Delores I was looking at your beautiful hibiscus and noticed the leaves - They are completely different in shape and texture to the ones around here. I've got a red one that hasn't flowered since April 2020 (my brother accidentally gave it a boy prune and it's yet to recover...) I dug around and found a photo. Check out the broad, tear-drop shaped leaves:

This is my oddball with the weird leaves. The other two look like yours. One is a giant, the other just a Hardy. The giant is as tall as me - that’s not saying much as people go, but it’s a right tall flower lol

    Do you know anything about the Hadaly or the Citadel rdas? Someone else recommended those and I saw FT has clones for a decent price.

    I've only heard good things about those two. A while ago I went through an RDAathon at FT, and those two were on my list. But about 10 or so RDAs into it, I tried a NarCa rda - and loved it so much I just got multiples and put the rest on the back burner.

    Until this thread went Axial rda crazy - which I ignored for a few months, happy in NarCaLand. I eventually caved, ordered one. Loved that one so much, that one became four. And my NarCas are currently grumpy, sitting on the reserves bench.

    @Fredman1 I'm absolutely loving the UB Pro rba :wub:

    I'd planned to use it instead of a drop-in coil in the Ursa. I rewicked yesterday and changed flavours, and it's even better with caramel VBIC. It's now firmly entrenched with the Dvarws and JK Mini.

    I just wish Lost Vape would bring out an RTA with this deck.

    From: Lost Vape URSA multi kit Review

    I've seen that the LV UB Pro pod tank from the :Grus v2 kit is sold separately, and the rba of course fits in that. But I'd love an RTA, or at the very least a glass subohm tank that can use the rba.

    Me to Ange. I love everything about it..the deck..airflow..throat hit..flavor. What i've also noticed is the cotton lasts longer...it must have to do with well designed airflow. Yeah this thing is a absolute winner in my book :wub:
    My only gripe is the mod is a bit hefty...but it is what it is. What I would like however, is the same RBA on the Ursa mini :thumbs:

    I think I’m going to go ahead and order the hadaly and the citadel. They are pretty cheap and I have $12 in rewards. If I don’t like them then I’m not out much.
    If you get a Hadaly, you might as well get it's brother...the Entheon. Both are very good RDAs

    I found the answer I think. If I’m reading correctly, rose of sharon/althea is a cousin of the Chinese (common) hibiscus. I had no idea they were related. Althea and hibiscus (tropical) are both common foundation plants here.
    Althea…

    and a neat link discussing them. Differences Between The Rose Of Sharon And Hibuscus - Knowledgebase Question - Garden.org
    Althea here get @10-12’. More than double my meager height lol.

    You’re an excellent passive enabler lol. Jackaroo #2 should arrive tomorrow along with a desperately needed box of coils. I ordered #3 tonight. I’m beyond ready for a fresh coil. I guess I could have tried the 0.3 until they come, but I don’t think it’s up my alley af wise.

    Ha Ha...this Jackaroo is a no brainer for me. I also need more. I'll collect them as I go.

    Wow, hello everyone, Im Ali xx from Aus. I was just reading some of your comments and I have so much to learn, its a little scary. I think I have come to the right place though. The shinyitis has caught me very quickly. So how is it that you guys support each other with your shinyitis?.. does that need a capital S on there?

    Just now in the back yard. No idea what these flowers are. The little white ones are on a 6 m high tree that drops branches - often. I think it's an Aus native rainforest tree but not sure.
    The pink ones I reckon one of you gardeners will recognise.

    Yes. They started flowering weeks earlier than normal this year. That tree is almost finished already - bit strange, but what isn't these days.
    I guess September would be more normal for early Spring in Sydney. Yes it's a shame that magnolias don't last longer. Most blossom is so short lived but I suppose all the better for it.
    Hope all is well T :)

    Thanks! I did look for a recurve but didn't have much luck finding one. I'll take a look at the others.
    If you can find one the Haku Venna, Narda or Narca are excellent.....and the Gas mods G1 is pretty good too :)

    Good morning shinies :wub:

    @Pigs Still on the fence about the Delro but looking forward to seeing your new panels.
    Any problems with the battery yet or differences to report??

    Have a good one everyone :wub:
    Charlie hello!
    The battery in my delro has settled down - something that @ShamrockPat told me might happen. It's in my hand all day and charges pretty fast when it needs it.
    The finish of the blue aluminium has held up really well. Still loving the little mod. I mentioned in a post a while back that it feels a bit slippery and easy to drop. That still holds true but no big deal.
    If you're on the fence, knowing you I'm confident a DNA blue version would be right up your alley. :thumb:
