My thoughts exactly!
Let us know about the Russian. 1 outa 2 ain't too bad I guess. We all could've saved some $ if we skipped out on the Theorem.
The vape isn't bad on at all on the Theorem, the notched coils worked right off on the Cuboid in SS316 mode at 460F/35W. I left the cotton in it as I didn't have time to change it over to Rayon yet, the excess cut off like they recommended. Flavor was lacking to me, I put the same MaxVG (LV's Rolling Thunder) in it that I was using on the Stumpy and it does not have the same great taste. I am not the first to notice this and I don't think Rayon will improve it any. The notched coil is neat and has a really cool factor but I think that is part of the flavor problem, changing it over to a Clapton or different coil will help.

What bothers me is the drip tip, I hate glass DT's they look dirty all the time with the condensation, easy enough to change out though. If you are not going to provide a decent usable DT then don't include one at all like other manufacturers do.

The top cap could have been a little bigger so you could adjust the airflow a lot easier, I have big meat hooks and it's not hard, just doesn't need to be that small or thin. The Goblin Mini V2 is small but they notched it so you could get a hold of it easily, even with big fingers.

The fill port half way down the tank sort of worked ok with the provided dropper but a regular or shorter 30 PTFE bottle will have to be held over the hole. Still not a really big deal but the way all these top fill tanks are going one shouldn't have to fiddle with a fill port, let alone take the whole top off the atty to fill it. I had a hard time getting the tank off to trim the cotton when it was dry and once the o-rings were wet, I felt that it might slide off too easily later. They could have made a fill option through that chamber reducer IMHO.

I burned through two tanks of juice in it, so it's is a juice gobbler with those 5mm ID notched coils.

----

The Russian 3.0 V2 clone I picked up from 3F is a 1:1 with the larger air holes and bigger screw heads. It came very clean with no issues, so after a quick wash I put a dual 2.5mm 9 wrap 26g build on it. Wicked it up with Rayon and filled it. I opened the juice and air wide open vaping my go to 50/50 Golden Tobacco I was running in my Kafun Undead and KFV4 this past week. At 35W on the dual build the flavor and vapor from this Russian is excellent, surpassing the Undead and the KFV4 hands down. The juice and air controls are both click stop rings and they work very well, threads are smooth and deck screws capture the 26g wire without rolling it out. I will be putting a single coil in it later on to see how that works out.

The only problem is the 510 pin extends too far from the bottom, threaded part is ok just the pin which is not adjustable. There is a spring in the base like the KFV4 but it is just there to hold the 510 pin up and has nothing to do with the connection. It fit's fine on the iPV D2 but will not fit on the Cuboid or the WeeLeaf Pico because of Joyetech's divine wisdom for shallow 510...

The 510 pin can be cut down and I might just do that so I can run SS430 in it on the Joyetech mods.

I am very happy with the Russian 3.0 V2 so far and will put the other two KF's back in storage after they are empty. I have only had an hour with the Russian and will update again if anything changes with it.

Where is the least expensive place to get 100mg nic?

I usually get it from MFS but am looking for anything less expensive.
Ecigexpress when they have a sale. Check their
Facebook page, I think they just had a sale. They always have a 10% off coupon, that be used on top of sales when there is one or just 10% off. You also earn points on purchases that apply to future orders.

I'm one of those people that skipped out on the Theorem! :D Being new to building/wicking, I liked the looks of the Theorem, but hated that the whole thing is held together with O rings and that the deck was above the liquid.

I am an accident going somewhere to happen and that tank just looks like a nightmare for me. I pocket/purse all of my gear and there was no way I was spending money on a tank that I could only use (confidently) at home. If I can't go out and about with it, it can stay in the store.

Only the coil looked interesting to me (I'm lazy), so if I can easily find the 3.5mm notch coils, I may try them in my Bachelor, but that's the extent of my interest in the Theorem. :::shrug:::

I ended up grabbing another liter from MFS, I'm happy with the quality and it's only $50.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

I like a bit of pepper since I mostly vape tobaccos, I already ordered so no need for more suggestions.

Thanks everyone.
You changed the course of the conversation, it will eventually correct itself, but those damn tangents take a while to unravel.

Vaperstek usually has 100ml/mg th nic for about $10 for 120ml, or $45 for a liter, when they have it in stock.
