Does the video have to be about some rda issue or can it be any random video?...who want to see the squirrel "sling-shot" again?

Ya, I just want a new toy for free...

Jeez... You are already 1:1 now.... And lack a Vertex from this batch. Video has to forward our agenda for new Vertex caps.

Looks like 18mm x 2mm. I would suggest more firm than soft.

I've got some Viton Fluorocarbon v75 FKM rings in both 18.x1.5 and 18x2 on the way. Also have some Buna n70 in the same sizes coming. Thought about trying the N90 but figured they may be too hard.

Really liking this Omertà, Tom. Tried at .4 with an a1 26g dual coil. Using a flavor I've used for months, I get a slightly different flavor than any other atty. Airflow options work great, switching between top & side.

I was suggesting the a90 to cut down on the spongy effect. 75a might do it.

Almost got some n90's too:facepalm: I'm still thinking it may be more of a size issue but I'm hoping the 75 will be hard enough. We shall see :) tolerances look good on the authentic. It's really a design issue by not using 2 orings on the bottom.

Nice looking setup you've got there man! I picked that same drip tip up in a trade a while back. Maybe you can hook me up on some info on it. It was kinda a bonus with the atty it came on.. But I have no clue what it is.. Lol thanks in advance.

My first run Vertex clone from the same distributor and same manufacturer is nice and tight, that .2mm makes a huge difference. The red Oring made it better when dry but add a little juice and it's worthless. I have forwarded Joe Carrol's video to my distributor. I will keep you posted.

I've got a tip like that - it's most often found packaged with the Stingray mod.
I guess the "authentic" came from the Stingray, but clones abound.
Here's one $5
Here's one $3.95, and not even from China...
(well, I'm sure it IS from China, but you know - it's already made the trip here)

I just noticed the Infinite version of the Vengence is available. I made infinite send me a bunch of pics to make sure I can bottom feed them. I think I will do a once and done Clone run of these, if they do well I will do an authentic run. I had planned on stopping clones altogether but I think clones have become such a staple of bottom feeders it would be almost cruel to stop altogether. For the foreseeable future I will do clone runsb but only runs. There will be 1 (one) run of a particular clone and then if it does well (both sales and performance) I will try to do an authentic run. At that point if the manufacturer/distributor of the authentic refuses to deal with me/us the clone run may be repeated. If the authentic manufacturer/Distributor IS willing to deal with me/us there will be no further clones of that model. I think this is a more fair and equitable solution for us and the manufacturers as well as us. I'm sure some will disagree but it is what it is. Consider the first run Beta testing if you wish.

I think that's a fantastic idea! Will go check out the Vengeance now, as I've no clue what the heck it even looks like. :D

I like that you are going to trend away from clones and into more authentics. It shows that you care more about the quality of your product than quantity. I think what we all are most anxious for is for you to start commissioning your own designs. I really like the idea you had recently about doing custom one off attys for customers. i really think you are on to something special there and I hope you can make that happen.

My 2c fwiw.

A BF Vengeance is very tempting! I have one on the way from FT - I think it is SXK. Have to see how this run goes and then maybe send mine in.

And, Lancia is up and running. I had a strand of twisted 26ga in my desk drawer and threw a quick single in there @ .4ohm. Vapes like a dream. Flavor is ridiculous - better than the Derringer I believe. Although, I'm not 100% sure as I'm fighting a pretty nasty head cold. Even with two of the airflow channels blocked it still flows a ton of air. Wrapped one wick tail under the coil and the other around one of the negative posts. This thing squonks and drains amazingly well. Great job Tom!

I respect the way you're going about this brother, for what it's worth. Sensible, reasonable, logical. It just makes sense bro :)
