I LOVE this video. I have been into vaping for almost as long as e-cigs have been out, and this video is the most nostalgic videos I've EVER seen. I LOVE this. You really don't need that little automatic 901 hanging from your mouth anymore huh? haha. I've even seen you say your against 901s in recent videos. The times have changed.
It's really weird seeing this video now that things have progressed so much over the past few years. You were right about the big battery mod becoming the future of Vaping, I wonder what the next big thing will be outside of perfected tanks of course...
the screwdriver is a great device. works brilliantly.
Don't be fooled into thinking it's similar to the Nomad, I've tried a Nomad and it should be called "Makes you Mad"
The Nomad flashes at you if you draw too hard, if you draw to many times in a row, when it thinks it's overheating, when it's going flat. It just flashes at you ALL THE TIME and doesnt smoke!! because it has the same microprocessors as the 901 battery!
The screwdriver just works, it's a brilliant piece of kit.
I know this is an old video but I like the mechanical aspect of push buttons and over complicated mods. BUt we all started on a 501 or 901 and I do miss the hands free.
does this only work with a liquid tobacco "juice"????....will it work for hemp???....are there any items like this that use rechargable batteries.....mahalo for the review....aloha, forest
In this review, is there any mods done to the screwdriver? I saw another video of ciscos atomizer mods he sent you, but was wondering if the performance in this review was out of the box, or with mods.
The good news is that there was an important court ruling today that effectively said that the FDA couldn't outright ban ecig sales. A federal judge ruled that the FDA can't stop shipments of ecigs, a policy that they just put into place.
It's too bad that Big Tobacco has so much influence over the decision makers.
This device would be the perfect foil to the "let's use second hand smoke as a reason to ban smoking everywhere" crowd, yet it seems so unlikely that it will ever hit the mass market because the product isn't owned and endorsed by RJ Reynolds.
well... that depends on if you want 3.7v or 6v ... the Silverbullet is bad ass. I also love my screwdriver... i would say the SilverBullet is a little more sturdy.
You're right about the future. The E-Cig market is still fairly new and I'm willing to put money on how fast it'll advance after a year. (pending FDA bans) Batteries will last longer, liquids will produce more vapor per drop, and design possibilities will be endless.
I couldn't bare to use something so powerful, awkward, and expensive but the screwdriver a step in the right direction.
Also, like Keenanmcfarlane mentioned, you do sound like you're breaking up with it.
I'm leaning toward the screwdriver (his accessories pack is amazing with 4 atomizers) and the silver bullet seems like a 99$ casing and you have to buy everything else.
Battery life and throat hit is important, I like vapor but it's not the biggest deal...
the silver bullet is pretty giant , managable but still pretty big , more importaintly than that , is it performs like a CHAMP. 6v is a really great way to vape. The new and improved SD that totally Wicked is selling is really great , it uses a bigger battery than the original SD did. The SD is still 3.7v but the bullet and the prodigy are both higher volt , which will produce more vapor and more throat hit.
Thanks... tough choice... do you prefer the silver bullet to the prodigy too?
One of the reasons I was concerned about the form factor is both of my current 'pvs' are about to crap out and I will be carrying around a big shiny metal phallis to vape from (I'm an often to constant vaper)...
I like your views my man. You kind of remind me of the classic Curtin/Aykroyd SNL skit that was a 'politically correct viewpoint' of sorts the way that you went back and forth with the Screwdriver vs the DS901. You were actually commenting good on one and then sort of bashing it seconds later! That is what I call "honest reviewing" brother. Did you ever think of either going into sales or acting? Anyway, I dig your E Cig reviews. You helped me pick out the T-510 and I love it,
Since their atomizer is so lightweight though it will taste a little better than a screwdriver. I wouldn't recommend a screwdriver to a newbie. You'd have to be insane to. They would fall off their ass!
I just got my 10 dollar e-cig from dealextreme
You know me grimm, kgonepostl's always trying new things
And honestly. I've been using the 10 dollar e-cig for the past 4 days grimm! Isn't that some weird shit?
