It's a #TRVP ;)
I must be googling the wrong thing. I can’t find anything about it :blink:
 
Out for some groceries and came back with a Profile rda along with some nexMESH strips. Still need groceries so will be Uber Eats tonight (my own personally chef!). No idea how the Wotofo mesh strips perform - went straight to the nexMESH and all I can say is holy :censored: ! The flavour off this is amazing! Purposely used one of my sweeter “contaminated coil killer” juices to see how these mesh strips hold up. But at this point, even if they only last a few days, the price of admission is well worth it. Super impressed!

Have to admit I formed a biased opinion about mesh RDA’s – the amount of wick needed, the importance of keeping it packed tight against the mesh…it didn’t seem worth it worth it to me. This RDA did somewhat intrigue me but I was always held back by the reasons mentioned. Thought I’d take a gamble on it - for the price of admission I can be my own judge and not follow the opinions of others. And as it stands right now, I am glad I did. So far only tried 1 juice but the flavour it is giving in comparison to my other rebuildable’s is phenomenal! I’m very impressed. The nexMESh strips read at 0.12 ohms and I’m firing at 60 watts. Going below that I find the flavour (with this juice) starts to drop. No dry burns and the flavour is nice, moist and warm…..just how I like it! But it guzzles juice….so if you’re the conservative type it may not be the best option.

I opted to use it as a dripper first so no comment on how it squonks.

Well my Recurve got lost. Supposedly delivered on Saturday, but no, not to be found. Have the post office a chance to try and locate it, no luck as of the end of today. Contacted Eightvape just in case there was anything on their end that might help, but alas, no (not surprising as once they mail it it's not their responsibility). Their only suggestion was contact the post office. Sorta useless as I already knew to and did that, but unless it materializes out of thin air I'll have to reorder it. For that size order there was no insurance so that's that. Could have been
worse.

I did find a Digiflavor Aura on sale at My Vpro for $15, and with their flat $1 first class shipping (with a tracking number no less) I have that heading my way. I never ordered from them before so it's a nice little order to see what they're like. For only $1 to ship, and from MI, not Shanzen, it seems more than reasonable to me, and I got the tracking number with actual acceptance by USPS the day after placing the order, which is none too shabby. If all goes well I'll add them to my vendor list (not really sure why I never used them before, but for $15 I can roll the dice).

At this point I'll wait until Friday to order another Recurve. Maybe I'll find a better sale.

That sucks. Can your credit card cover it?

    I'm impressed how well you handled this :thumb:

    I probably would've thrown all my toys out of the cot and then had a tantrum or two ;)

    Thought about the profile myself.
    Heard alot of folks say it is flavorful but a really cool vape. I prefer a warm to almost hot (on occasion lol).
    Does it seem cool to you?

    Nah. Can't really do a charge back when USPS has it down as delivered. No way to out the liability on the vendor if USPS screwed up. It's not like they failed to ship it, or got the shipping address wrong. All that was in order. So it's just some portal worker vaping on my rda. I hope all they get is dry hit after dry hit.

    For the price of a phone call to your CC company it may be worth a try. You never know until you ask. Just a thought.

    Not cool at all. Warm vape at 60 watts. But that is with the nexMESH strip not the default Wotofo that comes with the RDA. Haven’t tried them yet. Tried it at 95 watts – it’s hotter but doesn’t scale like a regular coil which I know I wouldn’t be able to handle at that power. Can’t speak on the longevity of the mesh at 90+ watts – it is rated 60 to 70 watts
