The Power Air
I first got the Epic one of the Vanguard Power Air, it was very hard to fall in love with it for me but my friend loves it. While waiting for this one to go back on sale, I got the invikta labs 003 and love it but I wanted power so I just purchased this one and fell in love. It definitely has power and I can tell the difference. Excited to continue using it.
