Man my new Xtar charger does not like it if you leave the batteries in there too long. It does this wild and flashing thing with the display with the speed and fervor of a woman in labor with twins screaming "GET THEM OUT OF ME," LOL.

It was startling enough that I was like, "Hmm not a good idea to charge after 9 p.m. I will forget to remove the batteries is a sure bet."

I mean, I assume it was using all it's energy doing THAT not continuing to charge the batteries, but it was an impressive display to wander out of the kitchen coffee in hand to wake up to.

It's side fire. That's the button.
I have wanted this one for a while. Dominus 24.
I like the brass one but they come in all the metal options. They have different engravings too.

Apart from the design, which may be personal taste, a plastic switch on a purge price point isn't acceptable to me.
It'll also get absolutely slammed to bits in no time, guaranteed. What were they thinking?

If I'm not mistaken they say it ultem.
Does that make it better lol.

If they launch the brizo in black, and black stacked I'd buy that on the spot...

Umh... no. I'm guessing that thing is gonna be $300-$350 and they got a thin protruding piece of out of place looking plastic sticking on there? With metal screws? Come on...
If your goal is to be in the high end vape heaven then don't give me a perfectly cooked fillet steak with a side of soggy potatoes on the side, topped with mcdonalds ketchup - you'll loose your Michelin star instantly.
They got to get their head in the game or seriously adjust their prices.

It's Ultem, or polyetherimide. It's not going to break. The translucent amber color of Ultem is quite polarizing, though. You either like it or you don't. I like it.

For example -

I have a squonker made entirely of Ultem aside from the 510 and contacts. It's very strong and can withstand high heat.

That sounds like a bet :D
A stacked 21700 metal tube will have some gravity built into it, if it falls in unfortunate circumstances and lands on the switch I wouldn't be that optimistic :p
I know how strong ultem is (I have some non-vape stuff made of it) but I also know it can break. It most certainly is the weakest point on the mech, the metal screws also don't help. Just saying for that money they can deliver better.

Ugh my morning consumed with like answering know-nothing emails from HR people (I hate the way they do that and then you have to like all carefully and happily respond AS IF it's all fine your question has not been answered merrily bolstered with good cheer) that plus getting on my doctor's office because STILL they have yet to respond/fix. I really just wanted to do yoga, dang it.

I am afraid I used a mortal insult, "This is a LOW level of care that I'm not accustomed to," at my doc. It happens to be TRUE, LIKE A LOT BUT man, I'm really edgy (mostly due to his epic FAIL to do this thing doctors normally do, CALL in scripts. Next time I see him I'm getting 1 month and 3 months scripts for everything, 2 copies of EACH with 3 refills. Gonna chill here momentarily and wait for an email answer, then I'm getting ready and LEAVING.

Grr.

If it breaks, it's warranted and can be replaced easily. It's made of Ultem partly to eliminate any chance of a hot button. I've never heard of a Slam Piece button breaking but if I do, I'll be sure to keep you in the loop :thumbs:

@K Ananthakrishnan is looking for his first rda (not a squonk) and I'm not much help in that department. Any ideas? He has done a few builds in an Ammit and Intake.

Come on over Ananth, no need to be shy. Be warned we tease mercilessly with love.:D

Well no good deed goes unpunished, I thought that newegg combo package was just a build then add an OS...
The included Ryzen CPU doesn't have any video capability to it. :glare:

So a GT1030 video card is ordered for it, and a GTX1050 for myself. :D

Here a shiny to keep the thread "legit"... :pervy:

Nauti AIO, looks like a great bit o kit!

@Letitia
Thanks for the neat little introduction!
I think I have enough tanks and RTAs (contentment has set in as far as those departments go!!!). So to round off my experience I just want to try out one rda, only :D
Given that this forum is filled with experts, I would like for you people to recommend something that gets the best of both the worlds in terms of flavour and vapor, please do fire away!
Btw, as an added intro, this forum has single handedly helped me acquire my first set of vaping gear (mods, tanks and what not) and hence been instrumental in my abstinence from ciggies for almost a month now! Much gratitude :)

You could start with a cheaper single coil RDA like the Wasp nano, the Recurve or the Gorge RDA, saves you building a 2nd coil and they're preeetty good flavor wise. The best way to use them is with a squonk mod though...
