The Helix

[Brian]

I see The Helix is finally available. Has anyone done any reading on this? Other than the 4000 mah battery, I'm not seeing anything special about it. It's 3.7V with the 4000 mah battery. There is a sleeve so you can use RCR123As for 6V. What am I missing about the hype on The Helix? Granted, 4000 mah will last a long time between charges, but it probably takes several hours to charge.

PS - I'm not bashing this mod - just wondering if I'm missing something.

Same here....

Just another tube shaped, big battery, side button mod. Yes to great battery life, but agreed on the charge time.

This is a mod made by Cisco as well. I know he put a lot time into it, but I am going to pass for $120

Thinking about making this my first big battery mod.

I have no desire for another 3.7V unit. I'm sure it is made well and that Cisco did a great job. I'm also sure that it will sell well.

Good to hear it's finally out on the market. That battery life is perfect for backpackers and summer fun. I hope he does well with it and keeps it around. The price is pretty shocking however

I tried 14650 and 18650 mods and setteled on 14500 as the proper size .The bigger ones seem to hit the floor more often.

I saw a lot of ppl reviewing this at vapefests live feed, everyone seemed to love it, maybe the price of the silver bullet will go down more now? Hope so

I dunno, but not only is it a 4000 mAH battery, but its a 4000 mAH IMR high drain. I'm still on the battery I got it with a week ago at vapefest, on its factory charge, reading 4.01 and 3.89 under load. So it not only lasts forever, but its consistent through that whole length of time. I don't have any other IMR over 1500 mAH. And even the non-IMR 18650s are only up to 2600 or so.

It looks really heavy, but nice. the 4000 mah sounds even better..long life without having to change batts so much. the price is just too high

I would guess one of the things that everyone is liking is that fact that it uses a variety of battery setups.

This shows what I mean: HELIX REVIEW
