it just needs to steep
I do want to say that if I could have found a clone of the Microbig, that allowed a 23mm atty and 18350, I would have definitely bought that. Aluminum and all... 18500's.and 18650's don't appeal to me all that much in this form factor.

Brass is all for weight...lol...

There looks to be no control on this whatsoever. It's a box shaped eGo ONE CT. Everything that's wrong with the NEBOX made worse.

You continue to press on the button and it changes led color with temp change. I don't know what coils are used. Mentions AFC but that doesn't always guarentee function. I'm not crazy about built in tanks but I think I like this better than the nebox. It's a very nice design. I love the finish. There's a lot to be said for simplicity as a feature.

I choose to ignore TC, I just don't have any use for it. A device like this might push me in the other direction, if it worked well.

I needed to clean my glasses for that one. And my head, since it's full of one liners. Wow. AFC is in the top of a top filling tank too. No TC, a yea in my book. It is the very definition of a "box" if there ever was one. Seriously? Who has hands in that shape outside of Bender and he was cancelled. However it does fit a number of features, replaceable battery and glass tank. 271g sounds heavy. Very crazy looking pipe which is kind of a feature if it's connected with more than a single wire from a toaster.

Ok, I'll admit that I'm having trouble liking it on first glance. That feels shallow because any mod that works well will attract a following.

2(or is it 3) days in on the Phantus clone, loving the form factor(espescially coming from the R80 folding pipe), and the ability to use my KFL+ clones(of which I have 2, and now considering more for the vaping apocalypse), which I was really worried about. A little heavy, yes, but weight can be worked with.

Liking it so far. Now, I may actually consider an 18650 mod in the same form factor. OMG.....lol

Fat 'n' Fugly not your thing? Okay, not a looker, but it does have a sense of humor. :D

I totally agree. Yea I felt shallow being repelled from it because there are some features not found elsewhere that are on my wish list. I also don't expect anyone to take me seriously.

I couldn't force myself to click the "BUY" button on the Kato for similar reasons, and I know that one works well, i.e. I'm a shallow vapacholoic diva that puts appearance over function. Sometimes the fugly's are fun. I imagined the invader camafloge with charms, sticky gems on the right bumps and custom glitter tip might be as funky as nightclubing in a slinky dress with combat boots. There's some mods that can really challenge my creative juices. Stainless, black or boxes can be like cold, industrial office supplies and I've paid my dues for several lifetimes to those gods.

Bet I can out-shallow you any day. :p

Hey, if your eyes don't want to see it and your hands don't want to hold it, end of story, right? This is personal stuff. I just posted it because it was such an oddball and kinda funny. I don't think I considered it for more than two seconds.

Kato is another story. If it weren't so heavy and the switch were more like LPG or something as nice, I would have bought one long ago. Now that you mention charms, sticky gems, glitter and funk, I'll have to rethink the possibilities. :D

Don't apologize ever! I'm being silly. I always reserve the right to change my mind. The Kato seems like a very good mod and it was pulling me. I have budget limits. I was leaning towards the pink sparkley wrap.

Guess what came today......smaller than I thought it would be.
So far so good, will be honing in on my mech mod building skills.
I have lots of RBA's and only use them, but also only use vw devices.

So :toast: to new skills


@Tmebs, where did you get your SS Fountain? It has the wide seal on the top cap instead of the standard o-ring. I thought that was only available on the newer black and white ones.

Yes it is 18650, and its smaller than I thought it was going to be.
But it not too heavy.

Not too heavy to carry around all day? I have discovered I use mods that don't put a dent in my shoulder when I carry it in my purse. That means some of my favorites end up left at home, not used very much. I should probably weigh them to figure out what my limits are, or find a way to carry a smaller suitcase, er purse.
