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.
Then again for me to be able to be that focused on a box it means that the device has to be flawless LOL I feel a tad silly now. Like literally the only flaw that I can think of to this product so far is the Box :)

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.

I don’t have any problem with the way they’re packaged. They put the money in the mod, and not the presentation as I prefer.

I have a couple mods that came in nicer cardboard with fancy felt lining and magnetic snap closures, a couple that came in really cool little wooden crates. How much did they add to the price of the mod, I don’t want to speculate. But those were $200+ mods. And I don’t mind that, either, because it’s nice to have a sturdy box to store those pricey mods in. Mods that are going to be in constant rotation really don’t need such a box though.

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.

25?

it doesn't ever seem to get light. I realise it's winter and it happens every year but it feels particularly gloomy currently. stormy too. took another days holiday from work so it'll be a 2 day week.
had the pyro v3 for a wee while but have only just started using it. on the topside dual. decent airflow adjustment which is required as it's too airy full open for me. the vinci twins look on from the eaves. very good vape.

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 have two, both rba. If you haven’t pulled the trigger get it at Vapor Range. With rba was about $30 on the NY sale

I mean I don't mind if it's a cardboard box like the Luna.. I consider that a high quality box as it offers some protection for the product within especially considering it's primarily an online retailer. If I were to drop that box from 2 feet in the air I think that it would protect the mod. I'm not talking about wanting my mod to come in fine china. The quality and design of the product is foremost of course however it doesn't matter how good the product is if the packaging you place it in is so weak that it breaks on the way to the consumer and the product is damaged fortunately that did not happen and it's in perfect condition. But packaging does serve a purpose. And I prefer my vape packaging to be strong enough to support the weight of another box mod on top of it.

Awesome to know. So far I’m getting a huge kick out of mine. Being forced to buy green because of the sale turned out to be a fun change of pace as I usually go for peel-proof stainless steel.

@Daniel Forsyth Your gold Brunhilde is giving me feelings. Laugh if you will but it reminded me of when Aragorn received his crown at the end of ROTK (if that spoiled it for anyone, you’re about 20 years too late LOL)

Mornin everyone. I have a bunch of stuff in tracking limbo. Honestly I don’t know exactly what all is out there :blush: Some from FT, some from Vaporl, some from...from...um...I forget ;) I’ve tried to utilize 17TRACK but sadly, I am just not organized at the moment. Have a Topside Lite somewhere out there since 12/19, three FT orders, Brunhilde #2 (just a plain SS, not anything like the bling Mr. Forsyth has), and now my Topside Dual White Carbon. I’m hoping at least one or two of these will be in our mailbox Monday when we return home. :)

Hope all y’all are well today :)

ETA sheesh, forgot about the FUSH (and chups) already :lol: That’s coming, too.

How you like it? Looking at it for a salt rig.
Quite a bit!!! Enough to order a second one after a week. Same build material feel as the DB, tiny but very solid and weighty (not heavy though). I don’t have the drop in, or disposable pods (on the way from China) so can’t speak to those yet... but, rba tank is glass (replaceable!!!) and af is looser mtl on up. Not a cloud maker, but nice amount of air for a pod. Supplied coil is good (don’t think it’s ss, so you’ll probably want to change it). One ohmed out at .5, the other just shy of .6 (it does come with a 510 adapter to use for coil building). I got dry hits wicking with the supplied cotton, but it flies with rayon... a surprise as the wick holes are teeny. Fill port is big enough not to get bubbles, so quick and easy (I tilt to the side until it gets past the deck to avoid air pockets). I generally hate a built in dt, but this one is round, 510 shape, but a bit more open bore. At 1300 mAh, it’s not an all day device, but enough for several hours out and about. All in all, a solid little device :)

Awesome! Thanks:) I gotta go make some money and checkout the one in the cart. Spent quite a bit already on flavors and Unicorns.

My Armor Pro finally made it through Chicago ISC last week after a really long trip from Shenzen. Should have got to me in Indianapolis yesterday but today it was accepted in Kansas City. USPS service is good here, except for stuff coming from Chicago ISC. Something goes haywire up there. Stuff often takes detours and tracking gets patchy. It's on its way though.
