If I had the funds, I'd buy a manta from the great reviews. But I dont. Only thing I'd be able to do is trsde my derringer + a few bucks for one that includes a drip tip.

I'm looking for another, myself. Unfortunately, JD isn't making any more, currently.

Nectar Nano alternates (to be filled after Facebook)(second dibs)

Just throwing this out there: im not doing anymore nectar Nanos. I forgot how much of a pain they are and even with all of the aggravation they still don't squonk half as well as the Micros. I will double down on my next order of micros. The nano and the micro both use the same top cap so the chamber is exactly the same the only difference is the clear blue section is 3mm wider which gives me twice as much room to transition the drain.



Well guess that bounces me off the list, ;)
I was mostly concerned with how I like to build super short wicks that don't even touch the deck with Readyxwick, so the micro seemed like I'd have plenty o' juice hanging around.

does anyone have one of the manta clones that Tom did way back?i have one on the way and just wondering what the diff is between them and the v2 other than the obvious that the v2 is authentic...right??appreciate any feedback their may be.

Only difference is post holes. Clone didn't line up parallel which makes it a little more difficult to build but nothing more. I have the clone, others which have both have confirmed other than build holes flavour etc exactly the same

I have one of the clones, as well as a couple authentics. The problem with the clones is that the post holes aren't parallel with each other. They are skewed off in different directions; which just requires a little extra fiddling with the coil legs, in order to get them mounted. Once set up, though, the clone vapes as well as the authentic. Internally, as for the 510 positive pin, Tom could answer better if there are any differences.

I have one of the original ones. Post holes are a tad askew but i've not had any problem doing a build. From the pics I've seen the authentics look to have phillips screws my one has grub screws.
The top on both seems tight so may need to have it on a mod to get top off.
Overall very nice.

Yes, the authentics I have came with Phillips screws. I think I'm going to replace them with grub screws, next time I have the caps off. I just like grubs better.
I did take one of the o rings out, this morning, in one of them. It makes removing and replacing the cap much easier.

I prefer grubs too. If you find out what size works, please share :)

I just saw this on Fat Daddy Vapes site:
Set of 6 M3, 6 M2.5, and 6 M2 hex keyed stainless steel grub screws. Very hard to find in SS!!! Even my regular factory refused to make it. They are $4.99.
Might be nice to keep around.

I sold my Nano, but after getting a micro non-bf in trade and learning the joys of a u-wick, I'm back on the Nectar train.

I cannot express my newfound atty happiness between Mantas and Vectors. Vectors @ .3ish, Mantas @ .4ish-.5ish, switching seamlessly between them throughout the day man. Huge, flavorful clouds one hit...smaller, super flavorful clouds the next. I'm enjoying vaping more than ever.

...cigarettes...tch.

If you need extras just ask... I will include whatever you need with your order. I have at least 100 of each size in stock at all times. I only order hex head grubs.

They're sooooo last millenium :)

Happy that you're finding the love with the Vector and Manta. I, too, love the former and will have the latter shortly. Given that you and I were (are?) both Derri fans, I'm really looking forward to having the Manta in my grubby mitts.

Hey Tom - any Manta V2 clones in stock? Checked the "stock" page but it looks to be out of date...?
I have 1 left. I was going through my inventory today and stumbled upon one. $51 shipped.

And yes, very out of date. I haven't send Turk an update in months.

When that Manta gets in your grubby mitts, you will love it. That is my prediction. :) it is roll-your-eyes-back-in-your-head flavor with no leaking whatsoever and a nice draw. As of right now, the V is my "I need a strong hit" atty and the Manta is my "I need to kick back and relax" atty. The D I have much love for but haven't hit one in a while and don't see myself doing so anytime real soon :)
