Thanks, TD! I'm a bit of a technogeek. Things like this catch my eye. But I think I'd still spring for the SX M class or an SX350J board and throw something together myself... I'm wondering how long that 1200mAh Li-Po would run @ 260W(?!?).
I agree, the SX Mini M puts out 60w, plus it's upgradable and has plenty of power. They can be upgraded to 150 with the dual battery setup but that add on chamber is uglee and you don't need the power anyway. flawless sells the VTs for 850 ..I'd rather buy a VaporShark, an SX Mini M, and a couple of REOs instead

I bought these not realizing they were mini cups. The picture on the package is twice the size of the real cup. No wonder you get 24. in there. You used the amount of recipe that would make 8-10 cones to make 24 in order for it to appear to be a value deal. Who makes these decisions? Typical marketing geared toward duping the public out of a little more of their money.

Hey, I'd carry a Variant Ti around in a heartbeat!

I could just see the faces at my local B&M, when I walked in complaining that it didn't have an eVod adapter... Saying I should just probably get an iClear 30 for it instead, or would an Aerotank mini be too much? :lol:

They would talk about it for days!
I was charging all of my iStick's the other day and had to bring out the Sigelei Zmax tele' and it looked like a full sized Zeppelin and I forgot how heavy it was!
oh my.gif
:laugh: Still is a pretty cool mod. It performs great. What I still don't like about it is the one button menu's. :)

Morning Nanny, Tibs, Gran and whom ever is lurking! :)

Yes indeed the SX350J housed in exotic wood or something milled would be the way to go with a 26650 or Li-Po.

260W's off of the 1200mA would probably last as long as my IPV2s at 70W from it's single 18650. You might get a good hour...

Hand check!
Variant 260W, VA Goliath with all 8 coils installed and a 500ml bottle of Rip Trippers brand axle grease!

I was just watching a disassembly video of the 20. I don't think I really need or want to disassemble it to put an o-ring in. It was good to see how long the hot wire is because now I know how much play there is to put the ring in. Now I have to find the bag of o-rings that I've misplaced. That'll probably be the hardest part of the operation. :facepalm::laugh:

Good call, IMRs! I also found it unnecessary to disassemble the 20 to install the o-ring.

I located the bag of o-rings. They were actually sent to me for replacements on drip tips. I think they are too big for the iStick (1.5 x 6MM).
Aldenf, do you recall the size that you used?
