I just bought an Intake rta in gold for my Thor. It is SO hard to find shiny gold, single coil, top AF RTAs. I am using the Dead Rabbit rta on the Thor now and it is good — just very tricky to get the wicking right for single coil, which I wanted since the Thor is a single battery mod. I hope I like the Intake. I had looked for gold earlier but couldn't find a gold one. I just happened across it Friday and HAD to have it! :D
It’ll look stunning in gold!

    Somewhere between here and there
    The Zeus X is getting such mixed feedback that I think I will pass on it. I have plenty of RTAs so will just buy a new one if I am looking for and find something special, like the Gold Intake. :)

    I guess some of the first ones built had a problem that geekvape released a video on how to fix. I didn’t have any real issues. It’s got a lot more airflow than my original Zeus. I put a 4mm coil in it and just wasn’t wowed. I haven’t tried dual coils yet.

    The radiator coil is the only one I have liked so far. I retract my statement about it being my new favorite.

    I don't know what you mean, I don't see anything wrong with my coil :p :lol:

    Thanks for answering. Can you fish year-round?

    Around here it's mainly lobster, scallops, and sea urchins.

    P.S. I had a lemon balm plant in a pot for years, just for the smell. It died this winter, which made me very sad.

    We can fish every month except November (spawning time) but typically only fish from March or April to November 1st. Crazy and/or desperate people will fish through the ice in the winter. October brings some crazy weather, and I've seen some forecasts during the winter of 15, 20, 25+ waves.. noooo thanks. What really wreaks havoc is the ice. It makes things so difficult, and generally not fun to work in. It's just not worth it to fish the winter, and generally only have a small window in early December. Otherwise were waiting to break out of the harbor in the spring. A fisherman I know on lake superior just FINALLY got his trap net boat out, he was locked in with ice still.

    This is a picture of my Thor with the Dead Rabbit RTA. It is the prettiest thing I have ever seen and I am excited I found an Intake in gold. This mod NEEDS a gold tank, IMO. Top AF is best since the tank sits in a little well (for the beauty ring which I rarely use.) Looking for something as specific as a shiny gold, single coil, top AF RTA does narrow the choices. ;)

    I only have the original. I wonder if v2 has the “harmful “ ingredients removed?

    It doesn't say on the site what is different. IDK Probably removed diketones.

    I need to reorder as my bottle is just about empty. I have been using the original as well. I think i will contact DIYFS however they will probably say it is the same or v2 taste better :unsure:

    You can get it pretty much anywhere, except Nic River, apparently. It is colder than Koolada but that is because Koolada is mixed as a 10% solution and WS-23 is usually mixed as a 30% solution. That doesn't make it 3 times colder since WS-3 is actually more cooling than WS-23. I would say it is approximately twice as cooling. In recipes where I used 1% Koolada, I use .5% WS-23. Sometimes I go up to .75% depending on how icy the juice should be. Start with .5% and add more if it isn't as cold as you would like. JHMO

    Thanks — the one and only time I bought WS-23 was from ECX. I had no idea that other vendors are also selling this. I will probably end up ordering from them again since I need a couple of their other flavors.

    I had it made by John Beam Driptips on FaceBook. I have gotten a lot of DTs from him over time and kind of already know what the various blanks that I like will look as DTs. This one surprised me a little as it has some gold in it that you can't see in the photo. Serendipity! Funny, I ordered that DT before I had even considered buying the Thor. That was one of those things I found in an unexpected place and just went for it.

    Mixed a few juices this morning one of which is Zing. I was going to modify it but decided to mix as written — who knows I may be pleasantly surprised.

    The others I mixed are all refills: Bailey’s White Russian Tobacco, 3 2 1 RY4 and Cranberry Gin sans the rocks. Once I order WS-23 I will mix again with the rocks ;)

    Has anyone tried FLVs Alpine Strawberry? At over $12 I hope it’s phenomenal even if it’s super concentrated! I really want to get it since all my other strawberries don’t bowl me over. And yes, I want to be bowled over by a strawberry lol!

    I did just get JF Strawberry that was suggested by the fogvlog guys as part as a strawberry trinity. I just haven’t tried it yet.

    What do you do on the water? I number many a commercial fishermen and one fisherwoman among my acquaintances; are you such a one?

    My brother and 2 nephews are lobstermen out of cape cod in Massachusetts. It’s a very tough life.

    Have some lemon balm in my herb garden, bruised a leaf and inhaled the heavenly scent, and now I must find some sort of lemon recipe.. down the rabbit hole I go

    I can’t vape enough lemon mixes!! Try VT Lemon Meringue Tart. OMG it’s incredible!

    I bought the Zues Dual and use it as a single coil. For RDAs I’ve just been using gold dual coils RDAs since it’s a 26650 it can handle them.

    The Loop 1.5 and Reload bottom af look great on it.

    I have it and it’s good but so far not fantastic. I’ll need to play around with it more. By far the Zeus Single Coil is sooo much better. I’m not a huge RTA fan prefer RDAs or RDTAs but the Zeus is incredibly flavorful!

    Has anyone tried FA’s Alpine Strawberry? At over $12 I hope it’s phenomenal even if it’s super concentrated! I really want to get it since all my other strawberries don’t bowl me over. And yes, I want to be bowled over by a strawberry lol!

    Is it FLV & not FA?
