Yuckie! (I had to go rinse out my tip after this thread...it wasn't horrible but still...)

They're surprisingly delicate, I treat the Ming like glass since I managed to break the Pawn just taking it off. Just a wee bit too much torque and SNAP!, right at the base. Took surgery to get the stem part out of the atomizer.

Imagine if it were a Trippy Tip...I'd be pretty ...... off. Btw did you get any of those Sweetvape attys? If you did how long have they lasted you?

I just cleaned all my DTs last week. I had a pretty bad cold and didn't want to keep the cycle going.

I used to clean them all the time with my steam cleaner when I did my attys.
But I've been cartos for so long its been 5-6 weeks since I had to clean an atty :) I love cartomizers.

I would have never had guessed. :lol:

I got five to try, then went back and got 30 more, I like them that much. As a chain vaper, I alternate between 2 pvs all the time, trying to keep each from overheating. That makes it a little hard to say how long each one lasts, but probably about a week. (Though I do have one right now that's 2 weeks & 2 days old and is fine. Now that I've said that it's doomed, of course.)

Anyway, I really like them, good flavor & just about perfect warmth (without being too warm). I got the 510 2 ohms.

I was worried after I suggested them to you and others. They work great and the price is insane but they do tend to die fast and I didn't want to have anyone disappointed with that problem. Im patiently waiting for Ikn to reopen to try the io6s but even if I love them I'll still buy Brad's for backups cause they work so well and are cheap to have around. As matter of fact if the USPS had done their job my priority mail order of 10 should have been in todays mail when I got home from work. :glare:

Hey, at that price point it is ALL about performance, a short lifespan is not an issue. And I actually prefer them to the Ciscos of the same ohms, which are just a bit too cool in comparison.

Besides, the only atomizers I *ever* got really long use from were the big ones (801?) on my very first pv, the Janty Kissbox (penstyle...horrible battery life but those attys went on and on). 510s have been pretty quick to die on me overall, and it hurts way more with the more expensive ones.

How ya liking the new jobbie, Gil?

Boring. Lots good equipment here and nothing to use in for. Im the only Geek in the squad that can work laptops tho I seldom have so far. All I do is reinstall OSs (for virus infected PCs & LTs). I could work out front at the counter but I don't want to push people to buy new stuff or have to lie and say "your virus infected PC needs to reinstall (instead of hunting them out and removing them). Any chimp/chump can do it. I did get to replace a dead HD and a brocken keyboard...whoopie!!

His new sweet vapes VvF looks way too much like a REO Woodvil .... I'm just not going to support him based on that alone.
I can see there is no way to avoid some similarity, but the dovetail door, the hole in the door, the brass catch cup :(:(

Thats starting to look like a "knock off" to me. Just my opinion but I think its lawyer time.

Even the feed system is the same with no "spoke" and the tube straight through the cap and the O-ring :(

Did you think he really built those boxes...oh no...Deluxe Wooden Inlay Secret Boxes

Rob's VV Woodvile will be better and all hand made! Rob does'nt do shortcuts. Everything that he can possibly do on his mods he does himself.

Built or not, he's the one profiting from the sale.
And I know they are no where near the quality of the REO, but thats kinda the definition of "knock off". Right?

Is buying parts to make a knock off somehow better than if he was building them ??

It was bound to happen, take the best feed system out there and someones bound to copy it.
As far as I know he's the only one that uses the no spoke and tube through the cap with o-ring though.
(except for the creator)

I never liked the fact that his grip had Rob's feed system identical but at least he had a different "design" for his box. At least its not a single battery fixed voltage I guess.

Perhaps your right but you can find similarities in many of the wood mod makers here on the ECF. They all copy the REO in one aspect or another and he is no compitition to Rob. I even sent Rob a atty for him to try. I respect your opinion on not buying from Brad but I don't think buying his attys is supporting him besides (not me) but several Reonauts have his products again I do appreciate your decision on not wanting to buy from him. :)

No problem, its a tough line. All mods are similar but like I said I think the feed system is the worse offender. But with that he had a new design on the box and a different catch cup.

This new one is really the same thing less the 2 batts, VV and different button.

Its just me, I have no problem with anyone buying from whoever they want. I just know if I was in the mod business I wouldn't list that item on my site. But I am a little bias being a hardcore REOnaut ya know :)

Have a great night sir, its all good.
