Why don't you just rub in your fast moving fingertips a bit more :wait::giggle:
Far be it from me to rub it in any further, but I just snagged another 9.5/10 Black Odin Mini 75c for 100 from a guy on Reddit.

I don't know what it is with me and this mod, but I got there seconds after the ad posted. Boy do I ever not actually need it, but I just could not pass that up. Pristine.

I finally got my two Zeus X Mesh atomizers built and going.

After I figured out that it's not a good idea to over-fill them, they worked great. First hit on the first tank, though, gave me a mouth full of juice. I'm glad I had a paper towel handy.

They don't take as much wattage as I expected. 40 to 45W seems good. I put Quincy in one (choc chip cookie) and Dubble Bubble in the other.

Very, very nice. I'm really pleased and the price was very nearly obscene, it was so cheap.

Also more and more am enjoying the Smok Alike, It's a nice little device with the RTA in. Has great flavor and vapor, and hasn't leaked a bit so far.

Like we were talking about in the other thread. Nice n snug, but not super tight in the mesh and the wells. It won't flood even if you fill it up. Well, if you get it right up to the fill ports it might force some through when putting the cap back on.

In my experience, whatever that's worth, mesh strips require less wattage than wire coils at the same resistance. I take this as being because of the difference in mass and the way the metal is distributed throughout the heating element. I'm running mine at about 55-60.

Is that not a cool little device? Build quality is good by any mainstream standard too. Smok deserves a nod for that one.

BTW, the og Zeus X with the standard deck would flood, gurgle and slurp like nobody's business unless you STUFFED the wells with cotton. Almost impossible to have too much unless you used like a hammer and punch to drive it in there. It was either totally packed or slurping.

No leaking because of the top airflow, but man would that thing flood unless those wells were packed. Vaped great once you got it down though. When it first came out there was a parade of people over on Reddit asking how to stop the flooding.

I got an order from Koncio mods yesterday. A screw set, 2 tips, and two engraved buttons. He engaved the buttons backwards. Gold engraving went on blue button, blue engraving on gold button. I emailed him late last night. Had an email this morning saying keep them, and the right two will get engraved and mailed today. Man I wish everyone was as nice to deal with as Marcel at Konico :shades: I'll just wait to get it all sorted out for a pic.....

The mesh tanks are by no means stuffed with cotton. I cut the "shoestrings" in half, and then fanned and trimmed the underside. I think I really overdid the fill on the first tank.

I had a problem with flooding on the first Zeus X tank I had. but only on the first fill. and only for the first hour or so of vaping it. Once the cotton expanded a little, problem solved. Times I've rewicked them since, I've just given them a little time for the cotton to "plump."

The other thing about lower wattage in the Zeus X Mesh is that the piece of mesh is so damn tiny! I use higher wattages on the Meshlock and TVL Reload RDAs I have going, because the mesh cuts are just larger, and they are lower resistance as well.

And yes, as long as the Alike doesn't start to leak after a while, I will get along famously with it. It does seem very well made, and is a great fit for my hand. It also works great at only about 25W, which I like for battery longevity and conservative use of e-liquid.

Got my Plan B Anarchist today! This is one SOLID mod! Feels and looks like they started with a solid block of brass and drilled everything into it! Love the feel of it. Gonna have to put it up high where the wife can't reach it! (So she can't throw it at me...lol) 20200908_171736.jpg20200908_171802_HDR.jpg20200908_171859_HDR.jpg20200908_171848_HDR.jpg20200908_171952_HDR.jpg20200908_171829_HDR.jpg

I bought that Hadar RDA you linked the other day. Couldn't get just that so I picked up the Wasp Nano squonk mod for $20 00.
That rda caught my eye and looks pretty good and for that price it's worth a shot. Looks like they took a cue from Wotofo and made the deck accommodate mesh strips AND coils natively. OR, with the way things work in Shenzen, maybe Wotofo got it from them.

After the Hugsvape Lotus I have no problem believing that unknown companies can make awesome stuff.

We'll have to compare notes when they get here.

I saw a review for it in late spring/early summer and forgot about it. Probably because I picked up a Profile. lol.
$11 was a big selling point. It looks to be a good design, probably better suited for mesh or a larger single coil though. We'll see.

It is, all of the Big Purge top caps fit on the Carnage as far as I know.
The Skull Cap
The Money Shot
The Enforcer
Both combos look great. Just got my B2B V5 today and enjoying it with the Asgard 25mm/28mm ring but the blacks are a little off, satin vs. flat. Not a big deal, but...you know how we are.

Been thinking about an alternative RDA to mix it up. You wouldn't happen to have a black Kennedy 28mm to sport on it would you? Love to see a pic if you do.

I don't have a Kennedy, personally I'm not a fan. I love their mods but don't care for the RDAs.
