That's tempting. Then I think about blowing the budget to get a ZNA 30 clone by Robbot. I just know I'd like the feel of the ZNA, but I could get the IVP and have plenty left over for more batteries, etc. Wish the local B&M had a Mini to see what it handled like... :unsure:

They both feel good in the hand, although the Robbot's body is slimmer, shorter but considerably heavier. I love the Robbot ZNA, even when I go away from it to use other devices, whenever I come back to it I'm "yeah, nice". If you need something pocket friendly though the ipv is the better choice. Also if you want step down voltage output then the ipv is the better choice .. the ZNA is sexier, but I like the look and feel of the IPV too so ...

On the Fifth Day of Christmas My True Love Did Not come to Me..............

5 Hot Copper Modsssszzzzzzzzzzzzz !!!

4 Four and more Russian 3.1's

3 Three Orchids blooming

2 Two Maraxus mods not modding

And my one and only Taifun GGGGGG TTTTTTTTTTTTT !!!!!

Hey Nikitta, why dont you go tell Cranky to get off her duff and come do the 6th Day of Christmas. No?

BTW, enjoyed ur review on the Aqua and Orchid. The Orchid is a real solid device, with the kiss being it has a ridiculously inexpensive price. FYI, FT has a longer gooseneck chimney it sells seperately for the Orchid, so people can convert there V3 to V4 for larger juice capacity, which I consider a must. Unlike others who complained, I havent had any problems with my Orchid leaking. The big drawback to these four channel devices is for those who dont want to subohm (me), unless you use really thin wire your kinda stuck. But the Orchid makes this possible with its large deck space, but it still is a challenge. For those having wicking issues on the Orchid, dont place your cotton wick in the channels, put it on the ledge and use the channels for juice only. <<< Just like the Kayfun. BTW, there is a huge difference in the new Aqua V2 and the Orchid. In version 2 Aqua you have to put the wick down into the juice channels or its no go, or so the reviewer said. One reviewer even recommended putting extra wicking around the perimeter of the base. The Aqua has perhaps the finest machined and fitting parts of any RBA around. I look at the Aqua as being a dripper that you dont have to actually drip with.

The whole thing is stuck, the two part cap too .. I will try to remove just the top cap for a third time later. But really I have never had just a hard time taking a RBA apart in my life! Frustrating :(

Just to be sure, that you tried it the right way.

Screw of the drip tip, try to turn the upper top cap part CCW and this should wind the lower top cap up.

I can`t believe that the o-rings block the whole thing, But when the chimney hasen`t been screwed on right, then it can be a nightmare.

Hi yourself .. and glad you liked my review. Cranky has long since disappeared so ... that's that. My verdict is still out on the Aqua V2 because I haven't used it yet. I only know that I love the way it looks and it appears to be very good quality.

Ok thanks for that, because no, I didn't remove the drip tip first :unsure: Will try again, thank you darling :)

I forgot that part, too. Also sometimes you have to go man on it to twist it off :D. I grab a washcloth to help cushion my poor little fingers as I turn if its being really stubborn.

It took me awhile to figure out how it came apart when the first one showed up.

Just got the DNA30 from them so I don't need another device, but buck/boost sounds yummy. Think I'll wait on your review before I let your Temptress powers reach my wallet. Again. :)

Dang, so now you have Nathan helping you out with your Temptress duties?

The mini may have to wait so I can get that Christmas tree mod that just dropped at both places. :facepalm:

Man this holiday season is going to hurt my budget. SXK RDA looks great, just ordered an Atlantis and will probably get the Subtank too. Want the IPV mini, Variant and Zero just because.

Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

You like that SXK RDA?? I am sure its machined well because they do good work, but that logo though :blink: :cry:

IPV, Variant, and Zero are all good mods to want just cuz .. Also, I said there were little scratches on my display screen of the IPV but I was wrong. It was a protective film :blush:

And two people asked me if I was sure that it wasn't the film that had scratches on it too, and I was "nope, its scratched" :laugh: :facepalm: In my defense the film was very thin and therefore hard to detect. :glare:

    Doris has informed me I can not use both of my prize draws coupons on 1 transaction, which sucks as was going to use both to get a IPV mini :(

    Think for now, I will order the Aqua V2 from the china site, probably be after Xmas by the time I get it, but after coupon, will only cost me about $15, then after Xmas, I will use the other coupon to get the mini :)
