That’s good feedback. I didn’t get the kit just the mod. I didn’t even notice if a kit had been available at the time. I have A LOT of rda’s to choose from for it.

I’ve seen a lot of posts and talk of the luxotic but have never bought or used one. Mostly because I don’t like the boxy look to it then the issues with the leaking. I’ve been so fortunate in my vaping experience that I’ve rarely had leaking issues with any of my RBAs or 510 connections. That would send me over the edge and the gear out the window lol!!!

I’m still a noobie with squonking. Didn’t really see how it fit into my vaping use being a defiant dripper lol! I initially bought a couple of Squeezes but found it awkward to use so boxed them up and put them away. But with the availability of mods being up in the air I decided to at least grab some newer ones while I could.

So far I’ve struck gold for my purposes with the Topside & Revenant. I ended up buying three of each I like them so much. The Feedlink and a Sigelei Fuchai (?) were spur of the moment Flash Sale purchases. I also have several semi regulated squonks for the stash. And that’s a whole ‘nother can of worms.

Anyways sorry for blabbering but thanks for your thoughts on it :thumbs: !!
I tend to like heavier solid feeling mods and I don't feel like this is a heavy mod but it does feel very solid. It's got a very comfortable hand grip and I have pretty small hands and I feel like the button and the squonk are both very intuitive like that is where your hands naturally going to want to be. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Our government is doing more than any other country. We are testing and are quickly trying to find a cure. People need to quit listening to the BS propaganda from the fake news networks and think for themselves.
Don....think....the more tests you do the more people you find who have mild symptoms that they didn't report. The US almost certainly has lots of cases just walking around out there.....and Delores is completely correct it's just logical maths.

I sincerely hope you don't get it buddy :wub:

Funny how that works for different people. My favorite mods to hold are Solos and Provaris. The Colossal is a great mod but for me it's just too slippery, nothing to hold onto. Plus I tend to absentmindedly run my thumb up and down the touch screen. One of these days I'll get around to figuring out how to lock it.

I just read a long article about vaccine development. Lot of stuff I didn't know. Dead virus vaccines, disabled virus type, partial virus type, transplanting virus fragments, they are working on all of them simultaneously. The safety and effectiveness testing takes a really long time. Some can be developed quickly but take a long time to scale up production, or vice versa. They are all looking at between a year to 18 months for availability.

They are also looking at multiple different options for treating the disease, but treatment for that type of virus doesn't have much of a track record for success. Like with the common cold.

afternoon all.
put some flavour art spearmint in latest batch of DIY sanitizer. result is very pleasant. ditched the VG also.
place of work remains open for hordes business. what's the betting my role(s) suddenly become 'critical' despite that not being reflected in any way financially.
still not tackled the vinci rba yet. huge hands and lack of patience mean that the time has to be just right. maybe september sometime.
was just thinking i haven't got a new regulated mod in ages. might have to remedy that.
a certain 'flashlight' is nearly home.
battered halloumi? there will be shortly.

I just got teamed by the post mistress for checking my mail!

People are so selfish, going out in public! Omg, well sue me for wanting to pay my bills. I had an email that a package was ready to pick up, didn’t get a yellow card, so I had the unmitigated gall to ask, and now I’m a horrible person.

Will you die if you don’t get it today? She yelled.

I said, you know, I’m not going anywhere I don’t have to go. Not parties, not ball games, not hanging around in bars. I’m doing the best I can, because we’re all in this together. But I cannot avoid leaving the house 100%.

And if you’re SO concerned, why are YOU at work? Why are YOU not staying home? And since, apparently, YOU are so important that you need to be out of your house, why don’t you bring me my stupid mail yourself?

I feel like a jerk, I should’ve just let her rage. I’m sure she needed to, lol. I think I’ll bring her an apology gift tomorrow. I have an extra roll of tp I can spare.

I'd limit it to a half roll or less myself.

umm...I am listening to the same news as her and it is not fake and I agree. Our leaders have not handled it well.

But when you DIY you use flavours that are naturally sweet plus 0.25 to 0.50 super sweet and you very quickly get used to that as being sweet enough....to be honest I think that the more sweetener you have the more lung damage you're doing....give it a try Zazie.

Juice flavours like Capella sweet cream and flavour art marshmallow are naturally sweet....:)
You want me to see if I can damage my lungs (more), Charlie? Well, okay, if you say so . . .

What should they have done different? I keep hearing fake news and demonrat politicians saying not enough is being done but none of them have any suggestions how to do it better. What more can be done that hasn't been done?

That's the whole point this stuff doesn't happen overnight. When I hear people say the government isn't doing enough please tell me WHAT SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT BE DOING?

    @Zazie - @charlie1465 got our names mixed up, he was replying to my post about loving coil killing flavours, but called me Zazie - which is a compliment to me :wub:
    And yes, thanks to doing diy - I now have a lot more control over how much sweetener goes into my mixes, except when I over squeeze the bottle :D

    How did you like those coils in an RTA? I have found you can use a lower wattage for the same vapor production. What are your thoughts? I know they work great in an RDA.
    They work great in an RTA. You compare the coils to a 3mm, 6 wrap 3*28g x 36g fused clapton. I first noticed in dry burning them (around 17 W) that the ramp up is really fast.
    What you say is right (about needing less power) - with a pair of equivalent Ni80 fused claptons at 0.16 Ohms I'd probably run them around 85 W to get a nice thick warm vape. I started out like that in the Zeus X but have dropped down to 75 W.

    Up til now I'd only used Killer Coils in rdas on single 18650 mech or unregulated squonkers and they ramp fast and hit hard.
    Great coils

    EDIT: These Killers are Ni80 core with SS 316L wrap
