@Hightech Redneck ,I can't find any pics online that show the inside of the Icon top cap. Is it domed or chamfered inside at the top?

It's domed. I think that's why Mike Vapes put the lower posts on the outside so that the domed cap would clear them. I would have preferred the taller posts on the outside (even if that meant making the rda taller) so that the outside coil wire goes over the wick instead of getting in the way. Also not a fan of the Icon's air flow, it's noisy and not near as smooth as my Goon.
Look up Mike vapes review on YouTube, he shows that it has the conical shape.
I think several others did as well.
Mine doesn't seem loud to me. And yes the wide open on the icon is not as airy as the goon. But I'm OK with that as I have become more flavor than cloud lately. It is simple to build on and depending on your coil size you can just use the upper holes or vice versa. I used all four.
I wonder if it's coil placement that makes it seem louder?? Oh well I'm going off topic, it works well on my drone and fits my needs.
It's loudest in single coil mode, both holes open on coil side. It's almost whistling. It gets much quieter closing down to a single hole but that's not enough airflow for me. I have the exact same build (26g kanthal fused clapton, 5 spaced wraps) in my Goon and it's whisper quiet.
I was thinking of the Geekvape peerless, any thoughts on that rda, I have seen glamours reviews and its cheap. just wondering how it holds up to sqounking?
I have the Peerless and the icon, both are good rda's. I think the build quality on the Icon is better BUT the Peerless has a lot smoother air flow. I wish they both had velocity decks but they work ok as is, just seems more like a gimmick.
Ok I think the seal on my bottle isn't right.
Noticed I high pitched hiss when squeezing and not much juice flow. I think it is the tube not sealing properly in the topcap of the bottle.
Anyone have anything like this? Found any spare bottles etc...
Should I thin my juice? I think it's 75v which I would think is OK. Or did I just get a dud.

If it's the same 11ml bottle as the Therion then 75vg should be no problem. Check the top cap, hose washer and bottle top for debris. I found some rayon wicking in my top cap one time, not sure how it got there but it caused a small hissing air leak.Ok I think the seal on my bottle isn't right.

I haven't ordered from them but their reviews seem good. Glad you found those 11ml bottles, I'll buy a few for some diy squonkers and my Therion.
I ordered four (4) 11ml bottles from Origin Vape. Perfect bottles, as expected.
Bought my first Halcyon and three 8.5 ml bottles from them.
Great company. Excellent reputation. Nothing to fear.
I ordered 5 of these bottles from them. They came fast. With cap assembly and tube. It was my first order from them and I was pleased.
I got my drone today. I married an icon to it. This thing drinks juice like a drunken sailor. I'm impressed so far.
Meant to post earlier and forgot. I received the extra bottles from origin. Perfect fit and work great.
Got mine today and also topped it off with an Icon. I'm "okay with it, Drone weighs a ton and could probably work on my forearms while I vape. Too large and heavy to take out regularly but nice mod to have as a house mod, for me. Most impressive aspect of this Lost Vape Mod is I can change batteries easily without affecting the juice bottle, otherwise, an improvement on the BF Therion on easier battery removal would be more attractive.
As for the Icon, impressive.
I carry mine all day. I'm loving this mod. I'm still looking for a 30mm RDA that has a bf pin. I have a couple things I'm working on.
I'm good with mine and icon all day as well.
But I have to ask, why a 30mm? Unless you are doing massive builds to chase clouds it seems that huge deck would kill flavor. Which would also decrease battery life. Obviously I don't have one, but have not seen the appeal to even look for one. Enlighten me.
In all reality there's nothing to be enlightened. The answer is I want one. If I had a HOG I'd get a 40mm Mason because I could. The Icon will be married to the Drone. The 30mm RDA will be the RDA the Drone cheats with. LOL!
