The RX200 just got updated to 250W. What in the actual fuck Wismec, that mod is using 18650's. Try hitting a .15 build at 250W with 18650's, see what happens.

Also 100W per cell is impossible, safely, anyway. After battery sag and drop it's impossible to get a safe, direct/flat 200W out of two cells. Don't care how good your boost circuit is. 300W on three cells is no different. 18650's, of course. With a Lipo you can get over 2,000W safely.

Looks like we're back to measuring dicks with China. Jaybo, you are such a colossal disappointment. Not to mention the jank ass 510 the Reuleaux uses.

I dont care if it hits 300w or not, Im sure 200w will be more realistic on it then the boxes I own...thats why Im interested. Plus the battery life should be much better and the amp output limit should be high...which is one thing I hated about the Cuboid.
Its 300w isnt what I care about...its the limitations that wont be as limited and the specs it has that interest me.

Well the RX200 just got a 250W update if you're looking to push the envelope, just remember with 18650's, even with three, anything over about 220W just is not safe under most circumstances that would allow you to use the actual power. Hell, 200W is barely safe.

I Need a Hohm Wrecker G2...although I did see a mod that just caught my eye...the VAPMOD SPARTANS 300W..
The hohm wrecker is a really nice mod, I've had one since February and its the real deal but very sensitive

The person doesn't matter, you could be Einstein and 18650's still have limitations.

Without testing limitations we would not grow as beings. This is how Creativity and ingenuity is grown, fabricated and tested...I choose to be more then a grey blob in the shadow of life...even if it may injure me at some point, I claim that responsibility.

I was going to get the Hohm Wrecker G2 but couldn't get past the looks, don't care for the engravings.
Yea me either...but its a work horse and no other mod has anything close to the specs and performance it has...One day I will use the chipset in a printed Flask design with a squonk...If you have mods that do it all for you now then it wont impress you, if your constantly limited with the mods you own and nothing but unregulated works then its the mod for you..plus its TC actually works very well with Kanthal/N80/ and mixes of them...I dont have another mod thats regulated that can fire down to .04 ohms let alone .007 ohms...

I really don't have a need for it now I don't build anywhere close to as low as you. The Kanthal TC is what got me interested in it.

Just in case I haven't said it enough, you guys are a bunch of trouble makers:vino: I just ordered another RX 200 from Gearbest! It will make a nice Christmas present to myself 'cause that's when it will probably be here:headbang:
On a happier note,:vapemail:I received my Alleria today ( SS fused claptons at 0.27 ohms) and at 95w it's reaching the upper limit for my old IPV 4. I'm saving the RX 200 I already have for the Boreas that will get here on Friday. If only I had a Merlin....:rolleyes:

I've watched a few video's regarding the Hohm Wrecker....it seems to work fine once you get the jest of it.

I'm not crazy about the design, too loud...but at home, who gives a damn as long as it works.

With Gearbest you have to either laugh or cry while waiting for a delivery. I choose to laugh....in public, I'll cry when I have to deal with the Customer Service.

@raymo2u I see 3F has that 300w mod, I really like the color options....You can choose any color you want, as long as it's black:wait:
P.S. Any idea what chip they're using and is it upgradeable.

Can a weinerless tootle puffer sporting a single coil at 1.5 ohms join the party??? I'm experiencing a very small slow leak around the ajc ring

This thing rocks at about 18 watts with all four air holes opened half.

That may be the problem. Your juice flow is nearly wide open, but you're vaping at low power. I would suggest having 1-2 holes full open instead to slow down the juice flow.

I'll play with it more tomorrow. The leak is very small - I'll play more with it tomorrow. The taste and draw for my taste has been best at that setting so far. I might rebuild a new coil at around 1 ohm, see if I like it. My squonker is the only coil I've used that low and still liked the vape.

The taste on this is as good as my Reomizer 2, which is incredibly smooth compared to anything else I've ever vaped.

Everything else I've tried at 1.2 or lower has just tasted off to me, no matter what setting I use. Always gave up went back to higher ohms after three days or so.

Thanks for the help Roxy, appreciate it.

Let me know how it goes. We'll get it figured out so it doesn't leak :)

I'm sure there's plenty of user error involved.

When I first put it together last night after washing I found an oring I missed and it took me forever to figure out where it was supposed to go, lol.

I'm getting a little loopy and I still gotta mix some juice so it can steep a little before I run out

Time for some softcore (this coils can't be considered porn):p

26g SS316L, 9 wraps 3.5mm ID, rayon

Boreas2.jpg

Paired with the Reliant (just because I thought it looks good):

Boreas3.jpg

Vaping it in TC mode, 200 degC, 35W

AMAZING!!!!

Best flavour I ever had from tanks or drippers.
Only thing that comes close is the Avocado, but the Boreas is much better.
Smooth and flavourful.
And to make things even better: I filled it last night, topped it this morning and no leaks whatsoever.

I'm so in love with this thing that I'm having a threesome (me, my Boreas #12 and another one arriving today from the spanish store across the border):D

Truly a masterpiece.

Many thanks Roxy and Augvape. Well done!

And it does work, just put a skin on mine not a fan of the engravings either
 
Hello all!

I have resolved my leaking issue when refilling - it was an O ring (Thanks for the advice Roxy!). But now I am experiencing another super slow leak coming from the 510 pin. It isn't a big problem yet, but I notice at the end of the day that there is a small puddle of eliquid on my mod's 510 pin. I put the Boreas on a paper towel and it is certainly coming from the 510 pin. I have attempted to screw it in more, but it appears to be as tight as it can go.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

You didn't lose the o ring in the base, did you? Sometimes it falls out.

My other thoughts are:

* check to see if any wick is in the center where the positive pin is (510 pin)
* see if you may be under wicking, leading to flooding
* see if there's a gap under your positive post insulator.

It's actually not coming from around the 510 connector, but leaking from around the pin. I am at work right now, but I plan to take it all apart tonight and I will let you know what I find.
 
Is there any place that lists the sizes of all of the o-rings? I'd like to order more spares, but I don't know the sizes.

Thanks again!

I'd like to know the best link - it could even be in this thread? - that shows where each and every Oring goes.

I've read and watched so many videos on the Boreas that all the info is seriously garbled in my head:sad:

And @roxynoodle, I left the atty on its side all night (on purpose) with two airholes open and not a drop leaked.

I'll play with it more after work to turn it into a tootling wonder atty.

So I had a little dry hit here and there today. Using the 2mm deck, 80w with 80vg. My normal build of 22g 9 wraps. Rewicked about an hour ago and I'm good so far so not sure what was going on. When I pulled my wicks no nasty burn marks or anything lol. Still try to get cotton right. I don't like a bunch of cotton. Under my coils with no space so I have a little game of tok long or too short lol when trying to get it to just touch the deck.
