StemPod by MPL

If God is the answer, then the question is wrong
Sorry if this is already answered: is the width of modpod still 24mm?

Does it fit a witcher (1 cell side by side cheap mod)? it allows for 25mm width

The Stempod is 26mm at the bottom and the silicon piece around it makes 28mm. Sadly the wicher only reads resistance to 0.2 and the Stempod coils are 0.1 something. I have one on order for an ecig.

Guess this Dicodes Dani 25, a 25mm German high-end mod would look nice with the StemPod

It goes without saying: never use these sub-ohm devices in unregulated mods.

Even at 0.2ohm you'd be exceeding the CDR of most cells on the market that we keep recommending.

At 0.1ohm you would be pulling over 40A from a fresh cell, that's outright dangerous.

Also tube mods are known to create almost perfect "pipe bombs". Some are lacking on the venting side, with undersized holes and worse sometimes holes on the opposite side of where they should be (i.e. holes on the negative side rather than the positive)

Not implying yours are bad but we got to remind our readers often.

I wouldn't advise anyone use an unregulated mod unless theyve used a regulated one first and had some experience with rebuilds and a basic understanding of ohm's law. the stock coils for stempod are not for use with unregulated mods, and I would only use a stempod on an unregulated mod if I had two .5 or greater coils installed to give me a resistance of .25 or greater

I don't think anybody mentioned an unregulated tube mod, but better to be on the safe side I suppose. I use an EHPro with my Sai and have been looking at the Uwell Nunchaku for the StemPod. I read a review a while back that said wattage is locked in TCR mode, though, so unless a firmware update has been released since then, might not work well.

I have the Uwell, granted I’m only using it in watt mode

Mine is regulated and I use it in watt mode like I stated above, all is good or this still wasn’t a smart choice?

I did 3 bowls on a live stream and guys I'm telling you, the next few hours was insane. I tried to get my mind off how medicated I was by playing video games but it only made me realize how fucking medicated I really was.

IMHO a vaporist should always have some CBD (real, from cannabis) flowers or concentrates for situations where you find yourself uncomfortably high.

Wismec RX200S Silver and Grey on the way! SO excited to own one of these again! It's going to match the Stempod well, I think.

I agree with @sickmanfraud
I need to invest in some quality CBD flower.

I actually just got some and vaping it as we speak. Stuff is amazing, highly recommended.

For testing videos now I'll probably use the cbd flower so I don't get too uncomfortably intoxicated :). Last time with the StemPod was just a step too high .... or 5 steps. An elevator.

Hoping this fill a spot for travel and camping. Anymore vaporizer's like the pax and IQ aren't strong enough to calm my pain I need more a heavy hitter.
I think you'll be very pleased. Perfect for out and about and camping. Depending on how sensitive you are to harshness if you're going for massive rips dry it could irritate (just kinda the nature of short stemmed full convection), but either way it should hold up as well as most desktops. Don't get me wrong, the dry hits are massive, I just have a sensitive throat so repeated large rips back to back can irritate. It's amazing that portables are this strong now, can get very medicated wherever you are. And the level you can reach through water is intense. So much potential with this thing... I would absolutely love to take this thing camping.

This vape is especially great at out and about because it heats up insanely fast, can get a massive rip within 15 seconds of pressing the trjgger, and be done with it. The stem locks in with the oring so no need to worry about a separate stem loose in your pocket or falling out of the vape. Easy to use with friends too and the adjustable airflow is great. Also durable with the build marterial.

Looks like it goes to 50 watts, I use 20 to 35 watts so it will function but may have shorter battery life. Tc will probably not function well on that since it doesn't have TCR, though you may be able to wrap some coils that would work with those TC settings (would have to read more about that mod but some medium guage ss wire 6 or 8 wraps may do the trick for propper TC)


If you just wanna run wattage that mod will probably do fine, I don't have one yet to confirm though

It claims it goes to 80 watts but this is more to get my feet wet and if it’s what I expect and use all the time I’ll upgrade

I am not very familiar with box mods and I see that someone ( @sickmanfraud ) has already confirmed that cruise control mode for water pipe usage comes from @funkyjunky 's firmware.

