It looks like a playpen toy to me. I could see the babysitter seeing it and tossing it in the playpen. :shock:

To me ABS just doesn't cut it. The look, the feel, just the overall appearance. Yeah, I know it's the "newest thing"but I'm a died in the wool old schooler.

Every body has their own preference :)
I don't mind abs :) I have a lot of 3D printed mods, Plastic holds up good :)
TBH I can't understand the dislike for Plastic? Some of my best mods are Plastic!

I have had issues with cheap mystery metal out of china! The VT75 Nano has connection issues from mystery metal to Stainless steal 510 :( (resistance jumps)
BB wont even do TC cause of same issue! Were the drip tip meets the BB is not a solid enough connection for stable resistance :( & it's aluminum !
a solid aluminum box is great! But thats unlikely from a China mod, more than likely mystery metal :( I'l take ABS over Chinese Mystery Metal all day long :)

BTW Plastic mod!

Probably one of the biggest reasons for why I don't like plastic mods, has to due with more than the plastic though in this case.

I'm pretty good at getting the China lathe milk out of my "imported" atty's, I remove all pieces including o-rings.
After a good scrub with tooth brush and dish liquid it gets a really hot water rinse, near boiling.
O-rings and tiny pieces get soaked in 91% alcohol.
My last Entheon though I had to do twice and it still had a trace left. It appeared really clean upon arrival but smelled badly.
I think my alcohol deal is deficient, going to put more effort into that.
It was this one:
$8.35 Entheon Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - 304 stainless steel / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
BTW, I would buy another of same...if I was to buy another.
It' OK now.

The elusive Drone with the 250c is $$ but the Vapecige 250c BF'er is a good choice!
I don't know about anybody else, but the Triade (and probably the Drone [if I ever got my hands on one]) are one of the most comfortable mods I ever held in my hands. The Aegis 100W is also very comfortable too, even though it is a single cell mod, but the Triade like thing just still feels better to me. Even more so than the Reuleaux style, but that isn't bad to hold either.

The Vapecige 250c is a pretty strange shape to me and I don't know if I would like holding it. Worse is they don't have the buttons on the end of the mod, but in the middle on the widest part. That would be great if it was a radio or something. But does others really find this style comfortable to use? And having all of that juice close by the board doesn't sound smart idea to me either. Maybe I should get one and try it (and keep it away from the babysitter). :unsure:

    My 2 (1 OG 1 SXK) do it just fine, all day. I always snug down that top connector with a quarter, and the innards stays bone dry (what some people think is condensation). Matched up all my profiles to be in the same order as my big mods, and added SS430.

    My favorite form factor as well. All I need to do is look at a single cell mod and it'll tip over.

    I use these Ohm Man DT's, no way to torque them down with a quarter like the OG tip :( Resulting in diminished connectivity ='ing no TC :(
    But Dam it looks Good! :)
    I run an Exocet with 26 gauge Kanthol in power mode, the boost cycle on the DNA 60 makes for a nice hit :)
    BTW I also added all the profiles I usually use :)

    I bought a pack of the Aspire .7 coils, and have used 1 in power mode. Boost was great. I find I'm usually using the clone exocet as well, to me it's my higher nic stealth/pod and rebuildable. (2x28 unkamen ss430 + 40 wrap) about 3 or 4 wraps.
    The OG software setup was minimal at best. I've now got their 2018 logo about 90% of the way there to being my new Primary startup.

    The .5 & .3 Aspire Clapton wire coils are Great! I have several as alternatives :)
    I like the Exocet the best! I have the insider & the Vape shell All Clones of coarse :)
    I find the Boro works as good as any single coil atty, K-F V5, Squape X dream, Hurricane v3 :) IMO it's a must have for a small stealth mod, that looks stylish :)

    I went a little over board with the DT's & Stab wood panels, but hey most of my mods are functional Not Stylish. Nice to have some thing that looks good to :)
