I was talking about the solstice lol. I had a v1 and sold it. I wouldn't pay 5 bucks for a v1 right now. But thanks for the offer!

hahahaha, my misunderstanding.

I will most likely end up posting it in the classifieds. Just wanted to see if any of the good people in this thread would be interested in it first.

I did, just asked the HEM guys if it's mesh oriented or not. Also looks like a dual/quad atty only too. I have the K.Loud+G and I'm loving it; the flavor is so intense because of how tiny the chamber is.

I have an Avocado and a Griffin coming to me as well. Thanks for suggestions though! Gonna try the Avocado with a mesh u-wick first since it is labeled 'Genesis' on the site even though it doesn't seem to be a true genny. Regardless, I like the idea of airflow hitting the coil from behind; for some reason I won't pretend to understand, that usually gives me a phenomenal vape: the Veritas, Marquis, Ology and NarDA all have airflow like this and I love every one of those. Heard the Griffin is a really awesome rta too so I'm excited to start messing around with tanks again.

Also, the Sat22 should arrive today!
I'd love to try some gennys but I'm intimidated by the mesh. Seems like it's hard to get it set up right. Is it? The K.Loud+G seems great but I figured using Cotton in it would be a pain.

The Avocado and Griffin are great. I prefer the flavor of the Griffin but the Avocado is no slouch. They have an RDA coming out as well called the Tsunami. Velocity deck with Kennedy 24 airflow. Gonna probably pick one up since it should be about the same price as the Griffin and Avocado.

Some people are really loving the K.Loud v1 and the +G with cotton. It's about as hard as wicking the Marquis; you just have to take thin piece of cotton and push down into the tank using a small screwdriver

Mesh isn't really that hard, you just have to be patient and realize that it may take you an hour or two to get it set up correctly the first time. It gets easier and easier the more you do it; I can rebuild my In'ax in under 10 minutes now which is faster than I can rebuild any RDA.

The best part is, once you get it working correctly, there's practically no maintenance. No more rewicking or anything like that, just take the wick out and burn off any excess juice or dry burn the coil right on the wick. It's great for testing new flavors too since you dry burn in between flavors. Not to mention the flavor from mesh seems like it has more depth to it. You don't realize how much you taste cotton until you try mesh.

And you're making me antsy to get those RTAs in haha; my previous experiences with RTAs weren't very good hence a long year of nothing but drippers.

Geekvape seems like a pretty solid company so far but I haven't even heard of them until I found their SS316L wire; are they new or something?

I'd consider trading it for a Griffin and Aeolus Lite combo. Those are what I'll be getting after I sell it anyway lol.

Ahh, I don't have either.... yet. And when I do, I won't be getting rid of them; I tend to keep just about everything I purchase because there are many times that months later, I want to revisit certain things.

Almost sold my Hobo v3.1 after a week because I just wan't impressed but now I'm glad I didn't, I still come back to it every now and then and really enjoy the vape I get from it; it's not the best at anything but it's great at everything.

Same thing with the Veritas, almost sold it after I got my Ology because right off the bat the Ology was way better. After improving my building skills, the Veritas is now my second favorite RDA sitting just a hair behind the NarDA.

Anyways, good luck on your quest my friend!

I install the coils on the deck, and I have a bottle that's a mix of dish soap and water, give that a little shake, stick a tooth brush in it, get the faucet running warm-hot water, scrub the deck & coils with the soapy water solution tooth brush, rinse with the sink & repeat until I can't smell juice on the deck. I don't do it too gently, but gentle enough to not screw up the coils or their placement on the deck. Make sure you get a decent froth of soap going with the brush. I usually go 3-4 scrubs/rinses for the deck & coils. Just make sure you rinse out all the soap afterwards and then run it under some cold water to finish it off.

Edit: if it makes any difference the soap I'm using is the green Polmalive Ultra dish soap.
Oh man i been doing this for a couple weeks and all i can say is wow its night and day compared with not doing it thanks

This just in: Aria Orion EOS RDA Black PVD [aria-ori-eos-rda-blk] - $65.00 : Beyond Vape, Premium Vaporizers and E-Cigarettes

Posting mainly so that I can type "dual cyclops" the EOS not only has giant, dual cyclops style air flow in the sleeve, but it also has dual cyclops, bottom airflow that is independently controlled

So, does "dual cyclops" mean it has two?
Saw a sneak peak pic on their Instagram and it looks like it has both bottom and side airflow. Could be wrong though.

Does anyone wanna hook me up with an invite into the narda group....we can be friends....maybe even bffs

Edit: also is it weird that I perfer the origen v3 over the origenny?
That group is becoming a sh@t show. People openly bragging about buying from flippers and then people supporting them doing that. When I first joined, it was a nice group but now that they've allowed the flood gates to open it's just a bunch of chuckleheads in there.

That's exactly what I said last time it got brought up, you've been in it longer so I could only imagine. It went down hill fast after I joined myself. It's almost ending up like every other Facebook group out there.
