Good morning alI!

Found my random item of the day. Every site other than GB lists the hcigar vt75 as coming with the 26650/18650 adapter sleeve. For whatever reason GB doesn't show it, and when I asked CS they also said no. I hope they're wrong, but just in case, FT sells adapter sleeves for under $1. I ordered a couple this morning.

The 26650 would likely last me a full work day, and since I only vape in the 30w zone the yellow awt 75/4500 ought to be okay, but getting 4 hg2 for just a little more than 2 awt is a win.

DC - you running any dna 75? I'm enjoying the sdna 75w a lot :)

    I got one of those, and as much as I want to love it, I don't. I love the way it vapes, SS TC is very good, but there is just something about the design that makes me not like holding it for very long at a time. Which normally something this size will practically live in my hand at home or when driving. Can't quite put my finger on what I think is wrong with it though. I may have to look at othe DNA75 models to find one that I like better for constant use.

    howdy, brother!

    I am - have the sdna 75 and a custom box (ordered the parts, had a buddy put it together - can use 26650 or 18650) - and overall, love em - i rarely vape over 75 watts - with the 26650, it seems to start reading 'weak battery' pretty early, but that was supposedly addressed in recent update to the firmware, though i need to test it

    i recently got my mitts on a Therion from Lost Vape - have not had a chance to put it through its paces yet, but it's a very solid little dual battery dna 75 - and well built, it appears - will keep you posted

    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Morninz!



    Welcome back, DC. Missed ya, Sweetheart.... We'z been tryin' to hold teh fort down. :)

    Rain klowdz movin' in today. As long as BDD doesn't freak out too much, it will be a good thing.

    I have THWARTED the BDD (I think). Cat's room is basically supposed to be off-limits (litter boxes and food - no bueno fer teh BDD) The door on that room has one of its panels cut out so it's big enough for the cat, but not nearly big enough for the dog. However, the door doesn't latch quite right (house is a little off-kilter - kinda like its owner) BDD has been nosing the door open and scarfing the cat fud (and other sundries {blergh})

    Monday, I snagged a hook latch and installed. Yesterday morning, dog tippy-tapped through the kitchen to get to HER food and water. I watched/heard her push on the door. BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA :evil: :evil: :evil:

    ACCESS DENIED!!!!!!

    (Why teh hellz didn't I think of that before :facepalm: )

    LMAO, I love dogs and their quirks. What type of dog do you have?

    I figured since I wasn't hitting on the HG contest, the ecig sale on SDNA shouldn't be passed up. It was funny to win the vt75 a week after ordering the backup SDNA :)

    I still need to play more with TC. I have loads of 316L, but keep going back to the twisted 26 kanthal due to use on my mechs. 26 gauge, whether kanthal or 316L, gets me coils in my target 0.4 - 0.5 ohm zone.

    Also I have had to pull double duty on shenanigans because you have been gone @dcfluegel.
    And a fine job you have been doing. I haven't been pulling my weight lately on that front. Glad you picked up the slack, and created the mini-skirt/boots incident!

    I was talking about the SDNA75
    The only thing I've found on the SDNA is that I need to lock the +/- buttons whenever I set things to the right power. Otherwise I'll tend to accidentally change things on the fly -- got a really warm vape on the Aromamizer V2, saw I had kicked it up to 75W instead of 29 :)

    That's really odd that it doesn't come with the sleeve. I got one back during the Independence Day sales, and if I remember correctly, the sleeve was inside the mod.

    Don't know what it is either. Shape and size seem like it should be comfortable to hold, but for some reason it just isn't.

    I bet it really does, that they simply left it off the listing and their CS person didn't really check :) Anywho, a couple bucks total is cheap insurance. I have a small drawer of adapter widgets, a couple of large format battery sleeves is one thing I was missing.

    Ecig is now running the hcigar VT75 at $50. I had fast turnaround from them on my two SDNA orders, and with the 10% coupon code it should end up back right at $50 after adding shipping.
