Sure don't think you can go wrong. It's my all day primary vape now...even with the leak.
Next mod/backup vape?

Hey bud, awesome to hear you're liking the gear!
Another Parkes Vaping fan here. As if the sig weren't a dead giveaway, haha. But like bass said, all Bill's gear is economical and more importantly dependable. It's all homegrown stuff, but it performs as well as the expensive stuff.
I'm pretty sure the Acorn problem is a fluke as you said. My Acorns are great, & solved all my CE2 woes.
EDIT Totally forgot, people need to try Parkes juice! I find they excel in the bakery/dessert flavors. Currently vaping his Peanut Butter Cookie in the Acorn on my Shine, & it's divine.
Just tried to order Shine Mod, Chibi tank, and some juice... I'm confused on their payment method. Says they will send an invoice to pay via WePay but haven't received? Maybe I'll sort it out later if they don't send me one tonight?
Lol...yea Digitech...I've never seen a payment system that works that way...but I kinda like it.

Dude, I got your order by mistake!
J/k, you'll love it. Obviously judging by the empty Heeth Bar I have already found a favorite.
And @bass, in case you haven't found it: Diamond Mod.
EDIT: Bonus tip, while it will prove hard, try to let Parkes juice steep for at least a week, more if you're willing. Bill & Mary mix everything custom, and some of the juice really comes into their own after some steeping. One that especially needed steeping was Honeydew Melon. I popped a mil into a Boge LR & it was WAY too mild, but it's been sitting in my box for just over two weeks now - the color has become richer by a bit and I can really smell the honeydew. I just DD'd a couple of drops & it already has a nicer flavor profile.

Haha yea Brian, its gonan be really hard to let that steep. Just had my first child today, little girl (6lbs 5 oz)! I came home to let the dog out to a mailbox full of different juices and cartos from other orders I forgot I had made, lol. My Parkes order shipped yesterday though. Maybe with my new daughter here Ill get so busy the juice will be able to steep! lol. Thanks guys, super exited.
Oh and carped, yea I hadnt seen that when I looked last week, but when I went to order I saw the new silver diamond and had to have it!
Edit: Although I did get my order of Boba's Bounty in today and couldnt wait to tear into it, unbelievable juice, definitely ordering more!

CONGRATS SIR!!! That's the best news I've read all day! That deserves a celebratory vape!
Got the Shine Mod, Chibi tank, and juice today. First impressions...
My only other big batt tube mod is the Silver Bullet, so that's what I have to compare it to. The Shine is thin aluminum. The threads don't feel as beefy or smooth as the SB. The battery fits loosely inside but tighter the the top end to align with the upper spring. The springs are small. The atty connection is not perfectly straight, it puts the atty/carto slightly cocked to one side when screwed in. The button is springy. So far the button is 100% though, which is A LOT more than I can say about the SB. The SB has been nothing but button trouble after a few days in. At the end of the day the button is the most important aspect and so far I'm happy after a few hours of vaping. It's also noticeably smaller than the SB, shorter and thinner. Overall I like it. It's cheap at $25, neat styling and just works.
The Chibi tank is simple and effective for a great price. Basically a plastic tube with a grommet on each end.
The juice I got was "Grape Juice" at 12mg 60/40 pg/vg and I like it. Nice taste and vapor. It could use a little stronger grape flavor but I enjoy it as it is. I may order more of this as I like it better than some other grape flavors I've tried. The other juice was "Girly Scout Cookie", which I'm not crazy about. I think I jsut don't like that type of flavor for a vape, I'll stick to fruits and colas
Service was great from Parkes Vaping. Very fast turnaround from order to ship and deliver. No problem with my request for a bare colored Shine Mod, quickly confirmed what I wanted and got it out the door. Parkes seems to offer some good gear for a great price. I'd have no problem ordering from them again. I will be mentioning Parkes Vaping to some folks at work who have been interested in trying vaping but don't want to spend a fortune to get started.

Huh. Never had a bit of trouble with my SB button. Maybe you've got a bad one.
For 25 bucks, though, I probably can't help but buy one of these as a backup.

If your interested in bottom feeders then here's my recommendations:
REO
VV ARMY TANK V2
HOG MOD
These are VERY best of the best. Bottom feeders aren't hard to use and are always box shaped. You lightly press the bottle while taking a dry hit. Once you hear a gurgle then stop and vape away. It's really easy to use.
Compared to tanks which require you to take dry hits to "re-fill" the cartomizer. The CE2 types works kind of the same way but, you'll have to invert it when it gets low to fill the catch cup that's inside of it. Overall, if you like tube mods then tanks are the way to go.
