Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Titanide is above all a singularity in the little world of the vape. The French brand intends to honor the ancestor of the model as it appeared the day after the vogue of the Cigalike, at the time when the vapers amateurs and enthusiasts had set out to evolve a brand new product for stop smoking, adapting it to their new passion.

The atomizer was already beginning to augur what it has become today, a boiler concentrate with or without a tank, ventilated and reconstructible according to the findings in relation to the materials of the resistive and the evolution of the capillaries. Drippers and other genesis began to supplant the disabled cartomizer by its non-evolutive and disposable characters that have finished discrediting it, among lovers of objects more effective, versatile, and durable.

The mod of the time was the meca, in which one could insert the famous battery 18650 which until today, ensures the energy supply of the greatest number of boxes or mods electros or mecas. The tube 22mm is therefore naturally adopted in the 2011 / 2012 years by aficionados of any country.

Despite a meteoric and technological evolution (we would say nowadays), allowing many settings, settings, memorizations to our mods or our boxes, to vary and control our style of vape by adapting it, safely, to our different atomizers, it is a simple vape without a net that is practiced only in meca and that claims to remain as such with some good reasons, that make sense and which only mecas are depositories, we will return.

With a Titanide you steam in Rolls, you steam beautiful, you steam serene. The manufacturing is simply perfect, the materials chosen are simply ideal, the design and design are simply successful and fully functional at all levels. The mod meca is simple, practical, reliable, the Titanides mors are of course so, and they are guaranteed for life.

You can also customize them to your artistic creativity or let you guided by the options offered by the brand, unique person, unique tool. Here we observe the Thémis concept which combines the main attractions of the mod Meca, in addition to a waving, ergonomic and pleasing to the eye, an optimum conductivity, no worry of oxidation of the constituent elements, an ultra simple adjustment to adapt your batteries and your atos to the length of the mod, a seamless lock and finally a minimum maintenance for permanent and unalterable performance, the visit begins.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

A Themis is composed of 3 main parts of which one is broken down into elements that we will have the opportunity to detail below.

The barrel first, it is made of titanium, and machined in the mass. It receives the battery of 3,7V according to its diameter, 18650, 14500 or 10440, the 3 formats available at the moment.
Laser engraved, a T-shaped degassing vent, is present in the middle, at the finest part of the body of the mod, a signature coupled with an essential utility, the pleasant and indispensable are inseparable in the spirit of the creators.

themis-was

Of wavy design, concave in the middle, it allows an assured grip, combined with a morphological originality inspired by feminine curves, again, Titanide joins the useful to the pleasant.
This central piece has two threads at its ends, for the top-cap and for the lockable firing system.

The top-cap is also made of titanium (gold-plated for the Gold version), cut in the mass, its base is notched with air vents for the few atomizers that require it. In the center of the 510 connection, a positive pin, inserted in force in an insulator resistant to high thermal amplitudes, ensures the optimal conductivity of the battery to the atomizer, it is made of brass.

op-ap

The top-cap although composed of three parts is not disassembled, the positive pad is inserted into force through an insulator, itself fitted in the center of the metal part.

Each Themis is declined Gold or Titanium, the top-cap will be gold plated (as the ferrule and the contact pad of the bottom-cap part (switch), or titanium, treated as the body and the shell.
The bottom-cap is equipped with the switch system, a locking ferrule, and a pusher with an abalone inlay, which makes each mod unique.

Vapelier's note regarding functional characteristics: 4.8 / 5 4.8 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The functions of the Themis are simple, setting the maintenance of the battery once the ato mounted if necessary, you equip and vapor, point. You will only have to adjust the length between the contacts (by removing a ring from the positive connector of the switch) if you choose a battery button top, with a positive pole protruding. The flat top will immediately be adaptable.

themis-10

It is possible that an atomizer with the connection 510 a little short is not in contact with the positive pin of the top-cap, you can move it towards the ato, it is simply nested in force in the insulator. The Themis has excellent conductivity barely 4 thousandth of volt loss observed at the top-cap between the two elements in contact (no screw 510 / pin positive) via the Metix (0,0041V).

