Platinum plated Limitless looks nice. But seeing as you already have a Limitless, I would go the way of the MCV Overdose v2. reuleaux vs Whiteout? I would go with the phantom Whiteout. The CMT crew is highly accessible and handled my dropping out of the first run with grace. In its place, I went with a Boxer 133W soldered, assembled and tested in the US of A and am leaning heavily towards the Litt Up Customs The 44 with its high capacity MaxAmps pack for my next TC device. It is quite frankly the largest and most powerful dna 200 box to date. The second run supposedly resolves all of the issues discovered in the first.

I've been leaning towards the Whiteout for a while, since summer really. But everything kept getting pushed back and back, so I've been waiting. On the whiteout I like how I can switch between LiPo packs and the dual 18650 battery sled. And completely change the mod by buying their SX350J kit (I'd wait for the SX350J v2 kit to be released though). My only concern is that I've seen people RECEIVE their Reuleaux's while I haven't even seen a whiteout in a YouTube review. So I'll keep waiting, hopefully they don't ban vaping by then. Mod makers can always brand their products as high power flashlights if vaping gets banned...all this FDA nonsense is really irking me.

Ok... So I did something a little different with my build.
Now the coils are raised and directly in the middle of the two airholes and I can taste my juice more.
(First build was not really in the middle of the airholes, only one of the airholes was touching the coil)

Weird, didnt think it would make a difference haha.

Size doesn't matter to me. My high wattage reg'd mod is a sigelei 100w, thing is just a straight up box haha. So between the two, which would you pick if you had to?
@Dan011z I paint my coils, pulse them, then fill up the deck to the airholes...it holds so much and just doesn't leak. I love it.

The Sig 100w was my go to box for a long while, and I still have and use the 150w. Just not out and about.

If it's a choice between the Reulaex and the Cloudmaker, the Cloudmaker is still just a concept but one with a lot of potential. If you can wait for the product to be developed then I would wait.

That's exactly how I position my coils, raised and directly over both airflow chambers.

And definitely agree it's the best way to get optimum flavour. I took delivery of my third Kennedy RDA today am still deciding what build to go with.

I never realised that you can change the battery sled to 18650s when using the DNA chip. When it was first proposed I had my eye on the yihi chipped device. As I didn't want to invest in yet another battery charger for LiPos considering how many 18650s I own.

I'm pretty sure it accepts zip charging as well with the front USB and a 2.1A charging brick. It's a modular box, which I love. Essentially you're paying for the frame and panels, then the chip kit (and what comes with it). Truly great to be able to swap everything out for something else if wanted.

not just a concept. In production, expected out Dec 4, according to the factory.

definately worth waiting for, this outdoes the Reauleux on so many levels.

Hey you do you guys know if the copper K24/22 is safe in terms of effect on the lungs?
Does copper by trace amount get into lungs and stuff? or tarnish particles get into lungs etc?
I really love how copper one looks but just want to play safe.
Pretty sure the authentics are safe & ceracoated

Just placed my order for the 22 last night, have not gotten my e mail to say when it will be shipped out. Question for anyone who has ordered from Kennedy which is how are they on getting things out the door?

They will send a email within 72 hours and tell you that the order is fulfilled and shipped.
It will also show you a tracking number that you can track through USPS.
They package in a small box with styrofoam inside to keep the atty safe.
:)

Likely safe enough so long as you steer clear of acidic e-juices. I requested (and received) a K24 with a stainless steel positive post (vs tellurium copper). But that is just me.

Authentic copper K24s are finished raw and are not coated with anything other than the possibility of machine oil.

Not even on the inside? I don't think Steve Kennedy would make a product that's unsafe to vape on. He definitely uses all high quality metals. I made the mistake of getting a mutation X v4 in copper, and all my wicks turn green, even with cleaning. -______- it sucks.

No. It is raw copper through and through.

I agree. But regardless of the grade of copper used, it will always be copper, tarnish like copper and patina like copper if left unmaintained. The copper K24 can be seen as purpose-built for minimal voltage drop. It is a true competition RDA, one in which I would not hestitate to wield on a cloud comp stage.

Ummmm my centerpost insulator just gave out on me on a .17Ω build. What do I do?
Contact Kennedy Enterprises ;) .
