I didn't buy it! Like I said before, I believe your guys opinions more than the YT reviewers. @So619Cal said it wasn't worth the extra Benjamin over the SXK clone so I skipped it!

I use the clone daily(out and about on the Pico) and I use my favorite Vanilla bourbon juice in it; if I don't Vape it next to the authentic I don't notice the difference. Well besides the drip tip, I need to get another one like I have on the authentic.

That is good news - it's been awhile since I came across a clone as good as the authentic

What I'm pissed about is the misinformation.

This item below is the 1 referred to as a McDonald's toy.

Not the pulse.

The 1 with voltage drop is that PoS sold at FastTech

Not the Pulse

Now are we clear?

Good back to playing (Shadowverse)

Mornin' Squeeps,
Halfway through my lunch just now and wanted to add my 2c on the Pulse since I think I was the one throwing the Happy Meal comparison around.
The mod is great. For $24.

The only plus is the 20700 capability, but on the Pulse it feels like an 18500.
Janky clip 'switch', mooshy button, creaky plastic, I can't foresee it living through an accidental drop off the table at all. Basically
a good 'training wheels' mod to decide if you like squonking and then ideally move on to something nicer. I received 2 more of these dang things for Christmas and PIFed them that same day. ...and the 'ultem' doors aren't ultem at all. Just ultem-colored plastic.
Not afraid to say this either even though I'm friends with Tony. And despite the shortcomings of the mod, I give him massive credit for what he's done, he's a big big reason why squonking took off. ..and now there's a whole Pulse following of new squonkers and they are having fun with the matchy doors and tips and that's totally fcuking cool to see. ...he brought the high end spirit to the masses without the drama and arrogance. You Facebook guys should join 'A Tony B Project'.. he is such a cool and real dude. I fully support his endeavor, just don't like his mod at all. I tried really hard to!!
But they all love it and that's great.

The Pulse 22 on the other hand is quite nice, but only if you have your build & placement JUST right. Some of the Facebook guys are starting to make aftermarket caps and they're hot.. even though I think they cost more than than the atty itself. They're teetering on the slippery slope but don't know it yet...
; )

EDIT : Re: Happy Meal, I will say the construction is at least far superior than the other famous Happy Meal mod ...for those that remember.. the famous Hana ONE!

I love my pulse 22s that is plural. Don't have the mod. Did not appeal to me Tony seems like a good guy but he is out to make money just like all of us I wish he would make a mid in the 100 dallars range now. Better materials and such. And do you have any links to those pulse 22 caps

Nothing wrong with making money of course, but OUT to make money is a different spirit in my book. If you can do what you love and earn a living with it, well.. that's the dream no? He's doing it and is not a total dick and didn't step on anyone to get there. He's actually a humble awesome guy.
If yer on bookbook, the caps are just popping up on Facebook on the 'A Tony B Project' group .. If not I can send him a note and see if they'll be anywhere else if you'd like dude.
Shit I'm late for work.
Talk soon guys!

I agree. The RDAs are very nicely put together. Btw, yours arrive safe and sound yesterday? The Hadaly came yesterday and I’ve got her all set up on my “Darth Vaper” Little Orca. Thanks!

So then the big question is, why haven't you sold your 2 authentics and grabbed a couple clones?

So I just wanted to expand on my comparison of rayon wick vs Puff organic cotton pads...
I’ve figured out how to describe the difference.
Rayon has a sharp, clean flavor and the material doesn’t “hold” juice quite as well meaning that it’s quick to suck it up but quick to release it as well. This leads to a bit more spit back. I still like it and I think it will be more suited to use in RTAs.
Puff also has a clean flavor, but it’s more well rounded and I get more nuances of flavor from it. Also it holds onto liquid and is more reluctant to give it up which leads to less spitback. I also believe this leads to a denser vape because it throw less of the liquid off the coil in the form of spitback. Basically it gives the juice more of a chance to vaporize rather than just fly off the coil. I also have to Squonk less!!
Hope this helps someone. I’d love to hear other opinions on this never ending debate lol!

I actually have 1 more ordered...the clear Haku caps are holding up the delivery from FT...1/3/18 was the caps stock date...which recently turned into delivery in 5 days

So in about 3 weeks I'll have equal amounts of clone vs authentic.

As for selling, I normally use items I have when my modest $600 a year Vape budget (not kidding...$50 a month ) which I used that $50 plus the money I got from you one month to buy the Neo Mara.

I currently have $100 roll over from last year and this months $50 to pay the deposit on the NeoFet, which surprisingly invoice went out this morning.

TL;DR they'll be sold when something I REALLY want is out of budget reach.

Ohh wow. I figured you for a higher vape budget.
Mine is around $25/mo or around 1/5 of what I was spending on Cigs 3 years ago. Would be a lower percentage now I suppose.

I have kinda pre-spent my vape budget till around April...
But then I will not actually need anything else for at least a year except for maybe a few packs of cotton bacon about mid year.

Same here but not because I'm rich, I just hate having the "debt" hanging over my budget. Example: got on the list for 3 topcaps for the Pinoy pocket d/s back around beginning of Dec. Should've shipped 2 weeks later but due to problem with raw materials, we are still waiting. But I know that $100 bill will come... it's just floating around the ozone somewhere. I hate that crap. No offense to Ronald, he seems like a great guy.

Indeed... I only ordered one extra bottle... don't see myself vaping but one flavor in it nor removing said bottle much. So the old adage, 1 is none and 2 is 1...I have 1 LOL

within the next 20 mins, Raphy will be live again on FB

Don't feel you can't speak to him, its part of the job description and honestly in my experience he is very approachable.

That’s fantastic deal. The RDA looks pretty run of he mill to me, but after reading about it sounds like they made a bunch of subtle changes to the standard designs. $28 after the code and a free pack of coils is really nice.
