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)
It did appear that the side airflow on the v3 can be closed off. Which I'm hoping is the case. sucks I ordered it today considering it's a holiday then the weekend. I don't expect to see it until late next week :(

That is a bummer. On the bright side, you won't have anything to distract you from your family this Christmas :)

Merry Christmas to all of you that have made this thread what it is.

Went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Tug v3, so I will give my impressions next week sometime along with others here that got it.
Hoping we can both find our sweet spots with it. I'll be doing my go to fused Clapton as my first build.

Not RDA related, but my origin vape order with the RX200 came in today. Tossed my old Smok TCT tank on with some DIY strawberry custard and cranked it to 75w/590*. So much better than the IPv4 ever put out. Next I will be building some sort of titanium Clapton for the tfv4 head I got and will be trying that out. Hehe. Merry Christmas to meeeee!

That white and teal looks kinda slick. All festive like! LOL
I honestly was hoping they'd offer different color doors kinda like the decimus offered. About the only cool thing about that mod, the customization aspect of it. Now that would make the rx200 even better then it already is imo. Even though it's by far my top favorite mod as is.

I wanted the all black version but it was sold out when I saw the sale. I'm now seeing people who've gotten one of each and swapped panels. The black and teal look sick and the white and black look legit too. Storm trooper-esque (and I am in no way shape or form a fan of Star Wars)

Hey now!!! No star wars bashing allowed! Lol jk. But your right, I totally should of bought 2 when they were dirt cheap and on sale. But I got vape shop gift cards for Christmas so maybe I should just use it for that...hmm...I hate decisions.

Lmao. No bashing! I respect everyone's opinions of things that I have no interest in. I just plain never got into it. I saw the original 3 when I was real young but it never grabbed me. Guess I'm missing out :lol:

I have both and would like to change the panels but I'm too chicken to do it. My luck I'd move something just a MM too much and end up with a dead mod.

Maybe you haven't seen the best one, the one with Rick Moranis? That is my favorite.
