I just found an interesting photo in the russian forums here. This is referred to as "Nick V2 for UFS". I've no idea what Nick or UFS is, but it looks very interesting. Like a very fancy version of Reomizer. I've asked for more info on the same forum, will post if I get a response. In the meanwhile, the picture is here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...74-1080-1085-1082-1080-a-294.html#post8542220

According to original post, it's 14mm in diameter, and takes standard 510 drip tip

Hm-m-m...
This glorious descendant "Patriot for UFS" - rebuildable atomizer for UFS tank from Imeo. You can find it on a German site dampfauktion.de (in German only). Price 60 euros.
If you are interested in is the atomizer for tank, I would suggest to consider Killer 705 from House Of Mods.

The Killer looks killa!!. I see it has a hole in center bottome attachment post. Does that mean we can use them for bottom feeders, sans tank?

I'm totally new to bottom feeders, but thus far I've come across quite a few atty's or carto's that have the bottom center hole, but don't work whatsoever with my Reo Grand VV. They simply won't allow ejuice to enter through the underside. I will contact House of Mods though to see if anything they sell will work.

Thanks.

Even though the center post is unsealed and, used in tank, juice intake, where top screws onto bottom, can be closed to use as dripper I'm suspecting the bottom part doesn't have a hole going down to the center, unsealed positive post. Shouldn't be too hard to drill out the bottom part to allow juice to come up with the right tools (drill press and proper bit - SS all the way through as I understand) (and maybe a jury rigged gasket of sorts). Until I get one drilled out I'll use them in Phiniac and MiA1 tanks, and others, if Killers would only get here.

I love the simplicity of lines and the smallness of it.

And BTW.... in the Killer 705 thread, on ECF, several people have reported that the CE2 ceramic cups fit just fine. Only bummer is having to use non resistance wire, twisted onto resistance wire for coil area, but that's not that much trouble. NR wire, silver, can be purchased in most hobby stores, in jewelry making section.

The center is not sealed on the Killer 705. The airflow comes up through the centerpin and under the ceramic cup which has the hole to seat the cup on the pin. The air then flows over the coil from the underside. I've looked at a couple videos and read most of the Killer 705 thread. I'm planning on buying one for my VW BF. I've built a RBA from a CE2 and an RCA jack for my VW BF that is almost identical in design as the top portion of the Killer 705 (sans tank extension sleeve). I want this one because of the SS construction and size. I'm currently using the A7, but it's got so much open "head room" above the coil and it's sooo tall.

I now have in hand and using two Killer 705 on my REOs. More discussion and pictures in several reosmods threads. Another REOnaut just started a Killer 705 thread with great review.

It is a fabulous BF RBA but way too airy for me but easily tightened up by plugging the holes.

I've been asking for over a month on ECF main Killer thread and Facebook but no one responded if juice will feed from bottom. It most certainly does.

I like many things about this RBA especially its smallness and short cap and minimalist appearance. It's actually shorter than a standard 510 carto with its bottom carto adapter removed. Carto adapter not needed if it's used without tank.

Actually the air comes up from the two holes on post just like most common premade attys/carto (exceptions like 901 and 801 where air intake is in different place.)

Juice comes up from hole in center pin, atty connector. I've totally blocked off both post holes on my Killers and no air makes it through. Because the air holes are GIGANTIC the Killer is way too airy for me. Here's what I've done to partially close them off. Those are orthodontic elastics 1/8".

Glad to hear it bottom feeds. Looks like a nice tiny RBA. Not a fan of NR wire myself but like you said it's not a deal breaker.

It is tiny. I haven't rebuilt it yet but it looks simple enough. With shorty DT the Killer is not much taller than a standard 510 carto without any DT.

I highly recommend building coil about 0.5 ohms less than what you are used to using on pre-builts. This holds true for many of the BF RBAs.

Tha wha? That's very weird. I usually build my A7 at 1.7 ohm, and it seems to hit noticeably harder than the 1.7 shorty cartos. As in, if I lower the resistance any more, I think my lungs might pack up and leave me for someone who'd treat them nicer.

Dang, that is a short DT. Looks like one of my 22 caliber air rifle pellets with a hole it it!

I think a lot of it has to do with how one draws but also the particular RBA. I do several short draws. There probably is much variation in the higher or lower than normal ohm on different RBAs probably dependent on where the air comes from, and/or where coil is located, and/or wicking, and wetness of wick and/or, and/or how much room is around and above the coil, etc.

I've seen a lot of people (ECF and FB) report that they are building their coils lower resistance but that doesn't mean most people do.

Also it probably is device dependent.

I just rechecked my Killer and voltage (not under load) on VVG. Killer is 1.78 ohm. VVG is set on 4.28v and giving most excellent, slightly warm vape. On Mini REO 2.0, voltage 4.0 same Killer just wasn't doing it for me and it needed a bit more voltage to heat the coil for enough vapor. Only a slight increase in voltage needed. Interestingly each REO is delivering much different experience, close voltage, same juice. Very Interesting............. Opps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just now remembered that the juice in VVG bottle is same flavor but about 20% less PG than is in Mini. Maybe just that slight difference in PG/VG ratio is a bigger factor than I thought.

I'm betting the chimney can be cut down even further to allow for less headroom. Westamyx, would you mind snapping a pic with the top removed and laying to the side, so that the bottom of the chimney lies adjacent to where it would normally sit flush on the bottom, so that we can see how much headroom there is, please? TIA!

I just checked Infinity Pro with Stardust tank, 2.4 ohm (tank and coil have been water cleaned and dry burned about 4 times - our juice really gunks coils). Same juice as in Mini REO referred to above. Voltage (not under load) 4.7v. This vape is at the top of my tolerance for TH and gobs of vapor. So just one example of how different types of atty/tanks/carto can make a difference.

BTW.... DH and I used mostly Smoketech Resurectors XL and standard for past year, along with some attys. I like lower ohm than he does on 3.7v devices. I would sort through the boxes, testing, and take out the cartos for me that were 1.8 ohm or below and give him the higher ones. But ones that were over 2.1 ohm were too cool for him. Those went into the VV box.

Smoketech shorty cartos........... I got the lowest ohm ones I could get, early last year. I can't remember why but neither DH or I liked them. Funny as so many, many people love them. And we did try them on VV.
