battery will charge, but it has to just like sit in the charger and hope the connection stays okay for it to charge. I still have no problems screwing any of my other batteries into either charger, just these ones from FT. Also, it's worth mentioning that the FT batteries never seemed to screw in right... it always felt weird and finicky getting it to go in.

What's up with these batteries? They claim to be eGo/510 threaded, just like my other batteries. They look just like my other batteries too, except they won't screw in right...  

Hello I have had this smok g-priv 2 mod for ages now. Now for some reason when I press the trigger button while a tank is on the mod just shuts itself down. I have tried cleaning the 510 connector, tried using 3 different tanks, charging the batteries, etc still no luck. It started happening all of a sudden after I refilled the tank. I can click the trigger while no tank is in and no issues but if a tank in connected is shuts itself down. Any ideas?
