It's a new RDA/RTA called the Crystal Ball. It's not out yet. I've used it and it's good. I thought it'd suck for some reason. Remember that RDA that made a noise? F-, forgot the name of it, but I was thinking it more novelty than form and function. But. It gave a good vape.
It's the fumytech one. They have 2 versions available just branded different. One is the dragon Ball and one is the earth ball I think dragon Ball has been on the market for a few months now. Gearbest has them

I know it's not a "Hand Check" but I will have one in my hands as soon as they hit the shelves at my local vape shop.
It's the new SMOK GX350 Starter Kit that comes with a matching TFV8.
Sorry for poor picture quality. They are the best ones I could find on Google Images.

Awesome! I'd love to see a big picture of it or - even better - in person.
I've already put in my order for it at my local vape shop. So I'm just patiently waiting impatiently for it to arrive. LOL

As soon as I have it, I'll post a hand check pic.

Shawn

BTW, I dig your username. You play? If so what do you play? I play guitar and bass.

Thanks for the compliment. I've been a guitarist (composer and player) since I was a kid. When I was young and stupid I sold my true love (which happened to be a guitar) for money. It was a Fender American Deluxe Strat in teal with maple neck and abalone inlay and no guitar has ever matched up to it since.

Currently I am heavily into electronic music which I love because of how many genres and styles of it there are.

If I had somebody to play music with I'd jump right back into it but I don't.

What kind of music do you like (both to listen to and to play)?

Also I like your username (and name) too. I'm also a "Shawn" except my spelling is "Sean". :)

I'd love to have an American Strat!
I know how you feel about having to sell it. I had to sell a USA made neck thru Jackson Soloist for cash to do an engine swap in my old car. The car has been long gone and so has my Soloist. :(

As for the music I play, I play everything from Blues to Rock, Classic Rock, Southern Rock and Metal from AC/DC to ZZ-Top and some Country.

My guitars are a 2011 Gibson 60's Tribute Les Paul Gold Top with P-90's
2004 Epiphone Ace Frehley Signature series Les Paul Custom Classic with 3 DiMarzio USA Super Distortion humbuckers that I found new old stock at a music store back in 2010. I upgraded it with 50's style wiring, matched CTS 500k pots with a push-pull bridge tone pot to turn the middle pickup on and off, Russian paper in oil tone caps, Switchcraft pup switch and jack.
I had an 85 Gibson SG Elite USA but the neck strap screw stripped itself out while playing, hit the floor head first and cracked the neck at the headstock. I fixed it but I sold it a short time later.

And finally, a 2014 Fender Squire P-Bass that I currently play in a female fronted 70's-early 90's rock and metal band.

Sweet guitars! I especially like the white one. I also played the gamut from rock to blues to metal. Maybe one day I'll pick up another American Deluxe and start playing again. :)

If it makes you feel better, here's a coupon code for fasttech. 20% off the current price of $62 means you are looking at $50 and change for the kit. You should get 2 at that price!

What was wrong with it?

I think the chip went bad but they did not send me an explanation. It started changing presets by itself and the screen would jump around. The screen finally just went blank. This was the first and only time that I have had a problem with a DNA chip but Evolv stood behind their product. I have had other mods that screwed up with no recourse. I doubt that I will buy anything that doesnt have a Evolv chip.

I posted a pic of this in the "look at my shiny new shiny" thread earlier today but I figured might as well pop its hand check cherry.

So far so great. Much smaller than I anticipated but still fits a 24mm nicely. TC kinda works? Whatever, that's what DNA's are for. What I'm most pleased / surprised with is the battery life. I took it off the charger at around 1pm and it's still going strong. Tomorrow I'm going to throw something on top with a duel, low ohm coil and run it at the max. If I can get half the battery I'll be happy.

What is going on Fasttech? The code is now for 15% off instead of 20% like advertised by them a few days ago! :tantrum:
