I've been eyeing this but no real reviews on whether to buy or not
I have been running through all of it all night, making my notes to review and so far I'm VERY impressed!
TCR, SS, Bypass, Ni200 ALL WORK!
Best birthday gift I could ever have bought myself.[emoji41]
Full review to come.

The airflow on this thing is legit. Super deep juice well, too. Really diggin' it so far.
Sweet, been eyeing the Bonza myself. How do you think it would be for a newbie to dripping? Been thinking on picking up and RDA to give dripping a try and this one caught my eye due to the large juice well.

You think it's a good choice for a newbie dripper?

I would certainly say that it's a heck of a lot better than what I started dripping on. The way the build deck is designed is a little gimmicky with the upside down clamps but you'll find it much easier to build on than a two post style deck. I like that the outer post holes are set higher than the inner clamps, too. It fits the way coils are typically wound and just makes sense. Every time I see a new RDA released that has the inner holes higher than the outer ones, I have to wonder what they were thinking. And I love that insane juice well. You would have to dump a ton of juice into it to over drip. The airflow is super smooth and easy to adjust and the o-ring tolerance is just right.

So yeah, I would definitely recommend it for a beginner builder/dripper.

So, how ya likin' the Captain?

So far, so good! The battery life is nice (I am using the iJoy 20700s), and the hand-feel is comfortable. I haven't rolled through all the fee-churs yet, but pleased thus far :) SO doesn't "get" all my mods and toppers, and sometimes trying to explain the differences makes her head spin :D But, I'm overwhelmed that she got this for me - her resources are kind of limited, and I didn't expect her to pay for this.... So, this will be a very treasured mod :wub:

Very nice! I love it when gear has a history, I have an old iPV2S that is very dear to me.

A few thing about the mod...
TC doesn't work on it, and probably never will. Be very careful trying it out as the Captain will fire full power if something is off with the TC setup, like cold resistance or wire TCR. Also pay attention to the battery polarity and don't rely on the reverse polarity protection circuit to work.

There is new firmware for it 1.6 on iJoy's site. If yours boots up with a V1.XX use the 1.6, if it boots up with an A1.XX use the A1.6. Both versions are included in the firmware file, you need the updater as well.

iJoy pulled another one of their typical slimy moves and changed the 20700's they sell to a 4 leg version which have very poor performance. If you are looking for a spare set of 20700's, Illumn has the KeepPower 20700's that are exactly the same as the proper 5 leg iJoy 20700's.

Other than that enjoy the Captain! :thumbs:
