Let me know what you think of the VCC when you get some. They had a booth at the convention I just went to and they were allowing people to come over and re wick there atties with VCC. I hung around to see what people thought and I did not hear a single bad word, in fact most people left with three jars of VCC for $20 which is unreal. I left with 15 jars for $100. That much VCC would cost $220 at my shop. The jar does I would say 15 dual coils a strip IME so you can probably re wick about 30 coils.

Viper Vapor and Kidney Punch are both out. I'm not in a hurry so, it'll be a treat for later on.

Thanks again!
Here's another place, cheapest I've seen yet. I used to order it straight through vapers choice cottons website but it doesn't look like you can anymore.Vapers Choice Cotton | Vape Street

I don't believe so but even if you could remove it there's no adapter with the atty so you'd only be able to put in another chuff style tip.
Damn that sucks, I'm not really a chuff kinda guy lol I mean I like the options every now and then but to have it ALL the time, I don't think I could. How are you liking it though?

I'm enjoying it quite a bit. The flavor is probably better than a Tugboat with SC and is an airier draw. I would've liked a 510 drip tip adapter just to have different options and I would've preferred etched logos rather than the way they did them.
Agreed, main reason I didn't get it was cause of that. Still a nice piece though. And I give flawless credit for not hyping this up and not releasing it till ECC like almost every other company is doing right now.

@jhhollier ,

What ever came of the Vaponaute - Le Magister? Did I miss your update?
Yeah, I posted some impressions earlier in the thread. Not impressed. First off, the deck is removable for easier cleaning (I think that's the reasoning). You unscrew the deck which comes out as one long piece with the 510 and center post. Okay. So... you screw that whole piece back in and you're cautioned to make sure it's nice and tight. Maybe mine's defective but that deck piece? Every time I tighten the atty down on a mod that stupidly designed removable deck piece spins. Every. Freaking. Time. So the 510 screw has also spun since it's all once piece meaning that where that screw enters the well? Yep, juice leaks. Every. Freaking. Time. It doesn't matter how tight I screw in the deck piece it will spin when I put the atty on a mod. Infuriating to say the least. Apparently I'm like the only person in existence who has had this happen which leads me to suspect one of two things: (1) Everyone else that has posted about the Le Magister has decided to pretend the atty has no issues and vapes just wonderfully because it's an oooooh high-end atty or (2) Mine's defective.

The flavor when I actually vaped from it was underwhelming. It wasn't as muted as, say, a MutX V3 wide open but it certainly wasn't the flavor beast I was led to believe it was. 1-10 scale the flavor for me was about a 5. The draw is restrictive but it's not bad. The feel and look of the atty are quite nice but IMO it's not worth $135. Not even close. The Zenith will probably blow the Le Magister away just because it doesn't have that idiotic removable deck. I mean that was seriously a ridiculous design decision. Even if you couldn't remove the deck piece it would be fairly easy to clean! The juice well or "tank" if you will is not very deep and you could simple soak the thing in warm water and Dawn and be done with it. A Q-Tip would easily fit in to scrub if you want to. It was not needed and I really have no idea why Vaponaute did that.

Wow. No deck at all! Looks good though.
Yeah, that deck (or almost lack thereof) made me do a double take. I'm still holding out for the new Derringer. I'll be curious to see how the Thump performs and I'm sure multiple folks from the thread will pick one up. I'll live vicariously through you all lol

Like I said, maybe it's just mine. Maybe it's defective or something but honestly I don't see anything that could be missing or cracked/damaged. It just feels like a poorly thought out design. A friend of mine with more experience is gonna mess around with it and see what's going on. If it seems defective I'm getting my money back and officially I'm done with these high-end attys.
