Fear of leaks causing problems is just one reason I thought I'd try a delro, plus it looks pretty cool. I have a little bantam box on the way too.:)
The Delro is talking to me to, but its not cheap....but its also a vape investment that'll last a long time.

Thanks for that info Trucker.
I literally just changed over to my spare gasket a minute ago to see if that makes a difference.
Regardless I'd reccomend you get one.

You've got more boro RBAs than anyone who posts here. Would love to hear your thoughts.
For me it's the first one I pick up in the morning and I vape it all day.
For me as far as rba’s the mobb mini is my favorite although it’s mostly just pure looks. I get good flavor out of several. Best airflow Exocet V2 this one is super smooth. It’s tricky to wick though. Easiest build and wick Wick’d Bridg’d. Doesn’t matter if it’s the OG which is my favorite to the V2 they’ve basically all the same. You can’t really do it wrong it just works. Only downside is that it can be a tiny bit turbulent. Best all around and my favorite Mobb mini. Great flavor smooth airflow and imo best looking rba made. I still use my vapesnail everyday. I like a Mtl before bed and first thing in the morning and again just my opinion but it beats them all for Mtl. I have a few more that I rarely use " Evl Alien , Steam Tuners Insider ,!and I recently sold the Atom. It’s similar to the others so I really didn’t need it. It’s a good one though. The Armor AMBB is supposed to be a banger but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet. The orbit is well well loved by the people who have them and I’m still probably gonna get one. The only reason I haven’t is I really like using the boro tanks much better than the all in ones. Other than the vapesnail but I’ve always been a huge fan of Atmizoo. I know the boro’s can be a little finicky but if you get a good quality one like a Mums or a PRC proro gone are the little gasket problems and leaks. Pigs I know you have several and I’d like to hear what’s your favorites the one you’d pick if you could only have one.

Sadly I had to get a clone, hate to do it, but my financial advisor would not be happy.:)
Ah I don't mind the SXK clone...I actually prefer it, but still, its damn well expensive....but i'm going to jump the fire and get one.

Nothing wrong with especially with the authentic so hard to get. I’ve been entering randomizers for awhile and still haven’t hit. I’ve had a couple chances to buy second handed but I hate to pay huge flipper prices "500-800” for a device that rrp is 430. JG has a new 18650 delro version about to hit so I’m hopeful I’ll hit the rando or the prices will drop some on the lipo " which is the one I want”. I’d get a SXK myself but I really want one made of delrin.

I really love the original BBV boro tanks. Never had a problem with the gasket and appreciate the clever design. Love the sliding glass door - no idea why.

In a Boro, my favourite RBA would be the Haku Xeta. I love the Mobb mini too but I find it hits a sweet spot and then the flavour drops a bit. That's probably just the way I build, wick, vape etc. Used to like the vapeshell and the steamtuners insider too.

Of the all in one tank/RBAs, my favourite for a long time has been the Qbix. Seems bullet proof and the 3.5mm af pin suits me well.
Then the Orbit came along...now my number one.
Still like the Snail but it's been a while since I used it.

I haven't tried any of the Wick'd rbas and would also like to try the Pioneer Insider.

Good times for BB/boro stuff now. So much to choose from and not as expensive as they used to be.

Fred if you buy the clone it might be worth paying extra for the DNA 60 version. I know you like your DNA mods. The SEVO 70 is fine too but not the same.

If you do buy one, I'd recommend getting a spare 2200mAh lipo battery. Not sure what the NZ laws are but here I had to buy my spare batteries locally. None of the Chinese retailers post batteries to Aus.

The xeta is another I wish I’d tried. I never got around to getting one. I’m trying to slow down buying now that I have several I like. I’ve changed My focus "and bank account lol" towards the devices. There’s a couple I’d like to get. I’ll continue to support Billet Box Vapor and will probably add a couple 2022’s to the lineup. Yes times are great for boro users with new devices, bridges, and tanks and I’m really excited to see the cheaper prices. Not everyone can afford it the way it used to be. The entire boro community has changed. Don’t see as much looking down on other people who can’t afford it like it used to be. I’ve seen folks who spend thousands upon thousands just as excited to receive the Vandy Vape Pulse as the guy who could finally afford a boro device. Also I’m hoping to hit on the VWM dope in the next couple weeks. I missed on the first drop. My friends are saying it’s a game changer.

