If they had done a slight update to the VT75’s body I would have been all over that, but the new design is just-Bleh. I’m not a fan, either.

What are your thoughts on the Ammit (I take it this is the original single coil one). I like the vape from it but the juice flow control is totally janky. It is opened and closed by turning the base and mine in the fully open position causes the tank a slight wobble from the base, which I find extremely annoying. Great single coil flavor but I really like the construction of the 22mm original Merlin better. Perhaps my deck was slightly out of alignment originally. Back in the day the build deck and base were not one single piece, while a little more to fuss with was a better design (IMO).
I have heard that some of the 22mm Ammit’s wobble. I guess I was lucky. Mine don’t. Honestly, I’m not a fan of juice control. I mix everything 70/30 and prefer to just get the wicking down. I just leave the juice control wide open. The one in the picture is the 25mm single coil. I am very impressed with that tank. I get wonderful flavor, as much vapor as I could possibly want, and no issues with the construction. Obviously I can also get some resistance using SS without having to have a kabillion wraps.

Yes, same tank and I agree with you on JFC. Unfortunately, mine wobbles quite a bit; the flavor though with a 2.5mm kanthal fused staple clapton is great. (@ 3.8ish volts / I prefer single coil RTA’s with builds between .25-.40 so this tank services my needs well. I don’t have a genny type of newer RGTA’s yet but the Wotofo SMM looks like a good one.
That’s the range of resistance I like as well. I’ve got a few single battery mods now that I just like a lot. No accounting for taste, just worked out that way. With builds in that range I get some battery life. The SMM is a very nice tank too. Gotta kinda watch the “wash” of liquid after it gets below the glass line, but it also has some great flavor. There are a lot of really nice RTA’s out right now. Both in single and double coil. The Ammit double coil is a nice rig as well but I still prefer the 25 single.
That is a purdy little mod!
I have been holding out for the blue version of the Hcigar VT75c to come in stock. But whilst waiting and the negative reports about how they have used the board within this model. I have changed my mind and getting the Lost Vape Paranormal instead.
The Lost Vape design still appeals to me and although dual instead of single battery, Lost Vape seem to put have put a bit more effort into the finished product with the board, from the few reviews I have seen.

Will have to check that out once I’m on wi-fi!
But just in case you misunderstood my comment above, I was curious to the issues bluenose63 was referring to with the Hcigar VT75c!

Bit long winded PBusardo review of the Hcigar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9Bgdj862Fs
This guy really knows his stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgL0Ml928Ac
I personally think if you are paying £120 for a device, I would hope the factory profiles would at least work well, straight out of the box. Then I can set my own after some learning time. The Hcigar just seem hard to read, temp settings out and poor layout.
May be making a mistake changing my mind for for the Lost Vape Paranormal, but time will tell.

That Paranormal is really nice. I don’t think you can go wrong. I can’t agree more that with the price point on the VT75C one would anticipate a fully finished mod. After I ran the case analysis and downloaded the theme that the Therion ships with the VT75C is fully functional but again, I had to finish manufacturing the mod. I guess to be fair the theme is pure choice and that is what the DNA 75C is all about. PBusardo also did a video with a representative of Evolve and the gentleman talks about Evolves decision to go to the 75C. I agree fully with his assessment as I love both my Therion and my VT75 but the navigation of the DNA75 is just a PITA. Press this three times. Then press this and this. Then stand on one foot, put on hand on your head and press these two buttons. Having an intuitive menu is huge for me.

Sorry I didn’t get back to you straight away guys.
Totally agree with you and @bluenose63, you shouldn’t have to input all the thermals, resistance etc. with a brand new device straight out the box. Yes we can do it but for what it takes you’d think they would set one up and just input the data via programming and that be part of the assembly process. Lazy imo.
It is a nice looking device though, probably have to get one when i can. 
Grim seems pleased with his anyway, said there was a bit of gapping on the battery door but apart from that he’s pleased.
Nice bit of kit either way.

Obviously I’m not an HCigar salesperson but I do enjoy the mod. Per aesthetics, I like most mods, each for what they are. I don’t make many fashion statements with mods, lol. Where I make my judgement is which one do I pick up and use the most. Between the fit in my hand and the vape I get in TC, this one is even winning out over the SX Mini G class. It has been my grab and go device for about a week now. The real review would be about a year down the road after the newness wears off and durability can be factored in. Time will tell.

I like my Hcigar mods and they have and still do serve me well, i have the vt133 and the vt75 and both are in my rotation.
I use my dna mods for tc, mostly, and all the other mods i use for wattage.
I do like the aesthetics of the paranormal and the frame is stainless, it has better access to the battries than the Therion and with the interchangeable panels you can customise.
But, definitely, time is the factor in these things, although i will say, lost vape have some great well built devices and are seeming to last.

That’s real good to hear. I have a VT75 and VT75C. I was hoping they would last awhile.
