musta fell out on da couch... :rockon:
:rofl:No, I had to run out for a few. I will do some serious testing now.:science:
@2clicker: about the film. It is VERY thin. It sort of reminds me of those silver Mylar balloons. I know what you are thinking.:tinfoil: I think that film would be hard to work with.

This thing is built like a tank! I'm pretty sure that it is mechanical. I think it needs a different battery, I'm using AW IMR 18350. I have ordered some purple efest 18350's. The only weak link is the film heating element. It does not seem to have enough mass to overpower draw cooling and cooling by the oil itself (hence my thought needing different battery.). Otherwise the design and idea is great.

Pretty interesting setup! Ordered the yocan exgo w1 to check out this type of 'coil' or heater or crinkly balloon thing...should be here Saturday.

Let us know how this type goes over. I am more interested in this one than the monster one.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

My current batteries don't power it. I have a couple that will for a brief time, but then stop. Turns out they run better at a lower range. Turns out they make a specific battery...ended up ordering the kit. Should be here Friday or Saturday.

Holding off on opinions until I get the proper battery. (Yocan Exgo v1)

So I have a bunch of different batteries so I hope I'm not in the same shoes as you. I didn't believe them when it said it must be used with their battery. I ordered a w2 so I will also give my feedback. I figured for 13 bucks it was a cheap test. Wonder if the coils are 510 threaded, anyone know? If it does perform well a thor is on my list.

So they are saying that a reasonable voltage will work (2.5v) but that the resistance has to be really low (0.5-1 ohm) on the battery you use them with?

I have the v1 and it is a tight little unit. The taste is great and the cap on the chamber keeps the glass clean.
Looking forward to others opinions on this gear.

Do you use their battery? If not what do you use? Thanks.

I have a EXgo W1 and am running it on a Vision spinner. First coil I put in didn't fire. Put in another coil and it fired perfectly. Been running it up to 4.2 volts, but now considering dropping the volts to 3.3 to prevent potential burning. This thing heats up fast and hot! So far the taste has been really good.

Edit: All three coils fired up - The first coil must not have been screwed in all the way the first time I fired it up. Dropped it to 3.3 volts and it worked well, I just had to lay on the power a little longer.

Glad to hear it working on other batteries as well. Cant wait to try this thing out!

Can this be used as a traditional nail, as in can you drop a dab on it and consume it in one shot? The videos seem to show people using it like a traditional portable ego atty and not like a nail... Someone please tell me you can use this like a real nail, or else I guess I'm just missing why this is so glorious.... I mean I can hook my current portable Igo-w to any water peice, so what makes this special if it isn't a nail?

It is designed to drop onto any WP but a fast draw will provide too much cooling. It does not replace a nail and torch.

So I just got my yocan w2....

One of the two coils does not fire. That sucks, but oh well.

I checked the OHM on the one that worked at its coming in at .6. So pretty damn low, so if you are going to use ego batteries you will prob ruin them. Hence why they are selling their own battery, im sure its safe for sub ohm.

That being said, I just loaded a dab on it and hit it. Pretty smooth, pretty good flavor, but not the biggest hit. Placed another dab on and tried to hit it again. It works but I dont think Im hitting all the oil or something. More experimenting is needed. Either way its built really well. I love the top cap that screws on with the tiny hole. Im sure that is to help with the cooling down of the heater.

Ill post back with more findings later.

Trying out this thing again today. Maybe I'm spoiled by big dabs or big clouds with my W9 Tech gear. It hits pretty good with a fresh battery. I keep ending up with a ring of un-vaped oil around the outside of the bowl area.

Great Scott!
I'm interested in this for sure, but I really don't need any more vapes!

Maybe when they make a V2 or something I'll hop in.

so the exgo w1 says the element reaches temps of 1300f within a second... doesnt that equal burnt oil?
