Just got my new Alien today.. in all silver... Yaaaay......
I got min in December, Its my only mod (sue me I'm broke more often than not) and its held up very well. over 100k puffs (including the resets) and numerous drops. Not so much as a broken glass on my tanks! Even the paint is ok! I mean yeah some scratches and nicks, can't avoid that with drops, but not the pain't loss most folks have been having. I LOVE my Alien and its my wish for you to love yours as much as I do mine!
I hear you! I know about being broke most of the time. I had to take out of the grocery money to get my Hohmwrecker and it's the only top line mod I own so far. I've got some little iSticks, but they're pretty much glorified Egos in a different form factor. Those little things are tough, though. One of em is over a year old and the paint still looks brand new.
I wanted an alien for a long time but I kept reading about all the people that were having trouble with em and just got scared. If I was in a position to have several mods I would probably take a chance, but as it is, I can't risk getting a dud.
Pictures?
Somehow I ended up with 3 of them, one my wife uses, one my fatherinlaw uses, the other is my work beater. I've had no issues with any of them, the one I use has a rough, dirty life being I work in a truck garage. Even though I have moved on to higher end devices at home, my little alien has impressed me and when it does finally shit the bed I'll miss it.
Actually, the Hohmwrecker is designed and built in California. Only the chip is made in China.
The Smoant Battlestar is made in China, but I've only read of one instance of somebody having trouble with it and I'm not sure that wasn't user error. It's built like a tank, tc works awesome on it, and it's one of the most accurate mods on the market. It sells for about the same as the alien.
If one company can build a quality, lower priced mod, they all SHOULD be able to, but it's not the case.

Congratulation..
Read great things about the OhmWrecker.. they are expensive, which is fine for their quality.. I dont like the tiny oled screen though..
i am totally spoiled by the horizontal, large screens where u dont have to tilt the mod to read.. plus, i wear glasses, so the small print is hard for me to read....
But...but, that's why you wear glasses, so you can read the small print!
As an owner of both Aliens and HohmWreckers, if my Alien died tomorrow(been using it for 8mo+) I'd replace it with another G2. If my G2 died, I'd have another ordered before day's end.
$65 for a G2 vs. $40 for an Alien is a non-issue, having used both. Just food for thought.
But congrats on the Alien. My wife claimed the silver one the day it arrived, and I've been jealous ever since lol.
Congrats on your Alien. I have 2, and for 6 months they have worked flawlessly. I would recommend a silicone sleeve if you take it outside a lot or for work.

If I remember correctly, it's the finishes and in-unit charge rate, on standard vs limited edition. You can find a coupon code sales for G2's at Vapor Cube, or catch a sale at Ecig.comHey, I did a google search for the G2.. but can only find it 4 sale on their website 4 $130.... whats the difference between the limited edition
and the standard one? Also, it looks like they did a chip upgrade?
Also if the wrecker died and you sent it back to hohmtech they would probably fix it even if the warranty was up as long as the damage didn't look intentional.As an owner of both Aliens and HohmWreckers, if my Alien died tomorrow(been using it for 8mo+) I'd replace it with another G2.

They are constantly upgrading the firmware, the newest version I believe may have something to do with temp control, battery life indicator accuracy, and allows 171 watts even in watts mode. It's easy to upgrade with a micro USB cable and downloading the installer on their website, there are also YouTube videos showing the process.Hey, I did a google search for the G2.. but can only find it 4 sale on their website 4 $130.... whats the difference between the limited edition

Use code G2FLASHX1 at Vaporcube.com to get 50% off the SE. I got one from there, one from Mainevaporroom.com for $60(out of stock right now), and one from a member here.Hey, I did a google search for the G2.. but can only find it 4 sale on their website 4 $130.... whats the difference between the limited edition

Got cornfussed between my Slice and G2.Use code G2FLASHX1 at Vaporcube.com to get 50% off the SE. I got one from there, one from Mainevaporroom.com for $60(out of stock right now), and one from a member here.
The only difference between the SE and LE is that the symbols are machined into the LE. Neither support on-board charging. The usb port is for updates only.

That's the Hohm Slice, which uses a 26650. I have 3 of them, 1 red LE, a silver and a black standard. I use them at work, and an Alien at home, with Tobeco supertank 25mm's on all. My G2 is in my apocalypse stash.Cool.. Thanks.. Have u tried hohmtech's other mod? I think it's 101w and has the same TC chip... costs way less.... I think it's
supposed to be geared more to the average consumer, not the experienced vapors....

I typically vape in the 35-50W range, so the several Basen and Hohmgrown 26650's last me my standard 9 hour work day, sometimes and hour less if I stay planted in front of the computer all day.I think I would actually prefer having the G2 for the extra power, though I have never vaped over 80w, I still like to know it's there.
Not crazy about the use of 26650 cells either.. would rather stick with devices that use 18650.. so I don't have to stock different batteries..

Hey, that's why there is such a variety to choose from, to fit everybody's needs and aesthetic desires. I'm also a flashlight junkie, so I already have a bunch of different batteries to contend with, so checking out new devices is not limited by battery type.
