Roscoe, just received my black Tsunami and narda clear cap. All perfect. Ended up building the Tsunami with dual 316l 26/30 claptons, 3mm 6 wrap on my brass CC and it's just chucking the fog! Nice job on the conversion! The narda cap was a bit tight getting it on there, but it's on and looking cool! Thanks for all of it;).

Did you swap the orings that came with the bell cap? They are considerably thinner[emoji6] still a bit snug but betterer

I'm thinking about keeping my remaining stock of tsunami for my vapeageddon stash.....if I could use only one atty for the rest of my life it would be the one[emoji6]

I don't blame you there. it's a good one for sure. I am pretty much set up except for maybe some nic. Not too worried about VG or PG, flavoring. Wire for coils we can get, I'm sure. I have a lifetime plus some supply of wicking. I would like a few more mods, though. I'm going to pick up a couple more tanks, too. Got on the Boreas and it's a kicker tank! I have about 3 dozen atties, all bottom feeders. I think I just need to stock up on spare parts for all my stuff.

I just wish there was a touch more room for wicking, get rid of the dual airflow, and make one slot. Anything over 2.5mm coils and the wicking is super tight, even though I do have 3mm coils in mine. I just don't know how you can use clapton on a mech mod lol. I have 26x32 ss clapton wires and the ramp up is like four seconds on a fresh battery in my cc mod.

I'm not worried about mods and attys myself. Can build the mods and...simple attys too if I had to[emoji6] I'm increasing my nic storage now. Approximately 5 yrs worth in the freezer mixing at my current 3mg strength. 2 more liters will take me well past 10 yrs......

I have no wicking issues but there should be a little more room for its not cramped. But I still wanna use clapton on a single battery mech without crazy ramp up. Ideas?
Have you tried a 26g ni80 core with 32g kanthal outer? If you can get the resistance down around .2ish it should light pretty fast. Need a good battery too.

My initial ramp up is a little long, but it stays warm and ramps up quick if I don't put it down for a half hour. I'm wanting to get that new Kanger 160W squonker when it comes out. This atty should work like a charm on that at about 100W. But it does throw out some clouds and flavor, even on a CC.

I'm running mine at .5 ohm at 8+ volts so 120-140w. Best vape to date for me. Not hot at all with all the air the tsunami has.

Running the same build in my mutank and it's pretty good as well. Not as much room for a large much surface area build in the mutank though[emoji20]

I'm running my tsunami at .3 ohms. I used a half rope of rayon in each coil. Luscious flavor. I have mutank also, but have set it aside for now as I have 2 Boreas which I'm running dual fused ss Claptons at .22 and .18 ohms on my RX200's. I really need a bottom fed regulated squonker so I can properly power up high demand atties like these tsunamis.

I know a certain fish who will have just what you need very shortly [emoji6] also the new kanger offering looks promising. Me....I'm gonna stick with my mechs. Everything I need to fix em can be bought locally or machined at home[emoji4]

I was thinking about trimming back and getting rid of most mechs, but not now! I really do like regulated though for the power.

I just got the new Avocado 24 and Griffin 25, so I'm hoping those get me through the apocalypse, as far as non-bf toppers. You guys try either of those ranks yet?

I don't have either, but do have the Griffin 22, a mutank, an MT, 2 TFV4's, Gemini, Alleria and a few other tanks. I have 6 regulated mods, and 13 squonkers and a boat load of bf atties. I love the regulated mods, but I know they aren't forever, and that's why I won't get rid of any of my mechanical mods. In fact, I'm going to round up parts for everything just to keep it all up and going. I am definitely going for the Kanger 160W squonker because I really want a regulated squonker, but not at the price others have gone for. I just need to stock up a bit on nic. I figure just one liter of 100mg, cut to 3mg will last me between 4 and 5 years. I have a liter of 48mg now. Other than nic, I think I have things pretty well covered to last for a long time.

Really want to try the griffin 24. Only gripe I have about the mutank is the juice capacity. Fill the dang thing 4 times a day[emoji15] ......I might vape too much

That's why I love the Boreas, with it's 8ml capacity, and the easiest deck ever to build on. And the flavor from it rivals any dripper in existence.

Any trouble with leaking, that's the one issue I always seem to have with rta's never can get the wicking right.
