This Phil Busardo Tootle Puffer movement just created a gaping hole in my wallet. While I was totally content with using either my Provari Procyon or Radius with P3 Kabuki's, Phil introduces a German device that rivals only Provari in quality, safety, and reliability, but adds extra customization and features.The Dicodes DaniBox.

So I now have to look a little deeper into reviews on this box, because this thing looks SOLID. And what is Phil using on top of that device? Looks like a shorter Kabuki with white O Rings, no.....looking back to an older video it's a Vika Fantasy tank.

I've saved a LOT of money on smoking, so I don't mind splurging on the occasional mod. After doing the research, I hit the buy button on both.

Then I got the pleasure of meeting Phil and The vaping Greek last week, and Phil happened to have his DaniBox AND Vika. This reassured me that I made the right decision, this device is precisely what I was hoping to be regarding quality, and even smaller than I was expecting, I was now REALLY stoked to get this setup, like Christmas in March. By the way, these guys are great people. We all talked for over an hour.

So Thursday, my German made vape mail arrived, with excitement I opened it up and got precisely what I was expecting, this little device is solid, good weight to it, great looking, killer ergonomics, clear glass display. Having watched 3 tutorials, the navigation was not as difficult as it would had been had I picked it up and not watched any. It performed well with the Nautilus X even though I'm not the biggest fan of that tank. Now the 1 day wait for the Vika.

Yesterday, China vape mail arrived, a Vika Fantasy Classic, and a Vika Mini. Cleaned her up, filled it, and NOW I have such a killer setup. I really couldn't be happier. It looks great, vapes like a champ, and the battery life has been better than expected. The tank performs right up there with the Kabuki, but edges it out in being shorter, and air flow is a little more flexible.

I think I am good on my major vape purchases for awhile.

Still amazes me that aftermarket manufacturers were able to pull off what the original manufacturer couldn't.

Wow, the new PT coils are obviously not made as well as the old, as I've never had problems with them. Look at what happened when I tried to remove the chimney with pliers!

You just don't know your own strength. That or too much or not enough wine.

I never thought of it that way, and since I'm done tasting, it's the former rather than the latter! I guess rebuilding and buzzes don't go together well.

Squonking... Brought the beater CoV Wraith to work today with some SteamCrave V-RDA love. The Dripbox 2 and VT Inbox are both at home waiting new BF RDA's arriving Monday.

If you want to play with TC on one, then do yourself a favor and get an HCigar VT Inbox, it's a DNA 75 and works much better than either the Wraith or Dripbox 2. Both the Wraith and DB2 have a barely usable TC and the DB2 has a battery level issue...
I have not used the Wraith, but I'm looking for one. I do have a VT75, and a Dripbox 2. The Dripbox 2 TC can be fine tuned with almost DNA precision using the software... I've had no issues... and I'm not familiar with any battery bar issues...

Nice looking tank, what is it?

Not the OP, but I believe it's the e-pheonix with a bell cap... from the same folks that made the Hurricane. Is it just me, or is the bell cap a little cross-threaded and askew?
