*GEM: A new RTA by MarkBugs

[h00ligan]

go for it...quick!!

I missed it.

I'm not gutted. Who knows if I'll own my gems in three months

They're really really good for flavor. I do love them. I just wish the quality stood up to what it was supposed to be. And it mark bugs took it seriously and made corrections.

Who knows. Maybe he will surprise everyone by shipping us a redesigned deck that works with temp control properly. (Unlikely?)

I'm considering a piccoloid setup. When are you revising that!?!

and...

 

[h00ligan]

Lol. Oops. !

Thanks Steve

now that I have another extra wizard coming, this one I will modify to a side-by-side to make it much shorter. sorry to have snatched the last one from your cart bro, I couldn't have known that but honestly I think if I didn't, someone else would have

Since we are in the GEM thread. I consider the gem my holy grail for flavor. Some people have said "it's alright but nothing special" I disagree. I think the gem flavor is better than anything else I've tried.

What I need is a very small mod to put it on. That's what would make me happy. Something that suits it well

I though about doing it on a LPG but t would have sizing discrepancies.

So I need a tiny mod. Which matches well the gem which means polished or titanium color. So what would you all suggest

Yah. I should have just bought it I guess. Oh well no wasn't supposed to have it.
I have mods coming out my ears. I need small a really small one.

Something that runs on 18350 an doesn't require a locking ring when it goes in my pocket

Basically a LPG without the recessed part

Dupe

Anyone tried the chalice v3? Is it just a genny type atomizer?

Well, I'm very sad I missed the $99 WAE2. I've got an issue with mine that Mark and I have not been able to resolve (the 510 pin is messed up). He and I already agreed on me sending mine back to him to be repaired but I decided to wait until AFTER the holiday shipping rush, I would hate for it to be lost on its way back to Romania.

It's a RDA. And like @TheotherSteveS said, "a Squonking one" at that.

 

[turbocad6]

The chalice 3 is my single most favorite atty of all time. I have like 7 chalices of the 2 & 3 variety... only other atty that I ever decided to get more than one of is the nuppin, but I only have 5 of those. Even the gem, I originally thought I'd want several, but after getting my one I decided against getting more... now if/when the gem comes in a Ti version, that I'll def have to get, but otherwise I think I'm ok with only the one gem for now, but I could never be happy with only one chalice, there really that good

 

[spacetime]

I LOOVVVEEEE my chalice III. That's all.

 

[h00ligan]

Really?

Are there any issues with leaking when upside down in a pocket or lying on its side overnight?

How is the flavor compared to the gem. Why do you refer it to the gem besides aesthetics?

Does it handle temp builds better than the gem or is it the same floating center pin design ? The same base for the proprietary connector overlaid with 510 bits?

It's much less than the gem. And available. I wonder why it's less popular - or maybe he makes more of them ?

I didn't realize it was a squonking atomizer. I need to find the chalice thread. Can anyone link me ? I have some questions as I don't have a squonking setup yet but want one.


TRAVELING GEM
-----
Also I've been talking about small mods and for some reason I was honking regulated in my mind for the gem. Probably because I've been running mine with nickel or titanium.

So I decided to do a kanthal build. 5 wraps including the two leads spaced 2.5mm of 28 gauge for a .8 build. And then I paired it with the LPG. And then I decided it needed a tiny drip tip so I used the svoemesto puzzler in smallest form.

And this is the super tiny GEM traveller. Can't believe I didn't do this before.

Drip tip is going to be changed when I get my new marbled ones I think

Here she is sized against a p3. Istick. Evic mini. With various atomizers. So you can appreciate how small she truly is.

And in hand

Getting an authentic LPG is a pain in the backside. And sorry to say so but you can get a 1:1 clone for $7 if you just want to sample it. Before deciding if you'll go to the effort of the authentic track down and buy.

Anyway. Why not travel with the best flavor

Battery life will take me through at least half a tank by the way. It's fine for a movie trip. A short outing to shop. Maybe even a night out depending if you vape four times more when drinking or not.

The LPG can be purchased in dual 350 and 650 setup for the times you want more juice

I think it's the best button ice used so far on a mech mod. I haven't tried the touch or semi touch yet.

I have 6 of the Chalice III, and I have not tried all the BF attys out there, it is the best one I have tried. I need to get 4 more of them right now, but as pricey as they are it will take me 2 or 3 months to get them. I am also interested in the GEM but that will be a while as well.

You really can't directly conpare the gem to the chalice in that they are 2 very different things... the gem is a tank, it holds juice in the atty and attempts to auto feed this juice to the internal chamber, where the chalice is just a tiny chamber and that's it, you need to constantly feed it juice from an external source; IE drip it, or feed it from a bottom feed ideally....

The questions s about the flavor and vapor. For those I think you can compare. No? Which produces better flavor if both are built well.

 

[turbocad6]

Both are among the best of the best, flavor wise...

Ok. So it's at least as good as the gem...

What are you running it on?i would need to find a small squonking mod. Mechanical is fine I can just build to fit.

Thanks!
