What colour?
A while back someone posted a photo of theirs in Silver in the Listing SbS mods thread. I thought the silver color was too light, almost white looking. Maybe their camera wasn't spot-on. IDK

It's got that raw aluminium look that's cool on it's own but like you say maybe too light for SS attys to match

That’s on my next week list. Cheaper than another Dicodes. What color did you get??
Edit: running behind lol. Good to know about the silver. I can’t stand not matching
When I saw the colors I was drawn to black or gunmetal. I don't have many solid black mods, so went with black. Also found a matching black DT there.

Hmmm, I don't have an all black atty to match it. But Leti shared a video of the new black Tripod and now I am interested in one. We'll see, still thinking about it.

Which button did you setup for Fire on your Dicodes SbS? And how do you like it?

The Evolv DNA 60 chip does have boost mode. I use boost mode on my other DNA 60's. It works very nicely.

Mostly for that feature I was going to order the Dicodes SBS as my first side by side. After getting used to the feature on one of their mods I wouldn't want to be without power boost. I think you've changed my mind about what to buy.

I noticed the flavor falling off on my wick yesterday after 1 month and 2 weeks. It was in a Hussar RDA II and on a DNA squonker using TC.

I love it... and clearly I haven’t read the instructions ( HUGE surprise, NOT). I’m using the big fire button????

    Congrats on the bday present. And you are the perfect age to buy a new camera :lol:

    I agree, it's too hard to tell what the silver colour looks like from pics. Most of the promotional shots and store listings show it as a brushed white, rather than a silver eg FT:

    What I hope it actually looks like:

    I'm at the opposite end of the wicking scale, so I'm giggling my head off. I was proud that I lasted a whole week before rewicking my Axials today :lol:

    As you know, I like sweet juices and I'm also slightly ocd and happen to be a compulsive rewicker. My only saving grace, is I'm not a compulsive recoiler - that would drive me even more nuts :w00t:

    I'm a little confused. You're talking about your Dicodes SBS, not your Dovpo, Right? If so, may I ask who you bought it from?

    At least as much as the price I'm put off by the difficulty in where to buy it.

    The legitimate Dicodes source in the US has very bad press here and on the Better Business bureau site. I know I can buy it from dealers in England or Germany but I shouldn't have to go through the hassle of doing my own importation while paying full price. I even wrote an article for a perfectionist magazine many years ago about how we should all buy our expensive toys from near home in order to have adequate service. This is truly part of my belief system.

    Sorry for the rant! Anyway, I'm hoping you'll tell me that you bought yours from an enthusiastic, knowledgeable vape dealer near your home who would be happy to ship one to me.

    Those promo shots threw me for sure. I saw that second photo but it was outnumbered by all the brushed white silver ones. Said skaROO it. When in doubt go with black. :D

    Some interesting mods shown on here recently. So this half cut off style is all the rage nowadays? Dicodes has one and I see a few others by dovpo listed. Wish I could see one in person. Is it easier to hold/use?

    Here's another, meet the Aspire Mixx

    Side by sides have been around for years. However they were specialty items, put out by modders and rather expensive. The past few months have seen a few of the Chinese brand names in collaboration with smaller modders, finally bring them to the masses - at decent prices.

    The advantages are a low profile setup, even with a tall tank. The disadvantages are limited tanks will fit (25mm and below), airflow holes can get blocked by fingers/cages etc and not everyone finds them easy to fire.

    For me personally, holding a Mixx, and middle finger firing feels completely natural.
