6'1", 210lbs myself (only 10 lbs above my natural hockey playing weight). Hmmm... I'm sensing a trend with the Catfish menfolk.

6'5" 300ish.

Quite off topic but I had to share...
Been seeing all you stumpy folks rocking your single coils and started feeling left out of all the fun (no room for stumpy in my budget...). So I got to thinking I should try one out in my Apollo. Well a couple hours and some sore fingers later I think I can jump in the single coil club.

Twisted 26g n80, 6/7 wrap comes out to around .5 ohms. Was a real pita catching that fat twisted wire under those tiny screw heads but finally got it locked in and its a very tasty warm vape. I played around with smaller gauges and single wires but nothing was satisfying until this build. This setup really reminds me of a larger chalice. The coil sits right over the juice hole so it gets hit with juice immediately, with some excess filling the outer cup so I get about 8 or 9 good drags from one squonk.

Side view shows coil placement over the cup. The air holes in the cap just clear the cup so air is hitting the coil smack in the middle from both sides then running straight up the drip tip.

Thanks so much to everyone for suggesting this build. I liked it so much I did all five of mine this way!

Tom, do you have any cheap bigair attys? I'm gonna switch to unflavored and my 3 derringers and wimpy budget doesn't allow to me buy another 100$ atty setup.
Like D4gger said the Atty3 would be a solid choice for your interests. $56 to the door, authentic, and rock solid; what's not to love.

Wow! Twisted 26 on that thing had to be a mother..... I fought dual coil 26 on that atty which will not be removed until I sell it. Not because I'm not adventurous but for the sheer agravation.

Oh and my wife has no concept about the different attys.. If I were to get a new mod she'd notice, but since the attys are small and generally look similar, she pays no mind to them.
This thread moves fast..... I just bought a new mod through Tom and had to sneak to the mailbox get it....brought my razir, opened it up in the basement..... I get upstairs take a nap wake up to a nudge..... "what's this"..... Wtf..... But honey I'm gonna sell this one (pointing @ my reo) and I'm ahead of the game......cause I got a good deal on it! Uh huh.... So I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.. . .

*This sunbox would really be worth it if it was working but not recognizing my atty/ohms ......any clue?

So glad she doesn't give a syht about ecig talk......She is nosey though!

Tom I emailed you Regarding the sunbox..... when you get a chance?

Its really amazing how an atty performs with different builds.

Being new to this game, I've sure learned a LOT in the last couple months, thanks to Tom and everyone else here.

Even love the Vector now......:)

Poor atty, just needed a proper build, now I can't set it down...;)

5'10" 155 lb here. I ain't taking on any of you goliaths in a wrestling match. But when you feel like stepping up for a cloud comp with an old man (fishin' for sympathy points here), name your time and place.:smokie:

And for the record, we eat pretty damn well at our place.:thumbs:

Pretty interesting device:

Aromamizer RDTA 6ml,AROMAMIZER RDTA,SC200,steamcrave

OK: Yeah, it's a tank. But check out that build deck. It's cramped, but compared to anything other tank out there, it's pretty incredible. Filling it looks like a pain. And there's no user-controllable juice flow. But watch this thing vape (video starts at the good part - I love Robert's videos):



I know that "squonk tanks" have already been done. But done badly. And this thing doesn't squonk. But it could. And, like Robert says, I think this will get copied and cloned and (hopefully) improved to death. If it was 30 mm (my new infatuation) with room for a REAL deck in it, and it squonked, and if it was an industry pseudo-standard so you could interchange decks, and airflow controls, and tanks, and...

I ordered one about 5 minutes after watching the video (that means nothing - I order just about everything). Just so I can see where the next category of atomizers came from. And in a year, if you think I'm wrong, I'll tell you "I told you so".

Women who like to cook tend to prefer a man who likes to eat. Just sayin'

Feel sorry for you fellas that have to hide new purchases.

distorto is a good foot taller than his lady, but her personality makes up for it :)
Just say the word... Just say it....

I have no issue filling this tank, very unique juice feed system and the arc direct hittin the coil. If you vape high vg you can easily drill the feed hole larger.

The air flow sold me on the potential. The juice fill could be better, but I could live with it. I just need something to squeeze or push or twist (twonk?) to control juice-flow.
