HOG mod showing no atomizer with Zeus X

Hi guys. First post.

So i put a Zeus X tank on my HOG and it shows no atomizer error. I tried other tanks and they work fine. The Zeus tank works fine on other mods. So I am assuming Zeus bottom threat doesn't touch the 510 contact on the HOG. I do notice a slit on the 510 contact. So is it possible raising and lowering the contact? Is the 510 connector adjustable? I didn't want to mess with it without confirmation.

Other i tried another atty on HOG at it recognized it. So for some reason the mod can't seem to.make contact with Zeus tank. Again, Zeus tank works OK on other mods.

Hola from Valencia, Spain

Buenas noches, fellow vapers! I quit my 2 pack-a-day habit a few days ago, and have switched to vaping. I am presently using 2 Aspire Zelos 3 kits, switching between the 2 so that I get less dry hits, but otherwise chain vaping. Since I am in Europe, I am limited as to how high nic content I can get. My current juice is Sukka Salts Menthol Tobacco, 20 mg nic. I am looking into an RDA setup just to make life interesting. And I would just like to say that the vaping scene has certainly changed since last I tried it in 2010.

VOOPOO VINCI E120 POD DEVICE REVIEWED BY BIGBOB2322

VOOPOO VINCI E120 POD DEVICE REVIEWED BY BIGBOB2322

Hello friends and welcome back for today's review of a rather large pod device from Voopoo. The Vinci E120 device houses a 4500mAh battery and has a maximum power output of 120 watts, this device uses the performance proven PnP X coils that always produce great flavor for me. It's nice to have a almost full sized pod device that puts out high power and has a internal battery that can handle it. The Vinci E120 gives the user 18 different clock face themes but you have to earn them, more info in my review.

Memersvape – Avia A1

memers-vape-aiva-a1-pod-system-kit-vape-2025-1 (1).jpg
Memersvape - Avia A1
Specifications:
-Dimensions: 79x54x25,5
-Battery capacity: 850 mAh - built-in
-Charging: type C
-Airflow type: MTL to RDL
-Base size: 54,1x16,1
-Capacity: 2ml
-Coil type: 0,8Ω Mesh
The device we received for testing was provided by Memersvape, and we would like to thank the manufacturer. The product is available in six colours on Memersvape's official website. The one I tested is in Aurora Sky. The design of the device is most reminiscent of a pebble, and the rounded edges make it fit perfectly in the palm of the hand. Its compact size makes it almost unnoticeable in use. At first glance, the materials used have a metallic effect, but on closer inspection they are made of some kind of durable plastic. Despite this, the construction is solid, with no wobbles or rattles, and the weight is nicely balanced.
IMG_20250130_152823.jpg


At the top of the device, there is a multifunctional button that reacts to both pressure and scrolling. This is used to control the wattage, the built-in light, and the countdown and stopwatch functions. While these extra functions may not be useful for everyone, they give the device a “Swiss Army knife” feel. At the bottom is the USB-C port for charging, as well as an airflow control that can be adjusted in three settings, depending on whether you choose MTL or RDL steaming.

IMG_20250130_152846.jpg

The front of the device features a large display that clearly shows all important information. The LED light is located at the bottom and is integrated under the plexiglass cover of the display. On the sides of the device there are design elements that at first glance may appear to be cooling fins, but in fact they are purely aesthetic and have no functional role.
IMG20250130152116.jpg


Getting started:
commissioning the device is extremely simple, as is common with pod systems. After unpacking the pod head, there is a rubber sealed charging port on the side, which in my opinion is a bit small. After filling the cartridge with e-liquid, you are almost ready to use. However, it's worth waiting a few minutes to allow the atomizer to properly saturate itself with liquid. Then just insert the pod head and the device is ready to use.
IMG_20250130_152917.jpg


The display:
the display is simple and clear, showing from top to bottom the following information:
- The current power (Watt)
- The battery charge level
- An RGB LED strip that is activated when the pod head is inserted
- The current time, as well as the countdown timer and stopwatch.
The display is easy to read, no squinting or searching required, all information is clearly visible. Below the display is an LED light that can be switched on by pressing the top button twice. The light modes can be switched between by turning the button right and left, with four options: bright light, soft light, strobe mode and SOS mode.

Other extras of the device, such as the stopwatch and the countdown timer, are familiar to everyone, so I won't go into detail about how they work. How useful these features are is a matter of individual preference.

In use
The power output can be adjusted between 12-18 watts, specifically optimised for the 0.8 ohm pod head. It is important to note that pre-filled podheads are also available, in a total of 15 flavours. As the power range is fixed, it cannot be adjusted outside the set values.

