New (to me) Reo P67! Always wanted one and it certainly lives up to its reputation thus far. Had to put a Basic 1.1 on it, of course.

Glad you ended up with it - I've got a few and was almost tempted - the price was certainly right

Plus, everyone needs at least one indestructible squonker :)

Freaking bombproof, I tell ya!

Honestly though, I almost passed on it. I've been contemplating doing another Shapeways DIY mod but decided the money would be better spent on this

Damn you Christmas and gift buying for family!

There is a knife I want that hasn't been around in years and was just given the green light on a short run of 628 units! Uggh


PM2 in 204P... I want it so it can share desk space with my other PM2s... that and its one of the more sought after PM2s outside of S90V in CF....


Oops I hit the Purchase button... damn you knife shinyitus, you're more expensive than vaping.
I like them Spiderco knives too.....I remember buying a couple at a gun show way back when we still had balls in California and gun shows were still allowed. I think I payed $20 a piece back then, they were just breaking into the market.

There is a reason they were the gold standard for so long - I think they still deserve a spot

Yeah I still have an original stainless serrated spidey lock back from ages ago... I was going to order a Benchmade 940-1 mainly for the S90V then when doing my rounds at the main knife retailers low and behold the 204P was back...prefer Spydercos, that and it was only $150 compared to $270

Well I lied, the knife was $149.95 with free shipping and of course had to buy a deep carry lynch clip ($25)

Mmm - don't know. Haven't bought a double coil attie in forever - not seeing a reducer

If they got the air right it might be something - did anyone here ever try it?

Not me, was interested in it though, but never pulled the trigger (to busy drooling on knives lately)

It's a single coil 22mm atty, right in your alley, I guess. :) It hasn't got the plastic reducer thingy the Citadel has right. I highly recommend the YFTK Citadel Clone by the way. :)

LOL! My wife gave me the stink eye!
Honestly, it is not my fault she decided to fast the week before Christmas and I just took some pork riblets and two racks of baby back ribs out of the smoker. A guy's gotta eat, right? Besides, she should know better. I am very supportive throughout the year, but at Christmas time all bets are off!:vino:

I did a juice fast last week - now Mr Juicy is in dental hell and can't eat much, and I'm making him juice too :teehee:

Speaking from experience, I'd say you should listen to JL, the lady knows her stuff.

I believe you! :) Anyway, it wont arrive before Christmas. :( I'll have to do with the authentic Goon 25mm this Christmas. :) I hope all the short fills and nic shots I have ordered from the UK will arrive today (20th).

It has to do with the max voltage or something like that, I'm not too sure. I can tell you the colored screen DNA boards (75 and 250) have "Replay" and I really like that feature. Not only that, but the 250C can go to 300W with three cells and 400W with four cells, both replay and wattage increase are blocked in the US but are available with the international version of escribe.

Not so much that for me. As I said above, the C boards battery saving makes them make me want to slash my wrists

Eugenol oil, clove oil. It's American red Cross brand. Or in a pinch pole a hole in an Advil liquid gel and rub some of the stuff on tooth or gum. It will get hot on the gums. But it definitely works. If abcessed cold packs, ibuprofen and swishing with peroxide helps. I'm the tooth fairies nightmare and an oral surgeon dream.

They call the neofet guy from 67 mods gooberbutternuts cause he shafted a couple
It's not really my story to tell, but the long and short of it is that a particular modder has shown less than stellar customer service to some members here.

No MCM SSSP for me this Christmas. Received a very well used one. At least I was sent a new bottle for it... Going back!

Edit: What do you think? I was told it's new.

I see it's normal after talking with customer service, and they even offered me to keep the ulton one, instead of the black I ordered, even though it costs more. :)

Well I got my Profile. Actually, my first, as I ordered a second one before I had the first.
That was probably a mistake - as I have determined quite quickly that it's not gonna work for me on my mech squonkers.
I got it to use the mesh coils, and they're 0.18 ohms. If anyone knows of any mesh I could (fairly easily) throw in a Profile that runs more like 0.3 and up, please let me know. Because as I've found before - I can't vape below about 0.3. It's just too "hot" for a mech and the way I draw.
I have now experienced a hint of a mesh dry hit, and that's no good at all.
So I moved the Profile to my solitary regulated device - and it's vaping quite nicely there!
But I won't need the blue one that's en route. :-(

Also, that required some real topper swapping. I've not got a (also quite nice) QP Kali on my OG mech Pulse...which is weird. SEEMS like a mismatch, but...well...they're both really BIG, and again - it's vaping quite nicely.

These are now sort of my cloud-chucker setups.

The Profile does have plenty of air - which I was concerned about having seen the little hole pattern, reminding me of the Recurve, on which I don't like how restricted the intake is. Profile is somehow FAR more air - probably because INSIDE those holes, there's no restriction at all.

So - the Profile has a lot going for it:
  • Easy to mount those precut mesh coils.
  • You CAN see the squonk, seeping through to the coil, despite being wicked with literally 5 times the cotton I'd use in anything else.
  • It's so far, surprisingly good flavor, nice dense vapor...
  • Plenty of air for me (running it wide open), and easy to adjust down.
Only downside: you just can't hit it with 4 volts.

Pico for sizing... :)

They are supercute. I like the anodized blue, or just polished alum better than the ultem. Might even get one, just not direct...
Besides other concerns, it'd like $40 to ship a $150 mod...nope.


No, I'm not biting but damn, that is so little and cute

I love miniature stuff, but damn, that is a lotta pricey for what it is, plus I have no 18350 batts and then the bottle thang

Well that POS has the exact same Mosfet that was in the Gooberfet...but at least the fet will perform slightly better due to the fact its attached to an 18350... forcing people to build to its true capability.

I didn't even build low when I had the gooberfet... .45Ω I think was my average coil... and that POS forced me to move to higher gauge wire builds (28/40) due to mass on my normal 26/36 coils being to much for it to handle...seriously the voltage drop was 3.2v on that shit fet on a fresh battery... and only marginally better when I went to less mass...best that fet obtained when I used just plain round N80 was 3.56v.

That mother fucker doesn't care about putting out quality anymore.

And just for comparison... the Pico hits 3.84v on a $17 mod


Correction, 3.02v the first gooberfet I had from him...

upload_2018-12-20_21-9-25.png

Then his mech before I changed it to pure silver contacts...

upload_2018-12-20_21-13-52.png

and that 3.85v is with a .27 fused...that voltage on mech would be near non-existent if I built it .45Ω I would wager 3.98v+


So yeah... eff his POS stuff lol

No, really! Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel about mr. Gooberbutternuts and the overpriced crap he sells.:vino:

Loving my profile! I'm looking for higher ohm coils as well but cant seem to find any unless I buy the rolls of mesh and try to make my own. I use mine on my Luxotic and it is spectacular. I've also seen weird builds on it with regular wire but havent tried any. I want to get a regulated mod first. IMG_0681.jpg

Sad but true. The mosfet in the neofet is garbage. My SVBF, Proteus Malu and Pico run circles around it and for what I paid for it, I could have bought 6 picos, including the price of having every one custom painted by Nigel.

The neofet is the only mod I own but am ashamed to sell (or even give away) because really... am I going to pass that garbage off to someone else.
Not gonna happen.
