It's a nice day ... still a week or so away from the river cresting, but it's looking pretty good thus far.

Much about nothing, and two pics >

Back in July 2013, I traded an original innokin SVD away. It was the old telescoping type, not the v2 with the Evolv chip. I loved the look, but the vape left a bit to be desired (< understatement!).

What I got in exchange for it was something I was really excited about (at the time). It was my first "Modder" mod. Up to that point, everything I owned was retail. It was called Dark Nyte, and was dual 18650, VV, and just something I wanted to try.

It was different, and it opened the door to a whole new world for me. It led to a bunch of awesome Mamu mods, along with a load of other stuff (including an all-time favorite of mine from an Australian modder named Eric Moray).

Funny though, but I always kind of regretting getting rid of that silly old SVD. Choppy vape and all, I just REALLY liked its look. I've seen many for sale since then, but always in the $50-70 range, which was more than I was willing to pay.

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon one for $25. Brand new with shrink wrapper still on the box. Just for fun, I loaded it up. It's 21mm though, which I hadn't remembered (I was vaping cartos the last time I'd used it), so my topper options were limited. I tried an Erlkonigin, but that vape is so poor that it wasted the extraordinary flavor one gets from an Erl.

I opted to go WAY old school, and pulled out an old Cerotank (Aspire BVC coils). Tall and skinny tank on a tall and skinny mod. I added a tall drip tip too, just for effect. :laugh:

It's actually hilariously tall, seen here next to a P3 in 18650 mode (for height perspective), but I'm having a bit of fun with it. It's FAR from a great vape, so I'm certain it will soon go up with some others to be looked at but never used. That was my intention, and also why I was unwilling to pay a lot for one.

For laughs >>>

That is all. Carry on. :D

That's a really nice story but I am interested in that SVD pic...I have one and it looks different unless it's the angle or something?

Mine's in mint condition because I bought it just when I realised I needed more wattage and liked RDA's. It was a mistake really but it's an iconic bit of kit along with the itaste gatlin gun :)

That's the EHpro Revel RTA next to it :)

And here's the itaste 134...iconic :)

Your SVD is the version 2 (I have a black one). It's an Evolv chip (better, smoother vape) but an "updated" body. The other ("134") is also a very popular old device, and many people have one (including one of my kids who doesn't even vape (nic)). Good, fun stuff (all). :)

Yep..it's become an essential part of my mod museum....the history of vaping :)

I remember taking out the 134 and it was a real talking point...every one said ''what's that'' and another friend said ''is that a dildo'' hmm.....:lol:
