Update to add I couldn't stand the chipping black paint so I sanded it off.

I ordered a Mini Volt three days ago, cannot wait to get it in. Probably gonna use a smallish clearo on it when out and about.
I need to block this thread I swear lol its bad enough I've been eye ballin the hell out of the mini volt now you guys are really making me want one. But I will wait to hear some thoughts first, even though this would go great with my tank.

LOL, I know the feeling. I won my fantasy football league and that prize money is burning a hole in my pocket. Trying to decide between buying a few cheaper pieces or just one big piece like a DNA 200 mod.

My 2 cents, not that you asked, but I almost always go for a few small things that equal out to a bunch of stuff I needed anyway. Unless of course there's something I really really want, then I go big. Just my thoughts. But I am always faced with that decision.

That's generally what I do as well. A DNA 200 would be nice but honestly there are so many good, inexpensive mods out that I don't see the point in spending a whole lot on one. And, as lame as it may be, I'm not even interested in the DNA 200 because of the vaping side of the chip. I want to be able to customize my screen. LOL :facepalm:

The mini volt is so cute!!!! I want one so bad. I'd toss the low pro though. But that's just me, it wasn't that great but you may like it.

Dayum! That thing is awesome. Can't have much battery life, but I wouldn't care for the size of that thing.

Yes!! Exactly what I wanted one for lol. There's only one DNA 200 I would ever spend the money on or buy for that matter, the hobo-x, ultem preferably. Plus since the reuleaux rx200 pretty much satisfies that itch for it too. My next big purchase will most likely be that satin NarDA, after that I'm really gonna try and back up from buying rda's, I need to take a step back and think about buying anymore of them from that point on. Unless it's really mind blowing to me, I won't be buying it, I've had enough.

Someone on instagram commented on the battery life, which yeah it can't be great, but for a on the go pocket friendly tank mod I really want it. Plus it's smaller then the IPV d2, which to me is just crazy.

That's the point I'm at right now. Unless there's a Hobo V4 or NarDA V2 released, I don't think I'll be interested. The Hobo and NarDA are so well machined that I think they'll last me quite awhile. Once I find a couple of tanks to add to my rotation, I will be done. Then it's on to DIY juice.

I know, right? The D2 is my daily carry to work with the Hobo or NarDA on top. I can put that combo in my shirt pocket easily.

Yup same here, but I bring a tank with me too when I get sick of dripping, or when I can't exactly drip all the time. As far as small mods that are pocket friendly It hasn't been beat yet. Yet at least.

I totally get it and agree, too. But that satin NarDA, especially the black one! Yeah, that is nice.

Wait, so the barrel of the Aeolus v2 Pro fits, but does the top cap fit too (wondering about the clearance)? Just curious if you are using the Aeolus airflow or the Tug.
The picture is showing the tugv3 deck, barrel from the Aeolus v1 and tugv3 topcap.

The v2 barrel I have not tried because of the threading at the bottom. Plus I think there wouldn't be enough clearance with the shorter barrel.

Now that you ask though, I threw the Aeolus v2 pro (clone) top and standard top on the Aeolus v1 barrel for reference. Both fit nice and snug. Having the adjustable airflow is much nicer.

Pics for reference:

I threw a smaller different build in the tugboat v3 and played around with the air flow a tad. It's not THAT bad now. I probly won't keep it but for now it's not a bad vape. I still like the v2 with slam cap a lot better then the v3. It still pisses me off to no end that I can't somehow close off the side air flow, stupid stupid stupid lol.

Post-holes at the exact same height as the outside, non-removable juice-well wall? And why give me a deep juice well if I have to struggle to wick a coil this atty is designed to support?! I don't get this design. I really don't want to even build on it! I am sure it will get easier, but now it's just a well-made (and attractive) atty I don't want to mess with. Shame. Could've been nice. Not enough other aspects of this atty are thought-out enough for me to have to endure a build like this. This is basically a simple atty gone wonky.


*Tugv3*

First time building on it.
