Penny on a piccolo, totally pocket friendly, no leaks, to me a very easy setup and it uses silica which is approved for vaping, i dont think mesh is so i stay clear away from that. i also have a spheroid v2 which i never use so it will be in the classifieds very soon.

I got the penelope-clone Euforia from vaporfreak and I'm pretty much sold on the GG-atty design. Followed with a term-c that vapes very nicely as well. I'll most likely end up with a genuine penelope. The NR wires take about a minute to wrap together, and I've only been doing it a couple weeks.

I haven't tried them all (spheroid, etc.) but for a pocket-friendly no-leak design the penny is solid.

I'm not entirely sure which imaginary gonverning body has approved silica and not stainless steel mesh.

Is there an official site where they are sold? Post a link please. The name sounds Russian. Are they made in Russia?

It's a Russian design, but they are made in Germany. I don't think they are in stock anywhere right now, but those who sells it are usually Cloud9Vaping and Digitalsteam.de , there's a couple more as well, but can't remember the names.

Phoenix rda should not even be on an honorable mention list. Threw mine in the garbage can, where it belongs. A cheap SS RDA that works well is the IGO-L.

that's crazy talk

a phoenix with vertical SS mesh & 2 to 4 wraps of 28 kanthal on a mech is my fave vape. the most cigarette-like hit of any device / topper I have.

beats down the igo-l any day (which I also have, right now setup with a dual coil SS mesh & kanthal 28, but I guess the smaller chamber on the phoenix delivers a hotter vape)


well... I'll admit, it comes down to whether you like a hot / fast or cooler / longer drags, I prefer the former.

I have a Penny and I'm a big fan, but after using a GP Spheroid for the past several weeks, I think I like it better. The flavor's a little cleaner, and it absolutely does not leak.

Could not agree more. I have my Spheroid and this is by far the best vape that I have ever used. Silica, 30g wire, 1.3 ohms and the taste is soooo clean and the clouds are fantastic from a very short draw on this device!

I have the Penelope and a few Terminators . The Terminators Or a little stiffer on the pull but the taste and the vapor match the penelope.
Also the terminators are a little more forgiving on coil wrapping since theres some more room in the cup. I say if the size doesnt matter and you dont mind clones. Go for a terminator.