With the lower airflow control set to minimum, it provides a tight MTL (mouth to lung) experience, while in the fully open position it may be suitable for RDL (restricted direct to lung) users.

The battery capacity lasted me a full working day (about 9 hours), but this obviously varies depending on usage. I didn't experience the two days of battery life promised by the manufacturer, but a moderate MTL user who, for example, only vape during breaks at work, can easily achieve this duration.
I tested the device with the factory Memers liquids, which I will describe in my next tutorial.

Summary
Positives:
✅ Compact size, comfortable grip even in smaller hands.
✅ Display is clearly visible, no unnecessary decoration or distracting LED strips.
✅ LED light placement is discreet, does not detract from the overall appearance.
✅ The 0.8 ohm pod head ensures good taste reproduction and adequate vapour production.
✅ The power control is prominent enough, but not so prominent that it accidentally gets stuck in a pocket.
✅ The feel of the device is pleasant, with rounded edges and side notches to prevent slipping.
✅ In use, it feels like a transition between a disposable and a pod system - in design it's more like the former, while in function it's reminiscent of the latter.

Negatives:
❌ When placed on a table, it tends to wobble due to the narrow bottom design.
❌ Neck hook and charging cable not included, which may be important for some.
❌ The liquid level can only be checked after removing the pod head, as the pod is tinted and in low light conditions this makes visibility even more difficult.

In summary, it's a well thought out, comfortable to use device that requires a few small compromises. If I've left anything out of the description, I'll leave it to you to discover , as I already felt this test was long enough.

THUNDERHEAD CREATIONS TAUREN VORTEX RDA review by hittman

Hello and welcome to yet another review by yours truly. Today I will be taking a look at the Thunderhead Creations Tauren Vortex 30 RDA that was sent to me by Thunderhead Creations in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. In the past I have reviewed a few other THC products and found them to be of good quality and performed well. The Vortex is a 30mm rebuildable dripping atomizer that promises to provide exceptional flavor combined with dense clouds of vapor. The Vortex has an airflow cap with 42 holes on each of two sides for a total of 84 airflow inlet holes. It makes use of a postless build deck to provide easy building. The liquid well is 10.5mm to allow more usage between fills. It sounds pretty good on paper. I’ll let you know later if it lives up to the promises. I will have a link to the website and a discount code at the end of this review.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:

The packaging for the Vortex is simple but nice. I personally like when there is a viewing window in the front of the box like this one has. The Vortex is the latest in the Tauren series of devices from Thunderhead Creations. The front has the Tauren icon on top along with the name of the device and the logo “Dual Drip Thrill 30”. The back of the box has the THC logo, a list of the contents, and the THC website listed.

1738377323174.png


1738377342900.png


Once the top of the box is removed then you are greeted by the Vortex RDA and the coil cutting guide sitting very tightly in a foam insert. It was so tight in fact that I had difficulty removing the rda and cutting guide. However, this is a great condition for shipping. Underneath the foam insert is where the warranty card, user manual, and accessory bag are located. The accessory bag includes a bottom feed pin, two fused Clapton coils, two allen wrenches that are for changing the 510 pin and for use on the grub screws for the build deck. There are also spare deck screws and o rings included. I personally prefer the allen head deck screws and was happy to see them pre-installed. The coil cutting guide is clearly marked with an arrow on the side telling the user to cut the coil legs at the 6mm setting. It’s nice how the guide openings are curved to help make the coil cutting a little more accurate.

1738377387676.png


1738377411696.png


1738377433904.png


As with any new rda or tank, it’s a good idea to give the Vortex a good wash with some hot and soapy water. The Vortex can be broken down fairly easy except I had difficulty removing the 810 drip tip which was very tight and tip is short which makes it a little hard to get a grip on. The drip tip does not have any o rings on it. The o ring that secures the tip is inside the top cap as you can see in the second picture below.

zSZfMgG.jpeg


1738377494958.png


As I mentioned earlier, there are 42 honeycomb airflow holes on each side of the top cap for a total of 84 holes. The Tauren logo and name are also on the top cap. It stands out nicely on the Silver Black version that I received for this review. You might also notice that the gold plated 510 center pin protrudes from the bottom of the 510 connection in the second picture below.

1738377533118.png


1738377553209.png


The shape of the inner chamber is interesting. The chamber is reduced to enhance flavor production. The cap is easily turned to adjust the airflow since the top cap is one piece. I’ve had some rdas where you just turn the top piece that the tip attaches to and they can sometimes be difficult to grip to adjust the airflow. With this shape, the build deck can only go in one way to match the shape of the deck and inner chamber. It is easy to start seating the chamber on the deck and then turning the cap until it drops down into place. This design also allows for a positive stop when opening and closing the airflow which is a really nice touch in my opinion. The recessed area of the deck allows a liquid capacity rated at 2.5ml.

