I have 3 of the 2.1s and a Detonator. At my wattage, I get 3+ days on a dual battery. And the DB is small for a dual (aka pocket and hand friendly). I have the same waffling going on with the Revenant. I’m too picky about color. I keep hoping one will show up in the classies. I think Efun had them in their US warehouse at a decent price.

Can’t find a Hastur anywhere in the US. Checked all my usual spots after a google. Any ideas, gang?
I wonder, why nobody buys the eleaf Invoke 220? It's as small as the Double barrell. I'll put comparison pictures tomorrow.

I have one. It's a good mod that fits the hand easily. I use it in rotation sometimes, but I tend to get bored using the same mod after a while and switch to another. I guess I'm trying to make them all last as long as possible by not wearing them out :).

This week I've been carrying my old silver istick Pico 75W. It's over two years old and little scratched up, but works fine.

Impatience has gotten the best of me. I found a vape shop in Wisconsin that had the Hastur 24s for $23. Cheaper than China, and hopefully quicker shipping. Plus, they had black, which matches most of my mods. The silver one from FT is still drifting over the ocean. FT has bumped back the ship date on the black for three consecutive weeks, and Cthulhu doesn’t have it on their website shop anymore. It was making me antsy

    Go figure, I leave town yesterday, Hastur was delivered today :(. At least people are home to bring it inside. But still.....:cry:

    Bollocks that sucks :wub:

    .......

    I did find a new mtl/RL RTA today. Was originally looking at the hotcig centaur RTA - which is full DL to mtl when I saw this:

    VWiZQnA.jpg


    24mm Diameter
    13.5mm build deck
    2ml standard capacity
    5ml capacity ( Bubble glass tube ) with chimney extension
    Single coil configuration
    Adjustable airflow control .
    3mm internal airhole
    Direct-to-Coil airflow Effect
    Top Fill (Push-to-Fill )
    510 Drip tip
    Design for MTL / Restricted DTL
    QbXGqbh.jpg

    It's so cute ;)

    At fasttech
    $29.99 Authentic Hotcig Centaur Mini RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 2/4ml / stainless steel + glass / 24mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

    Reviews on the full size centaur raved about the flavour, but said 2ml was too small for the larger builds used on it.

    I'm very tempted ;)

    Well, it looks cute, but:

    Screenshot-from-2018-10-26-12-56-37.png


    1 mm air hole under the coil--that's very restricted MTL. And 2 ml capacity is also a negative.

    Back to Hastur. :D
    It has a 5ml bubble & I think in the vid #1 is showing the coil not the air hole under the coil.

    Yeah, I'm not sure about the size of that air hole under the coil. Hmm... can't find any information about that.

    :blush: :lol:

    Really? 3 mm? That's not MTL, IMHO. :blink:

    Your smidgie doggy is 2.3mm, 2k18 doggy is 2.5mm and I can't tell any difference between them ;)

    But yeah, I've got no idea what a 3mm would be like. The airflow adjuster holes (shown in your pic) go from 1mm to 2.5mm

    Agreed. Makes no sense to me. It's the size of that airflow hole directly under the coil that matters most--at least to me. YMMV, as always. :)

    My turn to be the guinea pig - I'll order one on Monday, unless I find something else in the meantime :lol:

    I am not writing it to discourage you from buying that "cutie" but I think you should also consider EVL... I have it for a two days and although it is not as cute as Centaur... vape quality is MAGNIFICENT... if it will perform like that
    I will buy second one and retire all my doggies and sirens... Fresia is good but finicky for me... EVL wicks like a charm and offer great favor and incredible smooth, quiet, dense draw... so far I love it.

    Oh damnit I didn't need to know that :lol:

    Thank you for the awesome report on the EVL Reaper :wub:. I love the fresia, it's my number 2 after the doggys.

    Does the EVL vape similar to the doggy? I'm big on the sound of an RTA and I just love the grunty sound of the sjmy doggy. I think it's due to the plastic tank.

    What I want is a flavour RTA that is as easy to use as the doggys and has a similar draw.

    I'll check on reviews of the EVL over the weekend - thank you :thumb:

    Can't keep up... Which version of the EVL did you get? The Reaper V3 2.7 or The Reaper V3 MTL?

    BTW, do you have a Hastur? If so, how does it compare?

    No, I do not have Hastur and do not plan to buy it. It is basically Siren 2 with extra AF inserts. I have two Sirens so I do not want "another one":)... Fresia is better than Siren and EVL is for me better than Fresia. IMHO Fresia is better version of Siren and EVL better version of Doggy or better and much simpler version of Dvarw. My opinion should be valid only for those vapers that like loose MTL or RDTL.

    All my opinion about EVL are based on only 2 days of use so they can change if any problems will show up but so far EVL is my favorite tank based on easiness to build, use and quality of vaping...
