On the shiny front now not to shiny front and unexpected too, my car's gear box will be a goner soon I need to start looking for a bigger shiny non vape related take you from A to B thing

Get a NutSac. Mag-Satch 11 | Satchel for Men
I have one and it's perfect for all my gear and stuff. If you read the reviews there are many women who bought and love them. Plus a NutSac is perfect for the Pico Squeeze 2 (lol , couldn't help myself).

Mine...

It holds many mods and still room for much more.

How much vape gear do you feel the need to take with you every day? Because that seems like a lot from the picture.

And the flavor is excellent.

Better than the Dvarw?

*sigh*

My August 6th expedited order from FT hasn't updated in 12 days. Last and only update by DHL--August 6. So much for German efficiency.

My second order, USPS epacket, shipped 4 days ago, just left Shenzhen and tracking is alive and well.

If it helps my DHL shipment is still sitting in Hong Kong since the 14th.

@NolaMel, I don't remember if you ever found a tube mech with a side fire button. Fluid Vaper has the Golden Greek Esterigon on sale for $99 (reg $186). The fire button is on the side near the top.

All the spares too (near bottom of page). Golden Greek by Imeo | Made in Greece | Pro Shop

Thank you. A couple of our mech gurus guided me to a clone, then I found an original at that big mech clearance sale last year. I’m blanking on the name, came with the complicated tank. I doubt those or my bottom switch ones will ever see use as long as the asmodus holds up. The button has a nice throw to it. The Dreamer and Saint are a little stiff for me.

That photo was for Fidola13 100's of pages ago. She wanted an idea of its size and to know how much stuff it could hold. I usually always carry a Pico 75w with an RTA and a squonker when I'm out and about.

When I head up north for training with Dog I carry much more as I'm up there for up to a week sometimes.

I wouldn't say it's better or worse. Every RTA brings out something different in my juices. They all vape a little differently.

IMO the Tripod is one of the most versatile RTA's out there. I MTL, RDL and occasionally DL with it. All with changing the AFC and mod wattage. Same build too. You can't do that with a Dvarw without changing the AF inserts. Dvarw's are intended to be a set it and forget type of RTA.

I had heard of them before, but never knew all that much about them. I think I will stick to the Dvarw. I like "set it and forget it".

@Ange or anybody who knows more about the FT Dvarws than I do:

This is the Dvarw with all the inserts that shipped 13 days ago expedited and is MIA.

$21.31 Dvarw MTL FL Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 2/3.5/5ml(22*19mm (OD*ID)) / w/ 10*air inserts / stainless steel + glass / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping

Does this look like the same/similar deal but without the inserts?

$14.83 Dvarw MTL FL Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 2/3.5/5ml (22*19mm (OD*ID)) / stainless steel + glass / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping

I need to place my final order (DHL all the way this time) and I don't mind ordering a second MTL FL, just don't need 22 inserts--in case the missing package shows up. And if it doesn't, I can always get more inserts later--those should clear customs without any problems. I'm not worried about ordering all kinds of bits and bobs and drips tips and replacement parts in the future, but I do worry about mods and tanks getting through.

Definitely. These are showing as in stock, but one is black and the other is only a 2ml or a 5ml:

Black

I grabbed this one today. I thought about the black with the 3 extra tanks, but black seems like a strange color for the Dvarw.

 

[AngeNZ]

Another unfinished business. I still want one. Silver finish, say you? Or a Tux?

If you have black attys then go for the Tux, if you have silver attys go for this gorgeous number:

 

[NolaMel]

Vapor Giant?

Ding ding ding!!!! We have a winner

Thank you for being my “brain”. I could remember it’s made in Germany or Austria??? Just not what it was. To be fair, I tested mod and tank and stashed them. The tank is quite fiddly, as lots of early ones were.

 

[AngeNZ]

Finally got to watch the video. Thanks for posting it, Ange!

@Fstop --please watch it, too, if you are getting a Dvarw.



I want to spend an afternoon in that room with @Robfisher --it's like Disneyland and a candy store for vapers.

I'm extremely grateful @Robfisher made the Exocet wick video - it made my first wick in the Dvarw effortless

When I rewicked I tried the more tradional method:
Dvarw RTA DL from KHW Mods in Hungary

Both methods resulted in no dry hits and no leaking, just rich dense vapour

I am a newbie at wicking and still pretty bad at it. However, I have rewicked my Dvarw 3 times with no issue. It seems like a pretty forgiving RTA. No dry hits and really good flavor.

I haven't seen SMT's reply yet, so I'll chime in with mine

Flavour:
Until I got the Dvarw, the Tripod RTA was definitely my best flavour RTA. Flavourwise, the Dvarw equals it in every way. They both smother you with flavour

Ease of everyday use: The Dvarw sneaks ahead here. Purely due to it being bottom fill, so there's no JFC. And you don't have to line up arrows to remove the deck. The 6ml capacity of the Dvarw beats the Tripod's 2ml (3.5ml with the extension)

Building: Both are pretty similar here, easy to stick in a coil and easy to wick.

Airflow: Tripod can range from a gnat's butthole (0.8mm id MTL insert) to loose MTL (1.8mm id). Take out the inserts, and it can go from very airy MTL through to RDL. Which can all be dialled down further with the airflow control ring.

Dvarw:
Inserts are your only option. Huge range of them for the MTL version, and for the DL version (including FL) you can go from an airy MTL (2.5mm id through to a 4.5mm id very airy RDL

Thanks for your point of view on both options. I believe that the Dvarw fits my vaping style more. Flavor, ease of use, and no real complications.

Btw, is it scientifically proven that a gnat's butthole is 0.8mm? If so, how did the scientist get the gnat to sit still long enough to measure?

Agree 100%. Everything about it, just works really well. It's very similar to the Doggy RTA in that regard, except the Dvarw has better flavour - it's a brilliant new builder atty

I have 3 of the 2016 Doggies, but haven't even opened them up yet. I'm sure they are good though from what many have said. I just ordered another Dvarw to add to the other 2 I ordered today. Plus the 2 that I ordered earlier this week. That should give a pretty good idea of how much I like the one I currently have.

Criminy, how often do you rewick? Didn't you just get that thing?
