    ACHILLES RDA by Titanium Mods

    Good point, you're remembering the damned thing correctly. Important other point: you must remove the top cap to refill, as opposed to refilling through the drip-tip (you'll get a leak through the chimney out the air inlet if you do). With the Magma, you can get away with a drip-tip top-off...

    ACHILLES RDA by Titanium Mods

    The AFC ring is loose by design, until you tighten the barrel down over it. Are you familiar with Magmas? It works pretty much the same. You align the holes, forming your favorite crescent-moon shape, hold it with the finger of one hand while you tighten the barrel with the other.

    I can't speak for pre-builts from Ebay, but I've used 30AWG 1.5Ω coils from Fasttech without any problems, and I'm sure the ones you have aren't significantly different. Meter your build before you fire it, but after that, relax.

    ACHILLES RDA by Titanium Mods

    Welllllll....?? Meanwhile (back at the ranch), my 2nd Achilles II landed in my mailbox after an extended, 14 day purgatory. The Christmas mail crush may have been responsible for an extra day or two, but you guys with Achilles IIs in limbo can probably figure on the better part of two weeks...

    That's probably taking defensive pessimism a bit too far, but it would be safe to say you won't see it in 2015.

    Be prepared for a delay once your package reaches the port of entry, guys; this happened with my first and it's happening again with the second, which has been stateside since the 19th but has yet to reach my mailbox. Although it's very unlikely ISIS will shoot down the cargo jet, US Customs...

    ACHILLES RDA by Titanium Mods

    That depends on which P2.5 you're talking about. The limit on a V1 is 2.5A (9.38W@ 1.5V). The problem I have running that close to the limits is that coil resistances have a way of migrating on me. The meter will swear up and down that I'm at 1.7, but the device will report 1.6; over a period of...

    You might want to aim a little higher than 1.5 ohms on a P2.5. That's the lower limit that they'll fire, and I've gone through a little heartache trying to do the same thing. 1.8 ohms gives me a little buffer when using a 2.5. Sent from my 710C using Tapatalk

    I personally think the nic reduction thing to be an overstatement (I read the same thing in the website). I'm old school and vape 18-24mg liquid; I made no reduction for the Achilles and felt no ill-effects, just a highly saturated flavor very dense vapor. Sent from my 710C using Tapatalk

    In any event, you were right. I can just picture the guy amid bomb blasts, pounding swords into plow shares and MIG-29 tail sections into RBAs [emoji6] Sent from my 710C using Tapatalk

    ACHILLES RDA by Titanium Mods

    I started vaping back in '09, and a lot of crazy modding was going on using everything from tea bags to flashlights to aquarium filters to toy grenades, but dripping was the only way to go: a 510 atomizer, four or five drops (keep a Kleenex handy), take a few draws, then drip again. Now, after...

    I can't count the number of mediocre POS I went through before I stumbled onto the Achilles. This is your first try, and you hit it dead on--the best there is. And on Christmas, no less. It must be Divine Inspiration o_O

    Now you see? All that trouble you went to building up an emotional fortress of expecting the worst all went for naught o_O Trust me on this one: it'll look even better in your hands than it does in all the photographs.

    I used to use that same sort of self-dishonesty when playing Monopoly: I'd try to save money for a rainy day by hiding it from myself under the board, hoping I'd forget about it until I really needed it. It didn't work.

    That 4-6 week thing is worst-possible-case caution on the part of Provape, Jim. I ordered mine on 12-15, got the shipping notice on 12-16 and found it tucked into my mailbox on 12-21.

    Titanium Mods has been busy with a new line of drip tips; not sure I like any of them (especially not at €50 for the set), although the manifold whistle tip is interesting, Drip tips kit (5 pieces) - Titanium mods from Ukraine:
