On that note, has anyone found anything new in the atty world that work well as BF atty? The last several months I've been steadily using DPro atties on my LBC200s. They are an airflow upgrade from the O-Atty and have been working out quite well, though have a slight deficiency in juice well. To me, they look too large on the LBC Jr. and make it top heavy. :D

On to the new LBC Jr., the O-Atty looks nice but not sure I'm gonna be able to deal with the reduced airflow. Tried the Wasp Nano rda just a bit ago and liking it much better. Haven't dragged out the Stumpy yet for it but probably tomorrow night. Was just wondering if you guys have found any new interesting atties that might go well with a Jr.
Flave 24mm. Think Goon 24 minus 1/3 of the air and all or more of the flavor. If you ran the Goon 24 wide open I would stick with that. IMO the Flave 24mm is perfect on the LBC jr. Looks pretty awesome as well. The Flave 24 is best suited for those in search of medium+ air and single coil. If you are looking for more of a Narda experience steer clear of the Flave. The Flave is also the easiest Atty that I have ever built on, even slightly easier than the O-Atty (HD Version). If you don’t like the Flave 24 and want to get rid of it I will buy it from you; I only have 3 of them but wouldn’t mind a fourth. Also made in France, not China.

If you do Facebook haku is an amazing atty, it rates up there with the stumpy for me (I have 7 stumpys mind you) so that's saying something. I have only tried the phenom but I hear the cruiser is very similar just a lil more room on the deck.

Medium+ air sounds about my speed TBH. I haven't really looked too much at the Flave but will do so this evening. Is this the same atty you were contemplating a run of a short time ago?
I wish... They don’t seem to be much on wholesale. The only changes I have made to mine is to bore the squonk pin out two sizes bigger and shorten the pin to be flush with the deck. As it comes the pin sticks up 3mm from flush; not bad but I prefer full drainage over less squonking and possible leaks.

Btw: Disregard the low wattage settings... I’m currently using 2x28/32 ss Claptons which are crazy efficient. Using regular 26g kanthal I was at 55w and 24g ss 52w. Ramp up time is near zero, battery life has also increased significantly, flavor and clouds have improve dramatically. For years I shunned the idea of clapton anything but one of our ECF brothers sent me a sample and I have been hooked ever since. Now that is available by the spoon the cost difference in minimal.

Thank you, will take a look at these as well. I need to really give the stumpy another go too, as I loved it with my first single coil build, but never could get it quite right afterwards. Laziness I'm sure, and other stuff came along that I heartily chased instead. :(

Man that 75c with those panels is beautiful!
Funny you should mention....
I have an invoice for carbon fiber panels for the LBC jr (75 Classic) as well as standard black panels for the upcoming LBC jr v1.1 (75 color) as well as carbon fiber upgrade panels for the 1.1. These will be limited to 20 sets for the 75 Classic mod, 20 sets of carbon for the 1.1 and 40 sets of black G10 to be used as standard on the v1.1s. There will only be 40 of the v1.1 mods made.
Feel free to start a copy past list for the 75 Classic carbon fiber sets. These will be made of the exact same carbon fiber as was used on the LBC 200 not the cheap stuff in the pic above which I keep around only for demos. (Trust me; it sucks).

I only use single coils anymore, like Tom I love claptons . Z coil on the stumpy is hard to beat and with all the air flow options it can accommodate all styles dl to mtl, the key is for a z coil offset your airholes about 15 degrees where the air hits the entire coil .

Disregard the build. That was an experiment with parallel 26 stainless. Worked ok but too much ramp up time and battery drain. Check out the build deck. The air comes in directly at the coil not on the ends like you would think. Think Narda concept with 2x-2.5x the air of a Narda. The notches that you see on the left an right in the pic are to rest your mandrel when building only.

I agree wholeheartedly!

Tom, if you're still planning to do a run of 75C mods I'm onboard for a camo. :thumbs:
Can you get ultem buttons to light up

Yes, that Z coil config is what worked so well when I first got the Stumpy, but when I did the first rebuild never could get the magic back. Granted, I never tried Clapton wire which I now use exclusively. I'll give this a shot tonight/tomorrow

V1.1 mods?? Is the only difference the chip?

Man, that's a bigazz coil running up in there! I've done that very same thing in both a Stumpy and a Thump, minus a wrap or two. Glad to see that those huge holes are NOT airflow but rather for the mandrel.

I bought a second Flave, 22mm, as the airflow is "right up my alley" and they're just easy to get right...no oversquonking issues, etc. Not cheap, but very good. The original is 24mm, but I wanted the scaled down version for my little mech mods.
Worth a look, depending on your airflow preference - the Flave I run wide open, and it's what I'd call a slightly restricted lung hit that way. For comparison, I run a Stumpy or a Goon at 2/3 open...
Only downside - proprietary drip tip - but I solved that by fitting an 810, with just a o-ring add.
Here it is with a black cap (extra)

I’m also thinking about doing a carbon fiber stripe on the back like the LBC200 but going from top to bottom with no margins on the ends and finishing them flush and rounded on the ends. I’m also leaning towards an all black 510.

Back strip like this but with the carbon long enough to reach the ends. This was an experiment with a LBC200 inlay which obviously is a little short.

Honestly I don’t plan on doing the camo on the 1.1. I can’t find it in sheets in the USA. I had to import the v1 stuff from Canada and the company that actually will cut the tiny pieces for me does a crap job, out of 20 sets I was able to salvage 11 sets and had to refinish them to get that many. I do have my original guy that did the LBC200 carbon on the hunt for it though.

As to buttons I have clear machinable polycarbonate that I was going to use on the now defunct blue “Tough” mod leftover. I haven’t tried machining with it yet but I’m pretty sure it will be a go. The material feels a lot like the old provari v2.5 button which was pretty awesome. I do have urine yellow Ultem as well if you insist.

Crazy question as I have never tried the Flave 22mm: Will the flave22 drip tip fit the Flave 24mm? I’d love to have a few of the Ti tips. I will probably have to make them myself but I thought I would ask.
