Just checkin' in to see what everyone's been ordering, if you've gotten it yet, and how you like it - whatever 'it' is - PV, cartos, atties, etc

I'll go first - I've ordered a Red Sky VV Cutlass 5.1 but it's not here yet.

After reading how great the DC cartos are I thought I'd try cartos again and I'm still 'meh', not enough flavor, I still find them even more annoying than dripping and I don't know what it is, but I don't like filler taste and/or wick taste.

Picked up an Empire mods Drip shield for my 306 atty and I like that quite a bit - it does it's job, protecting me from messy leaks, but I find it unattractive (maybe the straight silver would be better looking, but they never seem to have them).

A few other odds and ends, but no big WOW items. Anyone get anything they're really excited about?

I went crazy after dropping out ...BUzzPro, GGTS, iatty in.... ArmySGtII, in mail; Liquinator, Genesis', Kronos BOx, pending.

Sold a Provari, bought a new one; seems the newer ones are slightly different from first runs; i like it. But i think the Vari works best with a Tank that you set and leave it. THe BuzzPro is great for dripping because the dial is so easy to turn up or down.
Iatty is insane the low resistance you can get and not burn.

Waiting on GG VV module.

Vari LED letters/numbers slightly smaller, and the window is stronger, new spring eaks out longer batt run times, new P18650 2500mah is great.

*AW Pila thread by SuperT shows charts with Protected AW's out performing IMR's... check it out.

I'm loving my 2500's on the pro-vari - went away for 5 days with 4 batterys (one was half run down) and still had 1 fully charged when I got home. What a pleasure to not lug a charger.
Waiting for the Genisis LV and Scubagen V3s to come in, and hoping for Fono to come up with a solution to the run off in the bottom feed (i didn't want to say leaking) so he can put some circuitry in the phidias....

Definitely looking forward to the feedback on the redsky VV.

Crap Ukeman, I'm envious (sort of) though I know I couldn't live with myself if I went on that kind of shopping spree!! Mentally I can never seem to justify buying something new if everything I have works well :( Damn mental blocks.............. I really want to try the iAtty, but waiting to see how the scubagen v3 and genisis LV work out first...

I'm still having troubles with my early warnings on the Vari - 3.9-3.8 - so I haven't been able to enjoy the bliss of uninterrupted vaping with the new batts yet. I scrubbed it clean with a dental brush (looks like a really mini bottle cleaner) and I was able to get more gunk off the threads/contact points/atty connector, the cleaning helped a little, but there must be something else going on. I'll contact ProVape after I get the RSM; I must have another VV to fall back on.

I should have my RSM by Thurs./Fri. but I'll only have 3V rcr123a tenergy's for it til my batt order comes in via first class mail. Definitely will let you know my feedback on that. I'm curious to see if the feed system in the RSM compensates better for the 'run-off' we see in the Phid and other bottom-feeders (delicately put Jimho, I woulda just said leaking :)) I'll try it both with the gravity/fire feed option and the tube fed method...

Oh - I should mention the RSM contest going on now - maybe you'll get lucky and be able to try one sooner rather than later.

Missed them. :(

I emaild a long time ago and was told I was on the Email list and even did it again last week but nothing. Oh well I will get one when the time is right.

I'm waiting on these since they changed what was included in the purchase. Last week when I looked you got the drip tip and three sizes of 306-510 tip adapters (or so it seemed), now they've dropped the drip tip altogether and only include the adapter for the MA306 atty (most angry industries) along with one MA306 atty. I guess for $28 I wanted the matching drip tip... at least

@MX - still waiting for that g-tank pic ;-)

i know FOA, but heck, a guy with too much time on his hands (i wish) and the fact that good things are easy to resell if you don't like 'em... you've got enough irons in the fire...
imo, the Vari and the Buzz Pro are all i'll need... and i mean need.... i can't even deal with a mechanical pv anymore or a non regulated vv.... can't do it. Those, and a ton of dse 901's.

I havn't made up my mind yet so I'm using an LR 306 on an ego battery with a drip cone. IMHO a much to simple vape, i need something more complicated lol.
On the other hand I just cleared out all my old box mods, battaries, and unvaped juice and sent it all to Vegas vapefest to give away free to smokers on the strip to encourage more vaping!!!
So now I have alot of new room to put all the innovations that are coming out end of september/october (dual 18650 VV splash, and VVPV to name a few)

For me I have gone back to basics for now.

REO Grand or Woodvil HD 18650 1.5 Cisco 510 atty or crank it up to 6v with a 3.0 atty

Dripping on my Buzz or Provari using my Bulli A2 or IKV Canon 3.5

Some times its just good to go back to basics.

Waiting on the VVPV that will be a win for sure and Robs 18490 and VV mods coming out over the next few months.

Heck I even went back and fired up an original Woodvil like I fell in love with and for me it hit the spot.

The G-Tank is nice and works well but dose not hole the juice I need for it to be an all day unit + I am not a fan of long PV's But will use it at the desk with some DIY juice we mixed up.

Bulli is a hit IMO and will order more. Iatty is ok works like it should but a little bit on the airy draw for me (I need to play with it more)

Looking forward to a Scuba Tank I bought assembled to check out. (Should be here next week)

I still with the EQ would have worked out would have been nice to have some of the options on it. Top feed and VV in one but the VVPV should take care of that for me.

Friend of Atlas:

Here is a photo of my G-Tank on my GGTB It dose not like my ProvoVari. It keep giving me an error code. I need to rebuild the wire so it is higher Ohm.

Nice photos MX. I saw MerGryphons review of the iAtty and it looks like a great device.

Thanks
The Iatty is nice and well made very versatile I just need to tighten the draw a bit and its a win for me.

Some people are modding them to use the SS mesh I just need the top plastic peace before I go there with mine.
