I've never owned or used a bottom feeder, so no - I don't have the chalice 3. Honestly I can't afford the chalice, plus a mod to go with it, plus the gem. I've got to pace myself right now as money has been tight lately :(

I'd love to try a bottom feed squonk, but I can't play at that level with something I'm completely unfamiliar with.

Hopefully things will pick up for me and I can buy all the toys... But right now I have to pick and choose.

On my radar right now is the Gem, a couple DNA40 chips, and that's about it. I had the chance to pick up the squape Reloaded in the classifieds for $100 which was a deal, and the seller was an online buddy of mine, but that would have cut into my gem fund, so I had pass on it... Disappointed about that but...
I hear ya man. That Squonker flask was all I thought about tonight on my drive home from work tonight. Oh and I missed my damn exit that's how caught up in thought I was. Plus the need to invest in an all new set of atty's. So I got home and was staring at my bank account wondering how I could make this work. And while I was staring I decided that I probably needed to eat the rest of the month and next. I guess a man can not live on vaping alone...damn it.

It would be a brand new investment in stuff that I just invested a lot of money in. So I sort of come to my senses but man, I was that close.

I wish they would stop making new cool stuff for a bit. So I would stop wanting the new and cool stuff for a bit. It's just like those damn phones, as soon as you get the latest and greatest, they release a new latest and greatest. It's my vicious circle. It was exciting almost buying it though ;)

After I get my Calix on Monday, this man is putting on the breaks.

Give it time, some genius will find a way to get our daily nutritional requirements in vape form. Then we will be able to get all the gear we want

When I played with drippers, it was insane. I'd order 1 and before it arrived there was another "latest" one to buy.... I've got half a dozen or so, I'm done (with drippers) for now.

If I dive in to squonking, I'd have to start with something reasonable.... I like the flavor of dripping but not the hassle, so bottom feeders are the cure for that, but $150 for a chalice, plus a decent amount for the mod... I just can't do it. I could build one, but I'm like a cartoon with all these pieces and parts to "projects" I bought to build XYZ and never did. I did 1 custom dna box mod, but now it's almost silly to build anything... Prices are so low and quality is so high, the only reason to do it is for the hobbyist aspect.

I'm just crossing my fingers that when the gem drops, I'll be able to pick one up. My wae2 is one of my unicorn mods. I wanted a mark bugs wizard as soon as I saw them. I'd still love to get a titanium dna40 wizard when he releases that... (you know, I think I have a problem?)

No Sir, if you DIDN'T want a titanium DNA40 Wizard, you'd have a problem
Right!?
I love my steel wizard, but sooner or later I'll get a titanium one and hopefully it'll be a DNA40.

Admittedly I've been enjoying my flask lately. A little heavy, but 2+ days of vaping between charges... <Darth Vader voice> IMPRESSIVE </voice>

Yeah but Rikk, his stuff is the absolute finest quality you can possibly imagine. I know people say that all the time, but as someone who buys clones and authentic I can tell you marks stuff is the finest quality items in my arsenal.

If he released the titanium mod today, I'd cry like a baby because I can't drop the money right now, but it is soooooooo worth it.

That's why I need to stay away from his site. I'm really trying to put on the breaks. Maybe not a full stop, but pretty close.

If I would of known how great his mods were, I wouldn't have bought my 3rd Provari. I would absolutely love that Wizards Apprentice. Plus having a DNA 30 board on it...nice. Oh, it's making my head tingle.

I love MOST my Provari. I did buy a Titanium 2.5 a couple weeks ago I'm not thrilled with. I think because my first and 2nd Provari are P3s. And it just didn't live up to my expectations. My fault tho. I think I'm going to put it up for a nice discount, find someone who might really enjoy it. Then I might really consider getting that awesome Apprentice. I could justify it if I had a little to go towards it from my 2.5Ti.

Have you talked to Anavidfan? She mentioned being willing to trade hey WAE2 for a Provari, can't remember what Provari it was she mentioned though.

I'm NOT a provari fan. I went semovar (back then, and still have it).

One of the great things about the wizard(s) is weight. The steel wae2 is feather light, and the titanium is lighter...I met Phil busardo at a vape meet and he was showing off his titanium wizard. It's insanely light, but oddly enough the finish is very delicate. My wae2 has some minor scratches from daily use, his (PBUSARDO) was beat up... I try to pamper my gear.

My Futura is cerakoted, which is a gun finish (as in paint for guns) and it looks as new as the day I bought it. I think cerakote should be standard for vape mods! So durable!

I would imagine it was a P3 she's after, but it wouldn't hurt to check tho. The Ti2.5 is nice, just not what I was expecting after my P3s

I remember now, she mentioned the new Classic 2015 or whatever it's called. I'd still shoot her a PM though, ya never know.
I bought my Ti2.5 a week before the classic was released. The classic looks like a great device, it has many of the same features as the P3, it's just a little stripped down version and only 15 watts. And $50 less than I paid for my my Ti. But I'm sure most of my cost is because it is titanium.

But I think I got ruined because I had a 3 before I bought the 2.5. But I'm sure I'll find someone who will appreciate it. I'm thinking I'll just cut the cost in half of what I paid to see if I can off it quick. Or somebody else might have something I want for trade. God knows I sort of want everything [emoji14]

I just got my Calix today though. Last atty I'm going to get for a long while. Except maybe this one ;)

Oh wow, that's a great deal! Now even if I don't need it I want to grab that off you ;)
