:closedeyes: I didn't see that.

I first saw that mod last week and pulled the trigger the other night. With all the positive reviews sigelei mechs have been getting, and the fact that it has a 510 connector that's level with the flat top, as they all should be, it wasn't too hard a sell. Never had a bottom button before, but I have high hopes for this mod.

For out and about all day use at work I actually use a Natural v2 with a Terminator-C.

Is that really a pocket rig? Seems like it won't be much smaller than the Provari and agat2 I already have. Maybe with the medium sized Terminator? But those don't seem to be available anywhere.

And yeah, it does look kinda goofy on the K100...

It's on the large side, but it's not bad in 18350 mode. I use it in 18650 mode with an MNKE usually for the extra battery life. I've tried the low-profile setups in the past and always wind back up with a bigger battery and tank for ease of use (i.e. not constantly tinkering with it). The regular Terminator would be ideal, but yeah they're out of stock and probably won't be back in favor of the -C. I'm a chain vaper and need the capacity. The regular terminator on the KTS (or similar) would be pretty small and last quite a while, but it looks goofy since the Terminator is much wider. The small Terminator is considerably shorter and narrower than its bigger brother, and doesn't look bad at all. The KTS with small Terminator is what I use on short out and about trips, the Natural with Term-C I use at work throughout the week.

Here are some of my small setups

DID standard/GG Stealth

IGO-S/Smoktech SS Telescope (dripper, I know. But no loose top cap issues with me)

DID Gemini/GUS Telescopic (my go to pocket vape)

You might want to do a search for the UDT-L mod. It is small, cheap, and the connector diameter is the same as an IGO-L. I'll post a pic.

I got this setup to be used primarily as a pocket/stealth vape for when I'm at work and in the field. The Smoktech Natural and IGO-L. With a shorty drip tip, and a hybrid SS/cotton wick at 0.7 ohms, it's a steam train, and nearly indestructible. It's also VERY small for a mod/RBA, and perfect for sticking in your pocket.

I've been loving it so much, I have barely even TOUCHED my other devices in the last month or so. I vape it all day at work, and then the rest of the day when I get home. I love it.

It leaks in a pocket, though. I keep posting that in different threads, but I want people to be aware that it will leak out the airhole unless you barely drip on the wick and vape it all before pocketing.

ONLY IF YOU OVERFILL IT! Mine sits sideways ALL day, and (as stated again and again) only leaks if I put in too much juice. All it takes is 2-4 drops to top it off, and no leaking whatsoever.

Call me crazy, but isn't dripping more of a pain while on the go? But maybe I'm just not familiar enough and need to give one a try.

My experience with dripping is with the HH357. I use it to test juices before I load up a carto or tank with them. It's clumsy but fine when at home with a table next to me.

The size of the IGO is obviously great but ideally I want something that can hang out in my pocket, not leak, and be able to be pulled out to take some nice pulls on it without keeping a separate bottle and having to drip it. But I've been spoiled having a great working AGA so now I know what these rbas can do when setup properly. I want that satisfying of a vape experience but just in a smaller form factor. I know cartos and clearos can fill my needs but I personally don't like to vape with them.

Just shrink my Provari and AGA down and I'll be happy! It's too large for a pocket! Am I super just super needy?

It's one of those things I want to....a nano size 2 ml skinny pyrex rebuildable cartoatty. A tiny Killer that works right. Irredescence on the Pyrex is essential and it must be easy to rebuild. I'm waiting and it will come. Just visualize. I really loved all the stealth mods and dripping rebuildables though. The igo-s especially.

I have an AGA too, and while I love it, it now sits unused. I get about 10-15 pulls off of about 4 drops. I've gotten used to dripping. Keeping a 3ml bottle in my pocket is just second nature now, and doesn't bother me in the slightest. It takes about 10 seconds to put a few more drops in the IGO, and considering how amazing the vape is, I think it's well worth it.

EDIT: a dripping RBA and 3ml bottle is still smaller than a genny style RBA

Hearing stuff like this makes me think I just need to shut up and try an IGO. And maybe just learn how to drip better. I'm only getting 3 good pulls off of the 357 with the process of leading up 6 drops, testing with tiny puffs, then adding 2-3 more drops. So now I'm at about 9 drops to 3-4 pulls? But at this point I've got leaking out the bottom.

I think I need a mentor. Anyone in the LA area want a coffee date? :)

What really helps is having a SLR coil. I am vaping at 0.7 ohms, and because I don't need a "primer puff" to let the coil heat up, I'm actually SAVING juice, contrary to what you may think. I used to vape about 2ml a day (T3's and CE4's), and now that I'm dripping, I'm vaping FAR less. More "useable" vape, and it hits MUCH harder.

an AGA-S is your AGA-t shrunken down. (I think the "S" stands for "shrink") :blink: http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/fxvzw.sfuzw/v/vspfiles/photos/AGASRBA-2.jpg

AGA-S top cap kinda pops off in my pocket. I prefer my IGO-L in my pocket. Dripping isn't that much of a pain unless you are chain vaping like crazy. I usually put in like 10 drops and I'm good for about 20 pulls.

Yeah, when you drip 20 drops and take 3-5 hits only!!! I think most people just top theirs off with 4-7 drops, vape it, then pocket it... At least that is what I do and have had no leaking... Didn't you bore out the air hole on yours? I think that would make it more prone to leaking in itself. The air hole is right at the top inside ridge of what they call a drip well....
