Dig the pottery in the background too

It's a Kennedy 24 2 post clone with a black delrin battle cap drip tip. I really like the short wide drip tip and it matches the black cut out sleeve. My father in law is retired and makes pottery. My house is full of it!
I just realized the copper limitless has a black sleeve too! That rda is a Kennedy 24 2 post clone with a battle drip tip as well. I really like the short wide battle drip tip on the Kennedy. The rda on the far right is a mini battle with a SS Kennedy fat dragon drip tip.

Well got another parallel Mod and it's bloody awesome. I simply love my Anubis, Abaddon and Margarita but the Nookie V3 takes it up yet another level. The simplicity makes for cleaning and maintenance a snap, not to mention swapping batteries. But pair all those qualities up with this being the hardest hitting parallel not only that I own but have Vaped on. Damn!

What's in that weird shaped jar? Looks like a snake?

Baby Cobra, it's Serpent Wine from Vietnam ;)
Consuming snake is risky to human health. All reptiles carry salmonella and this can be contracted by eating raw snake. Snake-steeped wine is produced by infusing whole raw snakes in rice wine or grain alcohol. The wine is sold as a cure for numerous ailments from rheumatism to impotence; there is no evidence that it does anything of that sort.

That's the first thing that came to my mind was salmonella, when u said serpent wine. Did u buy it online or travel to N. Vietnam? I wouldn't mine buying a bottle to have not drink :)

Why I won't drink it ;)

Nah, friend of mine brought it back when they traveled through Vietnam. I've spent a good chunk of time in West Asia, haven't been to East Asia yet.

Warhead looks like a toy but vapes like a champ. Cricket is better than original but still a Cricket. I think Tesla Invader 111 might be the easier to use but not as flexible. However the Cricket is nice and small - a bit bigger than thew Satan or original Cricket.

The potentiometer is a b##ch to adjust. The battery sled is hard to close but decently made. Switching is easy to do but setting up the mod for potentiaometer or straght series is tricky with all the flashing lights et all.

Now I've only used it for about four hours now. I imagine you can get used to it. You can lock it by clicking five times which is a bonus. You can switcxh to three different modes - Parallel, Series and Potentiometer (different from the straight Series). This is nice and better than Tesla.

For the price - a mere 50 Canadian - you cannot lose. Still, i much prefer my Satan ... now that is a mod to get behind. I had two VCPs that I traded away. They were nice but the Satan is better and I now own two of those. I could see using the Cricket as an ADV beater. I mean why the hell not.

I have never actually found myself to use a mech alone, I always have previously used them alongside a regulated mod.

Last week on Tuesday, I received a Wotofo Phantom, and a Lush RDA to go with it. I don't know if my other mechs are not very good, or I just really like this one, but I have used it almost exclusively, only going regulated when I have popped to the shops.

Nothing too insane, a 26G SS 316L dual coil build at around 0.22. This is more than enough for me, and I am really enjoying going mechanical for a change.

This is all @r055co's fault... :D A copper Abaddon clone with a copper Goon clone. I'm loving this little beast!

I love Copper, I'm crossing my fingers for I have a friend heading to the PI next month. He says he's able to pick me up an Authentic Copper Abaddon, I'm crossing my fingers he comes through.

That and I found a Copper VCP Boss yesterday on sale and ordered it!

Anyway Wrights Copper Cream works wonderfully on Copper, non toxic, super easy to clean with just a dab. I then follow up with a Sunshine Cloth. Works wonderful.

Does your Cricket leave marks on the negative side of the battery the switch contacts? I get slight carbon buildup in the shape of the switch that I scrub with an eraser every battery change. Thinking about getting some Noalox to reduce it.

Not so much on the battery, but the threads get gunked up to hell. Have to wipe that out every battery change for sure.

Is that with the fat daddy vapes kit? If so, how do you find it? I've been tempted to get one myself as I do prefer a standard 510 connection than direct to battery.
They're in stock here: http://www.fatdaddyvapes.com/shop.html
I like it a lot though. The button is much nicer and I like the 510 as it helps keep juice from getting into the positive terminal of the battery below the atty. I haven't used the tube that comes with it though.

Hi mate.

I think I would have to order from the UK, as that is where I live and shipping may end up making it cost more for me. It is £15.99 over here.

Sounds like a nice upgrade kit. I do feel more comfortable with standard 510's, and due to the cricket being a series mech would prefer a normal 510. I do worry about juice too myself. I have had juice on a battery before, and was unsure when I took the battery out if it was juice or the battery had somehow vented.

I think there's a UK vendor. If you look up Youtube reviews there's a Brit reviewer who provides a link to a UK shop that stocks them. The button is the big seller for me. I'd like to test out the Copper Tube the kit shipped with that can be turned into a mech but I won't be doing that until I have a good 30 amp battery.

The tube is a nice kick around tube, I actually use it quite often. Currently have a Kayfun V5 SXK Clone on it with a Samsung 25r, nice combination.

Cracks me up, I saw on Reddit someone trying to sell the tube for $50 with some cotton and wire they obviously got with other freebies they got in other devices.

Jesus that's just un-American. I'll have to get some HB4's and wrap up some 0.2ish coils on my Royal Hunter Mini for that tube then. What do you typically wrap to with that tube?

What ever is appropriate for the device attached and battery. I'm running a 0.5 SS fused Clapton in my Kayfun on it now.

Hi mate, thanks for the link, that would indeed be the best place for me to get it from over here.

The copper tube should be a nice performing, cheap mech. I have quite a few cheaper copper and tube mechs, and do really like them.

What type of build do you intend to run , as you mention 30a batteries? I tend to run around 0.25, dual coil 26G ss, this has little to no ramp up time with 2.5mm, 8 wraps.

I know that is nothing compared to what some people like to run, but I find it provides nice warm Vapour , and well enough cloud for me.

I tend to use either 25rs or HE4s, whichever I can get cheapest at the time. I don't own any HB batteries, but get a good runtime with these, and don't find the batteries to even get warm during use let alone hot so you may well already have something suitable to use :)