I wish someone had come along and told me to just buy a Prodigy and get it over with, because after all the money I wasted on junky Chinese parts I would've rather have just spent the 150 bucks, bought a few CR123A's and been done with it.
If any newbie ever asks me what they should get, I'll tell them to get ONE starter kit to make sure they're in to the idea, and then jump right to a Prodigy, Protege, Silver Bullet, a Chuck, or something they mod themselves.
i could not agree with you more Chef , but some people want a "cigarette" looking PV , the girlfriend uses a 510 and doesn't want to move up to a protege' or a chuck or anything like that. The 510 is all she needs.
Yeah I could see that. That's exactly why I say they should get a starter kit of some kind first to make sure they're in to it. If someones feels comfortable with what they started with, then that's freaking awesome. I just had way too many batteries crap out on me so I'm a little bitter, lol.
hi nick, thanks your videos are very informative. im going to buy the titan from totally wicked and there are two types of battery, manual and auto, i know you prefere auto, but are there any differences between them other than a button to consider?
I am thankful that the vaping world has a respected reviewer like Grimm to keep us updated. Unfortunately there are people out here like Warped that make the vaping community look like immature, uninformed morons who can't make an educated decision regarding our preferred vaping devises. Warped can continue his silly rant because thankfully, all the vapors that I know wouldn't listen to his shit for 2 seconds before hitting the ignore button. Carry on Grimm
Is it possible that you don;t sell the helli whatever because it is just a cheap flashlight from deal extreme with one of the most horrendously designed atomizer connections ever made in the entire history of e-cigs?
Seriously, what kind of drugs were you on when you thought up that design?
I HATE the screwdriver. I think it is a butt plug with an atomizer connection and I would take a screwdriver over the helli crap any day.
It's a rare day when I find myself having to agree with you DW, but in this case you couldn't be more correct!!! However, rather than drugs, it would appear that our friend here is drinking the same koolaid that seems to be infecting others around this community (i.e. GG)
Lets get out of here and leave this idiot to his rantings....
i know... i said that in my video , i said "it produces good vapor" i NEVER said it produced "MORE" vapor than a regular 901. Christ is that all you were going after?
also... when you resort to name calling , you have already lost the argument. Enjoy your hellivapor or whatever that hideous device is you are selling.
6 - what false claims are people making? i certainly didn't , i feel it's worth every penny it costs
7 - thank god , everybody remember ... you can't like the screwdriver because it came from a $15 flashlight. Which before Trog decided to modify , was just a $15 flashlight.
what's your deal man? the SD is a good , reliable device , Trog charges what the market demands. If you don't like it , don't buy it. Have you even used the screwdriver?
You look like Seth Rogan! HA one question, would you consider that more of a at home ecig? I just couldn't picture myself having that in my pocket all day.
when i had it , i took it everywhere , it fits in the palm of your hand very nice. usually 1 battery would last me a really long time. I just brought the screwdriver and some juice and i was set for the day
How many 30ml bottles of e-liquid do you go through in a month with the 901 and how many do you think you'd go through with the screwdriver? I'm just quit smoking and am thinking of taking up vaping, but if it's too expensive, I'll just suffer a few more weeks of nicotine withdrawal instead.
it's really hard to compare the 2 , the 510 is amazing , small , manual switch with a crappy battery life. The SD is bigger , longer battery life , but is a total juice HOG, plus the switch is on the bottom which some people might not like. i might recommend the 510 over the SD at this point... but i don't know i have been craving the feel of an SD lately ... i was tempted to pick another one up
the mini is the standard that comes with the screwdriver , it will fit a dse-901 atomizer , basically an inexpensive generic atomizer that performs really well. They have small carts so topping up every few drags is a must. The classic atomizer is a DSE-801 or "penstyle" bigger atomizer , bigger cart and usually bigger vapor.
Did you have any luck hachrel4? If you didn't send him an email, you can get the addy through the page that is in the description box just click on contact.
When i looked on the website it said out of stock but trog did have a kit in stock and i think at the minute he has some bits not sure though best to email.
I know they are not making any for about a week whilst they move premises.
Cheers Lee.
P.S I can't wait for mine to come nick :D Have you regretted selling it?
