    Careful with the Thelema DNA100C. Someone on reddit took apart the 510 plate on the Thelema DNA250C and the 510 plate is more or less pressfit. The top screws do secure the plate, but not by very much. Why not use screws that are 2-3mm longer, lol.


    I’ve had one for a while and haven’t had any issues yet but will keep it in mind.

    For every day wear and tear, I don't see this being an issue. For those that pop rda tops off while they're still mounted on the mod, or those that have a frequent tendency to knock their devices off of tables/desks/out of their pockets, or dropping their device, this is more of a concern.

    I made the mistake of looking through the sale section at evolution. I just intended to order another Sunbox but also ended up with another Thelema dna100c, a blue crypt boro tank, and a second Unibox. The prices were just too good to pass up.
    I've never shopped at Evolution, but they definitely have juicy prices taking a look around.

    I stuck 2 Freemax Maxus Solo kits, a Maxus 2 kit, and an SXmini SL class V2 mod in the cart and with shipping, it's $143. Very very tempting.

    Maybe I’m an oddball but I usually only run rdas on squonk mods.

    I’ve ordered from them 3-4 times. Shipping is a little slow due to royal mail strikes.

    I watched Jacek from Monarchy today.
    There's a new Hussar AIO launching next week, looks to be smaller than the BXR, and looks really nice too. That said, I thought the BXR was pretty too.

    Mobb v3, if he lands on the latest design it will be smaller than the Mobb Mini, hardly music to the ears of DL fanatics, I like what I hear myself.

    Anyone heard much about the Meson AIO? It’s supposed to be great for DL.
    Steam Crave tends to do well on the DL, so don't look away from them doing it again.
    There are probably a couple of weeks left before it lands in the shops, maybe there will be some reviews next week?

    I think the three slightly larger ones in the UK run January sales, which tends to be common. I would assume it is because they are clearing shelves to get ready for new products coming from China.

    Been eyeing this up since I first saw postings for it. 21700, DL, boro - sounds like a great combo to me.

    I like the look of it as a non-boxy 21700 bb, but a mesh rba scares me.
    The one an only thing you need to be concerned about regarding mesh is that your cotton is pressed up firmly against the entire strip. I've used both 6mm cotton and 2x 3mm cotton strips just to see how well it works. If you do two 3mm cotton strips, hold them together side-by-side and sort of fluff them out together with your fingers to form more of a cylindrical shape before laying them in your deck. Most people like to form the mesh, tighten it down in both clamps before feeding the cotton through - like you would a normal coil. I've found better success forming the mesh, clamping down only one side of the mesh, feeding the cotton through, pushing the cotton inward so it's clear of the 2nd clamp, then using swiss or ceramic tweezers to push the 2nd side of the mesh into the clamp so that you can tighten it down. I made a walkthrough of it when I did a review on the Freemax Marvos Mesh RTA some time ago.

    It comes with the mesh deck and a standard deck from what I read.
