Erm I wouldn't bother pocketing a vela, even SS. I see those as Jewelry, or bling vape. If you want function, pocketable, and hard hitting stealth mech, the Bear Brass Mod, Steam Punk in 18350 mode will rock your world. Of course you will have to find one of those classifieds side or wait till the next list opens. 14500 is nice, but limited. There is a new 14500 out that is almost a dead copy of a chi-you/vela and yes, it will command the same nonsense in "I must have that" once it becomes known, but your choice of RBA's/RDA's for those mods are small, in every sense. Hint: it's coming from Korea, and no, not from Mojo.
I'm keeping my Vela's and Chi's as a functioning part of my daily vape. As for the drama, I'm sure it will die off as more drama will inevitably ensue.
