Go for it! lol...you'll be hard pressed to find an 
I feel you mongo,that waiting game sure blows don't it,am waiting for the peerless to arrive,then I'll get the lost vape therion sqonker and the Druga from the same place,I want a sqonk mod for my Gaia rdta,love that little tank but I have to fill it too often sigh:-/ hope you get you're icon soon,watched a review on it today from jai haze and he ripped it a new one,he actually put up two vids on the icon saying it gets and stays extremely hot,you'll soon find out soon I guess,let us know what you think when you get a chance to play with it my friend;-)Mine's on the way still....I made a misake and ordered from myvpro.
LOL thanks. I don't really vape at very high wattages of temps...450f 40w with a 65w 1 second preheat. I know Jai and Mike have their grievances, so naturally he's ripping an atty that has his name on it lol.
Ya you're right,he went as far as using a laser heat gun on the barrel and everything lol,you gotta check it out man he's a tool,it had me cracking up,who does that lol.talk to you soon my friend;-)
I've watched a couple of his videos. He's basically Mike Vapes with a tattoo, a speed bike and a limited vocab lol. I usually stick to reviewers like Deano (Vaping Biker) and Tony (Vapor Trail Channel) and Nick's (GrimmGreen) oddball stuff lol. They're honest reviewers that don't come off douchey.
Agreed again,don't much care about Grimm I think he makes a lot of mistakes for a seasoned vaper,used to watch his Chanel until I asked him a question one day and he responded back with zero help,how busy he was blah blah blah so I wished him luck and up subbed ASAP,Deano on the other hand is the coolest dude out there,I would love to meet him in person because he seems so down to earth,anytime I've ever posted a comment or asked a question he's always replied back,good guy Dean without a DOUGHT,all those other yoyos get a big head after they hit 40 k subs it seems,;-)
This is on my wishlist....something tells me I would eventually replace those 'screws' with titanium nuts and use a socket wrench (lol).
Hi mongo got a question for you that I hope you can help me with if you wouldn't mind, I've always had issues with getting rdas to vape smoothly,I got my peerless rda yesterday and it's no different,coils are in perfect,even on both sides,glowing good but it vapes harsh,turbulent,tried moving the coils up and down,cotton is snug,not too tight or loose but nothing seems to help SIGH,I coil and sick them up just like everyone else does but never get a good experience,I want to get that Druga sooo bad and even the icon but am sure I'll get the same results,what could I be doing wrong? Have you ever add the same issues when you first started using rdas?
Strange. Turbulence usually occurs when your airflow isn't directly aimed at your coils, and you don't have enough cotton in them. I have the same issue with the peerless when I don't put enough cotton in the coils (and I use alien claptons) Try turning the airflow down just a notch, vape it, then turn it down a touch more...repeat until the whoosh calms down. If it doesn't, maybe give thicker coils a try. Wide open, the peerless is a little whooshier than others. (and I think it has to do with the air holes being in a honeycomb pattern, and the oddball build posts.)
Perfect examples: my Buddha RDAs are a little whooshier than my others, because of their honeycomb airflow. My Kryten and Druga are only whooshy wide open. (too airy imo) I can't call the Druga turbulent at all...airflow turned down about 25 percent, it's a very smooth pull. The curved inner top cap really calms down airflow.
Forgot to ask: did you try both afc's with the peerless? You may get better results with the black chuff cap.

Thanks for getting back to me bud,ya I have the black cap on it now,am running 3 mm alien coils using demon killer wire,6 wraps and it's coming in at .27 .28 hitting them at 56 watts,I tried moving the coils up so that the bottom of the coils are just a air above the bottom holes on the air flow,it helped out just a touch but not much,am running the exact build on my Gaia and it's smooth,I just ordered the icon and if I still have the same issues I guess my skill level is just not high enough for drippers,or am just too picky when it comes to air flow being smooth on drippers,I decided to go with the icon instead of the Druga cause it looks a little easier to build on,plus it comes with more stuff like extra screws,you'll gets yours before I get mine am sure,you'll have to let me know how you're making out with it,at least am not alone thinking the peerless isn't that smooth lol,thanks again for the pointers I'll keep plugging along to see if I can get it to vape smoother but it ain't looking promising lol;-)
I'll have the icon today. It seems like a great rda, but it's going to have to wow me to make me prefer it over the druga. Nothing wrong with being picky...it's kept me from throwing money away on lots of rda's and rta's.
No kidding? The Druga is that good? Dam am really looking forward to your thoughts on the icon since I just ordered it lol,my problem is that in my quest for smooth air flow I keep buying stuff lol,am happy for you as I know when ever I get vape Mail it's like Christmas;-) hope you really enjoy my friend looking forward to hearing from you soon;-)
BTW post some pics of your build and wicking if you can,am sure it'll help me out when mine comes in ( PLEASE) ;-)
LOL I'm lazy, so I usually use prebuilt SS fused claptons that I space slightly on my TC RDAs. It has a very similar build deck to the Peerless, though the airflow on the iCON is more directed and quite a bit smother (not whooshy at all wide open) Also, the squonk pin is flush vs the elongated pin on the Peerless. I'm getting the same exact flavor out of it that I am getting from the Druga. It's an impressive little RDA, and I'm not getting any 'hot topcap that stays hot' issues that a certain reviewer was complaining about. Loaded it up with some cotton, fluffed it out a little and curled it under the coils, and it's wicking and vaping very smoothly. I was in the process of straightening the coils up a bit so I know it looks a little crooked lol
Dam you don't waste any time lol,thanks for the pics bud;-) so way better than the peerless? And smoother? That will help me sleep better tonight? As good as the Druga? Better? Same? Is it easier building on the icon compared to the Druga?LOL I'm lazy, so I usually use prebuilt SS fused claptons that I space slightly on my TC RDAs.

Hey mongo tell me that Drone/Icon setup is the best setup ever!LOL I'm lazy, so I usually use prebuilt SS fused claptons that I space slightly on my TC RDAs.

It is...with Drone/Druga an incredibly close second. I just ordered a 30mm squonk RDA from China. It's gonna take...oh, I dunno, 2 weeks or so to get here, so I'll give you my impressions when it does.
