Finally arrived (5+ weeks after ordering) and the chalice is duff; centre pin dropped out/was snapped on arrival, inner chamber is completely missing so the 3x air holes go straight into the chamber and the inner plate which the pos post is connected to is floating loose and touching the base. Awaiting resolution or it's $10 drip tip:(
Reo is OK for the £ and fortunately my ebaron spiral fits (door not the best fit though and magnets will need upgrading me thinks).
Edit: but on a more positive not I've used it for a few hours and like the form factor/switch and it performs pretty well.

Aldi was chocker on sunday morning within 5 mins of opening (which reminded me why I let my wife do the shopping normally), while the car parks of our morrisons and asda had plenty of spaces left. Waitrose seems to be less affected though and always seems pretty busy.

Received 2x flat top 18350s and finally got around to having a quick look at them; packaging good, labelling good, size OK in my Diablo Reaver (best mech I've got for low v drop). Performed a quick V drop under load (approx. 1.3ohm coil/ 3 amp / 13w) to compare with a new 15C AW IMR, a torchy blue 18350 that's had 30+ cycles and a red efest v2 (just for a laugh as they've been poor since I got them). Winner is the AW with 3.99v at the terminals Last place unsurprisingly the efest with  .5v Torchy's held up well considering age/use at 3.7v And the new ones from Jac... pretty respectable 3.95v. Re-did the test at approx. 0.7ohm (6 amp / 25w) just with the two new high drain batteries and both delivered 3.88-3.99v so pretty good for the occasional small factor sub-ohm toot. Rarely use 18350 mechs for longevity and tend to swap out at 3.6-3.7v so capacity test not going to be much use. Cheers |

Great comms, quick dispatch, item spot on and a pleasure to deal with.
Cheers:)

+1 to a single V2 if you split please; got rid of my last 'oid over a year ago and still miss the style/size/leak-free design

My V2 mini is still going strong/my go to device after more than 2 years; threads spot on, fires every time and enough power/range for my sedate vaping style. Not the cheapest bit of kit but worth the £ imho.

Guevara added to the list... one of the finest juices in the HoL range (especially the reserve if there's any left... boozy though as it was aged in old distillery oak barrels I believe; closest vape to a cigar I've had in 2+ years)

Perique is more of a pipe taste/very rich tobacco flavour. La Rica is definitly more dry than sweet on my palette and puros dark has a slightly bitter, dark chocolate undertone to a strong baccie flavour.

Using 18mg La Rica in my diablo hybrid at the moment and it's a pleasant enough vape; not too sweet, hint of cigar, good vapour and reasonable throat hit (with a moderate gennie build), quite a dry taste. It's definitely better after a good steep though (been in the box for 3+ monhts after the initial taste was a bit meh). HoL puros dark and the perique are good baccies (but not very coil freindly).

Just done a quick and dirty test using an Igo coiled at 1.4 and got these voltages at the attie terminals:
Power/Expected/Measured
6.5w/3v/2.9v
8w/3.35v/3.19v
10w/3.7v/3.57v
15w/4.5v/4.35v
20w/5.3v/5v
Having said that, it does seem to hit harder than the power suggests with a kayfun atop?
Solid little thing (apart from the 510 perhaps... time will tell)

material is stated as alloy though? reckon SS for a few $ more is a better bet
