After a long wait on the pre sale I received 1 of the 2 Slices I ordered. Sadly, after vaping on it for about 10 minutes the fire button started to stick. I called Hohmtech and they were very responsive. They emailed me a pre paid label and off it went back to Hohmtech. After they received my mod I received an email stating that it would be another 7-10 days before they were able to fix my mod. My red one had also been delayed due to problems with the dye they used for the mods. I expressed my dissatisfaction and to my surprise I was transferred to the Director of Operations Ben. He was very cordial and asked me what I wanted. I said I just want what I paid for, a black Slice and a red Slice. He asked if it was ok to send out 2 brand new mods and I said sure. While I am happy with the way Hohmtech handled themselves I feel like I have to bring this up in a review because ultimately it is a con. Ben explained to me that 2% of the buttons were made to thin and as a result of that they were getting stuck under the mod and they needed to be replaced, Two days later I had both the black and red Slice in hand.
As you can see they are great looking mods. I think the red is especially bright and vibrant while the black has an understated classiness to it. The fit and finish on them is very nice. When I first received both mods the battery doors were a little clicky but they have broken in and are quite solid right now. The chipset is the same exact one they use in the G2. So if you like the G2 then you're going to love the Slice. It performs the same exact way and has the same menu system. The Slice uses a 26650 battery and goes up to 101w. It comes in 2 variations, the SE or Standard Edition and the LE or Limited edition. The LE has 3 amp Charging and I believe the SE has 1 amp charging. I never charge my mods internally but I tried it out in the Slice and I was able to go from 0% to 100% in 90 minutes. Also the 3 amp charging is a bit of a moot feature because as far as I know there are no 3 amp charging bricks as of this writing. Those are the only internal differences between the 2 mods. Externally there are some branding differences but nothing that will make you pick one over the other.
Unfortunately there is no 18650 adapter available. Battery life is subjective and has a lot of x factors but for me I can chain vape this mod for 3 or 4 hours in TC mode at 65w and 500f. TC mode is where Hohmtech products really shine as they can TC any material. The best way to vape this mod is to put it in xxx mode and adjust the FSK Curve. The menu system has a bit of a learning curve but it's not steep at all. I think most people that don’t like Hohmtech products have a problem with the menus and dialing the mod in.They wind up getting frustrated and sell the mod or put it away. Take your time getting to know this mod and you will be glad you did. Of course it has all the traditional settings for TC like SS, Nickel, Titanium, as well as non traditional TC settings like Kanthal and Nicr. TC wit Kanthal you say? Yes it does Kanthal in TC quite effectively. Forget everything you know about Kanthal not being able to do TC and just try it. Trust me it works.
Getting back to the mod it has 4 buttons, a menu button, a fire button, and a +/- button. The usb port is under the +- buttons. You can access the regular menu by clicking the menu button 3x quickly. By doing that you will be able to access all the different coil materials as well as xxx mode and digital wattage mode. Hold the menu button down and then hold down the +- button and you can access the Insanity menu. In the Insanity menu you can access the upgrade port, FSK Curve, Screen rotation, Auto TC Control, and Firmware Version. The most current firmware is version 1.2.3 . One important thing to remember that I know frustrates a lot of new G2 owners is to always remember to hit the fire button before attaching a new atty. This resets the resistance back to zero so when you attach a new tank you get a proper reading. If you don’t do that you will get a damaged atomizer message.
The mod feels great when held and has a nice heft to it. The paint seems real nice and durable but I would really like it if it had a silicone sleeve available. The mod comes with a usb cable as well as a great instruction manual that you can tell is written by people who vape. So far all of my tanks sit flush with no gaps. While this mod vapes beautifully in all the pre set modes I would strongly suggest getting to know xxx mode and the FSK Curve. It really does a nice job with any kind of coil. I have to say that once all the issues were worked out that this is one of my favorite mods. It’s like having the performance of a G2 in a much more compact, attractive package. I love my G2 but my Slice is just so much prettier. If this mod got lost or was stolen I would definitely run out and buy another. If you decide to buy this mod lets hope all the kinks are worked out by then. Oh yeah the batteries, If you're going to buy this mod I would stay away from the yellow MXJO’s. They just don’t perform well in this mod. I would go with the Basen or Hohmtech batteries. They both perform on the same level for me. All in all I think Hohmtech is doing a great job innovating new products especially at this price point. God knows in the past I have spent more money on mods that haven't vaped nearly as well. The SE goes for $59.95 and the LE goes for $69.95. As I said earlier if I had to purchase this mod again I would probably save the $10 and get the SE since I really don’t charge internally. Well I hope this little review was helpful and feel free to ask any questions. If I can I would be happy to help.
