Stealthvape Christmas Shipping Dates 2021

It’s the time of year at Stealthvape wherein we celebrate the Fullness of Being, and in doing so Things can start getting a teensy bit weird.

Summoning the Corpulent White Bearded Red Demon of Yule has always been a hazardous art, but we reckon we’re just about getting the hang of it this year.

Maybe. Perhaps. Who knows?

We pride ourselves on navigating Cosmic Disruption adroitly, so we’re deploying contingents to constrain the impending Chaos of Conveyance. Pay attention and avoid unecessary woes.

The Last Day of Shipping in 2021 shall be Wednesday 22nd December.

The First Day of Shipping in 2022 will be Tuesday 4th of January.

Burn these dates deep into your mind.

Whilst we are Cunning Mages and blossoming Warlocks of Wisdom, indeed some things still lie outside of our control. Rest assured we shall be doing all we can to manifest your desires in a timely manner, but Royal Mail would test even the Greatest of Master’s Himself. Your patience may truly well be the pathway to peace.

So enjoy the burgeoning festivities our friends. . As ever, thank you for  all your support throughout the year. It really does mean a lot to us. Be happy. Be free and Behave!

Much Love from all at Stealthvape HQ.

United States Shipping Update

United States Shipping

Good news and meh news.

In December 2020 the US government amended the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act (PACT) to prohibit the online sale of e-cigarettes to children. The legislation, effective from 26th Match 2021, expands the definition of e-cigarettes to include electronic “nicotine delivery systems”. As a responsible vendor we must comply with PACT.

Therefore, from Friday 26 March, Stealthvape Ltd will no longer export to the USA any device that, through an aerosolized solution, delivers nicotine, flavour, or any other inhalable substance, including:

E-cigarettes
E-hookahs
E-cigars
Vape pens
Advanced refillable personal vaporizer
Electronic pipes
Drip Tips
Refills / Pods

The electronic components we manufacture and / or supply collectively known as “Mod Parts and “Rebuildable Supplies” we believe not to be covered by this legislation and will be shipped as normal.

So, the news in briefs: we’re still shipping pretty much everything modders will need such as Evolv boardsBattery Tubes and 510 Connectors.

As the dust settles on this increasingly bizarre set of circumstances we’ll continue to update you when (and if) we learn more. But for now, it’s business as usual.

Thanks for your continued support. You’re awesome.

PACT, Sack & Crack

PACT, Sack and The Crack: United States Shipping Update.

PACT

By now most of you will be aware of the impending fall out from recent legal enactments across the pond. The Preventing Online Sales of E-Cigarettes to Children Act whilst not entirely new, finally snuck it’s way into United States legislation buried deep within a document passing initiatives that would be difficult to oppose. A sneaky, but genius move.

The new law does two things:

1: The United States Postal Service (USPS) is instructed to create regulations prohibiting the shipment of vaping products (including accessories and parts thereof) to all domestic residential addresses within the United States.

2: The insertion of vaping products into the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT) Act (The PACT Act is an amendment to the older federal Jenkins Act). This places category products under the remit of the ATF and places onerous taxation and reporting requirements upon vendors with serious criminal penalties for non-compliance.

The definition of the PACT Act is so broad that it goes well beyond the scope of definitions used by the FDA Deeming Rule and is unrelated to the FDA’s Tobacco and Vaping regulations. Literally anything that can be used as part of a system to create an inhalable aerosol is potentially covered. Intended use is so far an untested legal defense.

Sack

So what does this mean for your Postie’s sack? Well, initial reactions appear somewhat bleak. Fedex, UPS, DHL and many other major shipping players have followed the course taken by USPS and have deemed electronic cigarettes to be prohibited items, most definitely within a Business To Customer context. Buying a product online in the U.S and having it delivered to your door easily may now be a thing of the past. The landscape is about to shift dramatically.

The Crack

But what about Business To Business shipping and ordering from overseas? The answers remain as yet unclear. As a company who sends thousands of mod parts to United States customers each year, this is something we care about a lot. We have contacted a DHL representative directly and are awaiting confirmation of their official stance and policy. Until then we will continue to ship as normal and will update you as soon as we have a concrete response. But given the volatility and uncertainty of the present situation, we are strongly advising U.S customers to place any orders now.

We’ll do everything we can to ensure our usual seamless shipping provisions and keep you updated with news as soon as we have it.

Mutate and Survive.

5 Ways To Get The Most From Reflex

5 ways to get the most from evolv reflex

Make most of your Evolv Reflex

You’ve got your Reflex and you’re loving it. Want to know how to keep it tip top?

Follow our quick and easy tips for getting the best from your Reflex below!

reflex evolv uk

1: Choose the right liquid

Reflex works differently to every other vape device, tightly controlling aerosol particle size, airflow and temperature. User safety is a number one priority. The temperature of the coil and the aerosol produced is controlled to minimise the creation of unwanted byproducts.

Many eliquids contain components which only volatalise at a temperature where unwanted compounds are formed, such as acetaldehyde from overheated VG which gives off a sweet aroma or taste. Reflex minimises your exposure to these hazardous substances, and as such your usual liquid may not taste exactly the same.

2: Put the fill plugs in the right way !

This is absolutely crucial. Although relatively difficult to do, if the plugs aren’t facing the correct way, then the airflow and vape isn’t going to work quite the way that it should. Reflex utilises groundbreaking pressure and velocity analysis technologies, and putting the plugs the wrong way round means it isn’t going to deliver the power that you’re after. Again, nothing bad will ever happen, but you’re not going to have the best of all possible puffs.

