Make that 7 days since ordering. Actually got shipped the 23rd though. Split those and my 6 days would have been right lol

Yes, I have, yes, they are, and thats all I've got so far. My order just hit Los Angeles today (6 days in, I think, so not bad?).

Couldn't pass up the Pulse for $17, and the husband couldn't pass up the purple Icon for $18 lol
Gonna love your pulse I'm thinking of getting another.

Considering I still just have a squeeze/coral combo going on, I'd better love it in comparison lol

Just ordered a wraith earlier too. About to have a decent atty shortage again lol (mentioned husband may steal the wraith though. He's been eyeballing the tiny pink pico awfully hard and using it when he's at home. I think something larger and less girly has a huge spousal theft potential lol)

lol, that Wraith has some real weight to it, and a good solid feel. Hope you both like it!

Did you look at ecig city . com? They had the Wraith for $30

Is where I ended up ordering from. Couldn't find the damned thing anywhere else anyway lol
That is a nice mod and the TC is pretty decent. I was going to order a second one but my idea was derailed! Now you'll need to try the Origen Little, but save yourself the aggravation and get the Shen Ray one, unless you want the authentic.

What bottles do you guys recommend for the wraith? I just ordered one last night. I want to give sqounking another try and couldn't beat the price.
I have a hadaly on its way to use on the wraith already. Now the "fun" waiting part.

Update, short version - now running that Armor clone with an old stand-by build: dual, 27g kanthal, 2.5mm, 5.5 wraps for about 0.44 ohms.
MUCH better than when I tried the single. Not dazzling, but a decent draw, nice vape, nice and compact...and the AFC works especially well, a smooth easy turn. Currently sitting on a Coppervape...

I tried a copper vape the 1st time I tried sqounking and could never get that thing working very well.
Did you modify it at all? I had troubles with it just being a very weak hit. It was my 1st mech, but I got the higher amp Batts and checked my coils on a ohm meter. I liked it at .2 ohms but it was so inconsistent (probably me being a noob) it got shelved rather quickly.

Some folks have done a little fix with the screw that is the firing pin/contact to solve inconsistent firing. But personally? I have three of them, and they all have performed flawlessly right out of the box. It's frankly a shocking success for a $30 chinese device...

Out of curiosity, what was the fix? I have that issue with mine.

Also does anyone know where I can get some of those beauty rings with spending $20 each?! Damn!

I know the first thing to check is that the bottle is screwed on securely - that places leverage on the contact strip...
I don't have the info on the screw - anyone? Anyone?

Rings...there's a limited selection on the chinese sites. Some weird ones, and a nice one for the O-16 (16mm to 22 I think) for like a buck, on fastech...
A lot of other ones do run $20ish.
For $20 though, you can get even an odd size from these guys - I did that once -

According to our friend @The Cromwell, the v1 repair kit from FT has a shorter replacement screw that does not bind and cause misfires like the OG can do (this is my understanding of what he has told me a few times)

Surprised he hasn't chimed in on this :p sure he will sometime soon

Another trick that I did,if you take the switch apart you'll see a small o-ring on the contact screw that touches the battery.Replace that o-ring with a slightly thicker one.I just dug through all the kayfun o-rings I had till I found one that was perfect.

Fasttech has a bunch of different beauty rings in different sizes.

Thank you, I didn't see any for 22mm atties other than to sit on an Ego or something. I'm looking for something like this:

Got an email about these through Alibaba. Anyone seen them yet? It's by a company called Komge and it's called the Keel.

Anyone with an Alibaba account want to organize a group buy? I sent them an email to get the latest price on an order of 10.

Looks to be copper contacts. The 510 looks very similar to the one in the Icarus clone on 3Fvape.

I requested a quote for an order of 10 pieces to see if I could organize a group buy, but they want $168 EACH. Nope, nope, and nope.

Another update on the NYX RDA. Turning the top cap blocks the side air, allowing use of only the top down airflow. Everything lines up right to align top airflow with the coils and misaligning the side airflow so it is blocked. Also while the side airflow holes look dangerously low, the actual cuts in the deck are ramps that go to 1-2mm higher than the holes (from memory) so it's not as bad as it looks.
