Can the servicing be done by the owner? And I'm undecided as to which one I want...everyone knows what that means lol...I'll have to get more than one damn it. I know I want a smallish bottom feeder so I'll probably start with the Cruiser. And originally the Cutlass dna interested me but I don't like the idea of limiting myself to 12 watts, and the VV is dual mode right so maybe that would be a better choice. I've been told that a bottom feeder with the ERA is a fantastic vape so I'm thinking of trying that combo.

All opinions/suggestions are appreciated.

I am using my Cutlass with an A7 and it is a great vape. I use the same wick as I use in my Ody/Penelope. I believe the newer versions are more user friendly for maintenance but honestly my soldering/glueing skills are kinda lacking so when my button on my 5.1 went wonky I sent it back to Cappy and had him repair it at a very reasonable rate. He also repaired some drop breaks on my mom's and it looked good as new when it came back.
As for the DNA vs VW debate I kinda agree with you. I have 2 main juices I use. My Caramel Waffle tastes like crap over 12 watts so the DNA would be fine for it. However my Monster Energy can handle higher watts so a little more wiggle room would be nice. Also the display on the Cutlass is very accurate and it is kinda nice knowing what voltages I am running. But then again I am the kind of person that calculates my MPG every time I fill up so I like having all the info I can get. I also have a mental barrier with the DNA because of my Kick. I can't get a 18650 to work with my kick longer then about 4 hours and even my oldest pair of 18350s (bought when I bought my RSM 1.5 years ago) still gets 8-12 hours depending on my settings. And my new aw's last around 12 every time (I typically change them out then regardless of battery charge for convienence) Now I have heard that the DNA is more economical with batteries.

All that said if I had the money to buy my personal preferance is as follows
If I was buying 1 it would be Cutlass VV (tried and true for me)
If I was buying 2 Cutlass VV and Destroyer VV (to be used with larger rebuildables)
if I was buying 3 Cutlass VV Destroyer VV and Cutlass DNA

No Cruiser love? What size battery does that take btw?
I'm going to have to start with one and my first priority is to have a small pocketable bottom feeder so I was hoping the Cruiser would fall in that category. Cutlass VV will ne next. And the 5.1 looks pretty cool too lol. Anyone have too many?
Thanks fright

Cruiser II takes an 18650 battery. I imagine you could stack 18350's 16340 ect. Brochure can be found here

If money were no option I would love to own at least one of all of them. But since I don't tend to stealth vape often I don't think it would be used for me as much as my VV RSM's or GG's. Either way you go I don't think you can go wrong. Cappy mods are great!!

Ahoy all!

Hope you all had a fine piratey day?

Hello all, week end here :)
All these pics are nice but what about current batch, Cappy please, nobody will change his mind because of the pic when wood is not finished :D

This is the current batch. I just put on the first coat of sealer/finish so I don't mind if people see them now. I am still waiting on word on some parts I ordered from Evolve and Digi-key. There may be a parts delay on this batch, but I will just keep adding coats of finish until the part arrive :D

Click on thumbnail for large picture. I did not resize it so you can zoom in for finer detail. Arrr
