The HorizonTech Phantom

I am now reviewing the HorizonTech Phantom RTA. My erperiences with SMOKtech TVF 4, Uwell Crown Sub Ohm, Project Sub Ohm SauceCode, Innokin iSub, Herakles Sense, Aspire Titan, Aspire Atlantis Mega, Eleaf iJust2, Joytech Delta 2,  Kanger SubTank Plus, HorizonTech ArticTank and some clones. This gives me a rare insight on sub ohm tanks (Once I went sub ohm I never went back!). Today it’s the Phantom! I must first tell you that I purchased the tank from VaporDNA. They have great pricing, huge selection, and without a doubt the very best customer support that I have encountered on the Vape scene. I emailed them about an issue and received emails on a Saturday and Sunday from their support staff quickly and they resolved my problem in a timely and courteous manner. I will use nobody else in future transactions. I suggest you look them up for your vape needs (vapordna.com). The Phantom RTA is a dual chamber tank that holds 5 ml of e juice. In between the 2 chambers is a mechanical cooling system and a side fill slot that opens with a tight twist. It features a wide bore Drip Tip. The atomizer connector holds a 0.2 ohm stainless steel Dual vertical coil system that the company calls the BTDC II or Bottom Turbine Dual Coil II. It has a baffle to stop spit back and a recycling system that catches the vape moisture and returns it to the tank. It is made of 316 stainless steel and is manufactured with great precision as the tolerances are tight! The BTDC II coils are noticably larger than the BTDC coils used in HorizonTech’s Arctic tank and are not interchangeble. There are 4 windows in which you can prime them which are oblong in shape. Above each priming window is a circle notched out. HorizonTech says these are built into the coil as part of their patented moisture recycling system. To test this RTA  I’m using a JD Tech Stingray X (authentic) mechanical mod with a new, fully charged 18650 3.7 volt 30amp 2600mAH Sony Vtc5 battery.So, how does it vape? After priming the coil fully and allowing 15 minutes to properly wick the coils, I triggered the mod. The coils fired strong right away! The first few hits tasted strange as can be expected. After around 15 hits the flavor really came to life (I used Watermelon, Cantaloupe and Cotton candy in a 50/50 PG-VG ratio at 1.2% nicotine courtesy of my good friends at Vaporfi, they never disappoint…)!!! It produced a large volume of vapor with a great flavor. I am not a “cloud chaser” but if you are, I think you are in luck! Something that the ArcticTank BTDC coils did when new, was to produce an “off” flavor for 5ml of e liquid. Not with the BTDC II coils. Maybe it is the stainless steel coils that make the difference. I prefer 0.2 ohm and used this with both coils. But If you inspect the coils side by side, the BTDC II coils are larger in diameter, the stainless steel wire is a heavier gauge, they appear to not be as tightly spun and are taller. For those who like to rebuild out there, the Phantom comes with a perfectly sized winding post, Japanese organic cotton pads, a rebuild adapter and even a coil to play around with. It also comes with a spare BTDC II 0.2 ohm coil (the only sub ohm coil offered for the Phantom). On the positive side after 2 weeks of use, it is an improvement on the ArticTank, it produces a great tasting vape, the coils get to vaporizing temperature remarkably fast, it produces a large volume of vape, the vape is cool, there is no spit back, no leakage if you lay down and vape, it has a high storage capacity, it’s engineering is second to none and you don’t have to take apart your RTA to fill it as you can lay it level, open the fill port and fill away! What freedom! Finally a RTA you don’t have to take apart every time to fill. I’m quite sure the other manufactures are scrambling to catch up. The negatives are its size (very tall, about 1/2 inch taller than even the 5ml ArcticTank variant), the BTDC II only comes in 0.2 ohm, it gets warm around the coil head area, it drinks e liquid and really drains a battery fast if you chain vape like I do. My final verdict is 4.75/5.0 stars. HorizonTech has a beast! It is priced at $37.99 on VaporDNA’s site. In my opinion it is a game changer. At that price you will soon see the competitors see how many units they sell. It may even bridge the gap between RDA and RTA, it’s that good. I have switched to using the Phantom by HorizonTech as my go-to RTA , and until  I see anything close to this device it will stay this way! In conclusion, I would like to thank my good friends at JD Tech for providing me with the wonderful Stingray X so I could really test the Phantom, my friends at Vaporfi for the e liquid and my new go-to vape equipment store of choice, the wonderful people at VaporDNA who helped me with an order I screwed up, even though a lesser company probaby wouldn’t have. Until next time, get your fix the safe way, vape it!