For me ito get into the world of boro devices, it's been thanks to clones.
I have one authentic Billet and a few authentic bridges but the rest are high quality clones. Before this new wave of affordable gear, the vast majority of boro devices and bridges were way out of my price range or near impossible to get hold of.

I understand the arguments against the cloners but from what I've seen, anything that's good enough to be cloned sells out in authentic form anyway.
I've often wondered if there's back door channel setup between the manufacturers of the authentic devices and the big cloners like SXK. Both benefit.

Have seen a few references to the VWM Dope but haven't looked into it. Thanks for the heads up - will check out a few reviews.

    I slept like crap, so I shopped instead. Vape-wise I did a teeny boring FT order. Just drip tip adapters, more wire and some longer fat drip tips for the Boxx. The adapters are on a SHIPS in 10 LONG DAYS, so I kept this order small.

    My next order won't be!

    Thanks T. I definitely will go DNA. I have a thing going against inferior chips. It really affects the vape quality. I'll be in contact with you when the time comes about the spare lipo.

    I'm sure that is happening out there with some devices.

    I took some more pics this morning:

    5337sm.jpg


    Finally started RTFM of my sx40hs - 11months later. And figured that enlarging the focal point in autofocus would be my best bet, to get it to focus on what I want it too. Worked like a charm!

    Now I just need to get the IS to handle me after two double-shot flat whites.

    Got my Kumo up and running, thank goodness they give you spare deck screws, mine came with none installed on the tank.

    Seen reviews saying it is not good for MTL, but I got a good MTL vape with it, I do like a loose MTL though, it isn't one for tight MTL, that's for sure, great flavor, easy to build and wick.

    And it’s still that way to an extent. Even if money wasn’t an option so much of the stuff is so hard to get. Preorder has really improved getting stuff although you may have to wait a few months to have it in hand. My stuff is authentic but I’ve never looked down on anyone for getting the clones. I wouldn’t say that on Facebook because I’d get removed from the groups. Everyone should get what they can afford and enjoy the v@pe experience. After all we’re all just staying off the stinky’s

    Hello everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and staying watch. It’s cold as F here in Boston!

    Finally got a chance to setup the Lost Vape Centaurus BF and the Centaurus Solo RDA today.

    I have the original stabwood Centaurus DNA which is very much like the Paranormal with softer edges. I sold my Paranormal because I didn’t like the sharper edges. It wasn’t comfortable in my hand like the Therion is.

    Anyhow this new one isn’t just a copy of the original Centaurus with a squonk bottle added on.

    It’s kind of an odd setup with the fire button in front and the rectangular squonk bottle located beneath it. The display is now on the side of the mod. It’s a bit awkward really. Hopefully as I continue to use it I’ll get use to where everything is laid out.

    The Centaurus Solo RDA is single coil with very decent flavor. I like the deck build. I have a couple of rdas now that are similar. It’s super super easy to build and wick. It’s a no brainer and perfect for new rda users.

    So far I like it. Hopefully it’ll be more intuitive as I keep using it.

    Not sure what colour you're thinking of buying but I've heard the finish on the gunmetal and silver isn't as fine as the blue or the black. Not sure that's true for every batch but thought I'd pass it on.
    The blue anodised finish is flawless and hard-wearing. Mine show no sign of scratches except for some machining marks inside the tank well where you can't see it.
    The aluminium doors that come with it fit well but I use these transparent ones:

    They let you see the juice levels without opening up, plus they are easier to slide open with a thumb. All mine have fit perfectly and have good strong magnets.

    These SS buttons look pretty cool too. I prefer them to the plastic ones the delro comes with.
