I've had mine for a little bit and ended up shelving it.

Overall it's not a bad mod, I absolutely hate the bottle set up. Wanted to mod it by cutting the tube but none of my bottles will fit. In the end I just felt it wasn't worth it to me.

Now...it just sits...

These are the only bottles that I have found to fit when you take the silicon seal out the plastic, I will have a video up soon showing how I converted mine.
I know how to, just lost interest.
The worst mod I have is the iJoy 1w squonk. I place this one just abouve it.

I bought it because it was only going to cost me $20. It's not horrible by any means, I just have better.

if it still has that metal tube feed system those silicone bottles will just make things worse imo

Still has the metal tube feed. There is a video on their Instagram that shows the new bottle. They are keeping the metal feed tube, and just replacing the plastic bottle with a silicone one.

Here's the link:

Yeah, I would think if they are keeping the metal feed tube, the original harder bottles would be less of a mess.

I recall JayBo mentioning to Tony they were going to fix that. I thought it meant getting rid of the feed tube and going to a standard type bottle system. I don't see how just changing to a softer bottle is going to make folks happy.

I'm glad I waited to see if they were going to replace the feed tube. I really like the looks of this mod, but I want a standard bottle system that I don't have to rig myself.

Saw that FT had the Luxotic for $28.50 for the mod only with their current coupon (code SHAMROCK) so I could not resist picking up one even with the post/bottle system. Going to try converting it. FT also has the new bottles, but those have a pretty long lead time (15 days). But, nice price: $2.51 per or $6.57 for a three pack using the coupon. I'll probably get a pack of those as a separate order so it doesn't delay the mod order.

I have one coming and have absolutely no problem with switching the bottle out with the ones sold by Coil Master (set of 2 on eblay for less than $10).
Simple conversion, simple fix.

The VV Pulse 80 is next on my list.
Since they have gone with the VV unicorn chip over the gene chip I am planning on picking one up too.

Right now I am enjoying my RSQ with the dead rabbit RSA. Not sure if I really want to get another squonker,or not? I still have the V3 inbox coming along with the Hcigar magic box on the slow boat.,oh and a VT75D.

So I think my spending on gear is up for the next few months. If i am able to get Pulse 80 it will probably be when it's popularity has gone.

Anyone know what safety/protections the pcb/chip is giving?
After looking at lots of reviews trying to find info all I've noticed is.
1: 5 click on/off feature.
2: Blinking light for no atty detected/low battery.
A lot of reviews mention "safety protections" but don't list anything really.
Short circuit protection looks like the main safety feature other than,blinking light to tell battery percentage.
