This is a literal bargain bin treasure. Got this and a BUNCH of other great stuff in a good sized plastic bin from a guy on craigslist for 40 dollars. Piecing it out I figure this mod and rda cost me about 5 or 6 bucks.

OOOOOO NICE!

I have an Authentic Panzer and just love it! Indestructible. Mine was a gift from a friend.

This one is the really good clone that has the "Carpe Diem" gas mask logo on the button.
Yes, it is built like a tank and would probably survive being dropped from an airplane. Great performer too. I also have the copper Red Phoenix Panzer which was in the same bin.

How do you polish resin? This will be my first resin mod. I’m planning on putting it in the stash but would like to polish it before hand.

Some medium sandpaper to rough up the surface, working from say 320 grit down to 800-1000. The I switched to micro mesh pads I got on Amazon and just worked through th pads until reaching the 8000-12000 buffing pads. It essentially the same as polishing stabwood but requires less effort.

    Yup they do work,but, it takes some playing to get it figured out. But less time than finding the English translation :cry:

    It actually turned out to be very easy. Screw the coil into the knurled base of the adapter and screw that into the top piece of the adapter and slide the whole thing into the atty. I’m running a .5 ccell now at 24 watts and it’s really good.

    I had missed those when I was browsing a week or so ago... I mean I saw them, but I did not know they came with a GT adapter until you guys started discussing it... So I went back yesterday and grabbed 4 of them, 2 in black and 2 in silver. $3 each and only $4 shipping. :D

    I bought two silver at first then went back after I tried one and got two more silver, a black, and a blue.

    I planned on two silver, two black and one blue. I accidentally doubled up on the silver, and I'm glad!
    Now you both got me thinking I should have ordered more and I haven't even gotten my 4 yet. lol

    I haven't bothered to look because it comes with a GT adapter... You can get pretty good deals on GT coils at vaporl and vaprzon.

    I tried to buy ten boxes at vaporl and it would only allow two so I just got more from FT. They are higher but if you buy ten then you get about $8 in discount and shipping is free.

    My 2¢: Regardless of the price, with millions of users, they do present a problem with plastic waste. Even if refillable, how long? The disposable culture is disturbing.
    The two products that I have had break within 30 days of purchase were both mods. And both of those were external battery You could argue that same thing about any Vape product that has internal batteries they're not going to last more than 300 charges usually and if they don't have a replaceable battery then they become trash. And that is only if they don't break before their battery life Runs Out

    It just dawned on me that you're probably referencing the pods that do not have exchangeable coils but rather you have to exchange the entire pod I don't have one of those I guess what I have would be considered an all-in-one. That being said if you're going to compare the Pod to cigarettes you're probably not going to come up with more waste than cigarettes and at least to my knowledge there's never been a way to reuse cigarette butts. you'll probably come up substantially less waste products even with Todd's that require you to change the entire pod then you would with sat equivalent amount of cigarettes with the only big huge difference being the battery any battery those are resource suckers and there's very little recycling or reusing done as far as I know

    Sounds just like how I polish most of my stabwoods. Thanks!
