So the RAM arrived. Nice little squonk. The fire button locks (same spin the fire button to lock and unlock) and came with three bottles. First time I ever got that. Then again they're not silicone so I'll probably replace them but it's the thought that counts. The resin is not a shiny one, matte with a solid grip surface. I wonder if I can polish it? I still have all those micro mesh pads from the Luna. Stuck a Recurve on top for the moment.

You can polish that for sure. Start around 220 grit and take it up from there.

The initial Miami Vice-esque colors aren't really my jam, but this thing is pretty badass with the solid silver hardware, improved switch and hybrid Ardent connection. There's a black version in the works, too. After some deep contemplation, I decided that I wasn't all that keen on the Keen but this thing looks like a winner. Always wanted to check out the Ardent, too.

Want.

If my memory is somehow still functional, didn't you(or someone did) polish up some resin to a nice gloss, but then covered it in a lacquer or something? Does it work to just polish it up without some sort of clear coat?

Somewhere in my crossed brain wires I recall something about Krazy Glue used for that. Not something I'd want to venture into as I have zero intention of having a squonk stuck to my hand until the grave, but something a far less capable person could use with a little bit more personal safety?

Good morning Shiny's
Still debating with myself over the famas mods.

Little late here, but just buy it.



Now.


No, don't hit "reply", go and buy it.


Stop it. You know you want it.


Buy it.


Don't you feel better now?

Mine came too. They have a weird velvety feel that I kind of like. Three bottles, like you said, but only the one has a tube.

The Crea locks. I didn’t notice that the Rams did as well ( you know, I read the descriptions but I forget five minutes later) so thanks for saying, Eskie.

The finish on that Bunker is crap. Really splotchy and uneven. Not very Rose, for being rose gold. I’m just going to live with it. It’ll vape fine, even though a bit ugly.

I've come to really like the Crea. It's simple, great hand feel with the rubberized surface, and hits really well. I also like the size, and the corners aren't sharp. It feels like the perfect beater squonk to me. Only limitation over day the Pulse BF is 18650 only, but this looks and feels way better than the Pulse to me.

The RAM won't enter rotation for a while. I have too many going right now and not enough different juices to justify it. Obviously it means more juice shopping.

Just going to try them out with a dripper/ no squonk pin for now to make sure they work before I stash them. Although I may keep the Crea out. We shall see.

I could think of worse fates than a squonk in hand til the grave...

Doesn't the rune use pancake coils? And why are you limited to those?

Of the 4 I would buy the Phobia, deck looks mostly like what I used to prefer.
Of course, you could just purchase all 4...

It’s what they have at my local shop right now. I don’t think the rune uses pancake coils.

Yeah, of the 4, I like the phobia the best. But I’m just getting into rda’s. Looks like it would be easy enough to build.

I'd offer up more, but every RDA I have are bottom feeders. My favorite still is the B2K, seconded by the Hadley clone. Recurve was good, Drop, Dead Rabbit and it's single coil sibling whose name I'm completely forgetting and am too lazy to look up.

I'm sure there were others. Still cherish my Darth Vader Dead Rabbit even though I don't use it.

Still remember when you found the DV rda, you were so excited!
Tried to order the famas' but pp gave me the no token found treatment.

Nah. I'll still get them, just not today. Size, weight, and shape are near perfect.

How do you like to vape? Single and dual coil rdas can really behave differently, and what your looking to accomplish means a lot in selection? Any reason you won't consider an online purchase for more of a choice?