Does the United States carry out policy on behalf of corporations?

First, let me say that I realize this is quite a shift in tone from previous posts. Also, it is a subject that will most certainly bring unwelcome attention to myself from the government agencies that spy out people such as myself,  because posting this will categorize me as an enemy of the state. So too do I realize that you may be able to write what you please, but you can expect repercussions and reprisals for your writing. I know that the First Amendment now exists only on paper and we are all living in a police state. I feel a moral responsibility to do something with the knowledge I have. I can no longer sit back and let my good fellow Americans be happy little slaves. If one person is awakened by what I am about to write I will have accomplished my goal because maybe that person will take their knowledge and spread it as I am. The answer to the question I posed is yes, but not in the way you may think. Every citizen has said the Pledge of Allegiance so many times that it is beyond us to count it. Say it in your head. OK, now back up. Say this part again: “…and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands… Note the use of the word “Republic”. The pledge never mentions a Democracy. You live and always have sworn your allegiance to the Democratic Republic of the United States of America! It only gets worse from here! This is because the U.S government no longer exists in the way most people think. The government no longer exists to serve these corporations (Monsanto, US Fruit, ect…) because it has been infiltrated and corrupted so completely that there is no longer any difference. These enormous multinational corporations now have their own government and it’s called the United States of America and they will shape their foreign policy to their benefit through negotiations, trade agreements, assassination, coup d’ etat, and if necessary, military interventions. I will explain briefly.

Our country was doomed over 100 years ago (possibly before) when, in 1913 the Federal Reserve Bank was formed. The government no longer controled the money. If the government needs more money, they must request it from this private banking cartel and trade it at interest for Government Bonds. Each dollar circulated comes with debt. Every time that Bank Note changes hands more debt is accumulated. The “Fed” uses a banking scheme called “Fractional Banking”. It is a pyramid scheme. You see, it is called fractional because, when your bank gives you a loan for $10,000 they only have to have 10% of the value of that loan. By law, this actually makes it illegal but this is a subject for a later post. Your bank continues to do this over and over, getting interest on money they never actually had. All bank notes exist based on debt. If all the loans ever given were satisfied there would be no money in circulation! I needed to touch on this for future reference. I realize this appeared to be off topic but it is important for later use because like all pyramid schemes, they die out.

Now, back to the corporations. I’m going to skip over some really important events, such as the events in Iran in the 40’s and all of the outrages committed in Latin America. Basically, the banking cartels (including the World Bank which is run by the U.S., the U.S. being the only country holding veto power) go into a country with some resource to exploit at the behest of multinational corporations and with the negotiation of U.S. diplomats offer a large high interest loan. This should really not be considered an offer. If the loan can’t be negotiated then this is where a CIA backed coup is initiated to depose the non receptive leader of the country in question. If this doesn’t work as desired a “Jackal” is sent (basically this is a person or persons who act on the behalf of CIA but with no obvious links since this is highly illegal, not that it matters) to kill the said leader so as to install a more receptive “puppet” leader. This usually works. If not then the military comes into play, more on this later.

