I feel much better now :) thank you for clarifying what your intent and thoughts were when posting, it actually does make a difference since people only can tel what was voiced from their own perspective. I know I should have thicker skin, but my skins as thick is it gets at home and I actually come here for the positive attitude/friendliness of most people and to talk to people that are older then 13...This is why I think I get more offended on this forum then I do at home, I find this to be my place to unwind and share and get away from the things that I would rather not deal or think about.
Well, fwiw, I'm friendly most (if not all) of the time. :) ...and while I'm young at heart, I have sixty years behind me. (avatar's a recent photo). Sometimes I'll just spit it out directly, as the world I grew up in wasn't so PC... Still... there no excuse, for 'bad' behavior, but I try to express myself appropriately. I have my moments. ;) Thanks for understanding. I hope we're... :cool:

We're good, Im not over the hill just yet (Waiting for my Moms Swatting Hand...). Im still learning and trying to broaden my perspectives, but I can be stubborn or thick headed here and there. Dont mind me if I come off opinionated or indifferent, I dont get out much. I work at home ( Developing Software and Proof-checking every piece of code afterwards) and Im raising kids at the same time, Im not at all sane and sometimes I need to be brought back to reality.. Okay life story over, back to topic.... ;)

wh



What do you suggest powering the nautilus mini with?

Guess I did not get specific so I'll throw this out simply cause I got one on the cheap and keep it as a triple reserve carry-on back up. Sigelei Mini. Small 30 watt device, very reasonably priced, micro usb chargeable, and very simple controls. 5-30w with VV option. I can't vouch for durability simply because I have only used it once. To make sure it worked heh. Payed like 23 bucks for it on sale.

Istick 30W would also be decent for it, its one of the only Isticks that didnt have all the issues the 50w had and its tiny, I use my Goblin Mini on it everyday. They are also cheap and may appeal to the wife as it comes in many color choices. The Mini Volt with the Nautilus Mini would be a great combo also

I keep thinking about the bolt with my aromamizer. Just have to take the fused claptons out first...

Decisions, decisions (lol) psssst... that Sig 50 V2 ($19.99), is still the best deal on the planet right now, and it's a quality mod.

It's slim. No sharp edges. Has those elegant looking Swoosh lines. Nicely finished. Soft in the hands. No confusing menus. Plenty of power for a new vaper. It's Sigelei. It's quality!... Lol - I'm just sayin' :)

You are too funny :rolleyes:o_O Not from my cold dead hands...:D
HAHA... you always complain about that thing and annoying it is. I'm willing to help you out here and take it off of your hands. Just trying to help a brotha out!

I have been leaning heavy towards that just because I know that if she doesn't use it in the long run... I will.

Fine, Iwill snag the Sigele to have. I already have one Aromamizer. I like it but not enough to have two! I wanted a Crius but seeing how the deck is smaller than the Aromamizer... I wouldn't even want to build on that. That is why you just need to send me the Griffen!

I've a 100 Watt Plus also, (ok, haven't dropped it yet - but), it IS solid. Built like a tank. I just retired it to backup status after getting a Lotus LE80 but that's another story...

Seriously, follow your instinct. We are seldom wrong when we follow our instincts.

I get that Ivogo Velocity RDTA tomorrow... so that will be the project for this weekend. Not sure what I am going to build in that to keep from getting constant dry hits with the tank being below the coils. This should be fun... and probably taste like ass unti l figure it out!

I was going to order one to compare it for when my Avocado arrives...same concept but the Geekvape seems much more polished and higher quality, the only issue I see is filling them and gravity/wicking...I guess we will see the results soon enough. I also am picking up the Diablo RTA to add to the Velocity RTA comparison....

I saw geek vape spotted another rdta. The subzero I think it was. Looks nice but only glanced at it. Don't need the temptation!

Ray don't mix your tanks and your drippers. :confused:
These are all RTAs, well the Avocado and Ivogo RTDA are more like Gennies but still...
I want to make the Ultimate Velocity Style RTA Comparison when Im done and got them all....I have most of them so far except the Alpha Ohmega, Diablo, Ivogo RTDA and Im waiting on that Avocado...

You would be surprised to know that the Griffin and VCMT 25mm both have decks that allow more space then the RDA they are styled after! I cant imagine the deck on the 30mm VCMT/Alpha!

BTW Guys the Griffin 25mm is in its prototype stage and we will have some peeks at it in a week or 2 hopefully have preorders very soon for it also....supposed to have bigger everything like the VCMT.

Ivogo made an actual velocity rdta. Downside is that it is a bottom tank design. So a velocity sitting on a tank. I have one showing up tomorrow. Going to see if it is any good. I will know Friday it Saturday night of it is any good.

Griffin vs Velocity RDA..The Posts are further apart and thinner, the barrel is wider then the edges of the deck also so there is more build room to work with....in the same 22mm form
I also think the way the airflow is on the velocity makes flavors muted and airy even when almost closed off, the Griffin has bottom airflow so the flavor is fuller and its directed directly to the coils. The Barrel/Chamber is also slightly domed inside, so the flavor is condensed (as much as it could be) and the air isnt restricted..

Griffin looks like a Kennedy style Velocity style deck. :) Don't over drip that sucker. :) (oh yeah, you can't... it's not a dripper).

Its a RTA...no dripping needed! Ive taken it up to 180w and vaped as fast/long as possible and I got nic sic on 3mg before I could even get a hint of a dryhit....It has spoiled me and now my RDAs dont even get a glare in their direction...

Spent almost all my savings to build it but I needed something decent for my work and I didnt want to have to upgrade for atleast 5-7 years...I shouldnt need to do anything more except overclock it by then but Im sure Ill need to buy something to keep up with all the new rendering software

I just saw Eciggity has the Griffin in stock for like 35 bucks. You think it would be worth it to order one or two??

I paid $38 for mine but @Hank F. Spankman just posted a All black version he got...Im going to get one tonight! Its really up to you on what your comfortable getting and where you buy from, all I can do is share what Ive gathered using it. I find it to the very best RTA Ive used, it has almost no limitations on what you can build and use, its easy to wick and build on, it has topfill, there isnt a flaw on it and its well built. Ive spent much more on Tanks/RDAs that weren't half that soo..
