In this week the Dicodes start to sell the 2380 mod. Let's have a look for it... is it worth to buy? Will see...
1. The FINISH.
It's just PERFECT. Really perfect, with no cons. Everything is matched perfect, and perfectly finished.
The main diameter is 23 mm for the tube and 23.7 mm for the up/down rims. And it works - 2380 is very handy.
The full set looks like a set of puzzle:
just to support:
* 18350 mode,
* 18500 mode,
* 18650 mode,
* 2x18350 mode,
* 2x18500 mode (?).
2. FEATURES.
Here is very very good:
* power: 5-80W (40-80W ONLY with 2x18350),
* coil resistance at 40W: 0,2 - 3,5 ohm,
* coil resistance at 80W: 0,4 - 1,5 ohm,
* max. voltage: 12V,
* max. current: 15A,
* coil temperature control,
* "hot-start" modes,
* "heater protection" modes,
* vaping statistics.
For me it is more than enough, even experienced vapers should be satisfied...
If you look at the OLED display (after the puff):
you can see that it shows:
* battery status,
* power,
* coil resistance.
The menu is one-button handled, with a memory of last selected function (you don't have to go through a whole menu to run last selected item).
New and nice option is vaping/battery statistics. We can check:
* number of puffs,
* vaping time,
* energy taken from battery,
* battery capacitance.
The 510 head is very solid:
with plus pin on the spring - so each tested atomizer worked with no any problems.
3. VOLTAGE SHAPE.
The first generation of Dicodes mods used the high frequency voltage modulation (200 kHz). How is now? Let's see...
Measurements were done in my typical test set-up with 0,7 ohm microcoil on MutationX atomizer and Tektronix TPS2012 oscilloscope.
It is VERY WELL, better than in most other VW mods, because the voltage rises very softly. Just PERFECT!
4. EFFICIENCY.
Having the setup with 0.7 ohm coil we can also check if we get what we set. Below I compared:
* theoretical voltage what should be on the coil for a given power (calculated according to the P=U^2/R formula),
* real voltage MEASURED on the atomizer pins by use of multimeter.
No comment... Everything is perfect, mod usually adds a little more voltage than is needed ;-)
5. TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Is described here: The Professor. Description refers to DANI Extreme v2 mod but 2380 works exactly same.
6. POWER BOOST and HEATER PROTECTION.
* power boost mode was not described in the manual at this moment so I didn't test it.
* heater protection - as above.
7. SUMMARY
In one sentence:
at this moment I don't know such good finished tube mod, with such a good performance and with such reasonable price!
The picture in 18500 mode with Dani Extreme v2 (18650 mode) and PV (18500 mode):
i have the 2380 T, i agree with you regarding the finish and precision. Unfortunately, i have a huge problem with the mod that surfaced one month after use, i get shocked. i literally get shocked, electricity or heat, i don't know. but i get a shock from the bottom (not button) half of the mod. it is so painful that i dropped the mod once and broke my tank.
ReplyDeletecurrently. in order to be able to use it, i have a tennis racket grip wrapped around the bottom half.
This sounds dangerous... I will ask Polish distributor of 2380 if he knows something about it (possible reason).
