I think the rda was something that was designed a while back when the Mesh rda hype was at it's peak. The RDA didn't quite work out as planned, they had already machined a ton of them so it was put on a shelf. Along comes the Delta squonker which was the perfect place to unload these RDAs. Getting TVL to endorse it and Revenant Vapes to sell it was hopefully a ticket for success. But when you cripple the firmware and throw in a meh RDA it all backfires as the reviewers will pick up on the flaws in an instant.

An extra tank would have been nice (you can't even buy them) and a firmware update to put the Omni 4.0 features back, but I highly doubt we will ever see either of those. I do like the 1A charge rate and the timer that counts down until full charge, would be nice to have the H-N-S modes as well as TC for me but it is a good VW mod.

Yeah I was actually really surprised that it didn't at least have the hns included. I think for the original price point they were asking way too much considering how limited it really is but I guess because it was somewhat innovative in the way that it works as far as the squonk goes they figured they could do that. It looks at least from what I've seen like it's well worth $40 but I guess we'll see it sure is pretty

Apparently when they first sent it out to reviewers it was actually a veritable voltage and then they changed it to variable wattage at least one reviewer that I was watching said that they got it and it was only veritable voltage and then three months later they came out with a different version which was a veritable wattage. I'm okay with veritable voltage but had it only been that I probably would have passed

@Pigs @Daniel Forsyth and the rest of our shiny friends from The Land Down Under. I hope you all get some relief soon.

Australia just had its hottest day ever recorded - and it may get even hotter

I appreciate the thoughts
We are going to be in for a pretty warm one this summer, 42 C is forecast for today

I've sent a few emails to both Revenant Vapes and Vaporesso inquiring about a possible firmware update for the Delta. Those emails were ignored by both companies, they could have just said no at least or were working on it etc.

$40 is a good deal even with it's limitations. I got mine in a contest here on ECF in exchange for a review, but there would have been way to many negatives so I never bothered writing one.

Oh yeah I'm sure that the company would much rather have you not say anything then give them a review of all the stuff that they could have done that they didn't especially since I know that it was originally retailing for as high as 130 USD LOL

Ha Ha i'm sitting here with a huge lump in the throat and you wonderful people are the cause of it
Nah its not about Anna...hell i'm from Africa. We're psychologically tough as nails.
I just thought I have everything (but the right juices. I do have one though) I need as far as vape hardware is concerned, and i've been buying stuff I don't need, and haven't been using really.
Last night i'm lying in bed thinking what my morning ritual will be like now. I usually get up, make myself a beautiful cup of home brewed coffee and spend about a half hour at my vape station catching up on this thread...vaping and feeling the love you lot spread. Yeah you're a special lot that's for sure. Yeah who was I bluffing really I need to be stronger and wiser about my vape spending. Losing out on the morning love sessions won't be good for my soul
I think back so often....I've been part of bonsai forums for many years. Now lately i've walked away from all of them because of all the constant bickering and competition driven aggression.
On this forum, and especially this thread I found exactly the opposite. I'm so glad and proud to be part of this community.
Well as I said, i'm packing and off on holiday soon. I wish you all love, happiness and prosperity for your holidays and beyond
Ah and thank you all for the support

Strikes USA has all the colors for $34.50 with code "CVDRevenantDelta".

Stick around, apply a little Ignore button and enjoy.
Have a wonderful holiday and hopefully we will see you when you get back!

So I just went and checked asmodus to see if my colossal had shipped and it has which is amazing. And I noticed that they have something new. There's two new combos you go to the mods section and then you go to the combinations there's the Colossal with two different kinds of rda's for $30. One of them only comes in green the other one has three different colors to choose from I think it was pink white and green. I would have loved to have gotten the pink colossal but I don't really like the RDA it's a dual coil only RDA does have a squonk pin which is nice but running a dual coil on a single 18 650 has just never really worked out well for me. So I'm going to tell myself that to make myself feel better LOL plus the white one really is very cute

It is so bitter sweet to see Florida Vapor Supply going out of business. I need to stay off of their closeouts. I couldn't resist picking up some more stuff. 4 bf pins $4, another Reckoning RDA $6, a Titanium Redemption $25 and a Titanium Vital $25. That is insane pricing. You can't get clones for those prices.

Glad your sticking around!

Only thing Shiny I got was replacement glass tanks for the Kelpie. I did get a shiny but it got delivered to my sister in New Jersey. A Noisy Cricket. I’m looking forward to testing it out.

Yay! I hope that means you will be coming back to us? I hardly buy anything anymore either. I live vicariously through everyone else and like the pictures and friends

It’s sad we’re going to be seeing more and more of this in the next six months. People who put so much time and effort into building a business only to be forced out for what are essentially political reasons.

i think it's nearly evening all.
little to report apart from EPOS aggravation and mending.
sourcemore gave me a shipping notice and tracking number for my evdilo but the tracking number is in no way recognisable and doesn't suggest which service may be transporting it. they have been sent an email.
not entering into thread goings on but i value the input and banter from all of you. I'm not even close to being a frequent poster but this place has helped get me through some tough times of late and will continue to do so. sounds a bit sad but when it's 1 in the morning and all is dark it's beneficial to wade through posts and personalities. shinies and subjects.
i stepped back from every bit of so called social media years ago and this is my only haunt. I've made friends with so many more people than i would have thought possible.
guess you're stuck with me.

The pleasure is ours sweets.
