Thank you! It’s actually been awhile since I’ve used bigger mods lol

It’s funny when you think back every body wanted the big mods nowadays they want smaller more compact devices with the power of the big mods like mobile phones they wanted smaller phones nowadays the phones are growing in size again more emphasis on screen sizes now vape devices are starting to grow to contain bigger batteries and were starting to see more mods hitting the market again.
