What sites are you seeing it? I did a Google and couldn't find one.

thanks!
Sorry meant the Aeolus lite. I google "vape deals" and hit the top 5 sites. At least a few of them had it linked out this week for that price.

Side note, I couldn't take the hype anymore. I just bought a reuleaux RX200 on origin vape with a 30% off code. Also got the new tfv4 rba head so I could possibly bring that out of retirement as well. The way I saw it, after spending $150 on last minute gifts for my wife and kid, I deserved a little sumpin too! Now, if I can get the tugboat v3 I'll be set (for now) :D

As an Aeolus fan, I will pass on the Aeolus lite. Feels gimmicky to me; it's just an aeolus v2 pro with a split center-post and drip tips that should've already come with it; all for less money which is also sketchy. That magma reborn looks pretty awesome though...
Exactly!! Just like 10 other companies I could randomly ramble off.

I saw the deal on the 454 V2 the other day but I don't think it'd be my style. I know it's been raved about in the thread but it seems like you have to build verticals and I absolutely loathe vertical builds.

For a while, I only used horizontals in mine. But I can totally understand why you wouldn't like verticals (which is what I moved to with this atty, solely). They can be a pain, but short of the Marquis or the Origen, its one of the easiest atties to install verticals--although it can be a bit cramped with all those leads. Wicking verticals is typically where it can take the most getting used to (in my experience, at least).

Gotta say, I'm not a tugboat guy but that v3 certainly has my interest; top and side air flow on a two post deck looks really nice.

Yeah, same here. I am trying to not buy it, but afraid of kicking myself later.

I've never owned a tugboat. Heard great things about them. The top airflow and 2 post grabbed me. The discount code bringing it down to $64 shipped helped make my mind up. I'll post my results when it comes in.

I'm really looking forward to your input considering you're also an Aeolus fan like myself. As much as like my other top airflow attys, the Aeolus v2 pro is the only top airflow atty I use anymore; it has something to do with the feel of the draw. I have a feeling that the tugboat v3 won't quite be on par with the Aeolus because it seems to me the genius of their design is the horizontal airflow slots that route the air down a long passage. Most top airflow attys I've seen (and/or used) have vertical air holes in the top cap and for some reason, that doesn't give the feel (or the flavor) that the Aeolus has. The interesting thing about the v3 though is the top airflow combined with side airflow; kinda reminds of the NarDA but instead of dual side airflow for a coil you have top and side for each coil.

(someone please tell me it sucks because I really don't want to buy ANOTHER atty lol)
