Hey Tom
I can't remember, what were your thoughts on the Shingen as a bottom fed?

Thanks!

What is the difference/ advantage in using spaced contact coils vs. contact?

What is the difference/ advantage in using spaced contact coils vs. contact?

Spaced coil: not quite as hot and doesn't gunk up as fast. My opinion is that it gives a slight edge towards flavor, most likely due to more wet wick surface inside the coil.

Thanks!

The Shingen is a no go. The pin and post configuration won't allow bigger than a 2mm center pin. I was gutted.

The biggest difference for those with dna40s is the contact coil is much more efficient which is of some concern for those with limited power. If you are using an 18650 or larger mech, dna200 or even the sx350 power limitation is much less of a concern. Personally I love spaced coils for exactly the reasons Penguiness posted. Spaced will give you a smoother softer vape and much less scorching when pushed to the limits. Want extreme? I'm experimenting with the Narda, I currently have a 5mm (huge) 10 wrap spaced coil with a wad of cotton bacon in it and it is silky smooth at 55watts. I got tired of the constant spitting and burning from 3mm coils in the Narda. Smooth and Clouds bro, clouds.....

The only down side to spaced coils that I have found other than efficiency is if you oversquonk it will spit like a cobra where with contact coils you just get muted flavor when oversquonked.

I haven't held the maker yet but Inspects stillare4 just arrived and wow it's a lot nicer than any Stillare I have seen before. Awesome cap system. 3mm pin... The Stillare will squonk and drain very well. I like the fact that you can close off the bottom air feature.

You should have my Sv4 too...

Ok thanks! That's a good explanation. I just did my first spaced yesterday in a Stumpy. Well first spaced that was close to perfect I thought I noticed an increase in vapor but I really noticed how smooth the draw was. Whatever it was was a definitely good vape. Going to change the one in my Narda next.

I'm glad u can close it off too. For some reason I was thinking u couldn't. That's good news.

How does the doc method of ordering work?....I have been outta the loop since the CF edition stumpys

Quick question: is payment via PP an option for the stillare?

Can you take a pic of your Narda setup? I'm wondering if I should set mine to a bigger diameter. Right now I'm at 0.64 ohms with 26awg Kanthal 6 wrap spaced coil. I get minor spit back but at least it isn't scorching, I think of it like eating gushers candies.

I had the same problem with an rda that otherwise gave great flavor. These solved it with a slight modification. Didn't affect flavor or vapor production like most with this concept but, it did pool the tiniest bit on the outer lip of plastic insert after some use. I popped out the plastic insert and widen the holes eliminating the lip and the area where any pooling could occur. Couldn't be happier...

Just click the link, fill out the form and when your atty is ready you will be invoiced via PP. no more afterwards pm's. Just fill it out and pay the invoice when it arrives.

 

[Chowderhead1972]

Quick question: is payment via PP an option for the stillare?

Yes. PayPal will be an option for all authentic attys. Any clones will be transfer, check, or money order.

Ok, so it was 7/8 wraps... But it is 5mm mandrel and 1.47 ohms less than a mm away from shorting out.

Cool! That's good to know. Thanks Tom
