[KZOR]

Anyone planning on stocking the Council of Vapor Wraith 80W Squonker kit in the near future?
I would love to give it a test run.

[Huffapuff]

Oh yes This looks like a quality squonker mod that would suit me just right.

 

[Viper_SA]

So, has anyone got one yet? Any thoughts on it yet? Really itching for one, but can't really afford to get one. Will break the piggy bank if it's really awesome though.

 

[KZOR]

I ordered mine this morning. Should have it by tomorrow or Friday. Will let you know but the reviews are great.

 

[Cespian]

Ordered one as well. Its very pretty but hope its good quality. Particularly fond of the rubberised finish. One thing I am concerned about however is the availability of replacement bottles.

 

[Viper_SA]

Yeah, just watched a few videos on the Wraith and Therion, not totally convinced that they can compete with a Reo yet. They do add the advantage of being able to fully utilize clapton coils etc. that a mech simply doesn't do justice, but I see too many niggles for the price tags at this stage. Budget crisis averted for now.

Was about to order one, but then: no SS TC

@piffhighwaytraveller .....not sure where you were looking but ......

 

[Viper_SA]

On the one website I visited it does not specifically mention SS, but on reviews it does. A tad confusing.

Moved to Who has Stock thread so Vendors can contribute!

Hey guys

Just checked a unit and yes it does support SS in temp mode.

Spare bottles will be available once they are released which should be soon. It does come with a clear and black bottle in the kit.

Im really keen on this one. Ready to pull the plug for it. Anyone have one so far who can share some views on it? maybe a size comparison to other mods? Thanks in advance

 

[Jeez]

Need this in my life. I may jus sacrifice some other stuff this month n go for it

Thanks for that Rob!!!

 

[Cespian]

Just got mine.

So far, first impressions...
I think I do not ever want this thing to leave my hand. It just feels right. The finish is really good, it is comfy as hell, absolutely no machine oil on the RDA and no factory dust. Surprisingly heavy though, but no problems for my brute strength. The bottle feels a crap load better than dripbox. So far, the only con for me is the chip, as from watching reviews, I know that the menu and settings are going to piss me off, although it may take me back to 8bit console days (up up down down left right select start - just to increment the wattage lol).

I will play with it as soon as I get home this evening.

 

[bjorncoetsee]

Best combo!!

I have to say I am very impressed with the BF Atty that comes with the Wraith... it's the first BF atty I have had that doesn't leak... not even one bit! The only issue is you need to press the bottle softly rather than a hard press because sometimes the juice hits the splash guard if you do. The other thing that is awesome on it is the airflow... you can even get down to a MTL hit and fully open...

I took out the single Clapton and replaced it with Dual 24g 3mm Nichrome coils. 45 watts at 0.31Ω - This setup has great potential!

 

[Viper_SA]

Fairly impressed with the Wraith atty, just wish it could take a standard 510 drip tip. Gets a little hot when chain vaping so close to the atty. Running a single coil, 0.5 ohm, 3mm ID. Ribbon clapton.

 

[Trashcanman3284]

Just ordered one. Will be my first squonker! Can't wait to give it a try

 

[Cespian]

Ok, I've spent enough time with my Wraith to give an opinion.

Pros:
1. Very sexy.
2. Well built (not flimsy like most mods coming out these days - yes I am talking about you Kangertech and Smok).
3. Rubberized coating.
4. Shallow RDA for better flavour - deep juice wells are not all that necessary for squonking and I like that COV have acknowledged that.
5. Regulated
6. Auto adjust feature
7. Bright display that isnt compromised by surrounding light
8. Absolutely no rattling - even on the huge-ass button
9. Huge bottle; roughly 10mls - I filled it with a 10ml syringe and there was still space for some more.
10. Reasonably priced for its quality and functionality.

Cons:
1. Splash guard/anti-spitback on RDA collects juice and sometimes creates a juice film... sometimes I feel like I should just warm my ejuice in the microwave and drink it:



2. The battery and bottle are covered by the same flap. When I change batteries, I need to hold the bottle in place.
3. No internal charging - I mean, its a single 18650 device. I do charge my batteries in the D2 but its a mission to remove the battery in this device and I probably would use the internal charging if this mod had it.
4. The cap on the RDA is pretty short, and the metal ring (airflow adjuster) gets pretty warm when chain vaping - basically slow roasting my lips.
5. I am pretty sure I am not squonking with the force of a Hydrolic Press. I noticed that juice does trickle through those airflow holes by the 510 connector:



6. WTF kind of menu is this? Seriously, I don't care much for temp control and fine tuning, but something as simple as altering the wattage should just be as simple as clicking up or down.
7. No ventilation in the battery compartment.
8. Once the bottle is filled, it is difficult to seal the tube part again without drenching yourself in juice.
9. Might just be my mod, but this gap on the battery/juice cover from the pressure of the battery and bottle (OMG it kills me ):



Verdict: despite its cons, I really like this one and I am definitely keeping it. Hopefully COV will create a V2 which addresses some of the more prominent cons like separating the battery and bottle, a few ventilation holes for the battery compartment, 510 adapter for driptips of our choice and a better chip.

Initially I ran a dual coil 8 wraps 24g NiCr. I am going to try a simple single coil or less wraps to reduce the amount of wattage/amp draw as this is a single battery mod and battery life is key to compliment the convenience of squonking.

Sorry @Dubz - the Sigelei will now be parked for a while

That was a spot on review @Cespian! 100% on the button!
