I almost went with the Origen V4. Almost, but the eleaf Lemo beat it out.
Crossing my fingers for the Lemo.
I had read too many negative things about the Origen V4 leaking.
It is hard to call when all you have is what others say about something to go by.

The Lemo is a great atty.

Could someone possibly explain to me the "lifecycle" of a newly cloned mod? Like how do I follow the newly cloned mod (say, from Infinite here) as it makes its way to sites like Focalecig or Fasttech? Is there even a guarantee that either of those sites would pick it up? Do I have to organize a group buy myself? I just want a rough understanding of how these quality clone mods get out into the market so I can keep my eye on sites like Ali Baba for the neat new stuff from quality cloners.

I just google it once in awhile and see where it shows up. Vape Royalty might pick up that one.

This is the third time i've had to deal with Eleven and i didn't have any problems just like my first two times. I sent her a picture of the cracked plastic tank section and a short video showing that the chimney would not fit through the top cap. She responded right away and said she will send me out a new one. She also confirmed that they did not change manufactures so i'm guessing Pallas changed the packing to save money.

Maybe Eleven has a crush on you :laugh: just kidding :p

Ok, my Zero just did something weird. I changed the battery. For a moment it read the resistance correctly at 1.2ohm, then went back to 1.0ohm. I checked it again to make sure it really was 1.2 ohm and working correctly and it is. What do you think of that?

I don't know? :confused: but weird for sure ..

FINALLY got my Stingray X. Verdict? 99.9% happy. The button is a wee bit scratchy however the throw is awesome and it fires every single press, I've already sanded them a little but will allow some break in time. I haven't used the hybrid mount yet but can see myself using it with drippers for a bit better look - the drip tip itself is awesome, threading is smooth and the smaller size vs my Nemesis makes it a glorious dream.

Pardon me, time for some chain vaping. I may need to get more juice tomorrow, and I think I'm going to drop my dripper resistance a bit to play with this baby at work tomorrow.

That is good to hear .. the switch will need to be cleaned periodically (copper parts) to keep is smooth.

Pioneer4U shipped my mini on Saturday so I should have it in a few days ..

Can't wait to hear what you think of it. This one interests me. I had drawn the line at three regulated box mods but now that my fourth and fifth ones are enroute, may as well consider a sixth. I had also drawn the line at three mech mods but three more of those should be showing up within the next couple of weeks. I'm not even sure how many RDAs are on their way to my house from China right now. :facepalm:

I'll be eligible for a playa card before long.

Yes,that is why I want it. I am not going to place it on a regular mechanical.
I plan on placing it on my Kato Square Box Mod. I have been looking for an RTA that would fill that gap.

I hope so too. I know P4U intended it to be an iStick killer, so we will see. But unless the build quality is shoddy I don't see how it couldn't be better than an iStick. I know a lot people love that thing, but I am just not into the PWM or the 21mm or the built in battery. Of all things the chip is what I am least concerned about, Yihi did confirm it before they made to my shish list :glare:

I just hoped they shipped me the Gold like I asked. Initially planned for Silver but I asked them last week to change it and they said they would "try" :unsure:

I've already accumulated 6 mechs and 7 regulated :ohmy: That doesn't count the MVP, which I just sold.

Totally agree. It has to be much better than the istick. I like my ipv1 a lot.

I'm not sure why so many people love the istick. Its inaccurate, has a bad 510 and mine doesn't read battery level anymore.

Based on the specs, it's a damn sight bigger than the iStick. Slightly different dimensions but I think it's about the size of a Hana - taller, but not as wide. I'm not crazy about the square buttons but I love the battery access.

I think because it was new, cute and small :unsure: Lately I have been hearing so much about the bad threads on it, which is such a change from the early raves. But it is China ya know, maybe Eleaf couldn't keep up with the demand, and as per usual QC suffered.
