Will do....my biggest concern will be the 510. My S body legend is my other 26650 mod also dna 75 and it developed some wobbling on the 510 connection after some use. It's probably an easy fix I just haven't got around to it yet The legend build quality is very good otherwise and was in the same ball park money wise....hence the comparison.

I wish there were more 26650 mods out there. It's such a good battery and really doesn't make things much bigger......anyway, looking forward to trying this one out

fogstar are doing a rather decent 26650 now

Anyone have any experience with the Squid Squad? I have one in the cart with an RBA add on and was looking for input before I decide

I’m glad you like the Lustro - it was a “blind buy” as @AvaOrchid posted the sale for them on the Asmodus site and I couldn’t resist the low price, so I got two.

I have no idea really about the quality of these mods, but I haven’t heard anything negative about Asmodus in general and again, the price was right.

I have somewhere around 25 AsMODus mods. If there were any deal breaking issues, I’d let you know. All gear has pros and cons, but I’ve had really good luck with the brand.

Good morning shiners! A little bit of a busy day today, but nothing awful. That should be later in the week.

 

[Pigs]

The shiny is strong in this one.

Something @sonicbomb would say?

My Fuchai came yesterday and surprisingly enough so did my lustro even though no one scanned it from California all the way to my local post office. Because it had never gotten scanned I asked asmodus to look into it and they decided to send me another one. Well it hasn't shipped yet though it does have a tracking number so I hope I got them in time that they can cancel that but otherwise I guess I'll have to ship it back I mean Return to Sender is no biggie.

The no touch control on the lustro is really cool. I saw a video where a reviewer seem to be having a really hard time using it and mine maybe it's an updated version seems to be really smooth. Totally worth the $21 and change I paid for it with a discount code.

The fushai is amazing. I don't remember who it was that gave me the everzon link for a $7 reg squonk but I'd like to thank you whoever you are that was a great recommendation and I love it. In fact I wish I had gotten a couple of them even though I am gun-shy about sigelei because every sigelei I've had which is only two has gone bad with in 31 days. However this thing does not feel cheap like I thought it would and it's great the only problem I have is the bottle is proprietary simply because it has this little flat area. I'm pretty sure I can jam something in there though if this bottle goes bad.

Sigeleis Manufacturer Warranty!

Well I had my replacement for my last sigelei product that went bad also go bad this time instead of after 30 days within the store warranty...31 days. So it was outside the warranty. I said what the heck and I just sent off a notice to the company who then referred me to the United States based warranty center.

They emailed me and asked me to send my product back which I did have to pay for shipping. They're going to cover the cost of shipping it back to me. I've got to say I've had an excellent experience with the sigelei warranty center. There has been absolutely no hassle. They got the defective device back on the 2nd I had a tracking number through informed delivery on the 3rd and it is now in Anaheim California headed my way. Now they did not communicate with me that they had received the defective item or that they had shipped the new item but that's minor compared to the fact that they have done those things.

It hasn't gotten to me yet it's still in California however if you have a defective sigelei product that is within its 90 day warranty I would highly recommend shooting the company off an email. In fact dealing with the manufacturer warranty has been so much easier and less stressful then dealing with the online retailer I originally purchased the first sigelei from.

I'm sure others have had bad experiences and I had heard some nightmare scenarios but I'm incredibly impressed with their service albeit I don't have the mod yet but the United States Postal Service does so from here on it's on them

I received my purple lustro today and I think you'll enjoy yours. I saw some reviews where the reviewer was having an awful lot of difficulty with the touchless screen but mine is smooth as silk. You can also turn that off. There's also a update where you can get rid of the speedometer looking screen but I rather like it. If you're a fan of LEDs this has them if you're not a fan you can turn them off which is a big deal in my book. There's something just really cool about this infrared stuff and it's shocking how cheap we got these products at.

My only complaint so far is something that most people probably don't care about but it's something that I really dwell on and that's the box it comes in. It's cardboard and it's not like a high-quality cardboard. I don't care for that I know a lot of my boxes are cardboard however this one is particularly flimsy I would expect like a My Pretty Pony to come in a package like this not an electronic device. Perhaps it's just such a bomb-proof mod that they don't feel the need to provide better packaging or perhaps this is their sale packaging and why they can bring it to us at such low prices.

My Minikin 2s came in boxes that looked like toy packaging from the 80s lol. Had my brown one almost 2 years though.

@NolaMel has one.

Truth is, I'd rather see the money go into the product than the package. So long as it's sufficient to protect the device, I'm good with it. The Lunas I got came in pretty plain packaging , but that was fine as I wanted what was inside them.

I'll admit on a more expensive mod a nicely designed presentation is pleasing to see (the Triade triangle box and the Armageddon Pelican style box come to mind), but I'm not too bummed if it's not. Look at higher end attys, they typically come in very plain packaging. But those manufacturers are doing small runs on their products, and don't have the economies of scale to invest in specialty printed boxes (which aren't cheap, unless you're buying them in bulk).

Good morning Shiny's
May have an inferno in the mail today, little afraid of that one.
On another note George may not last the day. This must be what it's like living with a toddler going through the terrible twos stage.

Well if it had come in a box like the Luna I'd have been thrilled I find that to be a nice box. The box that the lustro came in would provide zero protection in a fall. It's about the same thickness as 3 sheets of printer paper and very wobbly. It's also peeling apart. I like to store my mods in their box but this box honestly it seems to me like it's been used or maybe it got wet. The Luna had sides that would stand up on their own and you could put a little bit of pressure on them. Like if I were to stack my mods up in my cabinet the Luna could be underneath another mod box and the box would not bend or cave. The Box the Lustro came in absolutely could not support the weight of another mod. I mean I'm not expecting it to come in a wooden box but I do like it when the Box provides at least some protection.

I feel like I should add that in no way shape or form should this discourage anyone from purchasing this the product came spotless not a dent ding scratch nothing it's in pristine condition and is solid as a brick!

OK, that cheap I would agree is a little too much. Yes, it should protect the mod so you can store it (and not get squished by USPS). I keep all my boxes and use them for storage when rotating through, but if I got something that flimsy, I'd be upset too.