I was recently watching Dan's video where he was using the Wismec Sinuous P80 and I believe that this mod accepts the Arctic Fox firmware from the posts that I've seen. But I was wondering if it also accepts the @funkyjunky firmware as well so that you can get cruise control mode....or if Arctic Fox also has an equivalent cruise control mode configurable within the firmware.

It seems like Dan was pretty happy with his Sinuous P80 in the video that was posted and the black and silver version really looks like it was just made to combine with the StemPod to made a very attractive combination. But I also wanted to be using the best available firmware on the mod that I get for the StemPod that would be the best suited for maximizing the performance of the StemPod

Can anyone tell me what the benefits or advantages that @funkyjunky 's firmware might have over the Artic Fox firmware, or vice-versa ....Or are both of these good firmware options to run for StemPod usage?

As it was said to me from Dan himself and some others asking around, if you want top of the line go with anything that has a DNA chip. If I ever go crazy I'll grab one with that chip

GAT, I think cross-posting your post on the below thread would be a good addition to it. Let's get that thread to take off with some great mod & firmware discussion. :nod:

What size heat sink would fit plumb and flush with the Stempod?
I'm seeing sizes ranging from 22mm to 27mm
@Andreaerdna said the Stempod is 26mm
and 28mm with the sleeve
But then I only see 25mm or 27mm heat sinks! lol

If the mod is dedicated to the Stempod, I guess I won't really need a heatsink?

I'm switching the RX200S for a Sinous P80
If its not up to performance, I'll upgrade later.
I would've gotten the RX75 but it's discontinued.

Should look great! :nod:

@wall: why? It's the same kind of 510 connector. Plus the problem comes often from the mod side rather than the attachment. Of course all 510 bases are not created equal, some have very tight tolerances some don't.

I must admit I'm still puzzled by how these faults develop. Sometimes the center pin is springy as it should, yet if you screw the attachment too much it gives more contact resistance that by having it looser. I'm still scratching my head in fact...

:hmm:

Quick update for you guys:

Tomorrow we should receive the rest of the necessary materials to begin assembling StemPods. I have 9 3d printed StashPods ready to go with another 5 in the works (multiple day long prints). Because of this and the unexpected delays of the Wood StashPods till august, if anyone would like to receive their StemPod ASAP and does not care about having any StashPod, PM or email Dan@modpodlabs.com to have your order shipped as soon as possible with minimalist packaging.

If all goes as planned, we should be able to ship out units tomorrow, friday, and monday. After that we will be at champs for the remainder of the week.

Lets do this!

Just what I want to hear. The Milaana sprinter to me just too big for out of the house. The elevape 2 sadly it's batteries are getting old. Shame too when you have the coil adjusted properly it a great stealth vape.

Funny that's the mod I grabbed for the stempod. Just ordered it last night. Hopefully have it by next week. Not sure on the cruise on AF.

Getting together some info on mods there settings themes for the stempod and splinter over in diy. You should check it out. Newer info for stempod sprinter starts on page 3.

If really want a cheap dna 40 the hana modz on eBay are under 10 bucks. I grabbed one a while back before I bought the dna250.

Not sure where where I am on the preorder list. So how's is that going work? If someone decided early can we request stashpod shipped with our next order? Or maybe pay just the shipping when you get caught up?
Really not fair to expect you to ship twice. Just trying come up with a fair option since some of us would like it early.

All vape, no smoke please.
Yes, higher mass coils will require a lower TCR which in turn will mean a lower difference in temperature of the coil to temp of the load.

Well, since you were able to persuade the willing, with your implied promises of glow-free vaping possibilities with the stempod using alternate coils, you got me to go ahead and pre-order the stempod a few days ago with hours left before the sale ended. Now I'm looking forward to getting this thing in the new few weeks and trying it out!

