I have a bad case of shinyitis right now. I want a new mod. I don't really NEED a new mod but you know how that is. I've narrowed my choices down to about 7 or 8. How do I possibly get down to one choice?
Which 7 or 8 are you looking at?
We all love spending others money, and we all research, so throw em up for us...

Is there a reason you need to get down to 1 only?

What's on the table? I look for hand feel first, if it's not comfortable it gets benched to the closet.

Thank you for sharing you thoughts and the info on these. When you say that the deep juice well isn't ideal for squonking how do you mean? Does the design mean that the wicks have to be super long?
Squonking purists like to have the deck of the RDA drain after each squonk. Less chance of leaking if tipped over and a fresh supply of juice with each squonk, nothing sitting around in a well.

The BF pin on the Aeronaut is raised so it will not drain, you could cut it off flush to the deck if so inclined. Also you would be squonking into a deep juice well. The Medusa Reborn RDA also has a deep well, but the squonk pin on it is flush with the deck. That way the juice will spread across the deck to the wicks instead of filling a well.

I don't make the wick tails any longer on the Aeronaut than I do for the Medusa Reborn or Limitless Plus RDTA. I trim them so they hang a little down past the air tube, halfway between the coil and deck bottom.

Many thanks! You never fail to provide good insight

This will be the body.
Absolutely the last mod I'm ordering for a bit.

@Sickbxy , sounds like you are in the throes of detox. Don't stop now! (I am glad this morning was a little better). Like Letitia I dual used a while first, but eventually decided it was "time." I did NOT enjoy the quitting blues, that's for sure, but I didn't want to set myself back again with just that ONE cigarette. Keep up the good work!

Hard to narrow down mods, but we will try to help! JFCooley that stabilized wood is absolutely beautiful and I hope you enjoy it a great deal!

I'm already a Lost Vape fan and too biased to listen to. I just have no experience with Sig mods. I do remember hearing awhile back that they changed manufacturers and qc was now questionable. That may have been corrected by now or not.

The company is based in the DC area. The very first Five Guys was in NOVA and wildly popular. We still love Five Guys and it is our go-to burger place, but it is not up to the original. I guess that is always the way it goes.
I remember going to the first Five Guys when I was at Ft. Belvoir. Right up Hwy 1 from us. The franchises try to recreate the feel of that first joint and they get close but...

Just got an email from Lightning Vapes, Cotton Bacon Prime now in stock. Evidently it wicks 33% faster than the original CB and is ideal for squanking (their spelling). Tried CB v something and wasn't impressed.

I haven't tried CB Prime, have a package of CB V2 in my toolbox, but reach for the Japanese Organic Cotton over the CB every time. Recently bought a package of Native Wicks because I read rave reviews. I am still wicking the JOC and forgetting the Native Wicks are even there. It wasn't better for me.
