....That’s what she said! Lol I’ll never to get too old for that to be funny. The Titan rig is definitely a beast but it’s not cumbersome and the flavor is fantastic.

Honestly, it’s a bit small, bro. You need to get a 120ml one! That way you can dump a whole big bottle into it! That’s what I say...

Ah that’s an interesting piece. That was the first vape I ever bought back in 2015, lemme regale you with the tale. I went to the local shop looking for a simple setup to get me off the sticks, my son was just born so I figured it was time for a change. The fella in the vape shop insisted on showing me box mods and rda’s so I asked simply for a juice and I’d find something elsewhere, he “hooked” me up with some 72mg Capt’n Crunch juice...yeah that’s supposed to say 72mg. So I go home and hop on Craigslist thinking I’d find a used kit and that was the setup I found, only $15 lol. The guy I bought it from literally knew nothing about it so I took it home and luckily just set it aside because an 18350 tube was something I definitely shouldn’t have gotten. For the next couple years I bounced back and fourth between cigarettes and cigalikes before getting a Smok m17 and kissing the cigs goodbye. That said, I felt I should do something special with the setup so I turned it into an icepick lmao! The tube is filled with acrylic so the spike isn’t coming out and the rest was assembled with the threads epoxied.

Nice! Very creative. My first set up went to a buddys dad that was getting in trouble for smoking in the nursing home. Still uses it as far as I know.

I have an Athena too. That LITTLE mod ain't half bad at all. I need to pull it out again.

Yeah, little is right. I think the pico squeeze is the only smaller one I have, and it's close. Limited to 22mm on the squeeze though, love that the Athena holds a 25mm no problem.

I almost bought one, but I backed out when I saw it didn’t have a screen. I figured it might hit too hard.

All it what you put on it and how you build it. I like to be @ around .5 or .6 with it. A really nice medium power vape.

They had it on sale at VapeNW, so I’ll go look. It would’ve been a vapocalypse stash mod anyway. I hate to think that all this gear is going to go away or be taxed to death.

It's fully unregulated so yeah, like dubya is saying, it's hits as hard, or not, as how you build for it. Great little mech squonker for the price. I got 2 during the last holiday sales.

My blue one came with the Athena rda too. I have a .13 build in it as I recall. That's on the warmer side with a good battery.

The Athena is a good basic deign. Just the type of device I like. It doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't and succeeds at what it does try to be at an affordable price.
Yes, tiny, but fits 25mm attys, standard bottles, functional safety mechanism (though not perfect) performs reasonably well, decent build quality and looks kinda cool too.

Right now I’m using .04 coils from Mr. Meowgi in a Recurve. I’ve only been vaping at 40w-ish, since I want it warm but with a little density. I tried it at like 60w and it was way too hot, and it was crackling too much!
Same thing with my regular mods and tanks. I go for high 30’s to mid 40w depending on the tank, and it’s fine. Plus I’m usually trying to save the battery as much as possible. Maybe with 21700’s, I’d live dangerously at 45-50w! Lol

Totally agree. I hadn't had it out in a while until today, glad I grabbed it.
