Um, the Aqua V2 on group buy, is it a good one? And does it come with the adjusting hybrid pin thingamajiggy? (I read somewhere that some don't, that's why I'm asking)

So jealous of all the new Poldiacs - I've been wanting the Sleek for a really long time!

How about the 26650 Stingray X that's going on sale in a few days for $14? That one looks like a great deal, might even be an SXK. Maybe Ms. Nikki knows.

where did you see that on the site?

About 10 days ago or so a bunch of people here were suggesting Lenola Cream from Kite in Cloud. My 60ml bottle finally came in today and FOOB it's pretty amazing. I can't wait to see how good it might get after it ages for a couple of weeks. It reminds me of some of the banana flavors from Carpe Diem Vapor. Similar smooth creamy mouth feel. I may have to bust out my well steeped CDV Bananas in Pajamas after I finish this tank of Lenola Cream and let the rest age for a week. I'm glad I sprang for a 60ml bottle. Whoever suggested it has my thanks.

Sweet! That was Crocky who basically got us all to try the Lenola Cream .. At least 4 of us ordered it and maybe some lurkers too I received my 30ml bottle today with a handwritten note on the packing slip signed Bobby and Ann

I can only say that it smells great, haven't vaped it yet.

So thinking of diving into a 26650 mod. Any suggestions? I see the kingpin will be on sale next week at FC, might give it a go.
the only 26650 mods I have had were the big nasty and the hades. Was not too impressed with either. In all fairness I got the first run of the big nasty so I think it had been upgraded several times after the original. But the hades just did not do it for me. Too much voltage drop.

The only 26650 mech I have any interest in is the Black Oak clone, which FC almost got several times but the manufacturer is very douchey I still kinda want it though, its supposedly very high quality and well made.

I remember when you got the Big Nasty and I was so jealous too! I never cared for the Hades though ...

 

[Nikkita6]

Still no takers on the group buy Aqua v2? Is it the price or quality that's the prob. I wonder. Who makes it?

What do you mean by no takers? The Group Buy for that has been selling since it went up .. I think its a decent version too.

How many fews days? I am going to unload that one myself since I haven't used it since it was reviewed. Its beautiful in person, and a BEASTLY 350grams, so heavy. But it needs a magnetic spacer to fire, because the tube is too long and that annoyed me. Beyond that it was good, only .10 voltage drop. And its not SXK made, they don't make a X in 26650 .. the name of the manufacturer is in my review, I can't remember the name off the top of my head.

Save up your pennies to get one honey. I like the Sleek, but I am very partial to the Classics, I think they are nicer looking. Aesthetically its the best work MMV has done IMO.

I told myself I was all done with gennies, but does anybody know what this is?

 

[hobbes4]

Oh cool, you already got what I just got .. mostly. Got the SS V3/serialized 18500, and Lux V3 18350 tube and another V3 switch. What I initially wanted was the Lux V3 serialized, with extra SS V3 tube, but the SS V3 tubes alone were sold out ... so I did a swap and reverse. Came out a little cheaper this way by about $35 bucks.

The Aqua V2 is going Hybrid on the Lux 350, and my Five Pawns KFL is going on the SS V3 with some after market accessories. I just received the OverOne from MMV, so that will go on the Poldiac.

I was gonna do SnP SS Edition, but I don't like the caps on that, and prefer the look of the caps of the 23mm SnP but that diameter is all wrong for what I was trying to accomplish ... And this all started with a Taifun GT V1 with two Hysterics quartz Nano kits that I lost out on in the classies I needed some sort of redemption, and actually glad it turned out this way.

They discontinued the SnP, it was on clearance a few weeks ago. I believe they are coming out with something new.

Just going by what I'm seeing. This was taken less than 5 min. ago:



ETA Click on "Buy" and I see Stocks:350, nice even number. Maybe it's not updating, I'd have thought some would have sold regardless if it was a good deal or not.

Happy Valentines day everyone!

I celebrate my Amazon parrot's hatch day today . He is wild caught and was imported in 1983 so I don't know his real age. He's at least 32. He wants to be my little green man, and acts like one, too, criticizing my appearance at times So he's my valentine

Happy Hatch Day, Pete!

No I don't, but I am intrigued though .. nice!

Oh, can't wait to see what they come up with. I love a "classic look" but the quartz version of the 22mm SnP was a little dated, and not special for me. I liked the full SS Tank though, was just wishing for a snazzier looking cap set. I will keep my eye out for what they turn out, then I will wait until next year to get it, lol.

There are a lot of benefits to buying late .. Not only do you get to see how everyone has responded, and reviewed it, if there are updates or revisions along the way, you will end up with the best version in the end. Case in point, the Poldiac MiriamWTH Classic .. if I had purchased this a year ago I would have paid more, had only one battery configuration option, and would have had to purchase the upgraded Ketron insulators for sub ohm, and Rhodium over silver plated contacts separately after market. I got the best possible version of the Poldiac, for the best possible price.

There are US resellers still asking $235 and more for a single 18350 configuration .. The Poldiac holds up against, and still out shines most of the current high end mechanicals on the market right now. The Poldiac aesthetic is second to none, I can't think of a single high end mechanical that has exceeded it.

While for my tastes I would place the GP Paps v2.5-3 after the Poldiac, what I also love about most of Paps stuff is the classic aesthetic that will never go out of style, and the stellar switches. If the Lux clone had a great switch, I can only imagine what the authentic will be like .. and I will find out in about another 3 days because my order shipped 3 hours after it was placed. Two years from now I expect that the Poldiac and Paps will still be amongst the best IMO.

I also am still a big big fan of the Caravela, but I will most likely never have this one because I will not pay that kind of money for it ... ever.

That has to be a system error ... Bunny sent me an excited FB message with different numbers. She had asked my opinion if I thought it was a worthwhile GB and I told her yes, so that is why she updated me about how it was going. I don't have that version but I thought it looked good based on the photos.

Happy Valentines day everyone!

Well well, look who the cat drug in! Long time no see Sir, I haven't seen you since Faith and Hope abandoned me ... Do people really still celebrate Valentine's day? I swear I had no clue that today was Valentines until I saw this post

Happy Hearts Day, I love you all
