Hey shinies, happy Friday! Hope everyone is safe and well <3 Believe it or not, I actually have some recent shiny activity to report.

I was in the process of making a much needed (and much procrastinated upon) cotton purchase when a rogue lost vape Thelema Quest slipped into my cart when I wasn't looking. Of course you can never have too many C frame 200W mods, so I went ahead and pulled the trigger on it. I hadn't researched this one previously, so I was pleasantly surprised to find a dual battery meter and voltage mode on the chip when it arrived. I do love me some voltage mode

It has that great lost vape build quality I've come to expect and feels great in the hand. The chip is pretty strong and accurate, too. It was a steal for 45 bucks IMO, and it's definitely giving my much more expensive DNA250C versions a run for their money. Overall, it's been a pretty dang good week in the vape lair

Set up the vaporesso itank for margarita night. Mixed up a 6mg juice and could probably go down another couple mg. Using the 0.4 coil between 41-42w, af about 3/4 open. Prefer the 1/2 open af but vape was a touch too warm but now I'm actually pretty happy with more af after a couple hours; just can't chain vape due to nic mg. I'm loving the tank and coil; flavor and smoothness of af is lovely and will likely buy a lifetime of coils if they last at least a few weeks. Happy with my purchase so far. Big thanks to @hittman and @bigbob2322 for sharing their thoughts on the itank!

I like mine too. I bought the kit. Running the .2 coil (it actually says it is coming in at .17) at 62 watts. Air flow 1/2 open. Nice tank. Everything opens and closes as it should. Prior to this I was using and loving the Lost Vape Ultra Boost and it is great for flavor. It was dastardly to change to the bubble tank and the a/f ring is dastardly to turn. I bought two of them because I have 12 boxes of coils. Yes 12. I bought them all because I bought 5 Lost Vape Thelema Pod devices.

I have the DNA250C version as well as two of the Quest versions. One was in a kit with some extra covers and a leather sleeve. Honestly for the price difference, the Quest is a great buy unless you just have to have a DNA version.

I tried put a wanted ad in the classifieds, but didn't get a single hit.

I feel this way about the Asmodus MInikin. And I have put "wanted" ads in the classys for it too. No luck

 

[Zazie]

I know. But hey, these days I'll take close enough.

Pushover.

Yes, I got one for review and do like it. I’m still using it in rotation. The only thing that worries me is that I wonder what the life of the pump will be. I thought about getting another one but haven’t yet.

I find the pump mechanism somewhat the weak spot as well. I watched several reviews of the Smoant Battlestar which has a pump similar to the Revenant. At least the Revenant is done discretely without a large gold pump sticking out the top. The squonk “bottle” leaves a bit to be desired especially if you like to thoroughly clean all of the parts.

Asmodus seems to have done the Pumper 18 and 19 with a bit more thought since it’s more of a lever.

I have both the Revenant and Pumpers but imho I’m most comfortable with the action of the Topsides and VV Pulse 2 with the silicone squeeze juice bottles. After a few uses it’s clear how much pressure is needed to get the juice to the rda.

And lastly I prefer the squonk mod mechanisms that actually suck back any ejuice. I tend to over pump so the coils in the the pump type setups can be prone to either flooding or leaking if I’m not paying attention.

Of course all of this is personal choice and what you’re use too.

Better have good locks (and a burglar alarm). @chanelvaps and Joe may be heading north.

They would have to pry it from my cold dead fingers.

Yes the pump squonker takes a little getting used to since it doesn't suck excess fluid back in. I have to admit that I flooded the rda on it once or twice in the beginning. Now as soon as I get the slightest hint of flavor loss then I hold the pump button for a count of seven in my head and it's good to go for a while again. Of course it depends on the depth of the well on the rda you're using.

How's your BXR going?

I'm loving it mate. Lies easy in the hand, and the button placement is perfect for me. Chip fires beautifully (that was my biggest worry). Very DNA like...even in the way it does the settings. Damn good buy this.

I just picked up a Lost Vape Therion BF on the classifieds. Super excited to get it.

Do you have any extras you would be willing to sell TD? I am down to one pink and 2 golds and my daily driver, rotten metal. I can't bring myself to use the gold ones

Major want

Shiny vape gear can be new or used bought from classifieds right?in hope so

I think I just bought a almost like new black Topside 90 watt single battery squonker. I have only done a Wanted To Buy once and had two responses with in two days. Thankfully the new classifieds on Discord are a lot easier to understand than the Reddit set up. That was over my head with all the abbreviations, quotation marks, and a host of other information that needed to be entered in the correct order with the correct abbreviations! If I didn’t have doubts on my cognitive abilities before hand i definitely did after trying to figure out all the rules to posting.

In addition I may be looking at a like new black used Pandemic that I’ve been eyeballing for awhile which would go great on the black Topside .

I don’t believe Reddit allows sales of vape gear anymore so hopefully more people will find their way to both the ECF and Discord classifieds. Soon.

I may be incorrect in all this so please let me know
