Does the pain shoot down your leg, or is it only in the hip? Does the doctor suspect sciatic nerve involvement? I had a herniated disc four years ago. The pain came on suddenly and was the worst pain I have had to suffer through in my life. I just ask about the sciatic nerve because that was my problem - the herniated disc was pressing on the nerve. Unbelievable pain. :(

It's not related to disks in my back or sciatica... the pain shoots into my groin from my hip, and shoots into my femur but stops there somewhere upper femur, with the exception that if I push it too hard physically, then I'm getting numbness in my foot.

What's most miserable I think is the fact it's shooting pain into my groin.

I broke my back years ago,(its held together with a rod and screws, thank God for titanium) and have severe nerve damage in my legs as a result, severe pain (which is constant) in my legs as a result of the nerve damage, as well as constant back pain. (I have CRPS type two if you want to learn about it, as a result of the spinal injury)

With all the pain which is with me to my dying day, the one point of joy was the fact some things (think marital) still felt good... Now, even that hurts...

There is no doubt though that this is related to the hip, most likely onset by using that leg for the last 15 years to support more of my body weight when walking since my left leg has more nerve damage than my right...

Squonk action is actually very good. The bottle blows but does a good job of sucking juice back down.

It's hit is ok. I don't feel it hits as hard as the Purge, or maybe even the dot, but both use 20700s. I'm using a VTC 5a and it does hit well.

I know the light behind the button means something but haven't gotten that far yet.View attachment 720191 View attachment 720193 View attachment 720195 View attachment 720197 View attachment 720199 View attachment 720201
I'm late and catching up, but that looks like the same bottle as the one in the Pico Squeeze. Which would make sense because Eleaf and Wismec are both children of JoyeTech.

Well to be honest, I don't like it.
There's a soft one in the works.
I'm on the fence about the mod. Jumping between the Therion, dot, and it tonight it feels weak. Same build in each so not sure why. Atty is the same as the dot, guess it's the battery. I really am not sure.

And now I'm thinking it's not--the Squeeze bottle is spec'ed at 6.5ml and Luxotic is 7.5ml.

But you've really decided the dot is the best one right?

Therion is still the most dependable and (my opinion) best I own especially with the Pulse bottle in it, followed closely by my dot.
Some have had issues with the dot and it's button, I've not had any issues. The dot hands down has the best bottle. Maybe fits a bit better in my hand.

I dunno, maybe I like the dot a little more than the Therion.
