And good morning all! Wednesday it was like 70 degrees and sunny. Today I'm getting 4 to 5 inches of snow. This really sucks.

Me ?.......Never.....:rolleyes:

@Eskie, I saw a few of posts from you here and there about this mod, I was a bit shocked, I thought you would of been one of the first to get one considering our chats over the Pico..........anyways...

Bought myself another OBS Nano as Emily won't stop using mine but this one is strange, maybe the only one like it, I dunno, it's authentic, I checked that but my post holes are not staggered, not sure if this was a first batch or they just fooked it up in production. It works fine and is still easy to build on, I cut the wicks shorter on this and it's made a big difference.

I have to say, vaping this side by side the dual Engine, this has better flavor, no doubt about that, it's up there with the best and in my opinion the best 25mm single coil tank on the market. It's all to do with how the airflow hits both sides instead of the top.

Built a nice SS fused Clapton on a 3mm ID, coming in at 0.35 ohms, vaping her at 45w (yup, the pic is on 40w but I've upped it now) Absolutely fantastic vape... Go with some TC over the weekend probably..



Background story, I've been after an out and about setup for months and months, I thought when the Pico Mega came out you may have been able to fit bigger tanks on but nope, my prayers were answered in the Alien AL85, there is a very very slight .5 overhang at the front, sides are flush, you have to really look hard to see it, no biggy at all..

To me and the way I vape there is no better setup than this, I'm over the moon with it, finally a great vape that I can pop into my pocket when out, it's about bloody time...

The Alien is the same size as the Pico in height but a bit fatter, I'm not going into a full on review of the mod as it's the same board as the original, same screen ect... It's like an Alien had it's way with a Pico and this was the result. The trigger is great, makes it much more comfortable to vape compared to the Pico due to it's size, it just out does the Pico in every way. Weighs in at 120g

Anyone that needs a work setup or just out and about, I doubt there is one better than this, it's a bit of a gush fest on my part because I've waited so long for this to come out and with the Nano on top, it's frickin awesome.





Final thoughts......

The paint is better on this, more of a matt finish and I heard that Smok said they had improved it, I'm waiting on a screen protector for the front before I take the factory plastic film off it, it makes the font green, with a name like Alien, you need green font right !

Cons....

None (for me), I really can't find any, it's that good, for the price you just can't go wrong with this at all..

If I had to put my picky pants on then I would of liked just that extra .5mm on the front but that's realy being picky.

No battery venting ??? Hmm, doesn't bother me, never had a battery vent and with the protection of these regulated mods, there's not much to worry about.

A few vent holes like the Pico would of been nice but again, it doesn't concern me. Just don't blame me if it blows up lol

This did come with the baby beast tank, which is OK but do yourself a flavor favor and get a Nano....hey @Lannie :) We love ours :)

Rixy, I took a pass on this one as I have a bunch of 1 battery mods already. What I really want it an Engine Mini Nano with a 23 mm size and a single deck. That would fit my Picos and complete the out and about choices I have. I'm using one with a Super tank mini right now, and no matter how rattled around in my pocket,it's stayed. I have an Alien (and one that's kept its paint on) and do like it so it's nothing about the product. I think the Alien setup is great and I'm sure this one works the same.

For some reason there are two versions of the Nano, one with offset and one with regular. Not sure why, but another whatever. I took a pass on the Nano as I now have something like 4 or 5 (? gotta check that) regular Engines which was hard enough to justify as it was another 25 mm tank. I could just get a Mini and build a larger single coil between the posts and split the wick, but I'll give them another month or two to see if they come around.

Oh, and I LOVE Peeps! They are an entire food group of their own.:giggle:

Im developing a case of mod envy!!! I want new shinies! Unfortunately I need a battery order first...of course...Im a nerd so new batteries can be every bit as exciting! WOOOT Batteries!!!!!!:bingo:

Batteries are good. I've even gotten excited waiting for battery wraps to be delivered. Right now my only tracking number is for flavorings, but there are some more Unicorn bottles in there, so that's cool too.

Ive actually got some of the novelty bottles from FT that look like zippo lighters in the maybe pile. Part of me wants to distance myself from all things smoking related, but the other part is all "Fuck yeah...zippos are cool!"

Im actually placing my battery order within the week and I'm actually picking up a set for a future mod. :shades:

I'm probably weird but I used to love the smell of a zippo. Yes, I mean sniffing the fluid...

I think we're all like kids at Christmas when any new toy is coming in the mail

:D
Funny how when it comes to vaping the batteries can be as exciting as the toys they go in! :giggle:

I did too! I always used zippos when I smoked. It was ritualistic. Making sure your lighter was full before leaving the house and checking for leaks....hmmm wonder why vaping was appealing?

To be blunt Eskie, your missing out bro......Seriously missing out on this setup...especially the Nano tank...

Back to the party :)

More flavor, easier to build, less juice consumption, less wattage, everyone that has the dual Engine needs to get a Nano, it's win win .......Right, half pissed so its over and out for Rixy ...but I am right !

Bogan is rocking that setup, Matt suckmymod is rocking it, all my mates are rocking it, it is the one and that is that hahaha

at real flavors dot com, y'all can use code samplesc and get two 30ml bottles of flavor and just pay 4.11 shipping if you change the shipping to usps. It defaults to fedex. This supposedly can be used 3 times. I got cream and lemon since I"m out of both.

Just checked them out. Shipping would be murder for me if I ordered it from the US and then customs can be a nightmare with some liquids. Turns out that the company I order from carries some of their selections though. Any "must haves"? Im definitely planning to include a cinnamon roll on my next order but might be worth sampling a few of their flavors.

Morning Rixsta! I cant even hack a 12 hour party anymore. Im just out of practice, could probably make a comeback someday.:cool:

And good morning to all Wompers still sleeping in! Coffees on! :coffee2:
I feel like hell on earth buddy so I can't really hack a party like that, shots, drinking games, loud music... I was so glad to get home and download Horizon Zero Dawn on the PS4 Pro lol.......it's stunning in HDR and 4k, absolutely stunning..

Oh and it's green !



That's all I took with me yesterday, well and spare batteries and juice but it served me well last night, still feel the same about it, it's awesome.

Ok Cardboard mod review..

I have tried to get along with this thing but it's just not fit for purpose, apart from the massive size which means you have to hold it with two hands, there is no 510 and they seem to have left a big hole where the batteries should go, there aren't even any battery contacts, it's such a bad mod.

To top it all, I took it out yesterday in the rain and it's not waterproof, that material they used just went all soggy and it fell apart in my hand, I can't recommend this I'm afraid.

Ohh wow...Im sorry you had such a rough time with this mod. Have you contacted the manufacturer? Did you peel off the clear plastic like substance? I believe that is the waterproofing material and is not meant to be tampered with. As for the 510 connection, I dont know what to say. Might be better to just invest in an avocado...