Vapelier's rating in terms of ease of use: 5/5 5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

In use the Themis is the simplest tool that is, you equip it with a battery corresponding to its size, an ato ready to go and you switch.

So let's talk about what will condition the quality and safety of your vape in meca: the battery. Little choice for the 14 and 10mm versions of diameter (650 and 350 mAh), you will opt for a rather tight ato whose resistance value will not exceed 0,8ohm to zero. Indeed the performance of these batteries do not allow to vaper below 0,8ohm and 1,2 values ​​to 2ohms will be even better tolerated, both in discharge capacity and autonomy.

The 18650 is the most frequently used, although it is of size sometimes imposing for the ladies. It is nevertheless the battery best adapted to the vape in Meca, for the Themis series in 22mm of diameter of top-cap. However, be sure to choose a battery with high discharge capacity peak and continuous, it is expressed in amperes (A) and usually inscribed on the plasticized insulation. 25A are generally suitable if you do not intend to vaper unless 0,2 ohm, 35 A are recommended for security reasons.

You alone manage the remaining charge of your battery, it is a mechanical obligation, to which we comply very quickly. When dealing with an IMR 18650 "high drain" 35A CDM battery, the autonomy indicated in mAh must not exceed 2600, otherwise it is either an overestimation of CDM or an overestimation of autonomy in question, distributors tend to embellish performance “on paper”.

To know the true values ​​of CDM and mAh, of your recent battery, you can (must) consult this site which lists them almost all: Dampfakkus.

In the long run, by dint of charge / discharge cycles, your battery will collapse, its internal resistance will increase, the effective induced charge will drop (from 4,2V it will gradually drop to 4,17, 4,15 ... so on. ) and at the end of ± 250 cycles, your battery will charge and discharge very quickly, a sign that it is time to send it to recycling and buy a new one. you are also strongly advised to recharge using a good quality dedicated charger, we find around 45 € with 4 cradles and very useful features like those of the Opus BT-C3100 V2.2, a pearl of the kind that you will find for example here: https://eu.nkon.nl/opus-bt-c3100-v2-2-intelligent-battery-charger-analyzer.html

The internal chemistry of batteries is more or less stable, IMR are among the most reliable at this level, Li Ion are also widely used, but hate deep discharges, prefer to guide your choice with the advice of a competent trader, ( whoever sold you your Themis will surely be).

Depending on the model, you can end up with a button top battery, it becomes rare but there are some. It will probably be necessary to make an adjustment in order to insert it and correctly replace the components of the mod. To do this, insert into your tube through the opening of the top-cap, a flat screwdriver to the switch screw, you remove by holding the bottom-cap firmly from the outside. You will notice the presence of washers around the pitch of this screw, remove one to compensate for the button cap of the battery.

If you are using a RMA Magma (ato Paradigm) with a very long 510 connection, you will also need to remove a ring and force the screw on top-cap to ensure a flush mount.
The ferrule is screwed and unscrewed according to your desire to lock or not the switch mechanism, a foolproof system.

The maintenance of your Themis is easier, as none of its components is oxidized, you just keep clean the different threads that allow assemblies / assemblies. The switch mechanism is normally already greased, avoid touching or removing grease during your interviews, it ensures the smooth running and its mobility.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Reasons to choose a mechanic are not missing. First, there is no risk of failure, so you can count on him on any occasion. It is not afraid of humid or stormy atmospheric conditions, falls or polarity reversal to the installation of the battery. It always delivers the same smooth quality of vape because it is the proper of its battery, from which the only signal arrives to the atomizer. Its simplicity of use and maintenance are suitable for all.

Choosing a Themis is even more advantageous because all the attributes mentioned above are appropriate for it, but it also benefits from excellent conductivity and is guaranteed for life. The series offered here contains 2 small pieces that will prove perfect for discretion and refined for selected moments in female hands.

You will also adapt Titanide drip-tip (titanium or gold plated) to your current atomizer. It is a jewel in the strict sense of the term, it is well worth its price and just as much as its Top Mods.

Good and genuine vape to you.
