I got my tsunami yesterday and got it built. I was concerned at first by the height of it, but I built using dual 24g, 5/6 wrap, 3mm at .3 ohms and wicked with rayon. This one has perfect airflow for me. I like wide open dl hits with a hint of restriction and this one's got it. The flavor is exceptional and it sure does chuck the clouds! Another thing I'm impressed about is the fact that it's such a quiet atty! My smaller atties always make a lot of noise, snapping, crackling and a little popping, and sounds kind of like the oxygen machines in a hospital, but I get none of that out of this one. The deck is incredibly easy to build on with the dual velocity style posts with huge holes that will support any kind of build you want to throw at it, and grub screws that will hold it in place perfectly. This one's a winner!

Finally got a chance to play with the tsunami. This thing is great very similar to my bf 22mm Kennedys must get the wicking just right but when you do it vapes great. Flavor is better than expected and it definitely pumps out the vapor. Dual 24g 3mm tiger wire .2ohms. You did great work on this one Roscoe it squonks so smooth. Great job thanks for all that you do.

Just curious how y'all are wicking your NarDA's?

This is my build so far. I might throw a Clapton in there. But I'm unsure how it'll run on my dripbox.

well i got the old face plate ground/filed out and it press fits in there perfectly.just need some epoxy of sorts to set it in permanant.only bummer was the arbor on the dremmel messed up about 1inch length on the aluminium.but the dna200 faceplate has hid most of my screwup.i should get my chip and battery(lipo) tomorrow,now im really nervous.

the grinding and cuttin part was actually easy.wish i had bought the 30$ steamcrave mod...dangit...id be building 2 of these if i had.im pretty sure im hooked on modding now....CRAP!when i took the old chip out and was looking at it.i was really surprized how simple the wiring is.4 wires2 to the batt try and 2 to the fire button...i think.

thanks to subohmies and fishwater for answering all my bunches of pm's.i almost talked myself out of doing this.one of them 3 battery squonk converions sound challenging now...lol.i was so happy the first time i rebuilt a kanger head...and it worked!

this is even more rewarding...but a bit more expensive though...speaking of which,where the money saving part they spoke of when they said quit smoking!LOL.this is still way more fun then the smoking could ever had been!also wanted to let everyone who got 1 of the chinarda's that i bought some new SS allenhead screws for mine but had to buy 100 of them.shoot me a pm if your interested in switching from the flathead screws.

Thanks to you I did! I love it, I have to do some final fit & finish but I'm really pleased with it.

Nothing wrong with the screen, it was the pic for some reason
