    need more 21700 mods. I have a few that I don't use much in preference to others and my 21700 battery stash is large.

    There's been so many new ones lately, so @hittman is your best bet on which ones are worth buying.

    My fave is the Innokin Kroma 217. It has the same hand feel and fire bar of the Kroma-R. And despite only being a smidge taller and wider, it uses 21700s. Unlike the z80 it doesn't have f0 mode. But it does have Coil+ which is the next best thing.

    Downside: it's heavy.
    Here's 3 pics showing the weight of a fully loaded 217/Lethal rta, an Ursa Quest with rba and a Cool fire z80 with a Lethal RTA:

    I'm just using FT links as it's easier

    Yup! Until I got efest luc v4 HD elite I was always looking for newer and better chargers.

    I know the Miboxer c4-12A is the bees knees when it comes to charging, and displaying info like the internal resistance, capacity etc but it's too pricey for me
    $42.91 MIBOXER C4-12A 4-slot Intelligent Battery Charger - LCD display / 3A/1A output / Li-ion/Ni-MH/Ni-Cd battery compatible / US at FastTech - Free Shipping
    Your post is when I found out LUC had finally come out with a 4 bay that accommodated all 21700 batteries in length. If I forgot at the time a big THANK YOU!

    I really like the Kroma 217 also. I have a couple of the Odin dna75c also. The Hyperion dna100c is nice too. For less expensive ones the Thelema Solo has quickly become a favorite and have another one on the way. Also the Centaurus Quest is one I like a lot. You can use it as a squonk or not. It comes with the squonk bottle and a carry bottle. I am testing the pulse aio right now but it’s just a little big for my hand. The Abyss is one I use every day but might not be for everyone.

    Question for @Daniel Forsyth
    I'm looking for a good quality bottom airflow dripper to test the tobaccos that's in the steeping process.
    Guess what I came up with? ;)

    Is his name SMT? Oh no, his air flows from the topo_O

    I give up then Mate, what have you come up with?:thumb:

    Morning shinies ;)

    I ordered a battery tester during the insomnia hours this morning. Hopefully it will give me a more accurate idea of which of my older 18650s need to be benched.

    But I mainly bought it because I'm a geek. And I love geeky toys.

    Mmm...now I want one to.

    I think a few others are having the same issue over in the vape mail ban thread. What is very odd, is that your package made it to Opa Locka, completely out of customs.
    It made it even further than opa-locka and made it all the way to Seminole Orlando which is adjacent to Brevard where I'm at That's our main distribution center It's such a weird situation and then was sent back from there just to bounce around and do whatever this is.

    So this is looking just great lol anyone have any idea if that's actually processing back to China. Or if it's going through customs again for some reason. This is the package that was bouncing between two different distribution centers that are pretty much next door to one another for a week The freemax maxity Max that I am no longer thinking I'm getting lol. Just in case anyone's unfamiliar it arrived in Miami a couple weeks ago made it all the way up to the distribution center that's closest to me after going through customs and then was sent back and has been bouncing between two distribution centers. So this would definitely be the second time it's gone through customs if that is indeed what it's doing rather than being shipped back to China. I can't get any answer on what it's doing and my local post office that I ask if they could please grab it and direct it towards me has not responded since they told me yes we got your request and we're happy to help lol

    My Recurve arrived this morning:

    IMG_20220211_124554.jpg


    I had to go into town anyway so decided to pop in my friends vape shop.
    Always like to go in and show him new stuff i think he will personally enjoy or he will like to have for sale at his shop,small shop so he can't afford to have a large inventory.

    Anyway i pop in and show him the atty,still haven't built it so he said you mind if i do?
    Guys know me,always wanted a butler for my vaping needs so i said yeah go for it,we chose the single 5 mm coil and he got started.

    Once he is done he hands it over,i decide to start at 30 watts and....nada,I'm like dude i need more powah not getting anything from this...but at 30 watts,coil reading at 0.59 ohms i was already at 4.20 volts.

    He looks at me weird and tells me to crank it up....I'm like dude i can't do that,first mod i got from you the Swag 80w you told me never ever go over 4.20 v's.

    Looks at me up and down with a look of contempt that pales in comparison to the looks i got from my former mothers in law and said yeah but that was single battery,your Jackaroo is double so you can go past 4.20v

    And yeah that i didn't know :lol::lol:
    Guys know me I'm never into the techy techy side of things so i assumed that volt cap was like a norm,didn't know double batteries could go higher....yeah i know i know,gee I am an embarrassment to the whole vaping community lol.

    Anyway this thing is a flavor banger,i mean wow!!!!

    Will use exclusively at home thou,when i leave home i always got a long list of things to do and can't be worried about the whole dripping thing.

    But for home use? yeah baby i am rocking this thing 24/7.
    Never dripped before,have squonked thou but the dripping i think will require me to remove the cap,checked a minute ago and the ends of the wick were a bit dry.

    More work than a RTA but the flavor alone makes it worthwhile to be honest.

    What sold me on RDAs was the flavor. I don’t mind dripping if I’m at home, watching TV or something, but it’s tedious if I’m busy. You’ll get the hang of it quickly how many drops you need and hits you can do before adding juice.

    I'm glad you like it. You're due for a win. I really love the recurve 2 also and have been running it on the Centaurus in squonk mode. It's nice it has a 2ml liquid capacity. It's almost like running an rdta on a squonk.

    Well the post office did get back to me today stating that they had located my package and it was going through processing and to give it a few days to arrive. So maybe the alarm of seeing import terminated and held at office of exchange was actually them locating the package and getting it set the right way who knows We will know when it gets here It really shouldn't be very long I would say Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest it's 2 hours away from me right now but it is the weekend. I had given up now I'm hopeful again. But I did use it as a handy dandy excuse to buy other things so there's always that lol
