I already know I like the legend 2. It’s the same as what I reviewed but blue.
Now I remember, have you checked out the Obelisk? Geekvape says it's the smallest dual battery 18650 mod. The smaller the mod the more appeal for me.

Wonder how many good mixes I gave up on because I didn't wait long enough.
At first, I didn't steep anything. Now I realize almost all mixes need steeping. Most "mellow out" like Cookie... not as good until a steep. Others get "better qualities" like Boysenberry preserves gets "jammy" (same for orange marmalade) And some get "richer" like creamy flavors. One that surprised me is JF yellow cake... nice and mellow but kinda bland at first, then becomes yello cake as the weeks go by. Finally, some that have "off notes"... some of that goes away after a long steep (but some flavors the nasty notes never go away)

Wasn't me. I bought mine a couple years ago. :D

I figured with folks buying everything else at FT those plastic boxes would always be in-stock. Wrong.

Guess it just took someone posting about them...for the few packs they must've had, to sell out. ;) I hope they don't change the "Ships in 5 Days"...to Discontinued! I won't be a happy camper.

Found out when reading the following on FT, that they started carrying them again in May 2019. They were evidently discontinued before that.

    I am supposed to be getting the 120 from sourcemore and the 200 from geekvape for review but don’t know for sure when.

    Just dawned on me that I bought 1,000 see-through, plastic tubes with top and bottom removeable caps several years ago, for really cheap. The plastic could be cut down to whatever length I wanted, to make a shorter tube. I used some to ship large quantities of beads in them, some for storage of small items, etc. I remember they're about the diameter of a quarter, with about 2mm extra all around it.

    I need to find them and try 1 with a Zenith and a couple other tanks to see how they fit. I'm thinking tanks, drip tips, coils, etc. storage tubes. :thumbs:

    @Tor R, this morning when I was watching the Tour de France they mentioned the great Norwegian sprinter....

    The God of Thunder
    The Bull from Grimstad

    Thor Hushovd. I do remember him from Tours past and his great sprints.
    I do not usually watch when it is a typical sprint stage, so today I did not watch TdF.
    Tor Hushovd was a brilliant rider though.
    We have good riders, but not the same class riders as Denmark has.

    Eventually finished cleaning them attys, tomorrow it's the fun part, dumping in coils and wick. I was supposed to have a Coolfire in black, but they also had ash gray, so both of them came home with me.

    The only miss is that they had misordered so I got x number of Kayfun lite dome kit, and not kayfun lite plus dome kit, does not do much, I am known to drop them to the ground anyway.

    plan for tomorrow, coil & wicks, test flavors, and possibly mixing.

    Øsa is going to a competition next weekend, so I have to train her a little dressage & behavior, not very easy with someone who behaves like a monster ....

    Those are the same two Z80’s I have. I kinda want the white one too.

    I have the authentic Dvarw's. Bought mine direct from KHW Mods in Hungary. I did buy some clones that I've piff'ed to folks on ECF.
    Over the years I've vaped, I've tried to buy authentic. It just seems right to reward the creator of a good product, instead of benefiting a reverse engineer. But, that's been argued over the years, so no point in doing it again here.
    But, I'd like to understand, given that the authentic is not cheap, why you piffed the clones.
    And, do you think the dvarw is that much better than, for example, a Berserker, which I'm pulling on at the moment?
    And, I'm asking just for information, not as a criticism, since I have several fancy Greek made mechs which cost a goodly amount and no longer use. Any takers for them?

    I just can't imagine. It's just two lanes on each side and I think it was too far up for him to be coming up an on ramp.




    I have used that same wire in other tanks without the popping. I never get popping with 316 mtl clapton. I probably should have used that instead of the bigger stuff.



    I can't even imagine going nic free. I used 32mg for a long time and eventually weened down to 24 and 20mg on RDTL. Just over the last year or two I had gone down to 12mg. Now I'm doing some of my mixes at 6mg for high output DTL but don't really see myself going any lower than that. I've actually been thinking of taking the 6mg back up to 9mg.I can still do the 12mg RDTL but once I get over 30 watts it gets a little harsh.
    I find nic to be mildly satisfying and not so frantically addictive in a vape as it was with cigs. And, researchers have pointed out several benefits to nic (as with caffeine) so I'm no hurry to abandon it.
