Yup , it is , too much for me . But it's an interesting design , the airducts are angled to prevent leakage and the well holds 5ml , crazy capacity on the non BF version .

Not terribly exciting post here as far as hardware discussions go, but I finally had to do a new coil for the first Aqua v2 I got. Fresh new 26ga, 7/8 wrap at 2mm for .9 ohms. Humble little micro-coil. Same as I was running in it before.
It's gotta be at least 4 months ago when I did the coil I just replaced. It was such a busy time that I'm glad I got such a long life from the coil. Big difference in flavor with a fresh coil, at least to me. Probably because it performs more efficiently and heats up better. That's confirmed by the improvement in battery life.
Even though it's been so long since I built a coil, I got 'er done and wicked in about 20 minutes. Not the fastest, but I'm pretty pleased.

Gawd, this place is dead ! I guess either everyone is happy with their gear, or Todd's stepping away really bummed some people out.
Mamaw started on me last night about a co-worker's son who supposedly had "one of those things you use" blow up in his face. Burned lips, tongue and mouth, lost a couple teeth, even put a whole in his throat.
At which time I simply took out my Grand, removed the door and battery, pointed out the battery spring and explained it's function in the event of a dead short. Then I explained how the vaping market has been flooded whit "cheap knock-offs" from China, and that the electrical circuit boards in these cheaper mods can fail in a way that prevents the fail-safe built into the board. I think I lost her somewhere after "China".
But I did assure her the mods I use are superior to the Junk from overseas....

Hard to say the cause without being there but cheapass gear is definitely an issue. And some of these people are building mini power plants for mods. Saw an atty yesterday that had 8 coils on it. Come on!!!!
8 coils? Good grief, that is insane. Two is PLENTY. If you can't get what you need from two coils, I think you are not happy with vaping. I am happy with one coil. The reason I don't talk about hardware anymore, is because I'm not looking. I found what I like. (finally) In the future maybe another atty, or two. But as far as a mod, I am very happy.
I'm happy with my gear too. Now, if I had a lot of money, I'd happily spend it to pick up another ZNA Lite. I think. Maybe not. 
LA, if a ZNA Lite would make you happy, go for it. Life is short. A good mod can make all the difference.
but thats what its all about... this one will make you happy, that one will make you even more happy and the other one will make you wonder if you were even happy at all with the other 2.... constantly looking for a happier moment...
someone needs to create.... Rent-A-ModnAtty... rent a system for a couple of weeks to find out if it is for you... if so, 10 easy payments of 29.95 if not, a single charge on your card for 69.95

if not, a single charge on your card for 69.95 And this is why this thread died. Everyone kind of found their happy spot at the same time. And the thought of spending $$ on more is not appealing. I've settled on the P3 and Achilles RDA's with the Kayfuns in the bullpen. Got my juice down to DF, CAT, and Apache. No need for anything else unless it is just for playing around. I think most of us have found our places and are happy where we are at. Unless there is another Kayfun-like game changer I'm not seeing any reason to explore any further.
Well, since I already have one, the ZNA Lite has probably brought me all the happiness it's going to. Another one would make it easier to rotate flavors. That might be nice.
Actually, when my business recovers and I have some financial breathing room, it would make me happier to travel a bit.

You're onto something there! And let them keep the atty if they decide not to buy the mod. It'd be chaper than sterilizing them and the liability insurance you'd need in case anyone got sick and blamed the used atty.
That's pretty much it , the only plans I have now is a metal LP Reo for work and out and about , don't wanna put my Woodville at risk , and another Rose V2 as a backup . Nothing else appeals to me . Legend and DF are constants with an occasional session of other NETS or TC . I'm not bothering to look at other gear or juice . The Reo and RM2 are perfect for 99% of my vaping , with the Rose's for home use , I'm set .
Exactly! Anything more is just obsessive playing...not that there is anything wrong with that if you have money to burn.
Funny how we all pretty much found our happy place, about the same time frame. I have cut out new flavors too, with the exception of one. I haven't ordered a new flavor in quite some time. Retic, I have not taken my Woodvil outside at all. I am afraid I will drop it. I do have the metal one that was given to me. If I have to leave the house, I take that one with me. It is so nice to fine "the one". Hopefully in the future I can get another one, so I won't have a heart attack, if I have to send this one in for any repair. When I bought the Woodvil, I did order an extra spring. I will need more bottles though.
The nice thing about a REO is there aren't many parts to screw up...no chipsets to fry either. If something breaks down there are many home brewed fixes. This was always an attractive part of mechs. There was a run on mechs when the apocalypse first became a reality. People wanted a dependable PV that they could repair in a pinch.
I think you're right about that. Contentment is sweet, but doesn't leave much room for conversation. I have my P2.5 for backup, and all I'd need to do is build higher ohms coils. And I have my 3 or 4 beloved flavors.
Now Youve made me really glad I kept my Stingray.
KISS, right? I have a P2, a temperamental SVD, and a Nemesis mech for a backup. Oh, and a bunch of leaky RDAs and Vivi Nova's. I think I'd quit if it came down to Vivi Novas again.I think you're right about that. Contentment is sweet, but doesn't leave much room for conversation.

Absolutely! Never get rid of it. I will never get rid of my Nemesis. Remember that scene when Quint was gazing at the life jackets as he stood in waste deep water? Things have a way of looking better under certain circumstances.

Yes exactly! And if it came down to my old Halo gear (an Ego twist knockoff) I think I'd do the juice on the fingertip thing instead.
