I purchased this stealthy BLACK Petri Lite mechanical mod at www.dotmod.com for $120US. I'm in no way affiliated with the company. This product was purchased by me 100% and not sent to me for review from any vendor. The matte GOLD Petri RDA (pictured) is not included, it was purchased by me separately. Yes, it's yet another Dotmod product review from me, this time a mechanical mod. Before I begin, I just want to stress that the use of this product is for those seasoned & experienced vapers who are already well educated in battery safety, have good knowledge in ohm's law, and have had experience with these types of products in the past. This review isn't education in any of those fields. If this product interests you or you feel like you would like to know more about the use of mechanical mods, I highly encourage you to watch beginner videos on YouTube, search right here in this forum for help, or maybe even ask a member for guidance. Mechanical mods are nothing to be afraid of and you definitely shouldn't be the slightest bit discouraged. A few of my favorite reasons for using these types of devices is not being "limited" by a chipset and having the easiest, most reliable vaping experience there is, period. This device will work no matter what; no check atomizer warning, no glitches due to system failures/settings, and no error codes. Just push a button and it fires, simple as that. When used maturely and properly, mechanical mods are a wonderful way to vape. To find out what I think about Dotmod's Petri Lite, let's begin now.. .: PACKAGING :. One (1) limited-edition 24K gold-plated brass drip tip Two (2) springs: 1 original Petri spring (light throw), 1 super heavy silver-plated beryllium copper spring One (1) mini Allen key for button assembly One (1) certificate of authenticity .: FEATURES :. Hard-hitting, innovative naval brass/anodized aluminum composite button design Precision anodized aluminum tube and body 24K gold-plated threading and accents 24K gold-plated copper contacts Hybrid connection Fully masked internals (no cleaning, ever) Precision micro-engravings Beautiful color finishes Individually serialized (inside of the contact, apologize for the focus) .: THOUGHTS :. Using this mod for some time now and knowing the ins-and-outs, it feels just as great in the hands as both my Dotbox's and gives me a satisfying vape every time I hit that 24K Gold button. The soft texture of the tube feels sweet in my hands, it's hard to describe. Hard, agile, sturdy but soft and lovely to touch, Dotmod bearing that "high end" effect once again, on the eyes and to the hands. The overall maintenance is very good. It's very little to maintain compared to my other silver, copper, and brass mechanicals due to the oxidation of those metals and constantly having to clean the contacts for superior conductivity to achieve the best vape experience possible. Having the 24K Gold on the contacts ensures great conductivity, great hits, less time maintaining; more time enjoying your delicious juices and blowing milky clouds. .: VERDICT - woo-hoo or boo-hoo? :. Pleased with the consistent solid performance, how the fit and finish has held up till now, it's a definite WOO-HOO from me. I highly recommend this mod to anyone just getting into mechanicals, it's beginner friendly and also great for the seasoned veteran vaper **Again, as long as you're using it safely and you don't push your batteries too hard. Always use atomizers with PROTRUDING 510 pins, definitely NO SUB OHM TANKS with this product**. I have no doubt vapers will be pleased using this device and adding it to their own collection.

Alcohol is frequently found in flavorings, so it is not uncommon to find eliquids that have alcohol listed as an ingredient. Alcohol doesn't dry out your lungs... it burns-off quickly and doesn't hurt anything. I frequently soak a coil in Everclear (pure-grain 150-proof) alcohol to get the flavor of a bad juice out of a new-ish coil so I can use another flavor. If the alcohol hadn't completely dried (evaporated) by the time I use it, it will give the new juice a "flat" flavor for the first few puffs, but hasn't given any ill effects. PG is Hygroscopic (absorbs/attracts water), and is therefore a humectant (used to keep things moist). PG will readily absorb moisture in your body (lungs) and gives you a dry mouth/throat feeling. This is why vapers should drink plenty of WATER to combat PG robbing you of moisture as you exhale. Alcohol in eliquid (which is usually very small amounts, like 1%) does not cause this problem, compared to the much higher concentrations of PG (ranging from 10-80% of the total volume of the liquid).

My wife still loves the little unit, but it seems to be aging fast. The fire button has begun to not work intermittently, and the battery seems to be loosing it's staying power. She has to charge mid-day now so it does not die while watching TV before bed. It used to last all day. So what does a guy do???? Just got a new one in the mail from the VT Store today......

A solid well written review. Sent using the Vapor Talk App • May we meet upon the level & part upon the square.

Nicely done review. I especially like all the details you added, that's usually a rare thing. Well done!

That is one each sharp looking mod! Hmmm @walt got you hooked on TC? I'm thinkin you caught on to the benefits yourself, lol. I admit I'm hooked. I always wanted to smoke the way I can vape with tc. Of course when I tried I just gagged. I just love being able to take draws as long as I want. What a relaxing activity. No lack of fog either, lol. Anyway, love what you are doing with some of your mods. Classy!!!

Taking the Beemer out for a test drive! [emoji41] Hohmtech Hohm Slice Limited. I dropped it and put a small nick in the front of it, from there the paint started flaking off. I stripped it, sanded and polished it, then found a tie tack I had from my days as a Sales Manager at a BMW Dealership to cover the ding. Perfect! And since@walt had got me hooked on TC mode the Hohm Slice a great mod since I can use TC mode with any wire.

Appreciate you taking the time to do the review. Very nicely presented! Questions I would like to see referenced in a review if possible include: 1. What's the menu system like? Easy to navigate? Logically presented? Not too many crazy button combinations to remember? 2. Battery life? That's always rough to address, I know, maybe compared to some popular mod with the same number of cells? 3. Temperature control. I'm a huge fan. How does it compare to the smoothness of say YiHi or DNA? 4. Any quirky stuff? e.g. battery doors that flop open after a couple of months use, juice finding it's way into the inside of the mod, battery compartments that chew away at the battery wraps, jumps out of TC on occasion for no known reason. I know it has to be very difficult to answer everybody's questions and or anticipate them. I really like the fact that you emphasize feel in the hand. A lot of reviewers glaze over the feel and that is a make or break for me at the end of the day regarding if I will pick it up or no.

I believe that it's the cinnamon that blisters your mouth. I went through that when I first started vaping. My taste buds were so dead that it was the only flavor that I could really taste. After about a week I noticed blisters on my tongue. I switched flavors and they went away. Now I only will use cinnamon for a small tank once and awhile for something different but that's it. I haven't had any problems with any juice sine.

I follow a simple rule for myself. I don't vape anything that I have any kind of reaction to.....even if that reaction is "huh...this doesn't taste right".