With that being said, I’m going to skip to the Gulf War. Saddam Hussein (a former CIA operative) didn’t want to renegotiate the price of oil he was selling. After a CIA backed coup attempt failed, an excuse to send in troops was needed. Perfect, there was Kuwait! But Saddam was still a valuable. He provided some amount of stability in the region. This is why, in the Gulf War, it was never planned to take Baghdad. It was thought that he would get the message after his country was crippled. Wrong! Not only did he not get the message but committed a horrible sin. He began selling his crude oil for EUROs! This could not be tolerated. As it stands now, the only thing that gives our beloved $ any value is that OPEC only sells oil on the open market for “petrodollars”. If not for this our entire economy  completely and utterly collapses. If another country wants oil, they must send real assets to the U.S. in exchange for the almighty dollar. So under the pretext of WMD (weapons of mass destruction) the military kicked down every door in the country, held a mock trial of Saddam after he was located and executed him. The very man that the installed into power to begin with!

A while back, Iran began exchanging crude oil for gold to countries like China and Russia. If one country does this it sets a bad example to OPEC because they can make more wealth from gold than Petrodollars. So we, here in the states are being shown how Iran is developing weapons of mass destruction. It is now a big problem to the U.S. and a pretext to war because the U.S. isn’t getting their cut! But war is tricky with Iran because of Russia and China. A war against Iran is the same as war with Russia and China. How far will the U.S. go to protect the Petrodollar system? If the Petrodollar goes, so goes this entire evil and corrupt system! The Corporate interests and by extension the entire corrupted and infiltrated government is in crisis! This is why we live in a police state. Our government knows what is on the horizon. They will need to maintain “law and order” at home while they fight external enemies abroad. They will take this as far as necessary. All out WAR!!! They have already declared war at home against us, soon they will play their hand overseas. My only hope is that the strategy the government has for it’s citizens is foiled by military and law enforcement, that are put here to slaughter us as citizens, realize the truth. They are slaves tasked with doing horrible things to other slaves! If this applies to you that are reading this, please follow your conscience. Don’t get into fighting your brothers and sisters on their own land. Show where your true loyalty lies! Don’t risk your lives for a slave’s wage for your slave owners! As for me, I’m prepared but I am not a violent person. However, if backed into a corner where the choice of the safety of those dear to me is in jeopardy, well let’s say I’ve made up my mind as to how I will address that issue a long time ago. I would just rather not have to make the choice.

If anybody wishes to add to or correct anything you feel is inaccurate, please do so. Also, sources I used to give this summary above were double checked for accuracy. I purposely left out the events of 911. This event saddens me because so many people died in this Red Flag operation.

The “Christian fish”

Everybody has seen this:

Have you seen this over and over and wondered what it means? The Ichthys or what is more commonly referred to as the “Christian Fish” is on millions upon millions of cars. Even if you don’t know what it really is a symbol of, you can be sure that churches and vendors that sell this image are making a ton of money selling it! I’m also very sure that most people who proudly display it haven’t the slightest idea what it truly is or symbolizes other than what they were told it is.

According to tradition, the early Christians used this symbol to help identify their fellows, mark meeting places and identify tombs of Christians because of the persecution towards Christians at hands of the brutal and oppressive Romans. Is this true? Well, yes in a way. It was used by Christians but not exclusively and probably not the Christians most people would associate themselves with. Bare with me as I try to simplify this some. I have researched this previously and some of the recent sources I have read were incomplete.

