Ok lets see here:
Just get the wicking right on the Ammit 25. They tend to leak when the wicking isnt done correctly. After my 4th try I got it right and no more leaks. Just watch the videos. They explain it nicely.
Now that is a sweet rta!
Looks like a very popular rta - most online stores are out of stock... I'll save up and wait for it to become available...

I don't buy more than 1 of anything because I like to try new things and vary my routines. The only thing I have 2 of is the Zeus. In my opinion it's just brilliant. Gives a nice dense vape for a single coil and with a nichrome at low watts your batteries will last ages as well. Being leak-proof is the cherry on top. Definitely recommended.
So I got my stuff

That Cylon really does look awesome. Let us know what it's like.
The nice thing about the Cylon is that if you use 40W, it will not go over it in VW mode, which I think keeps the temperature constant (not up or down). I guess I"ll get used to it...
I'll have to admit - this enables me to have custom build coils when I get the Zeus RTA eventually. In TC mode, it supports Nickel, Titanium, Stainless Steel, TCR, and TCR Curve.
VW Mode has Min, Norm, Max and VW Curve.
Settings have Brightness, Time, Display, Timeout, Screensaver and Factory reset, which is pretty cool for a mod.
The wallpapers suck. I personally prefer a really dark background, even my computer has a solid black background. Or a night sky with stars, galaxies and the moon.
Overall, I give it a 9/10 for vaping experience and 8/10 for aesthetics... A little heavy but once you get used to it, you'll forget about it eventually. Just like I did with the Battlestar.
At least I can taste the ice in my strawberry cream and I no longer have a "burnt" taste because the pico can't process it as well as the battlestar / cylon can. Has to be something to do with an higher wattage mod (where the pico is only 75w) and the Cylon is 218w, not forgetting to mention using two batteries at the same time.
edit: Wattage mode is the same as Vw mode. Gives you more control options

Battery wraps were as easy as a pie!!!! Didn't need tutorials either.
I just used an hairdryer (someone advised earlier in the thread) and it was as easy as eating a pie...

Thank you @RainstormZA .
I don't understand though, you say no wattage mode but then you mention it has VW - which I assume is variable wattage mode? The mod is also a 218W mod, so that tells me it has to have a wattage mode? Or am I missing something?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't VW (variable wattage) the same as a straight wattage mode? The watts won't vary on their own, so the mod will hold whatever wattage you set regardless of coil/temp/voltage etc. Which also means the temp will vary based on the watts you set, the mod won't attempt to hold it. The min/norm/max should be a sort of "hit strength" (like the "punch" feature on a DNA board) that will give an initial boost of watts to bring the coil up to temp so it will essentially produce vapor quicker. So the "max" setting will boost the wattage initially quite a bit before it settles at your set wattage, so the coil heats up very quickly, while the "min" setting will let the coil heat up on it's own at the wattage set.
This is how I understand it anyway. I could be a massive chop so someone jump in if I'm talking rubbish again.

Nice, I've not seen a mod that monitors both batteries and tells you which is low.

I'll give you a fair verdict - it's heavier with the batteries in. Lighter without. I just put it into my pocket and I do have big pockets so I can't really make a proper verdict as everyone's pockets are different sizes.
It's not that heavy to hold but might be heavy for a pocket. Unless you wear jeans, then it should be fine - I used to slip the battlestar at the back of my jeans pocket.
As for "feel" overall, the skin is actually quite comfortable to the touch and to my surprise, it doesn't really get that hot in Norm Mode. Max Mode does get hot so I changed the setting.
Ok it's lighter than a bottle of 750ml Bonaqua still water, if that helps you get an idea of how heavy it is.
LOL thank you, that definitely helps! Much appreciated
Another shot of the Cylon

Hi, @RainstormZA , a bit worried about the mismatched batteries. Havea look here please:
https://www.ecigssa.co.za/importance-of-married-batteries.t48486/
Regards
The link is broken (EDIT: eish, Tapatalk is full of rubbish)... Checking it out on my PC now.
They are the same make, 18650 batteries. Just one isn't fully charged... I just ran it out and it tells me to check my power. This mod needs two batteries to run.
My Battlestar ran fine on both...

Do you have an external charger @RainstormZA ?
A few of my dual battery mods read like this, they indicate one battery is discharging a lot faster than the other. But when I put them into my charger they both read the same voltage, so they are discharging equally. In the unlikely event that the mod is discharging one battery faster than the other that is a problem as it's putting more load on one than the other.
I have the exact same experience, my minikin kodama (dual 18650) and my geekvape blade (dual 21700) both indicate different discharges and battery levels, but my charger reads them within a few % of each other. I don't take too much note of what the mods say, I rather trust the charger. I will however always recommend using an external charger to keep battery sets married, because although the mod might say it can do "balanced charging" it will never balance charge as accurately as an external charger.
Actually I was using the battery in the pico before I put both of them in the Cylon
I will do a proper full charge tonight before I go to bed so that both are equally charged
Yes I have an external charger for two batteries. But no voltage reader on it...

Ok I decided to charge the batteries for 2 hours at the same time.
Discharging at the same time. Hoping these are OK now.
Will give more feedback tomorrow
