have you gotten in any of the "Kanger" tanks from them? we're "upgrading" to Mega's and V2's and they've got the "V2" on promotional for fifteen bucks and Mega not much more than that, it's obviously NOT a Kanger...but I'm not a label ho, I am a quality one though.

any quality issues??

how long did it take to receive?

I just dripped the last of my MBV's Guava :cry: .. in other news, I wonder how Drifter got on with his new Mephisto rda? I just rebuilt mine tonight at a perfect 1.0 ohm, and I am enjoying a nice vape on this battery draining DNA30 :p

Aw, Nikki was thinking of me smack dab in the middle of the night :D

I did have a chance to play around with it some, firstly went to remove the black airflow ring and it shredded the o-ring. Not a problem I said, they included a couple in the package. Turns out that those o-rings are for the base and too thick for the topcap. Again, no problem I have plenty of other o-rings from other attys, so I did manage to find one that did not shread and worked out quite well for the black sleeve. So I thought I would try the copper sleeve, pulled the black sleeve off ok and shredded the o-ring putting on the copper sleeve. Yet another o-ring from my collection and I did find one that worked well with the copper sleeve. Decided to change again and try the brass sleeve and it was too tight to fit over the o-ring, tried the black and it was too loose. Ugh :( It seems that all three sleeves are a different diameter so I will have to dedicate a o-ring per sleeve that works only with that sleeve.

So I stuck with the black sleeve on it and built it for the provari I pictured yesterday. Went for a simple single 1.6 ohm coil that I'm running at 15 watts. Will keep it on there for a bit, I like the color combo for now :)

Things I did like we're the deep deck, those massive post and screws, the big wire holes and the massive drip tip hole. The airflow slots on the sleeves are quite low in relation to the deck (almost on top of it) so building a coil that sits just above the air slit will wind up being just a bit above the deck. So even with the deep deck there's not much room for wicking because I have to build the coil so low to keep it within good airflow distance from the air slots.

So nitpicking aside, once it's together it does produce a very nice vape! I'm running the single air slit wide open with a wide bore drip tip and the resulting airflow produces a decent amount of vapor for running only at 1.6 ohms. Flavor is pretty good to so I'm pleased with the quality of vape from my initial build. If it performs this well on a single coil I can imagine what's its gonna be like when I slap some sub-ohm duals on it, so I will try that build on a later date.

Overall I'm pleased with it Nikki, thanks for adding it to my collection :)

"Yikes, if she could've just had an apple martini before that last paragraph..."
Gotta hand it to you, sis. I am not thick-skinned enough to do what you do.

And yeah, it sucks running out of guava. One of my faves. :thumb:

It takes a lot more than a tard with an inferiority complex to hurt my feelings, pfft! ;-)

It totally sucks running out of Guava that juice is so yummy delicious! Don't know if I want to order some more from MBV or use oneonone flavorings to make more? I was near tears last night/this morning when I dripped my last drops :cry:

I have heard that they work, and are the same quality .. but that is what I heard, I do not have one myself. :)

Yes I was thinking of you honey. :) .... Yikes! Sorry to hear about your o ring issues, I haven't had that at all. Like I mentioned in my review, the black ring is a bit loose, the others are perfect, so I have not destroyed, or had to change out o rings on it. But I have just recently read some feedback on another forum, and this guy had issues with his negative post being crooked and coming loose in spite of the spot welding on the base .. So clearly QC issues do exist. I feel lucky ... don't use the black ring much, the copper ring will prolly see the most use thanks to my Stingray X and Copper Manhattan.

Glad that I have the brass one though, and it does fit well without issue. Just ordered some replacement magnets from FT for my Infinite brass Stingray, so the brass ring will eventually get some use between my Paps and Stingray brass. The Mephisto has changed my feeling on dripping, specifically due to the large drip hole .. no more hassle, and still using it primarily at the moment. :)

They come with an extra switch pin (threaded) and 2 510 connector extra pins.

Hey .. I didn't get an extra switch pin :( Just two extra 510 pins and one installed ... I feel cheated! :p I wonder if that was a mistake because as per Acerig only two extra fire pins were supposed to come with it. Sounds like you lucked my boy :)

Dang! By my usual luck I should have gotten only half a pin...BUT I GOT 3!!!!
Must be the good influences around this thread...
