I agree, that logo is not really at all, and the device will survive without it. I wouldn't have minded if they had made it smaller too. While I am happy with the vape on my first Squape clone, I usually found it to be a struggle to vape all 5mls of e-liquid, and would often dump about 1ml of it and load up fresh. The attractive for me here is the new AFC with the 3.1 air hole being the largest setting, so I am curious to see how it will vape.

:p When I said it was ugly as sin yesterday, I was being too straight forward :p

Nikki, do you have specs for the two Squape Rs handy? The Ivogo's 22mm and there seems to be another one floating around that's 22.5mm (Wotofo, maybe?). I'd also want all three decks (S, C, W). S is good if I ever wanna try mesh, W is good for macro coils, and I think C would be perfect with rayon, because of how it gently drapes the wick down into the channels (you'd just have to taper the heck out of the tails).

If Wotofo's the one that's 22.5mm, I'd be set with the Ivogo. I'm just hoping they'll still be around tomorrow, when I can afford one. :unsure:

Planning a WHITE Paps underneath - not the one at FT (21.5mm, janky switch, 18650 only). I might have to de-uglify a brass 18500 and paint it myself, or wait and see if FT actually grants my request (hah). No frowny face until you've seen it. :laugh:

the option of a 3.1mm air hole is nice! couldn't agree more :) I would really like the 3 decks the FC version offers... the one I pre-ordered from G-Vapers only comes with the standard and wide deck. but... I think this time around i'm going to show some restraint! hahaha. atleast until I see how the I have coming turns out ;)

    Had a disaster last night :unsure:

    The locking ring has been stuck on my Heimdall for a while now, so just been unscrewing the base when sitting down, so anyway had my Orchid on top of it since getting the Orchid.

    Had a few beers last night and I sat the Heimdall down and didn't unscrew the base, I guess it kept firing, as when to vape on it later on and the Orchid was empty and there was juice everywhere, luckily nothing went bang, and the battery still charged fine.

    But of course it burnt my wick out, and also melted the insulator some, today I recoiled and wicked the Orchid and seems to still be working ok, even with a bit of a melted insulator, but the Heimdall is not fairing as well, all the inside of top cap came apart, which I put back together, but it will not fire, going to look it again when got more time, but may of killed the Heimdall and the Orchid is running, but not 100% anymore.

    Guess mechs and drinking don't really mix well together :(

    Taste is subjective and not just when it come to juice, I really like the look of the squape reloaded, to many tanks with just silver tank and glass/plastic, the reloaded stands out and no confusing with another tank out there, I'm really glad I got one before they get pulled because of copyright etc.

    I have no idea what the specs on the Wotofo Squape R are .. it was only mentioned to me that they were in the process of cloning it, I never looked into it though. And to be totally honest with you, seeing how Wotofo did such a horrible job with the specs of the ZNA, not sure I would trust any published specs from them anyway. :unsure:

    White Paps? :blink: ...

    Oh Wow Nailz, I am glad that this incident didn't turn out worse for you. I have had my mechs fire on me while unattended twice, but luckily both times it wasn't for more than 5 or 10 minutes, but they were scorching hot when I found them. Sorry that your Heimdall died, so I guess this means that you will have to replace it with another Darth classic :laugh:

    Nelson showing restraint? :confused: Lies all Lies! :laugh: I will believe it when I see it, but somehow I expect you to comeback in a few days and tell me about how you broke down and got it ... again. :laugh: I know how you roll Nelson :p

    Nah no need to replace, already got the black stingray x coming ;)

    I was actually more concerned about the Orchid to be honest, as that is meant to be going with the hanaa when it gets here ;)

    Nailz, I think Kidney Puncher sells spare insulators for the KF (better than OG even). Maybe they'll work on the Orchid.

    I'm pretty sure FT now stocks just the bases for the Orchid, but I'll probably not bother, eyeing that V3, and if get that one, then the V1 would go in the dust draw.

    The insulator from a kayfun would not work, the Orchid one is round and goes down the base, but thanks for the suggestion though ;)

    hah never even looked down there...:blush:
    You would think that I'd notice things like that with the nerdy visor magnifier that I have to wear when I build. :laugh:

    If you want a good laugh take a close look at the detail images of that base on FT. (Hint: air hole)

    Sorry Cin .. can't share in the love on this one. I am of the mindset that white is a color that should never be used on a mod ... I broke scandalX's heart when I said that :laugh: Sowwy :blush:

    I've been tempted a few times to get the white Lancelot, think it looks cool in white, more than black if can believe that, but I vowed I will not buy anymore mechs for a while, bit burnt out on them and want to see what I think of this hanaa before spending anymore money, I could become a regulated user again if I REALLY like it.
