Don't you find that they vape completely different? It's nice to say they both are flavorful, but the Manta is a tall atty with a domed cap and a reduced chamber, the thump's top cap it like 1mm from the coils and has some of the same issues as the derringer regarding fighting spitback and having no chamber to speak of. You don't have to worry about leaking, just shooting juice into your eyes. LOL
Yeah I would say the spitback is a slightly bigger issue on the thump than the manta, but with the way I build it, I don't really have much issue with that.
I'm sure there are super tasters around who can tell the difference, but for me if I dialed in the airflow of the thump down to as tight as the manta, I honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two. I get the same dense vapor and intense flavor from both. Tbh I've never really bought into the whole domed cap hype. Mostly a function of the fact that I personally am not discerning enough a taster, and also it makes no sense to me from a fluid dynamics perspective. IMO the biggest factor affecting flavor is chamber size period. With the size of an atomizer, airflow within is 100% turbulent and fancy internal constructs would hardly make a difference.
But that's also the opinion of an endangered flightless bird so... Yeah.

For some reason I want to think that the thump will be like the rogue. Does a good stiff pull pick up juice?
You have a smart wife we are all crazy but at least we dont smoke[emoji41]Great pic, with a bunch of great mods. Also very well organized
I had to show this pic to my wife. She kept telling me don't you have enough of these. She thinks we're all nuts
I also don't have any issues with spit back on the Thump but I tend to find with my builds if I don't wick them with enough cotton I have spit back. I tend to stuff the coil tight with cotton. I've also found on the Stumpy if I don't wick it with enough cotton I'll have spit back as well.
dangit i been waiting 6 days now for my flat wire to get here from lightening vapes....its the 2nd time in as many orders they havent got stuff here in a decent time.mayhaps have to find new wire supplier.-Rick
It's really going to depend on coil size and placement. I get 0 spitback or juice pull with my build, and it is my daily driver.
Fortune favors the Bottom Feeders.
Both are excellent atty's and it's hard to go wrong with either. Aside from being side air vs top air, flavor wise I'd have to tip slightly towards the Narda. Airflow wise, the Thump wins. Of course a huge part of it depends on your build as well.
Recieved black stumpy and Narda the other day. Both look great and the NarDa has great flavor. Thanks Tom
Spitback has everything to do with boiling the juice and is usually caused by running the coil height too low or too much wicking and lack of air gap under the coil. If the coil is laying in a pool of juice or on a bunch of wicking... snap, crackle and pop.