This was a pagan symbol long before the notion of Christianity was conceived. It was the symbol for the offspring of a pagan goddess and represented the “womb”. It is true that early Christians used it too. But because this symbol would be widely recognized, it would take a great leap of imagination to think of it as some secret “Christians only club” secret password or identifying handshake of sorts. The Christians that made a practice of this were Gnostics. I know, that’s difficult to swallow but it is true. You see, around the time of Jesus’s birth something also happened for those “Pagans” too. His birth ended a 2150 year “age of the ram”. This ushered in the age of “Pisces”. Since at this very early point in Christianity there was a lack of consensus as to what it meant to be Christian and how to worship (A lot like it is now! … Before the Council of Nycea and a consensus was attempted which the Bible was arbitrarily formed by imperfect MEN, all with agendas. Such agendas included minimizing a woman’s role in the new faith and removing Gospels and other books from the bible that were contradictory or otherwise problematic to a certain theme … a lot more on this in the future as it directly challenges the Divine nature of the bible), so some early Christians combined the old with the new (religion) and pagan elements began to slip into the belief system. The Ichthys, whether it be the offspring of a pagan goddess that represents fertility or just an acknowledgement of the age of Pisces is hardly Christian at all. And because so many people of that age would have recognized it to mean one thing or another, the idea that it was a sort of code among Christians is laughable. In my opinion, Christians who have one need to examine what it really means. You just jumped on a clever marketing bandwagon! When I see one, I am extra careful around that person’s vehicle because I consider them to be either ignorant or stupid and in either case it’s dangerous to be too close to someone like that! I challenge you to dig a little deeper. Let me know what you find out. I will read and respond to any and all comments. Chat soon!

Does Christianity even bring Christians together?

Have you ever wondered how many Christian denominations there are. My best research came up with staggering figures. The numbers were vastly different depending on the source. I averaged the numbers from 10 different sources and this is what I came up with…Christianity consists of 6 major ecclesiastico-cultural blocs, divided into 300 major ecclesiastical traditions, composed of over 33,000 distinct denominations in 238 countries, these denominations themselves being composed of over 3,400,000 worship centers, churches or congregations. Over 2.2 billion people associate themselves with one of these “brands”. I was blown away. The first idea that came to me was something I remember hearing before. A church divided is no church at all. Don’t forget, most of these 2.2 billion people believe that their’s is the only true church! If you are a believer, what do you think Jesus thinks about this current mess and make no mistake it is a mess. I can think of a few other things to call it but “mess” will suffice for now. I will take this opportunity to make my first stand on this blog. Not only does Christianity not bring humanity closer, it doesn’t succeed in bringing Christians together. Much to the opposite, it even divides Christians further and further apart! I am not blogging to single out Christians or cause problems for Christians. It just so happens that this is the religion I have long standing connections to and intimate knowledge of. I’m sure that this story is very similar with the other religions of the world. If I spoke of the religions I know little to nothing of, that would be ignorant and borderline stupidity. Do you share my thoughts or do you have a differing opinion? I welcome all view points and I will keep an open mind. Please let your voice be heard. This may be my blog but I also consider it to be your forum. Please, just be respectful and allow for others to relay their opinion. No vulgarity or dirty name calling will be permitted here. This behavior only shows your ignorance and would probably serve only to prove the point to which you are trying to counter.

Christianity, does it bring humanity together or further divide us?

My first ever blog post yesterday was a success, in that I proved to myself that I too can create a blog. I didn’t receive a comment or single view but it did feel good to “get the monkey off my back”, so I couldn’t be any more pleased!!! I leave the questions in the first post open for debate but I am going to spice things up a little. Does Christianity bring humanity closer together or does it further divide us? Please note the careful wording in the question. I said “humanity” in the question.

You have to start somewhere!

I’m just starting out and have a number of ideas for topics that I may use for this forum. I’m beginning to see a future need for more than one blog. In the meantime, I believe it would be wise to start a simple conversation and see where it may lead. Let’s start from the beginning. I was raised from birth as the son of “preacher” in a fundamentalist christian sect. This has had a profound impact on my life, both good an bad. Does anyone have a similar experience and if so, would you say it was mostly positive or negative? Please feel free to voice your opinion what ever the case. Also, explain why you answered. As in my case, has this answer changed over the years with evolving prospective? I would very much enjoy a chance to exchange ideas with you. I will match your openness and honesty with that of my own. So, let me know what you think! I am very much looking forward to my very first comment. Why not let your’s be my first? Thanks!
