The specs on the Serpent mini is a 4mm airhole in the deck. Looks similar on the Hurricane Jr. but I can't find specs to confirm.

The full size Serpent is over 5mm, so mini is more comparable to the Jr. it seems.
Probably so. the junior, I enjoy but as restrictive lung. I gave away the big serpent, because I couldn't get to vape where I could enjoy it.
Would love to do side by side comparison though

I just got the corolla v1.5 in the mail...Not a fan so far...I'll stick to my variety of KayFuns and my Aqua V2's...I'll play around with it before I decide what to do with it. My expectations were high for this. :gaah:

No not your bragging at all. I had this on my radar for a long time...I'll try a few different builds before I give up on it. The worse thing for me was trying to fill it. The hole is small, and the air escape is useless. The air escapes from the cotton holes better. It wound up being a big wet mess for my first fill. Now I'm noticing how F'N hot this thing gets. My build is a .65. Not a crazy build. 30w, 450 TC...Also, the air holes, single is too loose for mtl, dual hole too tight for DL.

@MercuryVaper, what is it you don't like about the Corolla v1.5? It is a genny type and that automatically rules it out for me, but is it a loose or tight draw....please let us know.
Lol, To be honest, so far I don't like anything about it except for the way it looks. I need to mess around more with it. This is a first for me though. I've never had a tank before that I couldn't get a good build and vape first try. Guess I've been lucky.

I have a few "problem children " that need some work, but I don't have the time now so I fall back on the tried and true tanks. At the moment the Alleria for DL and Phenomenon lite or Kayfun mini v3 plus are the ones I use constantly.

By far my favorite has to be the KF V3+ Runner up is the little V3. The V5 is also at the top of my list. I still like the Aqua V2's and STM's very much, They just don't see a lot of duty these days.

Don't hold your breath Toolman.
I've got 4 orders coming from FT :)

I've never had a FT order take over 4-5 weeks. Have one dropping this week, it's currently in Chicago, order placed on 8/4!

I also NEVER order during chinese new year :). That's a slow boat for sure!

I've never gotten anything from China that fast. I need to move to Cali. My stuff always sits in Chicago longer than it takes it to get there.

I've never chosen anything but the free shipping offer and have ordered several dozens of times and never more than 4-5 weeks.

I'm obviously a big fan of FT :) They ain't perfect but have had a really, really good experience over the last few years.

SoCal kinda sucks for the vaping crowd. I would like to move out of state but my job keeps me here.
The usps express epacket is another of the free shipping options.

Same here, 10-14 days, "once shipped".
My stuff clears thru Miami, so I don't think they are as inundated as Cali customs with small packages from China to screen.

LOL, @f1r3b1rd, I could just see you hugging the Rose, running in slow motion in a meadow, the theme song from love story (or a Barry White song) in the background.
hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If the reviewers are half right, I will be hugging and kissing it tightly

See now, y'all starting some stuff! I was perfectly happy with the Phenom. lite, K v3 mini, Alleria and Gem, but nooooo! now I have to get the SXK Rose too! After the Labor Day sales, I have to look for spare change under the couch pillows :headbang:.

Yeah, you're lucky....my last order spent 4 days in San Francisco, guess it took in the sights, toured Napa, then decided since SoCal was it's destination it better mozy on down the road.

Anyone try the UTA Ubertoot v2? I'm reading it's a good mtl tank, tho, the rose v3 is supposed to be slightly better. I'm not that enthused about it to spend $30 for it and the sxk rose 3 one FT is not available yet.

Not to be a fuddy daddy or try to show off, but......are you sure it was Vapor Beast and not Vapor Whale. I ordered the VF Classic from them and it was shipped from Carlsbad. BTW, it is mich nicer than the Classic I bought from Avail, almost as nice as the VF DNA133 from Vaporshark....well, it is close, but the fit and finish is much better on the shark version.

I'll try to find the post here...but it was definitely shipped from China, in seven days.

I'm not disputing your statement, it is very possible they have some items here and some shipped from manufacturer. It is a rather strange way of doing business, but if it works for them....

I've had bad luck too.I've had packages get lost in Dulles, Wa. for about a week once or twice.Which makes no damn sense at all.

I had it and sold it for lack of flavor but now I believe it was probably my wicking that was causing lack of flavor and not the device itself. There is just too much evidence of it being a great flavor device. It is bottom fill though so heads up, very similar to Hurricane in that regard.

Super impressed with both the Tilemihos V2 and the Snapdragon. Both super easy to build and wick (26 gauge caught with no issue right out of box) and both have nice center pins that stick out and adjustable so they work well on my hybrid mechs! Flavor is up there on both. Couldn't be happier and will be grabbing a couple more :)

Also snagged the Pico mod on sale for $20 :)

Did anyone here try the Goblin mini v3 yet? It is supposed to have many improvements from the previous version.
