Two old favorites. Cartel with Stillaire and JA Victoria with Manta v2. I hit my vaping stride with these two and got a lot of use out of them.

Another special Mech I had never heard of before. RC mods from Russia, made by Roman Chekorin paired with my old favorite the Phenomenon by GUS mods.

This one is not going to be easy to work with, so far I think the Phenom is not a bad match. I need to find a brass and green wood to tie it all together.

It has a great switch but Im still getting to know it and it either auto fires or rattles. Im sure there is some trick to adjusting it, but I want to use it NOW.

Seeing the Puresmoker Icon pic from @snork got me to reach into the back of the cabinet. I think this was the model after the Icon. Still works well, although I still am annoying about having to lock the switch before setting it down (one of the reasons it was in the back of the cabinet, along with the mini version).

That is beautiful, is it a media sand blast?

I have a couple oldies that NEED to be locked or they fire off, but I still use them. Im so paranoid that I have just gotten in the habit of locking always. In fact I have a couple that dont lock but they dont auto fire, and its so hard to get used to not locking that I tend to subconsciously not use those as mucho_O

Yes - media sand. The finish has held up very well through a lot of not all that careful type of use. Here's the full family album:

Heres another oldie but new to me. Its the Valkyre Mini 14500 ( hybrid?) its all in one, dripper and tube are one.

Its a lovely mod, so buttery smooth and gives a great vape, especially for those really gross but delicious NET. It has a pretty easy deck, and has a lot of range with the air flow.

Im really enjoying it. Didnt think Id like it because of the odd shape, but it fits in hand so comfortably and gives one that elegant small cigar/ larger cigarette holding experience.

I got this classic as a gift, was not sure if I could use it. The Kraken Copper by Vicious Ant.
Its a genesis RTA, but decided to set it up with cotton, and damn if this is not an excellent vape. It has an inner quartz tank with the copper sleeve so the copper does not make contact with liquid. Nice air, great taste.

I was worried about its looks and the color, but It looks pretty darn nice on my black MCR.

Nice one. I have always thought that the Kraken is one of the best looking RTA's.

I didn't think I would like it either. Until I saw one in person. Very nice!

But you have to admit the way it locks is pretty cool. It took me awhile to remember what they called it: The Prodigy.

Awesome find!

So in my search for another non-standard 30 mm rda after moving my scythe over to the nemesis 30 I stumbled onto the dog bone rda by ihybrid. I had no idea this atty even existed but when I saw the deck and airflow system I knew I had to have it for my bfm. Paid less than half price for it too to rescue it from the bargain bin at coval vapes.

The flavor this thing puts out on a simple dual coil 26g .5 ohm build is incredible! Nice restricted lung hit that kindof reminds me of my kayfun 5 and might be even quieter! Seriously, this thing barely makes a sound when I huff on it!

Super happy with this one.