I'll probably try using it, as-is, with your pre-installed notch coils for a few times at least; I'm not scared of a "little" glow, (but prolonged? idk?) but after I prove the stepmod to myself and get used it to, I'm looking forward to trying alternate builds to see if I can get it to vape nicely with some ceramic donuts and rods, perhaps, or some thicker pre-made coils I have lying around. Dan, it would be even more taxing on the battery cell, but maybe we can vape with the stempod using quad notch coils so nothing has to glow? (assuming 4 can fit in there? Maybe vertically oriented? The possibilities! :D )

Your stempod deck is similar to these smok X-baby RBAs I use, I'm already thinking of so many stempod-deck builds....:evil:

I don't remember if I have a p/I for tubo fw but with Arctic fox I have it on. Pretty close to stock values, smooths out the curve enough for me

Good to know about the PI control, I find that 510 atomizers almost always work better with this enabled if you can dial in some good values. I hope you'll share your exact #'s when the stempod drops, since you aren't shipping out pre-configured TC mods like how a tubo evic is. :tup:

Guess this Dicodes Dani 25, a 25mm German high-end mod would look nice with the StemPod

ebba31cec47c5ec9a3de7187f035e169.jpg

Would look nice? Yes... it's even a thick 25mm tube I think so the stempod would have minimal overlap. But the $300 price tag sure doesn't look nice :uhoh: I was shopping for a TC tube mod a while ago as soon as I found out they existed! Even dicodes' older TC-tube models retail for well over $100. Although they seem top-notch in that class of device, (not a crowded field?) with good chipset, options, user-programmable TCR, etc, I can't justify paying that much for a tube mod, or any TC mod!

It's much more modest and basic, but I settled for an ehpro 101 50w TC mod instead. For a measly 20 bucks, it does basic TC functions decently for me; it allows me to hold the button down and not burn the contents of my atomizer, it lets me adjust the temp with some control & reliable effect, that's the basics of what a TC mod should do for you. It lacks user-set-TCR, which sucks, but if your atty can work in TC mode, you can always compensate with trial & error. For example, I use the ehpro 101 with a DTV3 10mm donut, which has NiCr leads. This is not the same as the SS, Ti or Ni pre-sets. But by using the TC-Ti mode (usually pre-set to TCR # 300-400 if 1,000 is "max") in place of TCR #200, which I would set, by simply moving the temp up from low 200's F until I got good vapor, I found that 280F warms up my donut to roughly the 390-400F temps that I would accurately see on my screen if I could set TCR 200. No big deal to me. :shrug:

Hoping this thread blows up as more people get their Splinters, Modpods, etc. In the meantime I'm looking for a starter mod for the above. Will something like this work out of the box?

https://m.fasttech.com/p/8172700#reviewsLink

Any downsides? So green when it comes to mods...

Edit: it's a Joyetech but not on "the list"

So I grabbed this from the "what box mod are you using" thread since there is a lot of relevant cross-talk about the stempod as well. @dodgy_b, I personally would not recommend the evic primo mini / se, I have 3 of these little mods, and they're actually kind of nice and have some good parts, mostly aesthetic. Nice big screen, easy accessible buttons, nice grip & feel in the hand, and good looks (to me at least) but it has one major flaw: poor battery discharge capabilities :(

I bought my first primo mini SE to run a heavy dual 10mm ceramic donut RTA I made; I wanted to run @75w on a 0.36 ohm coil for a quick warmup, which amounts to about 13-14 amps to the coil. I found out the primo mini was not letting me hit my coils with that high amount of power, it was saying "battery low" very early, even with fully charged cells. I tried many batteries, 30Q, 25R, VTC5, even VTC4, this mod was not letting me fire the full 75w I wanted, even with high CDR batteries! I had to settle for 60w, and 50w at 50% charge. :bang: I was talking with @KeroZen about this a while ago and he thinks I'm just running into the limits of a single cell!:(

Partially true, but I later tried using the same builds on my other single-cell mods like a VTC mini or an eleaf pico 75w, and my dual & quad donut builds at around 0.3-0.4 ohm would fire just fine, even with an aged battery, no complaint of battery low!

