Anyone know why this Drag S is SO HOT and burns my lips on a 1 second hit? The recommended wattage is way to high on both coils in that the pod gets so hot I can't stay on it.

Wow, that is disappointing. Maybe you received a defective device?

 

[DLKnives]

IDK man. I'm used to a 18 watt fixed Aegis Pod maybe that's why but on the reviews they take great big hits and I can't because the pod gets so hot. I'm going to take a nap. lol

Bummer... Sorry, DL! Use a taller DT?

N/M it's a pod?

 

[hittman]

I got the Drag S and it's not going well. It recognizes what coil you install and sets the wattage - and it burns my lips off after half a second! So I just tried the other coil, it's higher wattage and it set itself to 50w. Burned my lips off! What is going on? The first coil came at 35 watts and I had to go down to 20 so it wasn't so hot. This all is with airflow wide open.

Other mods I’ve tried have that coil sensing where it changes to the recommended setting depending on resistance. Usually you can shut it off in the menu.

Have you tried watching a review on it?

 

[Katya]

I read that the slot airflow disc can leak, but I don't use the slotted discs so I've never had that problem.

So how do you use yours? No inserts at all?

I really like that atty, but was afraid of leaks.

I really hope everything goes okay. It is scary.

I am sitting down after like RE-emptying my office (I should be done tomorrow I think) and I am just fried, although I'm glad it is the afternoon. The husband and I (per my STRONG request) sat down and like uh, mapped out a time period. He agreed to leave next Thursday which I think should be okay. It's like a 3--4 day trip. After looking at prices (and noting my point that if we NEEDED something we could access our storage) he FINALLY agreed to the truck. We have a Mexican neighbor next door (I mean dual citizenship probably) who was like "Few yard sales due to border crossing) but he will come look, take it, and sell it off. He is also going to (with his 18 year old kid) help us load UP the truck which will be FANTASTIC. Also, I pointed out to Ted that some storage places will help you unload/unload for you and my mom gave us extra dough for THAT.

So, my nic can remain in its fridge. For now anyway GOD knows what will happen when we get there.

I had a really rough night last night and this a.m. I think there is something really wrong with my kid. Either he is drinking? Getting too high? Just turning into a Blue Turd, but like I sent him a text saying we were pretty broke and etc. but I would love to contribute 200 dollars to the tires he needs. He called and got all up in my grill about the house... I was like, "Kid, SELLING a house doesn't mean YOU get the money that day besides it is ALL going to the down payment so we can retire comfortably, grandma agrees, that is why she is GIFTING us moving money even though I offered to pay her back. I was explaining he couldn't come anyway and our deep, deep difficulty in like, getting an apartment or anything but that we had to GO and see what to do and we would rent an RV and camp if we had to."

He started just SCREAMING at me and freaking out and accusing me of "Threatening to euthanize the dog," which I joke about but OMG I would NEVER do and I could NOT imagine my son in ANY state imagining I would do that and I kept trying to explain and like, he was cursing and finally called me the "C" word. Then he hung up. Then he texted me we "should not talk." Then there were a bunch of sort of increasingly "I was wrong to do that," sort of apologies "but you still want to kill my dog." (Those came later.)

I cried. I smoked a cigarette. I was like, "Holy crud my kid thinks I would euthanize his DOG?" He also accused me of trying to kill my mom because I believe in herd immunity. He has HEARD me say all things needed should be provided to the elderly or at risk, and it would create jobs.

He really reminded me of his dad in that moment. It sucked. My husband (I put the boy on speaker as I was wandering blindly in search of a cigarette) was APPALLED. Also very mad. I had to take 2 ambien I still feel sorta crappy but yoga gonna help.

So I sent the boy a VERY tough email. I have had it with the disrespect. I reviewed what I had and had not said, that I was POOR because you don't sell a house THAT day, that I knew his truck had been expensive so I wanted to help in the small way I could, and that was about it, that I was explaining the whole living situation to EXPLAIN why we had to leave before he even COULD visit, that I would never euthanize his dog, and I couldn't believe he would think that and say those things without even hearing me out.

I told him I did not want to hear from him at the current time. I said we had been caring for his dog for YEARS (food, shots, everything) and that the husband LOVES the dog, is home all day and that the dog is happier NOW than he EVER was when my kid was around and that every time the kid visits the dog BOUNDS into his lap and the dog has TONS of energy. I said we had never asked for or complained about ANYTHING to do with the dog and the kid has NEVER once thanked us for keeping the dog, as we know he can't and he is jealous so he criticizes. I told him that when he blew up at my husband I figured it was a husband thing, but now I was not so sure. I told him he was a disrespectful human being and I did not raise him to use that word on his mother or SOMEONE ELSE.

