Send me one... I will do it. I already did mine, I haven't coiled it yet though. Looks like it would be very power hungry or very cold.
I have had so many ideas for the CAM series it makes my head spin. I hate to divulge my concepts as to have them taken but the one I'm currently thinking about is a 14mm single coil half scale Marquis with Genesis option and the ability to raise and lower your juice hole to suit your needs. This hasn't been done as far as I'm aware. Genesis needs a higher hole to keep the mesh soaked where cotton needs a lower hole to maintain a damp wick. The Marquis BF that I have produced in both clone and authentic is a hybrid of the two. I have given up on the 16-18mm idea that I was so passionate about. There are so few devices that it would be ideal on it would be better produced by Rob as it would be Reo lp specific.
I have learned a lot of lessons from Praxis both in their successes as well as their failures. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunities that I have had with Praxis.. That said, I will be carrying the Derringer2 but I won't be modding it. You can draw your own conclusions as to why. I will say this: I was asked to consult on the D2 and I Obliged. In the short run I realize that consultation will be akin to cutting my own throat but in the long run I see it paying of on a large scale in the long run.
Enough rambling....

It can, I have done a few of them drilled 3mm of the deck for that hybrid effect. The Origen BF pin is a several leveled failure but the sheep keep buying it so Norbert keeps making it. Deadly cycle.... IMO even on a Genesis BF the pin should never be more than halfway between the deck and the air hole. Nor should any 22mm atty have a squonk hole smaller than a 1/16. Nor vents smaller than. #55.
Loving my Velocity as well. Bottom fed post is coming tomorrow. We’ll see how that goes... I can see a send in to Tom for a proper bf modification in the nearest future... if he will take it of course!
I will take you up on that offer, kind sir. And I'll even send along one of the Avid BF center posts once it gets here.
I vaped mine on my Sigelei 150 last night at high wattage, so didn't notice anything about it being power hungry.
Will explore it more this weekend.The Velocity is an extremely versatile device from the ease of build to the infinite adjustments abilities with the air flow. You can blow enormous clouds or just enjoy the flavor. Unlike smaller atties ( e.g., the Derringer) it provides an ample deck to throw any kind of build on it and it will take you very little time and effort. Top it off with secure connections would make it just perfect for tc devices and the build quality is just immaculate.
That's a problem? IMO,that's the sign of a properly made clone. Remember the Vertex 2nd round? As I recall yours waited to ship so long that you never had to deal with the sloppy cap.
Penny for your thoughts?
I'm pretty sure even I could do a nickel build on this one.

Thumbs up from me. Nice deep juice well, looks an easy build - would have preferred top AFC but guess you can't have everything

Btw: this is the difference between the Derringer 1.2 and 1.3 BF.
V1.3 BF pins... Look at those teeth! Grrrrr
Stock pin on the right...
If you make these spin, you Yer doin' it wrong.....

Yeah, it's so tight that the top cap can't fully seat down onto the base. And when I have it down as far down as possible, it actually takes all my strength to remove the top cap. I could probably take a 50lb sand bag and dangle it off the 510 connector and it wouldn't budge. It's seriously on there. Don't get me wrong, I like it tight but not turn your face blue tight. I'll toss the base into a chuck and shave a little bit of it off with some sandpaper or something.
Third try, nailed it!
Flavor on this Manta went off the charts with this build! I had two air holes open on each side, almost too much flavor with the joose I have loaded. A juice I normally cut with unflavored, but it's at full strength today and it's intense in this atty like this!!
My posts are kinda screwy, had to bend my leads a certain way to be able to get the coils close to the posts.
One of the o-rings on my top cap came shredded to pieces, but extras were in the box so it's all good now. The cap fit is super super tight, but I can live with that.
This is my first 2 post atty, and it was easier to build on than I thought it would be.
I too, would be interested in an authentic Manta buy!!

Tight is better, but yes mine, is also super tight. I ripped the 510 out of an old (non working) ohm meter.
If it doesn't loosen up with use, I'll remove the lower o-ring or use some fine sandpaper on the o-rings.
I don't want to sand the base. It could just be out of spec o-rings.
Derringer #3 showed up this morning. Thanks Tom! Being the slow witted one that I am, I left my bag of KGD at home. I have Kanthal at work but no wicking material.
Derringer showed up today, threw a quick single coil 1.6 on it to get the wheels off the ground and it is awesome. Thanks Tom!
