Very cool and unique. Could you possibly post pics of it along side some other mods you might have? I'd like to get a better idea of its size.

The white knight is more of a pearl white.
The finish is not slipperly almost a rubber feel to it
Ohm's meter spot on
5 hours of use no issues...

How is the TC mode on it? Specifically interested in the SS TC mode.

I have only used the knight v1 for about 5 hours.. out of the box the chip preforms great..I no longer do tc so at least for now I have not tried those modes. The manual does state tc is measured in joules and can be set to to auto or manual. The chip produces a great vape more powerful than the xvo clone more in line with the vape I get using my envy22 and evic vt. No hicups or errors from the chip in the limited use.

The cap over the battery end can be removed if you want to. It leaves a battery cap exposed that looks like the xvo with more vent holes.

Solid 1 piece construction with no rattles. My unit is a pearl white. The manual states "Zinc alloy with ceramic baking" Weighs in on heavy side.with battery installed 9 oz

The buttons on front are placed farther apart than on the xvostick.

Spring loaded center pin

The unit has fired every time I pressed the button without isues

Will you be trying this with an RDA?
From looking at the picture, it does not appear that a traditional RDA will be possible with this, unless you also have some sort of an extender to bring the RDA up far enough to use it. It appears that any attempt to do this will require an adapter that is 22mm wide, and at least half as tall as the tank, in order to get the RDA into a usable and comfortable position.

How is it with the fire button position?
Looks awkwardly positioned, like a ring finger press.

After 24 hours of use as soon as these knights land in usa I will buy the black unit...heck being so cheap might buy a couple of them. ( I like to have spares even though it's been a long time since a mod has failed me)

Now for the negatives or a better word... the differences compared to the other couple of dozen mods I have.

1) When charging through usb it works just fine but the whole screen stays lit when connected to usb.

3) It's a tad heavy weighing in at 9 oz with a battery installed (no atty)

It blocks airflow to many tanks. Just a warning.

It can be adjusted to not block airflow ... There is a hex screw in the 510 plate that can be loosened to shift the plate and change the way the tank aligns with the mod ... I have not had any problem getting airflow with ANY of my 22mm tanks and this mod.

Overall, for the money, it is a solid performer that works as advertised in my testing.

I have run numerous tanks without needing to adjust the plate....no issues with blocked air flow
 
I've got one of these. The temp control mode is strange, can't seem to get it into this auto joules mode that they mention in the instructions. Instructions say "left + right button: calibrate the current resistance to get a proper joule automatically" All it does is set it to 60 joules and it cuts out with a dry coil message when you try to vape it. Have to manually set the joules lower to get it to work. More of a temp protection mode than a temp control mode.
Works good in wattage mode. They fixed most of the issues I had with the XVO stick. Screen on the side vice bottom, Atty cage at the top so you can still get at the airflow ring on your atty. Only issue they didn't fix is the battery vent holes are still on the top by you face and they made the dam thing heavier than the XvoStick

Yeah, the instructions don't seem to be completely accurate. The "left + right button calibration" is nothing more than setting the initial resistance when you first install a new coil. By automatic joules, I "believe" that they mean it automatically goes to max (60), but temperature control should kick in before the coil burns ... so I don't think it was designed to auto adjust, for example to 32.5 joules, so I am glad it is possible to manually set the joules lower. Essentially, I think it's more of the ramp up to temperature than an automatic joules setting. The higher the joules, the quicker it will get to your set temperature. Personally, I like a slower ramp up, but I wish the instructions reflected it this way instead of calling it "automatic".

I don't have an XvoStick, so I can't compare the weight of the two. I do agree that the venting should have been a little different. It would have been great if they had mounted the battery tube the other direction, it would have fixed all the concerns with the venting.
 
The problem with the temp control is when you vape it just cuts out rather than varying the joules/wattage to maintain the temp. You have to play with the joules setting to get it to a point that it doesn't cut out. So you are just vaping in VW mode not true temp control. It's actually 87 grams heavier than the XvoStick and it's a heavy mod. It's a 100 grams heavier than a Evic Mini

Mine doesn't cut out like that, mine seems to start at max joules and then regulate from there. If I'm not vaping it cuts out almost immediately when it gets to temperature. If I am vaping, and there is enough airflow to keep the coil cool, it will continue to vape as long as the wicking is keeping up.

Thanks for the info.
Going to have to try it with a couple different tanks/coils and see if it makes any difference.
I'm interested to see the results of your testing. I would expect it to be consistent with mine, but so far it doesn't sound like it. What coil/tank are you using, the Talos and the included SS coil, or something else?
 
Cubis tank with the 1 ohm ss coil. Tried it with the .6 ohm ss coil works much better. Just noticed that it is only rated to 1 ohm in temp control maybe that has something to do with it. It's still not as smooth as my other temp control mods, kinda pulses a bit if that makes sense. It does work with the .6 ohm coil so at least it's not broken. Will have to give it a try with my mini triton and a NI-200 coil to see what that's like. All in all it's a good little mod the Cubis tank is an excellent fit. The black colour even matches. I got it because I really like the format of my XvoStick but it only does NI-200 temp control and I wanted the SS coils for a cleaner flavour.

That is really strange, I am using SS in the Talos tank with the build deck, and it is smooth and consistent, no pulsing. My build is a simple 5 wrap, 316L .45ohm and works beautifully. I'm going to bet that the 1ohm coil is inconsistent because it's right on the edge of the limit, but the .6 should be perfect I would think.
 
Might be because the cubis .6 coil is a MTL coil so less airflow, but it works fine on my Evic Mini. In the end it's usable just a little different. Might have to play with the joules a little to slow the ramp up down to try and fine tune it. Overall I'm happy with the MOD it will replace my XvoStick as my work MOD.
Thanks for all your input.
