I called out Jai on the X Class review, the one SXmini showed the X Class does not have a sticker, it was actual carbon fiber and and few other things he embellished. This was on reddit, called Jai out as not being a reviewer, more of an entertainer and he actually responded and agreed. He said he never called himself a reviewer, his fans did which I call BS on but whatever. Jai just does stuff to go viral, I do find him entertaining but never take him seriously.
LOL, I really donāt take him seriously, itās just that sometimes you just need to see someone rant to make you feel better about yourself. Just watch a Nicholas Cage rant and see for yourself.
i actually emailed them and asked why the rise in shipping costs and here is the response i got
Dear customer
Express delivery was affected by the global epidemic
The cost of arranging warehouses increased and flights were grounded
The freight has temporarily increased
Currently, we donāt have free shipping
Fair enough with covid i suppose but hopefully its only temporary
sorry to keep bugging you with questions bro but can you tell me anything about the smoant laden?
Whats the AI smart ANT and buck-boost chip like in them?
Do you think theyre worth it at $35.99?
No idea on the Ladon. I think it was @Sprkslfly who mentioned that Smoant had a split in the company. They did make great chips in the past like what was used in the Cylon but donāt know how it is now. Doesnāt @Rocky02852 have a Ladon? Maybe he can chime in.
I did measure the juice capacity in the Revo but that was a few months ago. More around 6 to 7 MLS if I remember correctly. They were talking 10ml when it was first announced, some reviewers get pre-release mods that change in production runs.
Edit: I donāt mind the questions, happy to share what I know
I find it interesting that FT and Aliexpress can still ship as per normal, yet other suppliers want silly money for shipping, perhaps it is just another way of increasing their profits?
Sourcemore has the Ladon on sale (24 hr sale) for $29.69,
I paid 30 bucks and think the shipping was about 5 bucks
.

Iāve been carrying the Ladon lately more than the Cylon, as far as the chip, thatās above my pay grade, I just use Watt mode, works Fine.
The Ladin is smaller and great in the hand, only con for me is the fire button is a pain IMO, itās a small rocker and you have to push in at the top of button to fire also so sleek I find myself sometimes trying to press on the wrong side of mod to fire , also (nit picking) there is no battery ribbon to remove the cells. Other than that I would recommend it
Yep, and while the hardware (chips, transistors, etc) still seems decent enough, the firmware appeared to have gone down hill. Bearing in mind that my frame of reference is the Charon Mini.
The splinter group formed Rincoe.
Thatād be my suggestion as well (look to owners of more recent production units for further input). I havenāt picked up anything from Smoant since the Charon Mini, so I canāt help.
yeah ive been using the expedited shipping option for about $5 with FT and having orders arrive in 2 to 2 and half weeks
Im pretty sure some airmail services were halted and were being shipped by sea instead.
I noticed that. Iām looking for a 21700 squonker. I think I switched my focus away from the Topside 90W squonk to the Artic Dolphin Anita 100W. Anybody here ever try both? If so please share your thoughts.
I just heard back from them yesterday, told me they would ship in 3 to 4 days. They did say in stock, great prices but they must sell stuff then order, not exactly in stock to me.
I had the Anita for about a week. It fit great, was very light but leaked like all hell. Donāt know if it was just mine or if they were flawed from the manufacturer, but I ended up giving it away. I donāt have a topside, but Iāve heard good things.
Thanks for the feedback. Not what I wanted to hear . Iām tempted to get it and see if it leaks . Did you have a kit that came with a RDA? The only things I can think of is the interface between the RDA 510 and the mod 510 not meshing, a bottle tube that doesnāt fit right in the bottle lid, a bottle tube that doesnāt fit right in the 510 tube, or a bottle leak from a defective bottle.
