My problem is storing all this stuff. I am heavy into juices myself. I like the Suicide Bunny, Space Jam, Namberjuice and a few other juice lines. I almost feel as I am a juice snob cause I don't go to my local stores and sample their house juices. I think this forum ruins people because we all see these new products and have to try them and the problem is a new mod or something comes out weekly. I am eyeballing a IPV4 right now but I am so tempted to pull the trigger on a Hana DNA 40 dual battery

I know how you feel. Went out today to buy a new battery for my cell phone and figured since I was out I'd pick up another bottle of my ADV.... came home with a new VS rDNA40.

I call that "falling down the rabbit hole." Once you start, you just can't stop. Hahahaha

I'm amazed at the restraint I've had for myself when it comes to buying hardware. I always find stuff that I want but never actually buy it. I've been using my Patriot for a good 5 months pretty exclusively, and just last month got a Subtank. I only have a total of 3 mechanicals and my sigelei 100w, and... actually only 2 RDAs! I guess I've told myself that the hardware I have is good enough and I just spend that money on new juices instead.

I really want a Veritas...Darn it now I am looking them up online. How is the Veritas? I heard it is a flavor monster but hard to build on

I believe that's the same one I have as well.
Came in a round plastic display box with foam inserts?

I've been disappointed in the performance of mine.
Spits juice, the whole atty heats up even with the Teflon/Delrin pieces, doesn't produce as well with the same build as some of my mutation clones, etc.

Glad you've been happy with yours, though!

The Cigreen only comes with 1 ring. The ebay one I got just said Atomizer on it. My Cigreen was in a black box with a window and said Cigreen on it. I got it at a local B&M. I did see Tobeco now has the Mephisto V2 clone. Normally Tobeco makes a really good clone

I bought 3 of these:

30mm (29.6mm)

Like the size for ease of building, and it has a negative post in the center where I put my single coil; the 22mm has just the 2 side ones.

Does the flavor on your dark horse seem muted at times. I know at 60 watts mine is very airy. I have it at a .3 build right now. I love the interchangeable tips on it but can't stand how often I have to drip with that shallow juice well. The deck to build on it is huge. I think a blind man could build on the dark horse or mephisto

The dark horse may have a big deck, but it does not fit 28 over 22ga claptons, 5wrap, around a 3/16" drill bit. Or rather, barely fits if I stand them vertically and centered. The flavour on my dark horse is just as good, if not better than my old Tobh, but probably only because of the coil I'm using (said claptons) and that I'm pushing them at close to 80W on the regular, 100W maxed out if I'm competing. On an ohm-meter, it clocks in at a solid 0.16 ohms. At 0.3ohms, you're probably passing way too much air over the coils to get any good flavour if you're leaving the afc wide open on that bad boy.

I usually tell people that flavour chasers have to get a good balance of airflow vs heat. The cloudchasers often don't have to regard this balance, as their builds are so hot (under 0.2 ohms, usually under 0.15), that they need as much airflow as they can get anyway.

When I first started vaping I started with a MVP 2 and Aspire Nautilus. My how did that get old for me quick. I quickly decided I wanted to go bigger so I stepped up to the istick and that still wasn't enough. I finally went on to a IPV2X and then mechanical s peaked my interest. Then came a Stingray X and a Fuhattan, and a Nemesis. At first I though my Aspire Atlantis was the cat's meow. I got tired of buying $20 coils. I decided it was time to start building. I picked up some 28g, 26g, 24g, 22,g and 20g kanthal. Next I knew I wanted to try a RTA or RDA. I only have one RTA which is a Lemo and I love it. I had a billow but it leaked all the time no matter what I did. My first dripper after reading this forum a lot was a Infinite Magma clone which right now is my favorite dripper. Over the last 2 weeks I have picked up a Little Boy, Freakshow, Dark Horse, Plume Veil 1.5, Tobh V2.5, Tugboat, Mephisto V2, Doge, Mutation X, Stillare and I think that is about it. I thought vaping was supposed to help make you quit the analogs not become a expensive habit. I think I need to get rid of some of these RDA's.

You can keep buying and buying looking for tha perfect vape/ setup or you can take one more step and buy the best, a REO Grand LP. do yourself a favor and check it out.

Then I have no idea who's clone I have.
It did come with all 4 rings. I'm just bummed it doesn't work as well as I imagined it should.

Off to the Google to track down the manufacturer!
