:inlove: but agreed, full knurled would be nice.
i still would have preferred that, but the polished brass looks kinda like a sleeve.
i think it looks better. slippery though.
Like I say, I still would have liked the knurled, but this is much better than I thought it would be. It's actually not too slippery. Even with the stiffer upgraded spring.

I wasn't passing it up for 5 dollars.

With this build in the Mason, had to go to regulated. Still don't understand this, but a way better vape. .17 @ 90w, way better than I was getting than on the mech. Seems to be really thick build that had too much ramp up on a mech?

I highly agree with you there - I loved the OG so much that I bought too seriously crappy Druga squonkers just so I could get the 22mm version of the RSA, LMAO
If it's the REALLY junky one I'm thinking of, that mod was a disgrace to the company name.

^ what was so bad about it ?
The druga squonk boxes were terrible. Poorly built. Weird spinning nut on the 510 that makes connection with the button, the thing just spins and spins. Arcing marks all over the connections. It was brutal on battery wraps. Destroyed a few sets of batteries. Bad bottle, it was hard and leaked all over.
All in all it was just a bad product and they should have been ashamed.
It was a squonk styled package to sell the 22mm version of the druga rda/rsa.

I was at the vape shop today. As I reached for the mod, so did another man. As I reigned down blows upon him, I thought to myself there has to be another way. From this, a new holiday was born. Happy hand checkavous VU :D

Did yours come with that battery cap? Mine is stainless. Looks awesome, Dub.

Edit: where do your other Tesla’s say Tesla? My Punk 86 only says it on the bottom. The Nano 120 has it on the side, I think.

The mod was indeed awful, but it included a 22 mm Druga RSA, which was very nice, lol

Exactly. That one. I think this came up like over a year ago. I never owned one, but I had it in my hand at a shop. Felt and looked like a cheap plastic Dollar Tree mod. Like Lucy says, the RDA was good though. Mine is actually the 24mm dualie.

The 22 is dual also, just 2mm smaller than the OG

That one is a mech. Just a screw in switch. Yes,86 at the bottom, nano and 85 mini on the side. I am pretty sure the Mech is not made by tesla, just steampunk style.

Thanks! I’m glad that I saw yours here, so that I could get them. I’ve got another Nano coming from China. :happy holiday:

Solid mod's, looks and performance, will never get taken out of my rotation until they quit working, and I am seeing no signs of that ;)

Yeah the mod as a complete POS. Dollar Tree mod is right. The RDA's were ok. Was never a fan of them. Very easy to over squonk due to low placed cyclops airflow and the screws were cheap metal and stripped easily.

That is awesome. What is it and what does it say?
It's the (face on mod) limited edition Legacy mod by The Rig Mod, and, it's a tribute to James "RIG" Seaton, who passed away last year. The normal edition doesn't have the engraving that is shown in my handcheck, but there also exists a (face on button) limited edition, with the engraved face located on the button instead of the tube. The RDA on top is the Asgard Mini by Vaperz Cloud, with the ultem cap that comes with the separately sold "Ultem Set for Asgard Mini", and, the drip tip is the gold base Unicorn version of the ONE Tip by District F5VE. As for the text that's part of the engraving on this mod... it's caused a bit of a stir because this guy actually committed suicide and it reads: "YOU CAN'T BE A PUSSY YOUR WHOLE LIFE" so I guess that would explain why some people think it's awkward, but IMO the whole suggestion that people who decide to commit suicide are just cowards is both terrible and wrong. This is a tribute. You can't pay a tribute to someone while at the same time looking at him like he was a coward. You CERTAINLY can't do that your whole life. I just thought I'd mention that. RIP James

Not sure if that is a serious question :confused:
But no, its the vaporsgate mason 24 Gemini. One of my all time fav rda's :)
I have it too, both the 24 and the 30. Reason I got them was because I had previously gotten the V2, both 24 and 30 also, but, at the time when I placed my order, I hadn't realized the fact that the 24 and 30 postless decks that I had also gotten are incompatible with the V2, as I had only been vaping a few months back then, and I remember I had to help Ryan McKibben fix their newly redesigned vapergate.com website to make it finally want to accept our pesky European creditcards so was a bit stressful period... it was a noob mistake, but one that later proved to be a good mistake. :D

I like it either hand, one thing I am really fond of. Lay my thumb across for side thumb firing in right hand, index finger for left hand :)
I thought you were saying a while back you didn't like the hand feel. Maybe it wasn't you. It grew on me. At first I was bit taken aback by the odd shape and seemingly awkward placement of the bottle and buttons. Probably just because it's so different from everything else.
