    I have to ask, what is an SVD? We use SVD at work, but for me it means Spontaneous Vaginal Delivery.
    Innokin svd is a stainless steel APV works like the Vamo vv and vw but I find it better built than my Vamo . I read that svd stands for superior vaping device , don't know if that's what Innokin meant but it's got better machining than the Vamo for the same price.

    A, did you get your carto tanks yet?
    Well... No.

    After my hasty toss everything out moment yesterday, I saved 2 of my old ones and just ordered new cartos and hope that buys me some research time. After the brief research I did (very brief), I am contemplating the skinny phinny.

    I won't buy the same ones again, the paint was slowly getting shaved off when I replaced the carto and I had little silver specks floating in there. Grossed me out.

    It'll take me a good month to actually spend $35. You'd think I was making a major purchase!

    I guess it is a major purchase considering how much time you spend with it. :)

    I'll have to look up Skinny Phinny. Will it take all the cartos you have?

    I just got a phiniac a few months back and it's a fantastic carto tank. I can tell you tho that a skinny one won't have much capacity. I think the reg one I have only holds at the most 2ml. But the tank in terms of quality is great. It really holds a carto well.

    Yeah, it says the XL only holds 2ml, Bronze is right. I only vape 1-2 a day.

    Then it will be perfect for you. I don't vape I ton but also keep in mind that pre punched cartos holes are a bit higher and I noticed I gotta fill when it gets to about a 1/4. May have to punch a hole a bit lower for the bottom bit of juice. Or punch your own cartos. Regardless I love mine. And MP has a few still I believe.

    We enjoy your company retic.

    I never used ribbon. Regular Kanthal has always worked for me so I don't monkey with ribbon. Others here have so I suspect you'll get some feedback. In addition to Lion, I think it was either Chak or MP who also has experience with the RSST.

    EDIT: Ooops, that answers my question. MP is the other one with the RSSTs.

    Doesn't Leo have an RSST? I don't - just a couple AGA-T2s, a couple Richmans and the KFL.

    LOL!! That is so you!

    I like the one with the dragon on it. For your Dragon's Fire??? That has to be more than $4.75. Wasn't IA big on Phiniac. Maybe that was MP.

    And I bought the one with the dragon on it for dragons fire. Phiniac tanks are fantastic carto tanks. I'd say the tightest fitting so no slide.
    Ibtanked are next as are valley view vapes but I imagine April would be using slim PVs so ibtanked or phiniac for pyrex.
    Valley vapes for easy to use polypropylene tanks that won't crack for nothing.
    If you need help sunny April PM me or FB me. I still have a few remaining for some odd reason hoping my girl uses em.

    Yep... but plain jane Kanthal is running the show. Still trying to find that ideal build though. Right now it's the traditional SS mesh with a .8 ohm coil, but I am thinking of going with a cotton wrapped microcoil and trying out the dripper build again. I've found that I have to run things pretty hot to get things going well with mesh, but that is messing with the flavor profile of the juice in there now (Legend). Dragon's Fire does well at high temps, Legend likes it lower.

    I've just been too lazy to pull the mesh and go with the micro. :) But I am pretty sure I'll go that route soon... the micro in my IGO-l vapes so well right now.

    OK.... going to call it a night. Finally found an english subtitled version of Space Battleship Yamato.... and the Sox just dispatched the Rays.... that's enough win for one evening. :)

    oh those plain valley vapes pyrex tanks are nice, and pretty cheap!

    Yeah, I was pretty close to picking up a bunch of those tanks... then I started messing with RDAs... I really like the fact that the only gear I need for them is wire and cotton and the taste is so clean. I have a Smok Pyrex tank that has been sitting in a drawer for quite some time now. I don't have a need to bust it back out again.
