Yup , but BK will have to go back and finish his engineering degree to operate it .
Come on, it ain't that hard, once you get it cleaned and set up you don't have to mess with ¾ of the parts... Still easier than the Rose!
So... Cleaned and set up a VV Grand / RM2 with Japanese Cotton and a 6mg nic selection of Bavarian Crème.
Initial Impression - smooooth. Nearly no TH, which is gentle on my allergies, a good thing for me personally. I am gradually increasing Voltage, and I can tell this KohGenDo (or whatever) leaves little or no footprint on the flavor. Very clean flavor. Now I am squonking after almost every vape, just to make sure I keep the wicking moist. But I can already tell this is a very good wicking medium. Thanks, General.
Just one thing - Why am I peeling off the outer layer ?

I dunno , I look at the parts chart for the KF4 and I half expect to see Rube Goldberg's signature on the bottom .
Some do. Some don't. I do. Doesn't hurt. Try it both ways. Whatever works for you.
I'm set for a while. Picked up a small box of CelluCotton 100% cotton (40ft) for $4. Good thing cause I was down to my last 2 pieces about 4 inch worth. Also went to Menards picked up a digital caliper and a 20 piece diamond wheel points set for the Dremel. The caliper I wanted the wheel points was inpulse buy. Didn't need either one just wanted them.

So, after monthly cleaning of P2 and washing out KFL+ V2, I used some Japanese cotton and the super-secret "coffee stain on my counter" wicking method (Sorry, Bridget, just try to 'tweak' Dusty with that one) for some 7th Ave Blond.
Now if this head cold I've been wrestling with would just let up, I might actually taste it.....

Not yet. I'm not chain vaping on it, rotating flavors (devices) like I normally do when I'm at home. But holding up good so far.....
I've got the two Stingray's loaded , one with a Rose the other with the Aqua V2 , decided to build the other Rose to run on the SVD , put a 28ga 1.5 ohm coil in it . That's the highest resistance I've used in a Rose , not as intense as my usual subohm builds but still a saturated , tasty vape at 15 watts . I did have a duh moment when I went to fire it , it took a solid 3 seconds to come up to temp , didn't realise the SVD was set to 8 watts .
That is definitely a problem us low power vapers have. Hence my enthusiasm for boost.
I turned my 'Boost' off, but then I believe I am vaping heavier (higher VG) liquids than you are. I'll do a primer puff the save the wicks...
Speaking of wicks, I am currently trying KohGenDo in a P2/ KFL+, a VV Grand/ RM2 (with enlargened air hole) and a Woodvil/ RM2. No problems so far, and clean taste. If this keeps up I might have to start looking for some....

Boost has little effect when you hit 15 watts. But at 8 - 9 watts it has a profound effect. One I most enjoy!
So... VaporDNA has a Gold Smok Xpro M65 from SmokTech. VV/ VW/ Mech Mode box mod that uses a 18650 Battery, goes up to 65 Watts, has a spring loaded 510 connector, a 0.2 ohm cutoff, and has a built-in Mini USB port for charging. $65 + shipping.
Is this pretty much the current Industry standard ? or is it junk ? Or both ?

I personally do not like the Smok products I've owned... The ZMax was ok but I'm not into the single button menu thing. The XPro BT50 that I recently got is one that you have to click the fire button to wake it up in order to take a vape, the bluetooth feature disconnects shortly after connecting it to my smartphone so even if it were a nice feature ( I didn't see much need for it except to set a custom firing setup ) it isn't able to maintain a log as they talk about because it disconnects after a time. The other minor issue I saw were the slightly rattly buttons, I've seen much worse but Smok should know better by now how to make a decent button without rattle.
I dunno but they're selling the 80 watt version that takes two 18650's for the same price , maybe I'm wrong but it doesn't seem like one battery's really enough for a 65 watt device , can't get much life out of a battery at that rate .