I even tried running a DT Gen2 dry herb atty, only 0.8 ohm, on a newer primo mini I bought. Only 40w, a mere 7 amps to the coil with a brand new VTC5 battery, it would say 'battery low' and refuse to fire when the charge was under only 80% or so. (weak :rolleyes: lame) Plug the same atty to my VTC mini, it fires 40w easy, no problem, all the way down to 20-30% charge left , no complaints from the mod.

I was reading on the AF forums about this issue, some have speculated that the meager-sized, gold battery contacts / pins for the cell on the battery door of the primo mini are the cause of this. Compared to the big, beefy gold contacts for the cell on the VTC mini, I see this may be the case. :sherlock:

Long review, but basically; primo mini: it's a nice mod, but it sucks for hi-amperage draws! With the stempod being 0.2 or 0.5 ohm, this mod may leave you with "battery low" errors even when you may have 30-50% charge left on your cell, so I would pass on this one! Too bad... :disgust:


Oh, I also wanted to ask. RBT says the Splinter is rated for 50W max & a 30 sec. max draw. What is the StemPod rated for? I assume that both are contingent on what coils are used? So what are the rating for the stock coils? Don't want to cause any damage. Thanks!

I probably shouldn't talk too much on Dan's behalf, but if you use the stempod properly on TC mode (as intended) there should be no "max draw" duration. Whether you use it "on-demand" or have it set up with FJ's cruise mode on tubomyevic, the mod will only send as much watts as needed to maintain the set temp to the coils, and not more than needed. So if you stop your draw but leave the stempod cruising in your hand or on your glass piece, the watts will bounce low to maintain coil temp. When you start drawing again, your air flow cools the coils, the mod can notice this, and it pushes more power to the coils to match you. It's almost like "draw detection" and FJ even implemented a feature like this in tuboevic called "eco-cruise"

If you are using the stempod for heavy, back-to-back sessions, it might tax the CPU on the mod and the battery temp, to push a "device too hot" message like some heavy tubo users see, but that is quite variable, and not directly related to how long you draw.

So "max draw" would probably only apply to watts/volts mode vaping, which, we're being clear here, is not recommended for this device! :)

And just in case you do "burn out" your coils somehow, or they just get worn out, it should be super easy & cheap to swap them out. Inflicting mild damage to the coils from overpowering / overheating them shouldn't ruin the rest of the stempod body, I would hope! :o:D

510-convection vape with user-serviceable coils, I wish I could do this on my tubo-evic :brow: :bowdown:

So "max draw" would probably only apply to watts/volts mode vaping, which, we're being clear here, is not recommended for this device! :)

And just in case you do "burn out" your coils somehow, or they just get worn out, it should be super easy & cheap to swap them out. Inflicting mild damage to the coils from overpowering / overheating them shouldn't ruin the rest of the stempod body, I would hope! :o:D

510-convection vape with user-serviceable coils, I wish I could do this on my tubo-evic :brow: :bowdown:

Thank you a lot useful info there. There also some discussion on mods for sprinter stempod over in diy area. Currently I'm using a dna mod. But have order another to run AF for the stempod.

Learning this one the fly and would love if you could join the discussion over there. A lot of use are new to the mod world. You're experience in mod would really be helpful. Hoping to have a one stop place for mod settings and tweaks. A place to exchange ideals, share files and themes work towards coming up with profile's tailored towards each device.

Dans has been helpful and is ok with me using his logo for my dna profiles/FC theme pack. Once things settle's down. Maybe Dan can make us a make a custom CSV file based on his coil. Not sure whats needed in AF settings. Haven't played with software yet.
