I'm going to write up a small(ish) review on the iJoy Limitless Lux Mod. I was not given this device for review purposes I purchased my unit from Vape King fourways. It is 100% authentic.
This mod was originally called the iJoy exo 200 watt, but it would seem as though with the success iJoy have seen partnering up with Limitless Mod Co. they decided to rebrand it and add the changing cover system. The "exo 200 watt" is now the "exo 215 watt" and has a body similair to the iJoy Limitless 200 watt Box mod. I'm adding this information purely as "fun facts".
The box contains the mod, a USB cable (only for firmware updates no USB charging), user manual, warranty card and some skullchief stickers. The two included 26650 batteries come in a separate box, each battery has it's own serial which can be checked at iJoy's site. The packaging is nice, clean and very similar to a cell phone box, scratch ans sniff serial number is on the back. The adapters for 18650 batteries are held inside the battery cover with foam.
The mod features power mode, and temperature control for SS,Ni, and Titanium. You can also set a soft, standard, powerful or user set firing mode. The powerful and soft modes basically send an extra volt or subtract a volt after the fire button is pushed in order to hit really hard or slowly build up to your selected wattage. This feature is also in the LMC 200 watt box mod aswell as the Smok H-priv. The user mode is incredibly nifty and builds upon "preheat functions" seen in other mods.
The user mode allows you to set a series of six different wattages before the mod fires your selected wattage. This is incredibly useful for people like me who use kanthal coils with longer ramp ups. You can set a slightly higher wattage at the start and then taper it down over the next five bars in order to lessen the ramp up without having to blast higher volts off of the chip during the whole time the fire button is in. This allows for such great customisation of your vape while using power mode. Below is an image showing the user set bars:
The temperature control has a max ramp up wattage of 80 in case any one wants to use high watts for temp. control; which is limiting but not really overly so.
The mod runs on dual 26650 batteries in series, the iJoy batteries claim to be 4200 mah with 40 a max CDR. I don't have the equipment to test the 40 a CDR claim, but I believe the 4200 mah to be true as I logged 27 hours of actual vaping time on power mode at 78-90 watts untill it was on one bar (still wasn't flat) NB this excludes time the mod was off while I slept but does include nose picking or butt scratching.
Biggest feature for me is actually the internal design, 90% of the mod is the hollow battery cover which makes the weight perfect, it feels lighter than a rolo but sturdy. I'm actually really impressed at the thought that went in to making this device lighter as apposed to just trying to carve out a block of plastic to fit internals.
A lot of people battled at the start to get the hang of the LMC 200 watt box mod, but this firmware runs similair to what we are used to, 5 clicks on, 3 clicks menu, and 5 clicks off. Fire to select things, and up/down to change things. One thing to keep in mind, the up and down buttons do not reverse when the menu orientation is flipped.
This mod is not an upgrade to the LMC 200 watt box mod but does better the features and cons of that mod. The 26650 batteries are great, the sleeves for the 186650s are also great saves you from buying spares at the start as if you are buying this mod you probably have a married pair of 18650s. However the price on the 26650s is the same as 18650s which is a win. Just to keep in mind 26650s are larger and you will only fit 2 in a i4 charger, they also can react quite spectacularly if shorted so battery safety is important.
A few small cons for me, which are usually subjective anyways, buttons are tiny for gorilla hands like mine (but they are tight and click very responsively). The 510 is amazing and has a lot of travel but my original LMC RDTA does not fit as nicely as I would like, the 510 is also sunk in to the mod so there is some heat transfer right above the chip. The motifs of the current extra covers are not to my liking hopefully they will develop more. I feel like it was a bit of cash in over the popularity of their pairings with LMC that this was LMC branded BUT it is great device. I'd recommend this to intermediate to advanced vapers simply because of the huge batteries.
