I am NOT one having issues with the Legend's screen. It doesn't seem right but it's actually one of the few mods I haven't DROPPED yet. I would do it, just to find out, but that seems like just ASKING for trouble, I'm sure it WILL get dropped. LOLZ.

Another plus one for the Smoant Cylon being like a better handfeel Energizer Bunny and I HAVE dropped that one, quite HARD several times.

I thought mine wasn't either until I had the lights off in the theater room to watch a movie, and only noticed it because the room was dark.
Only the backlight turns on, not the entire screen.

Haven't heard much but good about the OG Aegis and you can buy a cap to use a 2x700 battery. For me the size and shape is awkward.

My original is great, but I don't use it that often because it is bulky and HEAVY.
It is very much bullet-proof though.

Well, I was enjoying a Savage round of croquet on the east lawn and my backlight came on as well. I had James, my Butler, remove it to the library immediately as I found it a distraction.

Ok, ok....it's a lie. I don't have an Aegis .

Everytime I see your avatar I reach for a dog treat, at this house it's usually a lemon oreo.

The theater room of a small installation where I was on temporary duty (in a galaxy far far away), not mine.
it was graciously provided not only by myself but also you lovely taxpayers (whether you wanted to or not). :pervy:

The back light issue and battery life are the only problems I'm having with the Legend SO FAR.

I figure I'll see if they issue a F/W update that fixes it.
It doesn't really see much use either because of its bulkiness. My Paranormals are just more comfortable.

Someone desperately, desperately wants a "home theater" system and room.

I do too, but mainly so I can then sell my mansion for profit and travel. :D

Anna

Well, 'technically' you've both helped pay for a few.
The ones I've used were a nice distraction.
I'll be sure and think of you both the next time I use one of them.
That's a lie. I probably won't, but thanks just the same. :lol: :pervy:

Granted I briefly owned the two battery punk, but man, I have small hands and don't find it big and bulky, really. I mean, I wouldn't bring it if I were rock climbing or something... But, I'd be happy enough to shove it in my purse, probably.

I can see it being rather large for the application it's best suited to, an all day work mod of some type, it is kinda heavy for that. IDK if the one battery mod is similarly suited, but I'd think if I were carrying stuff in pockets which I never do, I might rather bring a second battery in a second pocket. I don't find it so big and heavy, it has a nice balance to it.

The man assumes I pay taxes. LOL, enjoy your home theater, which is just like any OTHER theater.... Away from "home" sort of yeah.

I will say, I don't have to "fly" to my living room TV. It's elderly, but the speakers are decent.

LOL, and yes I do pay taxes, so enjoy your "home theater" you deserve it I'm quite certain, all you lot do. :)

It's definitely different now than when I went on my very first deployment.
Back then we had a deck of cards and maybe a chess/checker set.
I don't think the current gen would survive without e-mail, skype, video games, etc. :lol:

P.S. I don't "fly" to the TV or theater either, I "float" there on a cloud of vapor. ;)

Bought 2 rba heads 1 for the smok procolor and 1 for the mag kit. There was fire and smoke when the press fit positive post came loose mid vape. Thankfully I was outside and my son's instruction on proper technique for the hand grenade toss came into play! The mag kit shorted as well but the mod survived maybe, it takes several tries to get it going after a battery change now. The kicker is Smok is blaming me for user error! I won't be buying more Smok hardware. So the thinning has begun after only 3 months.

This kind of thing is why you've never seen any one recommend Smok in the new members forum..

Glad your okay, for real.

Trust me I never will again. That's twice in a week a mod flamed out on me, yep late today the mag box gave in. It just took a bit longer. I'm just thankful that the Burn unit in Portland did not have to scramble a team for a Mercy Flights arrival.

The suggestions everyone gave are spot on.. the Aegis is good, Smoant is as well and so is AsMODus...

Have fun shopping! :)

Get something with a DNA board in it.

If you only need 75W or less one of these should work:

This one uses the new DNA 75 Color board, and can use either a 26650 or 18650 battery.
Blowout: HCigar VT75C DNA 75C Box Mod $70.99 & Free Shipping - Cheap Vaping Deals

This one uses the DNA 75C as well and single 18650, 20700, OR 21700 battery.
Lost Vape Mirage 75W DNA 75C Box Mod | Vaping Devices

One more DNA 75C single battery mod:
The Rebel Mod - Evolv DNA 75C (Single 2x700)

For dual batteries with the same board:

HCigar VT 75D
or
Lost Vape Therion
or
Lost Vape Paranormal.

If you need more than 75W then try one of these:

HCigar VT 250S (This can actually be used in either 2 or 3 battery configuration)
or
ThinkVape Finder 250C

Problem is the price places tack on when it says DNA. I know how much I can get those boards for.


Worth a mention...some are having screen issues with the Aegis Legend. Believe @bigbob2322 is one of them.

:evil: I just ordered one!
Ya pays your money, takes your chances.

Cylon screen dying is why I ordered the Legend.
After the chunk of screen I just lost I figure it won't be long before I can't see to set it.
