Hows that thing vaping? Is it everything you imagined it could be? Mine still shows Pre-shipment info sent to USPS and that is from Friday afternoon... I am going through withdrawls waiting for it show some kind of progress!!!
I honestly love it, it's making me wanna get rid of most of my other 3 post attys lol. I really only have 1 complaint though. When your using the top cap it comes with instead of the chuff cap it's insanely hard to turn it to use the air flow control, which I don't use but it's one of those attys that you have to push down and turn to get the top cap to sit flush cause the o-ring tolerances are so tight on it that you really have to muscle the thing and that's with the rings lubed. But other then that it's great, still no spit back and that's with or without the chuff which is amazing. Another thing is it's kinda hard to drip into without the chuff cap, I find myself having to take the drip tip off to do so. Since the chamber is so small when you look down into the top all you are greeted with is the center post lol so I just pop the drip tip off and it's easier. Other than that I can't complain and those 2 things are only really me trying to find things to say.

I think that is all workable in my book. I probably won't use the standard drip tip AFC with mine. I am all into chuff caps lately and that is part of the reason I ordered one. I really like my Vertex Jr but the chuff cap has no way to control the AFC. I have grown accustomed to vaping it wide open anyway, but sometimes I would like to close it off just a bit. Can't wait...

Yeah I can understand that, I find it easier with the chuff anyway just sometimes I like the variety to actually be able to choose like you said, it's a great option in my book. The only thing that coulda made this any better is if it were a 2 post and that's IMO, but I can't have everything now can I lol. I think you'll love it though. Mine took a little bit to arive too and that was with 2 day priority, they took forever to send it out and I ordered the same as you, on a Friday.

oh i know all about large attie collections H, haha. Me personally I refuse to get there lmao which is why I love that I can use the B&M around the corner from me as an attie pawnshop haha. I just wicked up with KGD and took it right out in favor of VCC. I know you are a VCCr right H? I used to swear that I would never use vape cotton. Its a marketing scheme I would say. I still feel that way about every product EXCEPT VCC. I am to currently using a SC Tug (v2 though.) I wicked my Tug with koh gen do then ripped it out as I said haha.

Has anyone else seen UD Builders Choice 316 L wire? Im %99.9 sure some sub ohm clearos use that type of wire for coils. Its what g plat is I think, could be wrong please dont crucify me. I tried to buy a large ammount a while ago but could not. Does anyone know that site that sells all types of wires btw? Back to the UD wire, its UNREAL. I had some a few months ago (not UD) and it lasted sooo much longer then regular kanthal. Lower resitance which I like and the flavor is amazing. I put a dual setup in my Tugboat, .27 ohm. If I can find a supplier to purchase 500ft of this stuff for a good price it will be my new go to wire in favor of Nichrome80. I barely use KA1 anymore, usually N80 but I would love to get me a large spool of high quality 24g 316L SS wire.

Does anyone know the site that sells all types of vape wire? Also guys, did you get the Mako Shorty from beyond vape? Hows the flavor.

Got the Dinghy in today. Dinghy is correctly spelled on the side unlike the picture. The Flawless logo and Dinghy are... Like the Hastur printing. Its like a transfer? I don't like that. Looks cheap. The deck can get pushed up into the top cap. Really don't like that. I have to work all night but when I get home I'm gonna throw a quick build in and see how it vapes.

Yes sir, VCC is ALL I use and will use anymore lol sounds snobby but it's a preference I swear the stuff is angel hair. And yes I got my mako shorty from beyond vape, I'm pretty sure there the only online retailer with it, I think the mako is there "brand" of attys. If your going to get one I'd get it before the month is out so you can get the 20% coupon I posted before. Its really a steal. I mean I know people aren't feeling the 3 post thing these days but really I wouldn't say this if I didn't think it was a steal. I love mine, I couldn't be happier. Flavor is great, definitely on par with the tug/slam cap.

Looking forward to your opinion of it, I tried to order one but the site kept crashing/wouldn't let me and by the next morning the excitement wore off so I didn't order. It seems to be similar to the derringer which is probably great for most people because everyone thought it was so great, I just don't like the small chamber attys because I like to vape at higher wattage and the derringer was never very good at that for me.

P.S. Who is VCC? been wanting to pickup some cotton bacon v2 (heard good things about it) and some of the new LG HG2's but can't find anyplace that has both, maybe they do lol

Vaper's Choice Cotton. I ordered some last week or so, but it's still not here. Don't know whats going on with that. Cotton Bacon V2 is okay, I guess. A little on the grainy side!

I'll be sure to post my initial impressions when I get home and get the Dinghy built. The cyclops slots are smaller than I thought not that that is a bad thing. I'd imagine the flavor should be excellent with fairly good vapor production. I think this will be my last atty for awhile unless I break down and get a Petri. Its either that or an unreg box mod, haven't decided yet.

I wish I could find an atty that would do for me what the SXmini M-Class did: stopped me from looking for anything else. Not that I won't buy something else, but the "looking" part is what is so damn consuming! I am kinda stoked about The Zenith, but if I've learned anything it's to keep those expectations in check. Hell, keep them in a locked box!

I'm exactly the same way. I'm reasonably satisfied with my current lineup of Tugboat with SC, Vector, Hastur, Velocity, Derringer, Aeolus V2 with a MiniDrip and Kennedy Comp on the way. Hopefully the Dinghy displaces one of these so I can sell something. I'm still very interested in the Petri and Zenith and Derringer V2. I know I'll still be active in this thread and "window shopping" for mods and attys but I think I need to settle down for awhile and enjoy what I have.

If you don't have a hex ohm I highly recommend that over an unregulated it hits just as hard as a mech and its really nice to have the voltage adjustment to fine tune your vape. I just bought a second one, got lucky and found a grimm army limited edition, i'm not the biggest grimmgreen fan or anything I just think it looks freakin awesome lol

I definitely like the HexOhms as well as the Slidex from Conspiracy. They're probably almost the same internally just aesthetic differences. I wanted a parallel unreg cause I could build slightly lower and not have to worry as much about the batteries. I was looking at the XEVape dual 18650 as well as the Tuglyfe and Truck.

I'm always going yo want something new and shiny lol. I'm just gonna try to live vicariously through you all for awhile.

I had wanted to Sector One Vapors' Aeon Box Mod (dual 18650), but I never heard much about it after it was released. I dunno, I guess I am not as prone to toss too much money around on mods, at least not like atomizers. It's weird though---last night I was thinking about all these hundred dollar (and some times more$$) atties that ain't a lot ore than the same old deck with a different airflow, top cap and logo. Two little RDAs costing as much as the SXmini or any other great mod? Just seems to be out-of-whack. I should definitely spread the myself more broadly though. Well-rounded is much better than chasing one's tail around and around.

Edit: I see the price on the AEON box mod and wish instead of buying the NAMI for $140, I would've spent $40 more and gotten that mod! I did return the NAMI, but that money got gobbled up in various other vape purchases. Doubt I get it now, but wish I had.
