I guess GA would be piney woods, car exhaust (Atlanta, you know), and more fried chicken, plus grits.

That's why you have to buy 'em. There is a diamond in the ruff somewhere - the holy grail. Right?
It appeared that he had never even opened it up....
I threw my standard 316L 2x28/36 fused clapton in one of the Wasp Nanos I own. I had to space the coil in order to get my leads in the posts cleanly. I have to agree that it’s too much air for me with this build. For me, the could have cut the airflow in half and I probably would have loved it.
I’ll give try some 26g for the core, but I feel like ramp up time will be an issue.

I use a 8 wrap 3mm 25 ga SS paralel coil in the Wasp fits perfect and works great.
short coils do not work best in the wasp.

Yer the Pulse isn't too bad at all, I like Tony B and his intentions seem relatively sincere. However if given the choice between a Pulse and a good quality clone of something like a Flave, O-atty, Narda, Entheon, Sentinel I would pick the latter.
Same goes for Mike Vapes Icon.. It's not an inherently bad RDA but I certainly wouldn't choose it over a more well thought out and better designed cloud chucker like a Goon or Apocalypse (again a good quality clone is fine)
I just don't feel like cheap authentic China RDAs are as well thought out as the ones released by dedicated modders and small enthusiast companies, nor do I think that adding some YouTube reviewers name to it makes it any better it's just a way of giving some obscure far Eastern manufacturer some Western credibility .
Did Mike Vapes design the Icon?...I very much doubt it, Vandy Vape probably sent him a choice of three designs to choose he ticked a box to confirm his endorsement and what do ya know the Icon was designed by Mike Vapes

That lands you at about what, .18 ohms? No issues with ramp up?
That, sir is a big ass coil. 8wraps parallel is really like 16 wraps. You mean normal coils don’t work best in the Wasp lol!!

.22 on the coil.
I run mine at 27 watts - 30 watts and I have no complaints with ramp up.
You could use 26 ga SS and it would likely work out around .3 ?
tried shorter coils and claptons but the parallel 8 wrap is king.
also I install with legs on top. And lift the coil up about 1/3 - 1/2 of it's diameter after installing in the wasp.
here is an extra coil I wrapped. The color worked out wonky in the shot

Pulled the tip out and you know what?
It whistles without the tip.

Hmmm, I didn’t notice a whistle with mine but I have mine about half closed.

Wasn't that called Subox?
Not (Kbox)
Not the point again...Sorry but I just don't have any $$$ to buy another damn charger.Especially when I'd rather spend my $$$ on something I do need.Like more coils for my Aspire Atlantis Mega.Even more coils for my Asvape Cobra.Big bottle of (Black Fairy by Good Life Vapor) and a huge bottle of (Gaia by Heather's Heavenly)
!! SICK !!This has to be the smoothest Alien I've made in a long while lol...

Could you explain the legs up/legs down thing.
I appreciate the Wasp more now, but it’s still too airy even when closed down to a sliver for my tastes. Although it’s not gone in the useable pile for me now. Thanks!

I'd pass on that Banana flavored e-liquids just aren't for me.They either taste like (banana runts) or (plantain chips)
I know right.
You'd think Phil Busardo would've taken this little RDA to heart but NOOOO.
The fucker is all quite on this 1.
Awwww, maan! You forgot that already? Surely you're not that old!
I was saying may be they'd fit your current charger.

Sorry I couldn't help myself...Cheers!
@CrazyChef v2.0 , what's the verdict? Do you like the Therion?
You forgot Husky Hot Mess and Frostbite FeverLe Salmon Carcass and au de Outhouse
Should sell like hotcakes
Sweet looking little setup there.Yes I know it is a mechanical but it still looks like a winner to me.Well damn, Crom. I pride myself on being able to admit when I’m wrong and well... I was wrong!

Love it! The only drawback is that I can't use builds with a lot of metal mass because it's only a single battery - it'll drain it in a couple of hours. Shouldn't be a deterrent to most people though, as most coils have a pretty good battery life.
The more I see that Kanger DripBox the more tempted I get to buy 1.
Does it have any issues I should be aware of?
Naaahhh! Too easy!
The little magnetic door under the juice bottle comes off when you pull it from pocket and such.
And there is no place to get replacements.
I was going to have to mention wide spread legs for the Wasp....
I get it. I just care if it works not who designed it. But yeah I agree the reviewer designed rdas have got out of hand but one sees the other making money and they want some it's the American way lol. Hell I have a clone and authentic hadaly and had to scratch a c on bottom of clone so I can tell which is which.Yer the Pulse isn't too bad at all, I like Tony B and his intentions seem relatively sincere. However if given the choice between a Pulse and a good quality clone of something like a Flave, O-atty, Narda, Entheon, Sentinel I would pick the latter.

Non-adjustable 510 connection
Like @The Cromwell said, but then again, if you loose the little fucker in the first couple of weeks (like I did), you have nothing to worry about....errr, as long as you make sure the bottle stays in place.
Yes, but that seems to be the majority of squonk mods.

I own over 40 squonkers and the Kanger DB2 and 160 are the only ones not adjustable
Yes I am apparently.
My 18650's are a very tight fit in both my chargers so I doubt it.
Oh FFS how do I keep managing to forget this stuff.
And thanks for the refresher course...Cheers!
That's what I had for dessert last night...Cheers!
Coppervape is adjustable? Pico Squeeze?
My disguiser squonk is not adjustable.
Neither is that Geyscano piece of crap.
Hmm maybe I'll pass on it then.Especially since I just spotted a Council of Vapor Wraith for $31.I'm seriously wondering which has worse door issues.

Coppervape is quite adjustable, use pliers to hold the stem and use a screwdriver to twist it up or down
Pico is self adjustable
Awww! y'all were talking about the coils.....got it!
Spread them like butter on toast...Sorry I couldn't help myself!
