@SlickWilly - not sure if the coupon is still good and the only one not sold out was the blue ;)

Damn it! Well the iSitck will have to wait, I spent enough money today, I'm sure they'll be more deals on them down the road. Today I drove to a city I haven't been to for a few years, Ithaca, home of Cornell University, man it's changed. Saw a vape shop and made the mistake of stopping in..... Walked out with some goodies, damn that kid behind the counter is a smooth talker. He spotted my DNA200 and asked to look it over, I was embarrassed all I had was my ProTank on it, walked out with a new sub ohm tank set up, juice, more wire and a few other things LoL. Got Youde Zephyrus, I'm intimidated by it and hesitant to try it LoL. But I guess it's gotta happen sooner or later, I wasn't planning on running ProTanks on a 200 forever. Are those tanks any good?

I use to work in Ithaca, twisted wrenches at a VW, Audi, Porsche dealership. I worked on Carl Sagan's Rabbit a couple times, yes he had a Rabbit, a white convertible, I'm sure he had other cars too. :)

No modding for me...stuck in a loop with a Rasberry Pi designing a telescope mount and a software interface....but a friend of mine will get a $400 astrophotography rig for little or nothing (with an iPad interface!). Back to work...if I can un-cramp my hand!

I have 2 Zephyrus's. There nice tanks. Definitely lung hitters, the RBA deck is a little small to work on. The top fill works nicely, I still never tried the pre built coils for it.
I think it's a nice option, If your out and about for long periods of time you can bring a spare pre built coil just in case :) The design is a little off, it can be hard to take it apart, You have to spin the glass off while it rubs the orings and it's tight
The tank capacity is a little small, it goes through juice like crazy.
Over all it's a pretty good tank :)

I use one as my current tank. Only sub ohm tank that I have and I think it's awesome. The top fill, the dual setup on the build deck, the air adjustment...they all work nicely. Steamer is definitely right though...it will go through juice like crazy, but that's because it's meant as a sub ohm tank. Haven't used the coils either, but I keep one in my vape bag (Maxpedition Fatty) just in case.

Well ... for those that have been following along. I almost made a DNA200 mod. There are a couple of problems that I'll have to find a fix for before I can salvage this one. On to the next!

I didn't have a ER16 collet small enough to hold the 3/64" drill bit for drilling the DNA200 mounting holes on the inside of the front cover. Rolled the dice, chucked it up in a keyless chuck on a jacobs taper ... run out was NOT good ... so there is no material left on the milled stand offs to cut a thread for mounting the chip. I'm contemplating various ways to fill the holes and re-drill them.