A Mech Squonker in 2025, really?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a squonk mod -- I know, a bit late to the party, but I was in vaping retirement during the whole cloud chasing craze. Basically, with my renewed interest in vaping, I'm hoping to have at least one of all the methods in my repertoire.

The Empire Squonk looked good on paper (all aluminum, nice refill mechanic, Vaperz Cloud is good in general, 21700, ...) but suffers from a flawed chipset. Even though I have the opportunity to purchase one, I think I'd rather not risk it. I suppose I could retrofit it into a mosfet/mech or PWM though.

Regarding current stuff, the VV Pulse V3 seems to be the crowd favorite for the money anyway, but I really don't dig the all-plastic design and prefer something that can survive a beating. There is also the new Damn Vape Atemporal 21 mod, but again, despite having an aluminum shell, it is really a budget device. Also, I don't really like the styling, and the small tank puts me off. But either of these are likely "good enough for the price".

In my pursuit, I came across the Defiant Designs DS and TS. All aluminum, simple clean styling, dual or triple 18650, and can be had for about the same price as a Pulse. There's a few things I'm not a huge fan of such as the detonator trigger, and it is a bit big... but for a last-forever desktop mod: that's not necessarily a bad thing. My theory now is if I go big, I might as well go all in. The most significant difference over the others, I think, is that this is a mech. Great for longevity, but maybe it just isn't worth dealing with a mech in this day and age? Maybe a mech squonker is the perfect thing to scratch that itch though. I'm quite experienced in electrical engineering, so Ohm's Law doesn't scare me, but fiddling more with builds might prove exhausting.

Finally, I did stumble across the SQ217 as another available option when researching the mech above. I'd rather not drop >$200 though, especially when these other options are quite affordable. But, I'm happy to hear about it from others, or other similar options.

Oh yeah, I have a Asgard Mini, Dead Rabbit RDA Pro, and Sith. I'm considering getting either or both of Nitrous (especially if I spring for the DS or TS since 22mm fits nicely) and maybe an RDA4V V2.

Anyway, what are your thoughts, what would you do? Anyone love or hate any of these? Are there any devices I'm over looking? How do you feel about mechs in the modern era?

Thanks!

Chido - Papaye Citron Raisin

PhotoRoom-20241109_084823.png
Chido - Papaye Citron Raisin
Manufacturer: France/ Chido
Place of purchase: kumulusvape
Recommended blend ratio: 7% aroma for 70/30 PG/VG base
10% aroma for 50/50 PG/VG base
15% aroma for 100% VG base
The Chido collection, made in France, draws inspiration from the vibrant culture and flavours of Mexico to bring you a unique selection of vibrant fruity flavours. A special feature of the range is the Papaye Citron Raisin concentrate, which offers a truly summery, exotic taste experience. In this aroma, the rich sweetness of tropical papaya meets refreshing, tangy lemon and intense, deep grape flavours. The whole is accompanied by a mild, cooling freshness that takes the flavour composition to a new level, making this the perfect choice for tropical flavour lovers and those who want a unique, vibrant taste experience.

Aroma: The cooling effect can be felt on the nose, bringing a subtle cool sensation to the citrus and fruity notes. The fragrance is quite intense and pleasantly acidic.

Flavours: As the flavours progress, the bright, acidic character of the lemon becomes apparent, creating a fresh, refreshing contrast with the sweetness of the papaya. This citrus brightness is just intense enough to provide a tart yet balanced transition, blending harmoniously with the flavours that first emerge.
Deeper, more intoxicating notes of the grape then emerge, giving the blend a richer, slightly astringent nuance. This layer not only adds a new dimension, but also forms an elegant transition between flavours, while the underlying coolness subtly refreshes the overall effect without overpowering the natural, authentic flavours of the fruitiness. The final phase, the finish, focuses on the duality of grape and lemon, which leave an intense yet softly acidic aftertaste on the palate. The experience is refreshingly reminiscent of a cool, fruity cocktail, with each sip or inhale evoking the lush flavours of summer and a refreshing sense of fruity complexity.
Verdict: During the test, I found myself finally dealing with a flavour that doesn't overdo it with either sweetening or cooling. This could indeed be a real “rarity” for fruit flavour lovers in the home collection .

