I was pleasantly surprised to see my tubo has made it's way to my door all the way from Switzerland to California, only 4 days!
Unpacking, it was alot of stuff
(including plenty of glass) packed tightly and securely in that little Vtwo Mini box.
Open it up, put in a fresh battery, load it up and go...pretty easy, and the results did not let me down! I had high expectations for this little vape from following this thread, and it did not disappoint!
Tried my first session with a small load of jack herer @ 360-370 just with the bent stem, and it was very tasty, and started giving plenty of smooth vape after 2 or 3 light hits. I finished the session at 390F, and I started feeling the hot convection air on my lips, and my flowers were about spent, so i emptied, reloaded with some cherry pie, and then attached my trusty large 18mm hydratube to the tubo, cruising between 375-390F...and
wow so nice...such luscious, voluminous vapor. This thing is easily
matching or even
exceeding my arizer EQ at similar temps.
I'd love to give a much more detailed review, post up more pics and make some videos, including the downsides
(yes there's a few, but relatively quite minor, covered well in this thread already, and vastly out-weighed by the pro's)
But for now, I humbly submit for my tubo'ers, on my first session, my cat Cushy (aka Young Cushlet) wanted to join me and inspect the tubo for his approval. Good news: he approves
alright here is the teaser of the TUBO vtc dual:
heaterside is the same.
in two battery configuration it can push up to 150watts (have it at 130w), really fast heat up, no possibility to overwhelm the heater. as said before, it is slightly taller than the tubo evic and obviously fatter in two battery configuration.
as far as customization goes more or less the same is possible still. there are limited colors of the evic vtc dual for inside the wood. price is higher due to more work involved and higher mod costs.
hope you like it
regarding whips: i can send a whip or even two (and other small accessories) in a bigger envelope @ mailing costs that are much lower, just fyi. ($3.80 if i remember correctly)
@FJ thanks for creating all these tubos for us!
Just now I get the tubo evic, and the dual tubo is out!
But I don't regret it, for as long as I waited, I'm so happy to be tubo'ed out now.... waiting longer would have started to make me anxious!
This will easily become my favorite flower vape now...
I'm quite impressed on how well you've implemented your wood cover and casings on the different type of hinged battery door on the VTC dual. The removable magnetic battery door on the evic and your wooden case for it on the original tubo is one of the easiest and more reliable battery door / covers I've seen on a temp control mod (if the magnet's glue doesn't fall off
) and it's quick to change batteries.
The hinged doors I trust slightly less, I have a big cuboid with a battery door that never fully snaps tight, I wouldn't trust the batteries to stay in if I dropped it. Your VTC dual seems more snappy and secure. That small gap in the wood covering the metal body by the hinge on the double battery door is the only eye-sore.
(no big deal)
Your battery trays seem to be sliding out and snapping in pretty easily. I bought a VTC dual and set one up for a friend for dabbing use, and I was un-impressed with sliding battery door, which I felt was very rough and took way too much effort to remove and snap in. Yours seems to glide and slide. Maybe I just got a bum VTC dual? (my friend did
)
Given a choice between 1 or 2, I don't see much reason to use the single battery tray, but it comes with the mod already. Maybe useful for those unpaired batteries like
@RelaxedNow said, or if you want to continue with an epic tubo session, but you only have 1 charged battery left over, and not 2?
FWIW, it would be nice to make a tubo vape with
joyetech's primo 2 mod, it has 2 amp charging, which helps alot to charge through the mod (only 1 amp on the VTC dual), and it's shape and form is very close to the vtc dual, has a similar battery door, and more attractive, metalic colors and finishes.
But since the myevic build that you have used for your tubomyevic is not compatible with the more recent primo mods, that pretty much rules it out for you ATM
, unless you want to use your hacking and software development skills to dig into that? (maybe you can fool the tubomyevic to load onto the primo and work with that mod?)
It would be cool to make a "tubo-arcticfox" software to replace the tubomyevic, (it has a few cool features that myevic is lacking) but maelstrom isn't allowing that, like we discussed, and you already invested your time in tubomyevic....
yada yada, ramble...vape on guys n' gals
