ROFL Nice! Yeah, I can’t imagine using a dripper while trying to drive unless the PV has a huge well. Still though, 2 hours is a long time. I’m loving mine…I haven’t put it down. I’m really excited for the bell caps, too. I love the look of the glass and metal, but the glass gets smeary really quickly. I find myself compulsively cleaning it.

For someone who is not so good at reviews, that was excellent. I look forward to you getting the Ni coils for your subtank…

Aw, thanks! 
Think I could start getting some free stuff to review? LOL I’m looking forward to trying out the temp control and seeing what all the fuss is about. Probably just new-vape syndrome, but I can’t imagine anything being better than this. Of course, that’s what I said when I went from a 901 to an Ego, an Ego to a VV Ego, from a carto to a clearomizer, from hangsen liquid to DIY, the list goes on…

I wrap single coils on it and so does she. Also i run the cotton to the back well, they are separate, so you can put a full dropper of juice into it, even a little more with a slight tilt. It doesnt hold as much as the Tugboat V1/2 but it does have better flavor, not by a lot tho.

You’re saying you make the wick long, right? I haven’t gotten the PV yet so I can’t quite visualize what you’re saying. I’m sure it will make sense once I have it in front of me.
I’m in heaven. Watching Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell and puffing away on coconut custard cookie. Life is grand.

Ive never heard of that, ill grab it and check it out. I was looking for something to watch and couldnt find anything despite have 4-5000 movies on the network as well as a few thousands TV shows/cartoons. I ended up going with Parks and Recreation again.
Ill go down and wick up one of my PV and post a pic.

It just started on BBC. I loved the book and they’ve done quite a passable job with the show, all things considered. I’m quite impressed. 
Tonight was the second episode. I think the first is on YouTube.

Ok, so please forgive the awful picture as i still have no idea how to use this camera. The coil isnt so pretty either, i wrapped it right after my accident with broken fingers and instead of wrapping a new one, tonight, i just burned it and cleaned it with alcohol and a tooth brush. Continued after pic.
20 minutes into the first ep and it is quite good. I love some Britt TV, most of the shows we Americans watch were originally Britt show. BTW there are 5 episodes, i downloaded them all from a private torrent tracker, if you know what that is.
As you can see the wick runs through the coil and sits down inside the channel between the Pos block and neg posts. What this does is help to prevent juice leaking through the neg post air holes, which some would say are useless. It goes back to the other juice reservoir, this allows me to add a lot more juice than i normally could. Also i use those wide bore top caps that i showed you so it is easy to see when it needs more liquid which is a bit difficult when using the stock top cap.
Hope that helps! As always feel free to ask me anything you need.

Ahh I see. I’ll have to try that. And you know I will. Lol
I love British TV. I’m guessing this was released in the UK a while back. If I were really far behind I’d find ‘alternate means’ of watching it, but I kinda like watching it on tv as crazy as that is. I usually have one or two shows that I watch every week. It gives me something to look forward to. Lol. At least it will keep me busy till Doctor Who is back.

NERD ALERT!!! ROFL. Ive watched Doctor Who much of my life. When they did the Americanized version i got the wife into and she loved it. That is until the whole Rose thing. My wife cried for weeks, literally. I thought i was going to have to put the poor girl down…
She hasnt been able to watch it since.

LOL I figured that was WELL established by now. Hehe. Yeah, Rose was pretty rough. I have mixed feelings about Rose, but I’m guessing it’s just jealousy issues. 
There are times when I loved her and times when I just couldn’t stand her. My favorite companion from New Who is definitely Donna. I wish she had been around longer. I’ve started watching some of the old ones. I hate that so many were lost, but some of the reconstructions were good enough that I can’t remember which ones had actual acting in them and which ones were stills. I also haven’t made it very far into Old Who yet…I’m only on Two. I have a throw, two t-shirts, and the 50th anniversary monopoly game (all gifts, mind you).
K…I’ll stop geeking out now.

I forget things from time to time. Spent too many years intentionally suppressing my short term memory, hehe.

OK, so updates on the TC…
The short: If you really care about TC and that’s why you’re buying, skip this one and get something else.
The long: The temp control is known to have a few issues. The temp control works, it just doesn’t work great. Basically, if it goes to sleep in temp mode with an atty on it, when it wakes up it doesn’t read the resistance right and immediately goes into temp protection. The fix is to unscrew the atty and screw it back in to force it to read the resistance again. From what I understand, doing this over and over gradually increases the resistance that it’s reading because of residual heat. Get it where you think it should be and don’t let it go to sleep.
I put a 28g, Ni200, 3mm ID coil on my magma and screwed it on. It initially read at 0.15 ohms. I set the thing to 450F and 21w. Vaped okay, a little cool and not great vapor production, but being the noob I am, no clue if this is normal or not. It went to sleep while I was reading through the thread I linked up there; when it came back up, the resistance read 0.13 and it did what they complained about—immediately went to temp protect and wouldn’t vape. I unscrewed it, screwed it back on, and it read at 0.16. I set the temp to 480 and the power to 21 and it worked like a charm. A little too warm and foggy so I dropped it back down to 430. Seems to be working fine for now. I vaped it dry and the vapor dropped off but no burning, horrible dry hit. So, there’s that.
I’m glad I didn’t spend the money on the Ni200 coils for the Subtank. I may recoil a couple with the Ni200 wire I bought, I may try some twisted builds, I may just fiddle with it when I feel like it and stick to the Kanthal when I don’t. I still love it, I’m still very happy with the purchase, and I’m okay with the finicky TC, as it was icing on the cake for me and not a requirement. If you’re really wanting TC that performs flawlessly, look elsewhere. Otherwise, as long as you know what you’re getting and getting into, this thing is great.

Thank you again for your update, it was wonderful. I also have a update on the Dovpo line. In July they are suppose to release a new line of Temp Control Mods. Don’t know much more than that unfortunately. Hopefully this line will be better. Also to release very soon is the Segelei 75w Temp control. Preorders are being taken as we speak…

Hopefully they will have ironed out these issues with the new one. I may be tempted to get one if they do and pass this one on to my mum, sister, or bro in law.
I’ve decided the temp control with this is too much hassle for the PV or Magma…but the Subtank? Whole different story. It’s great. I was having trouble with it dry hitting—I tried recoiling the OCCs, building on the RBA, everything was giving me fits. I was super frustrated cuz it was so amazing at first. I put a Ni coil in and back to being a beautiful thing. I’ll click it every few minutes if I’m not chain vaping or go through the hullaballoo just to have my Subtank work like the champ I know it is.

Sure wish it worked out better for you. I will say that stories like your own make me leary of buying the latest and greatest till I hear feedback on them. Another reason to not jump on the bandwagon right away is many of these vendors overcharge when it first comes out. Wait a month and the price goes down. You should probably get the evic VT express kit. All these guys here on ELR seem to love them and I believe that battery propaganda is just that. You really do not need the tank so the express kit is what you need…

Meh, I’m happy with it. It’s a great little box, fits in my hand perfect, easy to use. I was going to get the same model Ken’s got, the 50w mini, but this one was only $3 more so I grabbed it instead. I don’t have any regrets. I even said to him that I doubted I would ever use the temp control, but it’s nice it is there if I decide to. I’ll deal with the quirks. LoL

Nice review/first impression!
I have one on the way for review too, I’m looking forward to fiddling around with it.
It looks like it borrowed its looks from the Sigelei 50W a bit, it has pretty much the same housing but with branding smeared all over it (which i’m not fond of).
Expect my (somewhat more extensive) review in a few weeks!
