14 watts on a triple 18650 DNA200 mod; battery life for days :)

Yup, I got in Monday and am still over half full on the battery meter. The advantages of a MTL tootler. Might only need to charge this thing once a week.:w00t:

Then again, I have SS wire arriving today for TC, so we'll see how that battery life holds out with a bit more of a challenge.

Another obvious advantage with MTL is less e-liquid consumption. And a greater advantage still with TC.

Which is a good thing, because I haven't started DIYing my own juice yet. I do, however, already have a bunch of nic in my freezer as part of my survival plan for the vapocalypse.

Earlier this week I had several packages all delivered by USPS. They didn't fit in the mailbox, and I guess there were too many, so the mailman left them in one of those official milk carton containers on the front porch.

Oh, and another expected today, along with 2 UPS delivery's. But really, I'm trying to cut back. Honest

You dont like the Tugboat? That was my favorite dripper for a couple years I still have it and use it sometimes. I do not drip very often anymore maybe twice a month if that.

No, for one, it has no way to lock it. Second, the magnetic insert will flip when you have no battery in... so, you have to essentially take it all apart when you have a new battery. third, the button is "ok".. but not great.

In practical day to day use, the no locking ring can be a serious setback. if you have it in your car, it's safer to lay it on it's side than to stand it upright. one bump when it's upright, and it could fire. if you try to put it in your pocket, you better make sure you have no keys or anything else in there, that will cause it to fire as well.

The Caravella is shorter overall, and has a locking ring. I can put whatever dripper I want on top. The button on the Caravella is much smoother and cleaner. I can push it at an angle and it will still fire, which you have to push around the walls on the tugboat.. the caravella/derringe combo is overall smaller than the tugboat setup, and it has the heat fins between the derringer so it stays cooler.... it's simply a better mod IMO.

Egrip II - New addition to my vape gear.

I guess he's showing what falls under the new FOOD and DRUG administration.... seems they're now regulating 18650's as well. I think that Dell falls in as a tobacco product since it has 18650's as the power cells. (Well, I read they control batteries, so I am assuming 18650's...

Other than my brass Nemesis all of my mech mods have flush buttons that way I can set them down and not worry about em. The Nemesis I have two springs in it so it will stand up on its own and not fire even with a Kayfun V4, would not put it in my pocket but all the others I would.
