Catfish Atty Mods the next Chapter

[kkiet]

I'm a wood person, hobby crafted fine woods for over 50 years. So wood mod aesthetics trumps metal mods with me. But I gave my numbers back to Peter for two made from exhibition woods I was going to supply from my large stash of it AND for the new smaller version I was slated to beta test also from my woods all at the same time (for various reasons that will remain my own). Also passed on a special PDib that was going to be resold, a real nice Gepetto DNA20 BF and a Caduceus SE BF offered to me about the same time. I have lots of Woodvil's that get it done for me just fine running Nuppin' and Chalice atty's, so decided to just stay with them to appease my wood mod needs.

I am just not into the wood theme, everyone has their own preference.

How are the batteries going into the CAM M?

And they do not get babied because they are wood.

We're all different. I have zero experience in finishing wood. Although it was a hobby of my dad's. But I guess, after a nearly 40 year career as a welder, I've handled enough metal to last a lifetime. During that time, I was an avid briar pipe collector and smoker. Wood mods remind me of that feel; and my dual coil builds on my favorite attys come pretty close to replicating the experience. Since the release of the 2015 Woodvils, my mod search pretty much was over. A dual coil Manta or Thump, on a '15 Woodvil, does the trick, for me.

 

[Raynman]

I'm in the same boat. My number is coming up in about 3 or 4 months, but I'm not so sure about it anymore. I'm already selling off my wooden mods because I love my metal mods so much more. They're beautiful, but I'm afraid of wood mods, especially with the humidity I have down here in Texas.

Get a stabilized one, no warping of any kind.

And that's exactly my point. Each of us have our own preferences, I have zero interest in trying to change that, variety is the spice you know. I am very happy that the world of bottom feeding options has improved exponentially in the last year. High end, budget, whatever there is room for everyone. It's a lot like cars; personally I would rather have a Bugatti with a dented fender than a rolls Royce silver Spur in that I would rather have all the performance but sacrifice a little in aesthetics.

That looks beautiful. I'd hit that.

Holy ....

That is all kinds of bad azz.

 

[Chowderhead1972]

Please remind of the dimensions, Tom.

If you have to ask it's too big..... 62mm wide if I recall correctly.

Well, this is 69 mm...but it's wood. [emoji41]

this is awesome! is this the latest cam model? dna200? details please!?

CF Manta is bangin'.
Flavor and vapor both better than my other fave toppers - not like "whole new class" better, but better - and BOTH.
Tight little workspace - I knew that, and STILL the cap shorted it, and had to pull 'em in a little. Good thing I checked it.
As usual, I got sloppy mounting, but I DID nail my target on the first try: dual 7-wrap, 27 g; 2mm inner; for 0.46 ohms. I was aiming for 0.45, so "bam".
Nice atty!

Yeah, you have to be careful. I always use a rule to check that the outside edges of my coils are within about a 14mm space, or less, before putting the top cap on. The inside diameter of the top cap is about 14.6mm. I also use the rule to set the coil heights the same as the air slots inside the cap.

 

[Train2]

I don't think I can measure it. I've got more of a "give it a little nudge" approach - I'm kind of coil-tarded.


But I will take a look at height, and maybe fiddle around with that a bit, thanks!

A little combination metric/inch stainless steel rule, which can be found at Home Depot or Lowe's, is a handy item to have in your coil building tool kit.

How are the batteries going into the CAM M?

I was wondering the same thing. Found two vids so far but neither says if the batteries all go in positive end up, down or a mix and couldn't tell by watching the guys put their batteries in.
