No atty is for everyone and how you feel about them is valid for your vape style, I as a MtL Vaper, use a DT and one hole each side on a center-coil, plenty of flavor & vapor for me. I still have a Thump to try, and like the Manta... sometimes, I'm always running two Marquis clones, and two Atomics clones and a Lancia, so the Stumpy seems to fit among the Atties I currently enjoy. The jury is still out on the Swirlfish for me, at ~$56.00 it was worth trying, experimenting with different size DTs... CAM workmanship is superb as always!
I really like the Marquis' too...!

I've enjoyed but never really paid attention to my two Stumpys until your Video, I now have a Black on the way... time to re-access my personal Atty Rankings, move over Marquis & Atomic.

Nut Milk video here I come, thanks for the wake-up e-sloth :vapor:

I have eight Stumpy's....I'd trade all of them for Narda's in a heartbeat.

I know I'm treading on thin ice here but I just don't get the Stumpy love affair. I have a top fed one, it's okay. It's no better than the Derringer which it is essentially a rip off of. Sure, it's easier to build due to the two posts but... meh.

I actually like the flavor of the Derringers much better than the Stumpy's.

I have zero iss8e with this type of banter. No one is on thin ice. There is a reason there are so many attys released, everyone has different likes and interpretations. There are a few "Bad" attys out there but not many. There are dozens of attys out there that I don't like and almost as many that I do like. I'm certain that most of you would agree. Much like women, cars, and mods beauty and greatness is in the eye of the beholder which is a big part of the reason I don't do reviews. I'm trying to cover the bases of what people want and admittedly the Stumpy and the Derringer have both been huge sellers but with the huge sellers there will make it into the hands of those that don't find it as great as others have. The beauty as inspects point out is now that you are buying authentics they can be resold and lose nothing or very little money in the sale. This is why I do what I do and how I do it. Nearly everything I sell is sold at a few dollars over retail so ( don't hold the Aeronaut against me, I'm working with what I can do without bankrupting Catfish).

I think we would all be hard pressed to find all the different authentic BOTTOM FED ATTY'S anywhere in the world, except right here, at Catfish Atty's.

I'm certainly glad your in the bottom feeding business...!

And, I can't wait until the Catfish DNA200 Squonkers are ready..!

I like every damn atty I have, some better than others, but I don't dislike any of them.

Ditto is right, Ken. If I hadn't found Catfish I would prolly still be sucking on some bizarre non-bottom fed atty.

Bottom feeding changed every aspect in the way I vape, it's the most enjoyable satisfying flavorful vape with such little hassle.

In the same camp with Inspects on this one in that I also enjoy all of the attys I have.

What works well in one, may not always work well in another. The build, ( coil size, wire size, style, wicking, air flow as well as position of both coils and intakes) the power, the juice, and the drip tip ( often overlooked as a means to tune the vape) can make or break any atty on the market. A lot of vapers often get pigeon holed into one particular type of build. IMHO, the willingness to play and toss different builds at the different units most always results in getting the most the atty.

Take the drip tip thing for instance, line up ten different drip tips of varying bores, shapes and lengths then try each one on an atty and tell me you can't taste the differences in the vape using the different tips. Some changes will be subtle while others will be huge.

This is not to say that all attys are perfect and yes, I've come across a few dogs in my time as well, but more often then not, have found most to be very good while others to be fantastic.

Doc:
Please disregard the price if you are on the last list.
AERONAUT RDA Bottom Feed by Catfish
The price if you are on the catfish list from weeks ago the price was posted with that list.

Could someone bump the list? Those people get first dibs on these 6 I will get more.

I was just hoping not to piss anyone off because I know the Stumpy is so well liked here. I'm sure some folks tried the NarDA and thought "Meh, it's okay but what's all the fuss about?"

Following on what inspects posted, I think you do a great job of bringing a variety of attys to us all. I've seen everything from MTL flavor-oriented attys to "cloud chuckers" and all points in between those. Sure there are some attys I wish you would do a run of that don't happen, but I realize that if there's not enough interest then it makes no sense for you to do so.

My only regret is that I didn't stick with squonking the first time I tried it. Now I'm playing catch up.

Have more then a few Stumpy's myself and while I wouldn't trade them, I'd sure as hell like to get my hands on a few more NarDa's. With that being said, who knows what the future may bring...;)

DB...I said the same thing when I bought 8 Manta's...so pay no attention to me....now I have eight of each......;)

I wouldn't trade anything for another atty....in fact, I have every atty I've purchased from Catfish in the last year+...and it's quite the collection of top of the line atty's, as you well know....:)

I bet someone not familiar with what goes on around here might be a little hesitant to say anything at first, until they got some good book learnin done reading past posts...:)

I'll be the first to admit that the Manta is not without a few issues, but hey, I have 3 in rotation as well. Again, with the right build, it's a pretty ba'dass atty in all.

I love the comparative input so much!! I feel it's one of the reasons we're all here;)
As to this Catfish character...I'm so glad I met him. He's been a tremendous source of knowledge saving many of us lots of unnecessary expense :eek: Big thank you and I hope all here appreciate him for the advances he's brought about in this industry :thumb:
