A bit of a spending spree with stuff arriving over the last couple of weeks: From Left to right: The Geekvape G Box, a regulated dual battery with the Vandyvase pulse - not half bad, good to have a dual that lasts all day. Looks a little better than the Kangertech dual but otherwise no massive difference. Not that temp control is my thing, but seems to work OK on this. Bit of a pain that you have to remove batteries to refill but not a big deal. Aleader Killer 80W, single battery regulated with the Rashomon RDA - got it as a replecement for a retun of my steamcrave which died while it was in warranty - big dissapointment - leaks like crazy - am awaiting some o-rings that might fix it, if I get can get it to not leak it will be a very nice looking regulated cheap squonker. By the way the temperature control is total pants, but this does not bother me as I'm not a big fan of TC HUGO Squeeze, a 21700 battery mech with an Enthon style RDA - this is just brilliant, everything about it works perfectly - discovered I like the profile of a 21700 in a mech Geekvape Athena 18650 mech with Comet styled RDA - was a suprise - forgot I'd ordered it, but a very pleasant surprise - extremeley well put together with nice neat internals - hits like a steam train The Ijoy Capo Squonker with a Narca Style RDA - regulated mech that will take a 21700 or convert to an 18650 - it's fine for my needs but claims of going up to 100w are just bunk, seems to me underpowered in comparison to other regulated devices - very hard to tell the difference between 40w and 100w! Overall my prize goes to the two Mechs - with the Squeeze a little out in front becasue it can take a 21700. Having got my impulse control back I'm laying off buying mods for a while....

I have a boxer, too, thebishman, as you say the same design sized up, so the squeeze is a bit bigger and heavier (once the 21700 is in it) - but the battery makes up for it. I like the boxer shape - the Athena loses out here a bit too because it's yer basic metal box. The bottle in the GBox is quite hard, decoy, but does not bother me too much - I also have several VT spares, so might give them a go at some point.