Renewing vaper

Hi everyone. I got back into vaping about a year ago and have primarily settled into RDAs for home use and Boro for on the go after toying around with RTAs and pods for a bit. Lately I've been enjoying the Ponte XL or Steamshell on a Stubby 21 and the Asgard Mini on an Odin V2.

I call myself "renewing" in that I started to toy with vaping maybe 12 years ago. This was when it was really "E Cigarettes". I had the standard Kangertech style clearomizer, NET, you know the drill... That lasted for maybe a year when I found my nicotine input only increased instead of helped curb cigarettes. Well, about about decade later I quit drinking and 6 months after that I quit cigarettes. And I couldn't have done it without vapes.

I enjoy the process of rebuilding, trying new liquids, and everything that comes with it. I haven't gotten into squonking yet, but hope to get a mod sometime (I have my eyes set on an Empire, as I do enjoy Vaperz Cloud in general). I'm also thinking about venturing into DIY liquids in the near future.

Cheers!

Once we open the box, we find the device well fitted and packaged in a custom-made pad. Behind it is a cardboard that hides the double bottom where we find a bag with the coils, the allen keys, the BF Pin... In addition, we find the user manual loose.

As you can see in this photo, at first glance you can see a rough RDA, with really incredible and good materials, which we will talk about later.

Device Inspection

What I show you in this image is the wide deck, where we will put our coil and cotton. When I say wide, it is really wide, keep in mind that this is a 30mm diameter RDA, few mods have a base as large as this RDA to look good, so we are really talking about a beast.

Leaving that aside, comment that this Vortex has a 2.5mL juice well, which is really a barbarity for an RDA and more for me, who usually uses a 22mm single coil.

The way to put the coils in the posts is by unscrewing some screws with the allen keys that are included in the packaging. They really feel quality and it doesn't seem like it's going to loosen anytime soon, however, if the day comes when they do, we can always change them for the ones that come as spares.

For the coils to be in the most perfect way, the manufacturer recommends and points out the 6 on the tool to cut the coils. Also comment that this tool has a curved shape that collects the coil very well and really leaves it flush when cutting it, which seems perfect to me.

As such, putting the coils inside is really easy, we cut them to 6, unscrew, fit the coils, screw and finally align them with our tools, really simple, right?

From this image you can also see the air intake that hits the coil directly. The airflow system they have is quite studied and that is, it enters from above and follows a predetermined path to reach the coil both from the center and from below. Also clarify, although I will repeat it later, that it is a really airy RDA, of those that I have tried (which are not many) clearly the most.

Here we have the coils mounted on the deck, as I always do, I test the product with the coils that come in the packaging. A little reminder of how to stabilize them. We must start by using a very low power and pulsing it so that it heats up, then, little by little we increase the power and with the ceramic tweezers we are giving it to the hot spots, so that little by little they are removed. We increase the power until we see that they turn on relatively quickly and from the center outwards, trying to make the two as even as possible. For me, the sweet spot of power I have found at 100W.

I must admit that there is something that I did not like at first and that is the difficulty with which the pieces are disassembled as taken from the box. They come really fair and very tight, however, after lubricating them a little with liquid they disassemble easily.

In this image we can see the inner bell, which reduces the size and has the ideal shape to make the air flow in the way you want. On the other hand we can see the drip tip also, which is an interchangeable 810, although the one that fits well is the one it originally brings.

As for the air regulation, it is like in all RDAs, we just have to turn the top cap to regulate it, although this RDA is really to go all out with the air intake completely open, that's how I enjoyed it.


Vaping Time
After setting up the coils, stabilizing them, adding the cotton and saturating it with liquid, I'm ready to vape on this beast. Out of curiosity, the coils ended up at 0.10 Ω and I was vaping at around 95W.

Well, first of all, I have to comment on the amount of air that enters this RDA, it's really brutal. Being composed of 84 air holes and also being adjustable, the airflow is tremendous.

As for the flavor, well, here come my doubts. Obviously the flavor is present, you can feel it, it's there, but I don't think it's an RDA focused on obtaining flavor, but on obtaining vapor. Comparing it with an Oumier Wasp Nano RDA, single coil of 22mm, the amount of flavor that atomizer produces is much higher than the Vortex. For this reason, I affirm with clarity that the Vortex is an atomizer focused on the production of vapor clearly, because the clouds it releases are incredible.

Conclusion
In a few words, this atomizer, the Vortex, is an RDA to be completely brutal, mount really large coils with a lot of mass, and generate a very dense cloud of vapor. The flavor is there, of course, you can feel it, you can perceive it, but it is not its strong point by a long shot. As for its materials, they are really good, you can tell it is built to be durable.