I told him he would need to apologize not just to ME but to my husband. I told the kid (the husband does do this) every time he was like "Not good enough he needs a greenie'/better food/cleaner water bowl and like, the husband actually DOES it. I told him unless the kid wanted to pay for pet insurance, I would continue getting shots from the feed shop because it was cheaper. Etc. I let him HAVE it.

I told him if he ever called me the C word again he could consider himself with ONE mother, his grandmother, because I was not going to STAND for that. I said he better figure out his dysfunction because it was NOT okay..

I also explained I had the right to my belief in herd immunity, when handled properly. I told him the economy mattered and starvation is 100% fatal. I said I knew he was sheltered but people do die from that and although I thought personally herd immunity could be achieved safely, that no one life, my own, his, or my mother's was more important than EVERY other person's life and people die, that is life.

I told him to leave me alone I explained it was not FINANCES putting us in a rented RV but until we got there ASAP, we would have NO CLUE and the renting an RV would actually probably be MORE than like, a small house or apartment.

I just had enough. I also told him he was more verbally abusive to me (he thinks the husband is verbally bad and he has been from time to time) than ANYONE in the past year (also true.)

We will see I guess.

Don’t blame you a bit.

I just watched a video on it. You should be able to switch it into rba mode and set it where you want. However, it comes with a .2 and .3 coil so they might have to be run higher than you are used to. The aegis pod coils are .6.

 

[JustWondering1]

And?


I love the big one because of the larger capacity and more open airflow choices. Alas!


Missed that one. Yes, I prefer a loose MTL. More homework. Thanks!!!!

I loved the Dwarv and decided it would be one of my vapocalypse attys, but I couldn't get around the issue I had with the chamber coming off repeatedly when filling. I finally decided it just wasn't meant for me and moved on.

Check JC in Florida's posts here on the last page or two. She found two sources for the Hastur MTL.

Hope you either like the GATA or can get the Hastur MTL's from one of the sources recommended by JC.

WoW that is really horrific, yes may have been drunk/high which would be an explanation but NOT EVER an excuse. How hurtful for you and after all the stress etc finishing off the last house this is exactly NOT what you need. So sorry for you this happened, again sorry to say this but he sounds an ungrateful little . I mean you just don't talk to your mum like that. Good on you and don't just let it blow over, needs to be sorted eh.
Well all the very best of luck to you there, you are one step closer to WV, Kia Kaha, stay strong.

[DLKnives]

Have you tried watching a review on it?

Yes they hit it for big clouds and I can't hit for more that a second since it gets so hot. I just went in to RBA mode and went from 50 to 25 watts and it gets hot fast.

I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. Kids are sometimes so overly harsh! They just don't know enough about the world to have empathy and understanding. Most will mellow over time and I think the letter you wrote to him was awesome! At some point it's important to let the kids know how things really are and to remind them of what is most important!

 

[JustWondering1]

Huh. I didn't realize the discs were optional. I thought you needed to have one in there for it to function properly.

I think each one comes with a choice of five discs. I've used two different discs and I like them both.

 

[DLKnives]

Do you have the airflow fully open? I wonder if they make higher resistance coils for it?

They do I have some mesh ones right here but I'm afraid to open them because then I can't return them. I have an email in to where I bought it to see what to do. For now I'll vape in rba mode at a lower wattage. Thanks hittman!

 

[DLKnives]

I have .6 mesh coils, the heck with it I'm going to try one.

 

[JustWondering1]

So how do you use yours? No inserts at all?

I really like that atty, but was afraid of leaks.

Each atty comes with a few different discs you can use. I looked it up and there are two different discs but each disc has two different settings. You can see them in the link below. I have used both of the disc with the air holes but neither disc with the slots.

I'm still confused. Sorry I'm so dense. Each of those disks comes with two air hole configurations--small holes on one side, big slot on the other. So you placed the small air holes under the coil, right? Am I understanding you correctly?

Great review, btw. Thanks.

You can turn the disc so that either the holes or the slots are the ones used for your airflow. It's a two-in-one thing and they are very easy to use and maneuver. In addition to the discs, there are also several different size options for the air flow holes and one big slot on the base of the atty so it is very customizable.

Another thing that makes me nervous is the size of juice flow holes because I use high PG juices.
