Wow...just wow. I went to my first vape convention yesterday. Bought $1000 worth of "premium juices" that I cant usually get in Canada, tried so much diffrent juices. The $1000 worth of juices I paid $460 for. I also got 560ml of samples and won a 120ml of Arise. It was an amazing day.

Not a fan of anything except a well built RDA, so no. I know my friend, well she LOVES tanks and was raveing how this looked so good. Im almost sure she placed an order for two.

It could make for an interesting debate as to whether this should be considered an RDA with a deepazz well (that just looks like a tank) or whether it is a new kind of RTA. I am leaning more toward the former than the latter, but I can understand why you are leaning the way you are. For me, in my top two benefits with RDA is being able to change flavors so rapidly and not have to be tied to one for too many pulls, so I am not sure how this would occupy space in my stash. For flavors I just want to have ready to go, they stay in tanks (that are not lacking in any type of flavor or vapor), so I am trying to see the benefit (for me) in having a tank-well in an RDA. My hope is that the tank-well (coining that goofy term, LOL) is just one feature (not the main feature) and the RDA works and vapes amazingly well, just in addition to having that tank-well.

I'll admit, I love tanks, there so convenient for me. I'm not a fan of carrying around an rda, juice, box mod and whatever else is in my pockets. The tanks alleviate all that. I used to carry attys all the time till tanks came along the way they did these days, now there damn near just as good. Its not AS good obviously but it's not like it's devastatingly drastic. Of course once I'm home all I use are my attys, but when I'm on the go I always grab my tanks....well tank lol. I normally only use the one. The zenith looks ideal for someone like me, an rda/tank is just perfect. If it works how it's intended that is.

Yes, tanks have come ALONG way and I have to agree that the diffrence between a good dripper and a tank isnt as drastic as it once was, we all agree the diffrence is there. I personally have not used a tank in at least eight months. I tried a Crown the other day and I must admit that was the BEST tank I have tried. To me, the Zenith is a RTA and not and RDA. Whats the company billing it as boys?

All they keep saying is "Where dripper meets tank". Thats all I kept reading about it. I would say it's an RTA too, that's what I'd consider it at least.

You getting one buddy? Just to keep this on track a bit, I slapped a pair of 5 wrap fused claptons in my Stumpy. .18. Flavor is NUTS and with the right build this attie puts out something fierce for its size and style.
Hmmm, I wanna say no? Lol But in all honesty I'm trying to hold off on buying stuff for the moment cause my next rda is going to be the stumpy. So probably gonna pass on the zenith. If it possibly comes down in price for a sale or something I might consider it cause it really looks like it would benefit someone like me and my needs. But for right now it's a no, I'm saving myself for the stumpy.

I ordered the Stumpy, Rogue and Vector, today. My plan is to try both of the top-flow caps on the Stumpy base. Whichever performs best will be my leak-free, top-flow, two-post ADED dripper. Possibly convert the Stumpy base to bottomfeed for squonkers.
I'm all kinda excited. Will be stalking the postal carrier...
I will check-in with a report of opinion once I put the different configurations through the paces.

I sold my Vector, great attie but I cant just have atties laying around. Sold a few others, cleaned out the growing collection. The Stumpy, Tugboat, Petri and RH all made the cut and still reside with me. Yes, I sold my Revolt. I plan on picking up a Mako Shorty. Where can I buy that attie H?


You sold your Revolt? :ohmy:

But I am like you. I have to keep stuff moving. I don't like hardware sitting around not being used, and since I only have on mouth, I don't need a ton of gear. I love trying and buying new things, just not keeping old stuff. I do feel like I am still waiting on the "one" though.

Been a CRAZY build day today, I may finally agree multi core wire claptons vape better then my standard build. I still dislike tiger coils and twisted wire. With 26g Hotwire as a core and 36g N80 as the wrap I get about the same ramp up as standard 24g builds. I have that in my Petri (dual, of course) and the flavor is just nuts. It puts out better to, not that I built it to do that. Also put a regular 24g N80/32g N80 in my SC Tugboat. Again, insanse flavor and vapor. I think I will probally make the fused clapton in my Stumpy my "go to" build from now on. .17ish ohm, can put a couple more wraps and have it hovering just under .3 where I like and. On a side note, I saw some INSANSE cloud builds at the comp I saw yesterday. Not my style but this guy who won had his El Cabron setup real nice and was blowing the bigest clouds I had ever seen, EASY!

Haha. Yeah, I sold my Revolt. I know, it suprised the hell out of me to. The vape shop I know basically buys any authentics I dont want and I sat down vaped all my atties and sadly the Revolt did not make the cut. Its crazy because the Royal Hunter beat it for various reasons. Have you ever had a Petri Mr Mann? Theres an attie you may like. What have you gotten in recently?

Been buying other vape supplies, but I do have the Zenith coming and the Derringer. I know, it seems weird to get the Derringer now since it's kinda passe, but you can find it now for $60; I figured it was a good time to get the v1.2 (third batch). Plus, I have never actually owned one. Even if I don't like it, I just finally had to try it to compare to the rest. The Petri does sound cool though.

Zenith rta thing you mean right? You got rid of a Stumpy to get a Derringer...smh. haha, im only bugging you. Can you link me to where I can get it for $60? I might buy one to use as my "ni200 only" RDA. I feel I could be missing something big but then I grab my wifes Petri with a CLAPTON ni200 DUAL setup (I would think for ME that would be better then straight wire) and take a pull...let down. Grab mine set up with nichrome or kanthal, regular build and it just blows it away. I kinda wanna get more into it though, I just feel like I have to...dunno.
