Haha too true! such a shame the final season of that show ruined the entire story for me somehow...
That all makes sense, although I moved on from that bronze wismec ages ago and think giving the Zs Red Panda shoes is more about performance than color coordination and/or ergonomics. Oh, I remember you buying the loud orange Ravage - that mod sure came in some ecig colorways didn't it?
Haha yeah remember I was originally totally turned off by it until I discovered the purple color and then ended up liking the black!
And yes you are right, but like I said the performance has been fine, it is more the unit itself, which was actually purchased purely for the aesthetics of the purpleheart and particularly on the bronze mod... You are correct the performance would be better on the red panda mods, and they would be more ergonomic, however I have too many Splinter Z, and it is not even one of my most used vape anymore (enjoying Milaana3 more now if you can believe it) so I am not looking to use the PH Z anymore frequently, as such I do not mind it being on a lesser mod mostly unused in a drawer or box even now
I'd be curious how much better we can get the purple heart dialed in.
The more open ZV1/ZV2 definitely have their appeal and in use what I notice most between my customs and China Zs is the enforced slower draw of the customs. Before the Red Panda revolution I definitely had the experience of my Chinese Zs being more even and consistent so maybe the mod/firmware upgrade will bring some performance improvements to the table...
Well to be fair I have not used my custom Z much, as I said, in a while, but I do not recall noticing much difference based on draw restriction in use honestly? I'm sure the PH would run better once I set it up on the red panda mods, even on an Arctic Fox mod (my SplinterV2 is still doing fantastic set up that way on a P80, I used that again a little while ago for the first time after I used the PH Z on the bronze mod, and I was quite impressed with the performance!) but again I just have no real interest in the near future, feeling temptation to set up the canary Z though as I said, so that will come first and we'll see if the result leaves me wanting to do the same for the PH Z then!
Anyway yeah I remember you had that experience with the ZV1 and the ZV2 compared to your custom Z, that is a big part of what drove me to grabbing those as well this past year when I was able to, one of the final final ever for each of them, however now that I have both dialed in pretty well on the red panda mods and plenty of experience with them, I don't know if I agree? Again, I obviously have to set up the Canary Z to compare more directly, but that canary Z just running in wattage, on the shitty G3D and even shittier cuboid before it, was easily the best of all of them, I'm talking the vapor quality and extraction, just tops!
So that also led me wanting more, and I still wish I had grabbed a second canary as backup, because really there is just variability and especially in the users themselves, like what we would need to do is for you to send me your splinters, then I would send you mine back with them I guess, shit like that is the only way we could figure out the variables, who knows! I mean it would be more fun to actually get together and try them all in person together...
Don't get me wrong I love using the ZV1 in temp control on the ravage, it just is not exact it's different, and the ZV2 on the Espeon is too, kind of like cold and hot versions (for example it often seems like the ZV1 is not extracting as deeply while the ZV2 is going too deep lol), but they have other subtle differences, I'm curious if things will change when I put the ZV2 back on the black ravage, which is still set up without locked resistance like you have yours and how I originally had the ZV1 on it working well, but it was when the ZV2 arrived and I just tried to swap it on to go to town, that I discovered the settings were not working out anymore... So then I had to do the whole process I documented here, realizing each one was need ing a pretty different locked resistance (like .39 for ZV1 and .41 for ZV2 but the specifics are in that original post) to get some consistent stability, but yeah they're still not exactly accurate per se? More enjoyable to use than the purpleheart on RX, though honestly that one might feel a bit more consistent and accurate... Maybe it's closer to the ZV1 than the ZV2? So yeah I am just feeling lazy, not wanting to go down the rabbit hole with the canary Z just yet, but I am tempted because I still love that damn Z, though I wish it was brand new again
