SXK Hadaly clones turned up today and two packs of KF-V5 510 insulators which I hope will fit my Aeronauts. fitted with basic 0.5ohm parallel for the VT and 1.3ohm ribbon coil for the P3

Haven't made my mind up on this but... The board needed to be updated to the latest firmware because of a weak battery glitch in the software. So it couldn't be used straight out of the box. Its one of those annoying firmware update bugs and fixes that have come with the new boards and SP series of updates. The door magnets are tiny, the door is a little rattly but livable; however the squonk hole is related to the Chinese finger trap and has been attatched to my thumb every four or five squonks. Its curved and smooth on the outside but flat almost sharp on the inside, it actually catches on my thumb nail as well as the skin. The USB port is deep set, probably about 2-2.5mm deeper than any of my USB leads, so charging by anything other than the supplied lead is hit and mostly miss. The big thing, I have fairly large hands so maybe the layout might be easier for people with smaller fingers but the cutout is positionen wronly, as avertical slot that you can't actually 'squonk' without changing grip. And under 2/3 - definitely 1/2 full its a case of squeezing the bottle to the back of the box, making several pumps to get juice into the RDA, having to flip the top on the maze to make sure the juice has reached the wick is not practical. The Maze? Not for me. The b/f pin has side outlets level with the bottom of the well, the bottle is sucking any juice it can back down the pipe. Its squonk-vape-squonk-vape, I've singed more cotton this afternoon than I have in months. A new learning curve perhaps but a RRPITA. Also has a woefull metal drip tip, horrid plastic bell cap for 510 tips and the airflow is completely wrong. Air comes up from one side of the coil only catching an outer edge. And somehow its actually cool and airy without having big holes. I've been using Aeronauts for a while now and rarely use a dual coil atty but as a choice for a 75w device its puzzling in my books you just don't get enough power for pair of decent coils without rampup. Wattage/voltage v resistance v chamber size and metal mass......whatever. A single coil atty with a parallel or small clapton would be much more practical than the compromise of trying to match a pair to the power and gain battery life. Wrong atty choice in this kit imo.

And no mention of the TPD.
Small businessman overrun by orders can't afford to expand because his profit margin was working from home and not having to employ staff.

as always a fair definitive reply from Mr VapingBad. I agree with you on the use of lipos, the discharge rating knocks 18650s out of the ball park, yada yada yada but the 900mah battery is still like having a 3 gallon tank on a Ferrari. 😆 2amp charging, hopefully it will be a good while before my DNA200s die so I guess I'll have to wait for that pleasure. jtc have to agree with you, I've cranked up the power a few times and found it fun but not satisfying. The build, the critical wicking, turning up the power and vaporising huge amounts of juice whilst trying not to incinerate your lips. Anyways, in defining the advantages we/I digress. Back to you Darkginger😅

yes VB, it was a 3s 1600mah, either way... 17w/h/1600mah/4800mah 'claimed' and from what I've read most OE 3s lipo specs are hopeful?
I still can't find a commercially available replacement of the same dimensions, 1300. Maybe possibly 1500 is the closest I could hope to fit.
tbh irrespective of the 1 hour charge time I think that the fullymax 900 lipo falls flat 50w+. whilst filling the dimensions for a compact mod and power requirements for 200w its quite lacking in operating time. Sure 20-30w it's a one charge a day mod. The battery bar is visibly whittled away 50w+ Step up to 100w and the battery bar drops rather quickly. Over that its a race.

hi Darkginger firstly why do you need 200w+? Is it because you need more than 100w or because you need more battery life? It's just that all day vaping at 100w+ even with a high mah battery is going to need regular charging or battery swaps. I believe jtc has two or three Realeaux DNA200s on the go to get through the day at his usual 100w? I used to have two 4800mah (according to the manufacturer) DNA200s and a rolo, both lipo mods would be put on charge when I walked in the door, the rolo was a 30 second battery swap. Lipo charging could be 2 hours+. In comparison my niece has a Smok Alien, she goes through 2 pairs of batteries a day at 70w. Anyways, before I blather on, why have you got the new requirements for... MORE POWER ha ha ha ha

narrowed tonight's choice down to two after the custard fail, YV strawberry cheesecake or vanilla cinnamon Danish, either way they both go nicely with the Jim Beam Happy New Year to all

Not cookies they change the link, left click a link and copy link location or whatever your browser call that and paste into note pad and you can see all the cruft, if you just hover it shows the original link. Try the link you posted it is the same. The opt out link at the bottom of the page is FTC Disclosure. Ensure you have cookies enabled or it will revert back to Opt In when you close down your browser, it does on mine (Internet Explorer) anyway, it may be different for Edge, Firefox, Chrome etc. Firefox Android on this phone, works fine right now but it seems to do as it pleases with every update. 😂

beedee the mod kit was in stock, but the Hadaly was 10-20 days to dispatch. And I missed adding the bottles on GB because they didn't show on the mobile website. It's a PITA having to chase small items on different websites. BTW, can people post straight links instead of the affiliate share-a-sale links? My mobile's adblocker throws them out and seeing as they are essentially unsolicited redirects I'm not changing the settings. There is nothing the poster can do the links are automatically reformatted by Proboards. You can opt out of having the links modified at the bottom of any page, I forget witch link as I didn't opt out because I figure why shouldn't Proboards make a few pence now and again for hosting this forum for free for over 7 years. really? I thought proboard put the banners on each page which strangle my mobile's load speed. So they grab an extra cent dropping in a sneaky cookie and invisible redirect when you post a product link. My apologies VB I've been 'ffs'ing every time my browser throws up a block.

aww bugga, FT were OOS (+7 days) and now that I'm back on my PC I've just noticed that you linked to GB. Too late anyway to go with the mod.

bullet bitten, I happy to pay under 60 quid. Next step is to buy a decent attie. Narda clone for the win!! Tenner on ft It does have an RDA with it but I just don't like the dual posts for single coils and have found the SXK Hadaly. Very similar and I would prefer the clamps. Also a tenner! www.fasttech.com/products/6228800Just need to get some spare bottles and we're done

I was looking at those too, but even at flash sale/FT discount prices they are a bit more than I intend to spend, I have a Dripbox 2 on it's way as a cheaper alternative, I'm still trying to find a squonk that really suits me. mmm, thought about a drip box but as I'm going to be using tc and stainless I'd rather have a dna.
