Hohm Slice by Hohm Tech

This isn't a full review of the Hohm Slice, just some first impressions formatted into a mini-faq of sorts.  A full review will be coming along in a couple of weeks.

What is it? – In a nutshell the Hohm Slice is a single 26650 101 watt regulated box mod with temp control. 

What sets it apart from other TC mods?  It can be used with nickel, titanium, stainless steel (all types), nichrome, tungsten (used with ceramic wicks) and Kanthal A1.  Yes, temp control for Kanthal.  It also seems to be a bit more user friendly than other TC mods I own or have used, but again, I have spent most of my time with it in power mode.  In power mode it works as just well as any other regulated mod I have.

Does the temp control really work with Kanthal?  Yep, it sure does.  For the most part far I have been using it power mode with a TFV8 Baby Beast using the Baby T8 coil at 90 watts, but I did play around with the same tank and same coil in TC mode so I can verify that temp control does indeed work with Kanthal.  I need to play around with it a little bit more when I have time to actually sit, dive in deep and really get it dialed in.  I also want to use it with my own Kanthal coils rather than drop in coils.

How does it perform with other wire types?  So far the only other wire type I've used is 316L Stainless Steel.  It performed flawlessly at 40 watts and 480 degrees.  Even though I have switched to SS almost exclusively for temp control vaping I do still have some nickel drop-in coils and I still have some titanium wire so I plan on checking it out with those as well.  I don't and won't use coils with ceramic wicks and I don't have any nichrome, so I probably won't be checking temp control performance with either of those unless I decide to buy some nichrome wire.

How does it look and feel?  The actual mod casing is very sturdy feeling, but the buttons rattle.  They rattle more than just a little.  I have had mods with buttons that rattle a bit in the past, but picking this up and shaking it almost sounds like you're shaking a maraca.  Okay, slight exaggeration there, but only slight.  The button issue has also been noted by guys who have reviewed this mod on YouTube.  The battery cover is held on with four strong magnets.  The finish is baked on ceramic rather than being painted or powder coated, so it should hold up well under normal use.   Its shape, size and weight with a 26650 in it feel good in my hand.  It is roughly the same size as one of my Sigelei 213s or a Reauleaux 2/3 in 2 battery mode. 

I have another mod I'm getting ready to run through some testing, but I hope to have the full review of this mod done within the next couple of weeks.  In the meantime, if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask and I will answer.
