Or you could just wire up a 510 connector to a car battery with a toggle switch in the hot wire. Just flip the toggle switch on and you're power vaping. Even grounded to battery. It would be a whole new 'pass through' type personal vaporizor. Even a mini spring loaded wire spool mounted on the dashboard to extend / retract the wires to avoid voltage drop !

already did that.... forgot to copyright/patent it... China now sells them to look like cars

Yes, I might have more than you. I don't know. But aren't you the one with the Vapor Flask? LOL. If so, I might have quantity, but you have the mega buck gear. A lot of what I have, or will have, has been given to me.
I am going to mess with the Magma, and see if I still prefer the tanks. At this point, I prefer tanks. But I have not given the Magma enough time yet, to know for sure. I do like how light it is. It will fit on the iStick, and not be too heavy. The Kayfun to me is too heavy for an iStick. (it is too top heavy with it) I prefer the Kayfun on the MVP2, because the box mod is plenty heavy, and much more balanced. The MVP2 battery though, does not last me half a day. It takes 3 hours to charge it.

I want to stay with an rda single coil build for now. The Magma is so nice on the Panzer. They are an extremely nicely priced piece of gear. Excellent flavor. I think the Magma will be dedicated to the Panzer most of the time. The Magma is great for thicker juice. I am going to try my Boba's Bounty on it real soon.
I believe I am going to get an SVD 2 though. (from slow tech) That way I will be covered. The Aqua2 is showing it is in California now, for two days. That might mean it is very close to being here.

Dusty... You have both the erlP and Erlk? Or did I read something wrong. And the marquis?

Could I use a Lemo in the istick? I don't have either just thinking of selling my provari mini. Downsizing to justify a SQaupeR ;)

Just toying with the idea.

KK you have more gear than I do! Not hard to do, but it sure didn't take you long :)

    You're too late literally Papaw , BK rigged up a 15000 watt power supply to vape off of . :)

    Aqua built and loaded up with Serendipity just to make Dusty keep rolling his eyes until he gets dizzy. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Before build details, can I just say OMG VAPEGASM!!!! I love this atty. Love it. Just. Love. It. Aqua v2 = :wub: First build is a plain ole 28ga, 1.4 ohm SINGLE coil. I didn't have the energy to try building with 26ga, since it's unfamiliar to me. Just wanted to get to the VAPE. So, yes, a bit o' prep to plug up the second airflow. And I added some rayon into the unused juice channels per the video I watched. Now that it's closed off, later single coil builds will be easy. I started out building duals, aiming for .7 ohms. But the DNA30 reverted to mech mode because the coils came in at .6, and I didn't feel like messing with it. I will later though. I didn't have it wicking quite right at first. No problem - remove the tank with NO leaks, and trim the wick. Pop the tank back on and vape on. I love the look of the Aqua, the option to convert to dripper mode, the quality of the materials, and the ease of building on it. Top notch IMO. Score: OMG A+++
    Dual coil it LA , it's surprisingly economical with the juice and it's extremely smooth , I used 28 ga at .6 ohms too , slap it on the Stingray , it's perfect .

    Yep, it's gonna be fun to try all the possibilities with this. It might hurt my OCD to break up the StingMag. I mean, really - it's The StingMag. ;)

    I noticed already that the Aqua can handle more power than the ErlPrinz. When I go higher than 12.4W, the ErlP starts to taste "off." I have PB + Legend blend in the ErlP (Legendary Booty, Copyright Bunnykiller) and I normally vape that in the 15W range. At that level in the ErlP, it tastes burnt.

    That's probably airflow. The ErlP has a lot of airflow, but it's all coming up from the bottom. (Where it leaks and condensation forms on your mod's top connector - not loving that.) Side airflow in tank mode with the Aqua and increasing wattage is no problem.

    The ErlP will be my Provari tank, which will be just fine. It works better there anyway, because of the Provari 2.5's top cap design. It allows for a little less restriction on those bottom airflow holes.

    I was pleasantly surprised that it doesn't guzzle juice in dual mode , now if somebody builds one in 31mm to match the Big Panzer I'll really be set .

    That's another difference so far: the ErlPrinz guzzles more juice. Neither one guzzles as much as the Magma, though.

    IMO, the ErlPrinz and Aqua are pretty close in terms of flavor. A bit more vapor with the Aqua. They have the same coil build and a similar amount of wick. Now I have to cease my A-B testing before I slip into a vape coma.

    Your flavor assessment will likely change same as it did for the Magma switching from single to dual coil mode .

    Lori, you got it going on now girl! I never heard of the Legend/PB mix. Worth trying, maybe in the near future. I can't wait for the mail carrier today! It sure would be nice if my Aqua2 came in, but I'm not holding my breath on that. I did manage to order the SVD2 though from FT. Now I am going to be eating some very cheap food for quite a while, more so than I already am. I should be set for a while. I'm gonna be watching videos for a segment of today's entertainment. Also having to watch to see what my puppy is up to. She wants to be outside, but she is bored out there too. She is trying to release my son's old dog from his pen. He is a high fence jumper, and a varmit catcher. I can't have him getting out. She is determined to release him, so he can play with her. I have my hand's full for this afternoon I am afraid to say.

    I have no clue how he's doing it, but Chowderhead is starting to 'downsize' RBA's. He just today took a Derringer down to 18mm.
    Veritas, Mephisto, Marquis and several others are in the discussion.

    The reason why this is getting some attention is that once you get around 22mm - 23mm range, the front door on a Reos has to be slip down. Not that it matters to me, as I have always slid the doors on my Reos mods down rather than up. But just the thought of downsizing RDA's and converting them into bottom feed RBA's...
    Needless to say, Chowderhead is trying new things.

    Buddy! I ran my ErlP at 15W most of yesterday. No leaks..

    Do you still have the AFC on the bottom?

    Skype offer still stands.

    I removed the AFC right away and haven't put it back except when it was time to fill. It doesn't close off the airflow completely so it's put away. Remind me what your coil details are?

    In fairness, I backed the Aqua down to the 12W range. It's possible that I just don't like the flavor in a tank at higher power levels.

    I remember the Skype offer, and thank you. If I need to, I will definitely ask you. You're a doll, but you already know that. ;)

    If I remember correctly, I'm running a 1ohm, 26g, spaced coil on my ErlP.

    Unfortunately no. I called the cab company to ask about it and the operator just laughed.

    :(

    He was probably laughing because he got a free REO, dammit!! Chase him down.. *Grrrr*