3: Don’t overfill

Sounds obvious, but don’t put too much liquid in when you fill up the pod. As with all pod devices, if you overfill then there’s two possible unwanted things that can happen. Firstly, if there’s too much liquid in the pod, when you replace the fill plugs, the pressure may force liquid into the coil and cause a little flooding. This may escape through the inlets in the base of the pod, creating the illusion of a “leak”.

The second thing that can happen is that if there’s no room for a little air inside the pod, then what’s known as a “vapour lock” may occur. Wicking depends upon air pressure, and if there’s no air inside the pod then liquid may not flow as easily into the coil. This may potentially dry the coil and produce a weak vape. Don’t worry, you won’t ever get a dry hit, but your experience isn’t going to be the best that it can be.

4: Stay Tidy

Remember to mop up any spillages or condensate after every refill. We recommend gently dabbing any residue with a paper towel. This will ensure optimal performance and keep your Reflex in tip-top condition.

5: Keep the battery topped up

Reflex uses state of the art battery management and power delivery and is incredibly highly efficient. You’ll be surprised by how long it seems to go between recharge cycles, but there’s no harm in keeping it topped up where you can.

So if you’re near a computer or USB charger, why not give it a five minute charge when you can? Remember the device only takes roughly 40 -45 minutes to charge from completely empty, so you’ll be impressed with how much you can get in it on a cheeky little top-up charge.

Reflex: Easy to use, easy to look after!

That’s all there is to it!

Follow these simple tips and look at our How To Use Guide and you’ll be set for the best Reflex experience around!

Curves Are In Baby !!

Escribe Battery Curves, TFR / TCR Curves and Mod Thermals Downloads

Curves are in baby!!

That’s right. Our awesome downloads section just got even more awesome.

We’ve created three brand new sections which are going to be fantastically useful. You’ll now find dedicated areas for TCR/ TFR Curves, Mod Thermals and Battery Discharge Curve CSVs. All in one easy to navigate place.

We want people to have the best possible experience when using our wire. By doing this we’re giving you the tools to achieve the best results when using a DNA mod in temperature control.

So what exactly are these mystical curvy things? 

Read on and we shall explain below.

TFR/ TCR Curves.

A TCR Curve (Temperature Co-efficient of Resistance) is a plotted chart depicting mathematical rises in a material’s resistance coefficient of the material’s temperature. For example, a Ni200 coil when heated will rise in resistance quite markedly. This rise can be predicted at a given temperature using whizzy maths, and a temperature controlled capable board will be able to use this information to maintain a temperature at the coil and prevent dry hits. It is the basis of all temperature control vaping. Props to Evolv for coming up with that sorcery.

A TFR (Temperature Factor of Resistance) is similar to TCR, but is based on actual observed measurements rather than pure mathematics. We built a complicated and probably quite dangerous rig and measured the TFR of our wire, giving us accurate real-life TFR data. Lars from Steam Engine (a genius and a gentleman) then used this data and translated it into downloadable CSV format to be used with DNA devices. We want people to have the best possible experience when using our wire. By doing this we’re giving you the tools to achieve the best results.

All our TFR/ TCR files can be found int the “Wire TFR Files” section of the downloads page here.

If you want to find out how we got our results, read our blog post on it here

Mod thermals

In order for Temperature Control and Replay to perform as accurately, efficiently and effectively as possible, the board needs to know the parameters in which it is calculating. The marvellous mind of the DNA constantly analyses, calibrates and controls a multitude of variables, and in doing so needs to understand it’s operating environment. The temperature sensor is situated on the board, so the DNA uses data collected from case analysis to accurately predict room temperature and the starting temperature of the coil. It does this by a real room temperature measurement being entered at the beginning of case analysis and then monitors board temperature during charging to understand how the internal mod temperature relates to the actual room temperature. Put simply, the board more accurately determines the starting temperature of the coil with this information.The information from TFR/ TCR curves can then be applied, using the case analysis data as the starting temperature point. This allows for greater accuracy in temperature.control and gives you the best vaping experience possible.

In this section of the Downloads facility we present you with Mod Case Thermal data for our devices. Feel free to download and use them according to your will.

Battery Discharge Curves.

 

Escribe has a function called “Battery Analyser” which allows you to run a cell discharge cycle according to cell cut-offs and various output wattages (the most common being 40 watts). The analyser carefully plots the voltage decrease as the cell is drained and generates data that can be outputted in .csv format. These curves can then be uploaded to your device to ensure the board is monitoring and reading the current state of your cell correctly whilst you are using it. Whilst this won’t magically add another 10,000 mAh to your battery, it will calibrate the monitoring and information display accurately according to the cells you are using. This way both you and the mod will know exactly the state of your cell and avoid any erroneous readings. 40% remaining  will be 40% usable charge and you won’t get diddled thinking it’s higher. 

We have a wide selection of curves available for many popularly used cells. We have csv data for single cells, 2S and 3S configurations. We shall add many more as they become available. Special thanks goes to Michael Schmidt for providing us with much data taken from his site dna200.de. We also offer up many curves generated by us using a resistor bank made up of two 200w 0.1ohm power resistors in series ,mounted onto an aluminium heatsink to disburse heat  We are running more tests and will be updating the site with curves regularly.

 

So where can we get these sexy curves?

Easy!
