I've got too many excellent atties that my 2 nuppins have been sitting and will be leaving me when I get some time to deal with that. Hopefully my Stumpy will be heading my way soon. I picked up a manta that at first thought was just alright, but that thing is a true flavor machine. The airflow wide open is about as restricted as I ever want to go. So, I have really high hopes for Stumpy being a great atty.

I'm with you on the Manta....wide open ...very satisfying and great flavor. Does it really get better? I suppose so but for now I'm a happy camper. I love the top airflow and the slot for the airflow at the coil. I think spreading the air smoothly over the coil rather than blasts from individual holes might be part of the magic.

That and the drastic reduction in chamber size. That really concentrates the vapor so that it's a very full, flavorful hit.

Do uh what now? Confused....

. I mean the legs go in at an angle, and then when I tighten the screws the coils get distorted even with the coils held in place. Any ideas to help? I'm loving the atty I just wish I could alleviate this small issue. I'm sure it's obviously something I'm doing wrong.

Don't have a Manta (But just looked at a pic), but if you are trying to center the coils maybe a 90 degree bend in one of the legs will help

 

[steven445]

That might do it, anyone else that has one want to chime in?

 

[TheDigital99]

Steven445, post a pic of your build...

 

[steven445]

It's fine after I Squeezed the coils with ceramic tweezers but I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that because the coils were nice and tensioned. I am just looking for tips for my next build.

Oh wow, very impressed with this atty. I threw in dual 26g 8 wrap 2mm and the first thing I realized is how friggin beautiful this atty looks when it's all put together. Pics didn't really appeal to me but in person, dude, this is a stunning atty. The vapor output is nothing like I'm used to but I ain't no cloud chaser anyway. The flavor, even off a quick first build, is really really really good. REALLY good. It's pretty much right there with my Vector build if not beyond and the Vector build is ripping with those parallels...

I think I've got the AFC set up right for wide open dual coil. I don't mind the draw at all. Using a Leroux drip tip.

The height of my coils: the top of the coil is on the same plane as the base of the screw/top of the post if that makes sense. It was an eyeball measurement so not sure how well placed it is. I imagine bringing the coils a bit closer to the deck would improve flavor further as well.

I've hit it maybe ten times but I absolutely love it. I actually rather like the tighter-ish draw, and it's not that tight anyway. I also sort of like getting less vapor. I don't think I care one way or the other how much vapor comes out...I just care about the way my lungs feel when inhaling. It's not per se throat hit I'm after but a nice dense lung fill. This seems to accomplish that well without loads and loads of vapor (still more than adequate though!)

This Manta will undergo new builds but it will probably not leave the Woodvil anytime soon. I see a place for both the Vector and Manta in my life. But I think Wakonda's begging for Manta.

ETA it is my favorite build deck of any atty I've used. Dual post is a bit finicky getting built at least for my first time but once built they're perfectly centered, great wicking, and, well, looks purty.

All that and no build pic?

 

[steven445]

I know one thing though. I love the manta!!!!

Can some one tell me what kind of posts are in the Stumpy's? (Phillips, Hex) just want to be prepared when mine comes.

Hex, but I'm not sure of the exact size. The driver I used is at home, unfortunately.

very nice build!!

If you find out, could you let me know?? Thanks
