I dunno, I actually prefer the red to the blue (the blue is all gone, all that is left are the reds at Vapinart, and I looked EVERYWHERE). I'm kind of daydreaming about this Calix to go with it:

That's my set up and I LOVE it. Pics a few posts above your post if you missed it.

You're lucky enough to have one with stainless steel buttons/battery cover, mine will have that awful hideous brass which would probably wouldn't look so good with a stainless atty. Yours looks good though :)

I'm telling ya, Stealthy, I felt the same way you do. The mod is SO good/nice that you might see right past it.

I have to agree. It's just such an awesome device the buttons will probably "disappear" fairly quickly.

Yep. I even threw a "patina" wrap on my brass one, just to embrace the concept. 18 months (or so) later, the buttons are FINE.

Perfect size, shape, button placement, and overall performance. It's one of two mods (make/model) that are absolutely indispensable to me. Stealthy was not pleased with the other one, so I'm hoping he likes this one better.

I wouldn't trade either of them for anything.

Can I see what the "patina" wrap looks like?? Pretty please!

I don't know, brass would not have been my first choice, but I think it looks pretty snazzy with a "gold" tank.

It doesn't look bad with a stainless either.

Mixing metals is all the rage and in style these days!

I love that! ;-)

And they DO look good (yours). Agree it total ("Maybe not first choice, BUT...")

Pic, as requested. They have a bunch of variations (and BOGO this weekend!). Not a perfect fit, but I chose to leave it as is. I like it. A quick snip with an exacto would take care of the runoff.

For some reason I can't help but think Boba Fett is missing one of his mods!

You said it KD ... more than that, it's actually grown on me - and I enjoy hunting for drip tips that pull it all together :D

Hurry sweetie. You have a bit over 2 months before that drip is officially a TOBACCO PRODUCT.

:facepalm:

What RTA (if any) is everone using on the Xvostick?
I am looking for one that can do single coil, has topfill and a velocity style deck (or at least posts instead of screws, I hate screws to trap my wire!)
I tried the Merlin, Bachelor Nano and Bellus on it, and so far only the Bellus seems to work. The other 2 have issues with controlling the juiceflow control in the Xvostick. If anybody has some decent tips what other RTA works and meets my specs I'll be glad to hear it :)

Have you taken a look at the SQuape X [dream]? I haven't used one but reviews seem positive (that it vapes like a Squape) and it hits a lot of your needs

I think the shut off design is perfect for the Xvo too. Chels might claim the 510 is liquid proof but I don't want to risk having to send mine back to Isreal so I make sure to remove the 510 plate and clean up any spills when they happen (PITA)

Really like the Squape, certainly now a single coil deck is on the way...it's just so tall, hoping they bring a nano version soon.

It's on my list, but not sure if the juice control of this one will also be a PITA on the Xvostick....have you tried it on the Xvo?

Much tighter juice flow control than the merlin....should work fine in xvo.

Pretty much the same build deck as the merlin just the obs only has 2 holes for wires.

I prefer the obs over the merlin....but both are great for my vape style.
