Discontinued G43 and SledGhammer

[Copacetic]

I'm always open to all feedback thanks man! That's a good idea and I believe that's what is going in the Tubo heater
.........

Just for clarity, The Tubo is different (I believe, just had a quick look) to what I was suggesting.
I meant to use a glass tube in the same way you are using the rod, I.e. the coil wrapped around the outside, with only the 'return' wire inside.

As I understand it the Tubo places its coils inside a wider diameter tube (probably faster, more direct airflow with a slightly different result to your approach, maybe Tubo might have less 'inertia' but less 'muscle' off the line?).
Obviously I'm making guesses that I can't even call educated! (no experience with either device).

I like that the coil is SS, and only called upon to deal with low wattages, I imagine this means a low/zero risk of the nasties that many suspect might be released from red hot metal.
I bet that translates to good flavour too.
The absence of solder is also reassuring.

I look forward to beta testers reactions

I’m in bud! Take my money! Please!

Glass Symphony for scale.

For anyone interested, GS weighs 296g and the G43 weighs 28g.

Before anyone asks, no it doesn't hit as hard as the GS. But it sure as hell hits way above it's weight class.

This thing is going to be nice for portable vapor bong rips on the back patio. I've really enjoyed playing with it so far. Temp charts coming soon.

The heat stays pretty localized in the middle third, so you can easily handle it by either end during use IME.

I charted the external temps of the top part (green line) and middle (hot) part (red line) for shits and giggles.

I would be interested in a unit

 

[AJS]

Sign me up, Bud. I've seen so many of your vape reviews, going to be fun reviewing a vape you made

 

[Ramahs]

You have my attention. Though, I'd be less interested in using it with a mod as with a wall plug-in adapter.
Though, at the same time, I like having the occasional option of using it with a 510 mod if the need arises.

I've been running the G43 on a wismec rx Gen3 with the myevic firmware and the autofire set to infinity.

Taste is great and you can rip it super hard or slow and steady.

There is loss of some heat between rips, but not much. A short break between hits and it's ready to deliver the goods again.

I haven't been able to see any glowing of the coils even in pitch black room.

For it's small size and cost, it's a solid choice.

How about a 5pin conector to be able to run it of an enail controller?

Looking clean and simple!

I like the pricepoint and the modularity, i am interested in a unit.

That would be great. Please with adaptor for NV Controller

The best you can do without inserting a thermoprobe inside is to run it of TC/TCR.
@VCBud Can the unit be easily disassembled for cleaning ? Maybe add spare crimps to package,if they get damaged in the process ?

I've been lucky to use the G43 single cradle battery version as my daily driver over a couple of months and it certainly holds up, very tasty and great extraction.

The cost is fantastic and it hits way above it's weight.

Wow, this thing is looking mighty impressive for the modest cost!
 @VCBud
What holds the glass beads in place at the herb end?
Conventional metal screen?

I love that it can be virtually cordless.
Any of you guys tried hitting it through a simple j-hook or similar?

 

[HindelangGG]

Looks awesome I will definitely get my self one. But as soon as I am a total newbie on the box mod market is my question if it would work with a eleaf istick Pico?

 

[StormyPinkness]

Not sure how many are in there, but if you want an S43 you can go with 3mm sapphire spheres for $4.25 each (25 - 49 $3.50, 50 - 99 $2.75, 100 - 249 $2.00):

I didn't see a 4mm sapphire rod, just 3mm ones.

Can't wait to try the G43!!!

That is the last thing I would like with my G43. Because I use a flowerpot and Elev8r with coil.....it is super refreshing to feel the freedom of not being tethered to a cord when vaping!

I like using it like this.....

Any mod used with the G43 will need to be able to have "cruise mode". Or an ability to stay on for a long duration. My average session times are about 9-12 mins.

Most of us are using the myevic firmware (myevic.bin) , so if you have a mod that you can flash that on....your good to go.

 

[invertedisdead]

Is this vape available for purchase already? How does everyone else on FC already have one?

 

[ubardog]

Its only selected beta testers from VLF that have them atm. There is a waiting list for them .

There were 12 beta testers and I was fortunate enough to be one. It was just the other day when we were ok'd to start talking about it. That is why Bud finally posted here on FC.

You would like this one inverted!

Are you saying that you leave this on cruise control for 9-12 minutes at a time? I am farely new to firmware with cruise control and I have never ran cruise longer than 300 seconds. Does your mod get hot or does the tether prevent this? How is your battery life after one session and on what mod?

This device is very simple, yet pretty well thought out and the ability to connect to any rig is becoming more and more important to many for their home and portable devices. If I still vaped flower I would be all over it.

If it makes you feel any better I don't have one.....

It's not quite like fj's cruise.
This is through a different firmware (myevic) where it's called autofire.
So it's heating at 11 watts (in my case) for however long it's running. Nothing fancy.
My sessions are one load and last about 5-6 minutes typically.

And that was funny.

@invertedisdead nor do i! What’s up @VCBud
