Haven't yet seen these show up at vendors, but this little rda rocks! Dual coil, dual air holes with adjustable air flow. Post your tips, tricks, and pics.

Missed this one but I am in on the next. In the meantime, I have a couple of Chimbus' coming from fasttech at 6 bucks each. Look forward to the next co-op.

The Chimbus looks like the Phoenix V7. You can't get any cheaper than Fasttech on those. Let us know if it has the dual airholes.

Definitely interested in this...is the primary advantage and increase in flavor/vapor due to the dual coil ability?

On the Phoenix V5 from the coop that I haven't seen anywhere, it is the dual coils, dual air holes and small chamber that really bring out the flavor. The V5 at Fasttech may have the same advantages, but not sure if it has 2 airholes. It doesn't have an airflow control ring, but frankly I vape the V5 I have with the air control wide open.

I just got mine today, found one in the classifieds. Build and finish look nice, only complaint is the air ring. Threads have a very loose tolerance, but for $14...
I didn't have much time to play around with it today but I did vape the stock coils after cleaning it, not all that impressed yet honestly. Vape was subpar and had a terrible th. I plan on replacing the coils tomorrow then see how she does. My igo's, octopus and squid's easily outperform it at this moment in taste and vape, but I'll see if I can fix that.

So which is better, the V5 or the V7? Can the V5 still be ordered anywhere?

The V5's that I have seen for sale at vendors were a first run and the sirholes were too high, they've since fixed them, but not sure if our coop was the first run of these new revis
ed versions.

You may have the first run where the airholes sit too high above the coils. Folks with those versions had to drill new holes.

I think you guys are the first ones to get the revision. The reviews on V5.0 were terrible for the reasons you mentioned. So far V5.1 is sounding promising.
