PWM you say? Do tell. :drool:
I can't remember what chip is in it, he had some issues with the first chip he tried. I have to say I'm pretty excited to get it in hand. The wood is Applewood and beautiful. The other one he made is more striking than the one I chose. Had to go with hand feel though.

I really like my Topside. It does have a few drawbacks. The biggest one is the exposed portion of the squonk bottle is so open it's almost impossible to carry in a pocket without accidently squonking. All my others are more recessed with less exposed making that a nonissue. The other is being a big bottle and so easy to press over squonking can occur easier than others. But it does suck back any extra well and unless you're using something that easily leaks with too much juice you adjust quickly. Otherwise I think it's a hands down winner. And I do love not only the top fill but the whole sled system to swap bottles. It's the reason I'm still waiting on the premium dual Topside specs to come out before picking it or the Drone. Ftom a pure squonk perspective the Topside wins but I do like a dna board. I'm hoping the Yihi they select isn't one of the cheap crippled ones. I know a better chip will push the price up, but I'd rather that than compromise. I'd like one squonk that does TC right.

That said, I'm having great fun with my mech squonks. The simplicity, the ease of care are all big pluses. And as I like those little 22 mm RDAs that end up with ~0.3-5 ohm single coil builds do just fine on them with a single 18650 (or 21700 on that Pulse BF I have to shave down a bit to fit). Three or four regulated squonks are nice to have, but I'll likely stop right there and go with mech squonks and more attys for variety. I still like my RTAs on my dna mods so realistically I'll just end up with even more stuff in the stash that will sit unused.

Then again, I've really been getting a kick out of my EQ pods for heading out and even the CF mini with a Zenith and a 0.5 ohm plexus coil. Go figure.

Wifey is away on business again tonight. I've seen her two days in the last 3 weeks. I am sitting here on the couch watching the NCAA championship with my buddy Kai.

I hope they fixed the door issues on the Drone. The only reason I didn't pick one up is because of my experience owning the Triade and it's shaky door.

Like you, I love the DNA boards, I have a realeaux DNA 200 regular and limited edition, Triade 300 watt, and JAC Vapor DNA 75. All of my DNA mods have been used and abused and still show no signs of stopping.

Kai is quite the looker. I do miss having a large dog but these days they need more exercise than I'm willingto provide.

He'll be 7 this August and still acts like a big puppy. He is my daughter's ultimate protector.

The last house we lived in he bolted right through the glass of our sliding glass doors because a bird landed on the wire above my daughter playing in the backyard. He watches her like a hawk when she's out front shooting hoops and sleeps at the foot of her bed every night. He won't eat when she's gone either, which can be a problem when she goes away for soccer camp.

    I got the most awesome vapemail today :wub::wub::wub:

    I won an Innokin EQs custom printed pod contest over Valentines day. I created a pic, stuck my motto onto that and sent the resulting image to @Innokin_Paul and this is the result:

    eqs2.jpg

    It came out absolutely stunning - I love it :wub::wub::wub:

    Thank you Innokin and @Innokin_Paul :thumb:

    That's awesome!

    I like that custom printing, and I think @Innokin_Paul said something about it being something they were planning on offering anyone? Im not certain, but if so that would be cool..

    you'll have to tell us how you like using it once you have the opportunity.

    I've had my drone for 3 days and i'm loving it....it's a really well built device. The door issue where it can pop at the bottom is still present but for me it's not an issue really...i do think that the aperture for squonking is a little small for my big thumbs and that's part of the issue.

    It's my first DNA chip and i'm absolutely loving it....TC on SS316 seems to work like a dream :)
