I have something similar to these TowerHobbies.com |Associated Factory Team 7-Piece Hex Driver Set from my R/C car racing days. everything has set screws on rc cars so lots of experience with that. The set screws strip so easily but the tools they make specifically for R/C are like this brittle hardened steel, they fit perfectly and they will break before they lose there shape/get rounded edges/strip out the set screws. I don't know the exact sizes for all rda's but I highly recommend something like this over anything you'll find on Amazon, been there done that and it's actually nice to find a new use for these old allen drivers I have lol

Thanks. Definitely checking it out!

I'm with you there, I think all these 3 and 4 post decks are just lazy/cheaper to manufacture at this point. vaping is all about airflow and all they do is impede the airflow. I mean look at the dotmod, its a simple 2 post design theres nothing really special about it but it gives a great vape. Its just a clean uncluttered deck that maximizes airflow inside the atty. I'm sure it's easier to manufacture a center positive post as it sits right over top of the center pin but it's counter intuitive both for centering coils and for impeding airflow.

And it impedes deck space for liquid. That's premium real estate right there! Just no bueno all around.

For the Zenith, has anyone any info on the wicking system? Is it just an extra deep well?
It's like a genny tank really, but with larger holes so you can use cotton or whatever you choose instead of mesh. July 24th it drops.

So no vacuum or anything, just a deepazz well? Not too sure that would be worth it for me. If it's just a regular dripper with a deep well/tank section, it's not as innovative as I was thinking it would be. I'd sooner just start sqonking.

I got mine Saturday (yeah, it's all your fault! hehe) Haven't built it yet. Have you?

Thanks!

When I say I "got the GOTA," I meant I purchased it. It should be here soon (if not today or tomorrow). We can have a dialogue here -- and we're likely the only two -- about how to get the most out of it. Worse case scenario, if we don't like it, is we spent less than the money of three 'high-end" drip tips or two bottles of 5 Pawns. Strange when I see it laid out like that! Prices just don't make sense sometimes.

Yeah, pretty much how I feel about the hobo lol but to each there own right. I'll see what the price is and go from there, if it's too much for what it is I'll pass. It is sexy though.

I REALLY want to wait until there are some solid reviews on the Zenith, but I also am REALLY eager to just pull the trigger on Friday.

Same here....I just really want to know a price. I bought there eclipse tank and while nice I feel it was a little expensive for what it was. And all it did was take Atlantis coils.

I am not against the idea, but like @HeiSINberg said, it'll be depending on the price. The Aeolus V2 Pro has slowed my roll on needing to get on an atty straight-away.

Exactly my point, that's why I don't wanna jump into anything right now. I've been burned so many times lol especially from the first production run stuff....worst decisions ever. That's why I've held back with the hobo, not that I don't want one, I just know deep down it won't make me happy, it's simple. Like you said with the zenith, not innovative enough.

How about this set? Amazon.com: Hex Driver Wrench 4 Pcs/Set 1.5mm/2mm/2.5mm/3.0mm: Toys & Games
