H...I bought some Ud clapton wire....damn good stuff, and cheap for fifteen feet of claptons ready to cut and coil.
That's actually what I do too lol I don't make those coils, I buy the wire already made. I don't have the patience to sit and make all that. Even a single core Clapton would look small in that deck trust me. Not trying to talk anyone out of it but more of a heads up so you know.

If you want some wild claptons PM me...I'll send you the info to get some dandies at a good price....!

You can bet I'm not coiling my own either...have much more important things to do...but I don't mind paying a little for superb quality.

Tom, have you done a Twisted Messes 2 yet. I just picked one up and will be checking it out later today, but it looks like a good candidate. The only problem is that the center pin is gold plated brass.
I do... I actually have one in stock, bottom fed and ready to go, just say the word. Gold plated bs pin is history btw.....

FINALLY got around to building the Chi-Matty and it's not too bad at all! Had a time trapping my coil leads, but glad I kept at it. You guys weren't kidding about how quiet it is! I twisted some 26ga kanthal then built a single 5 wrap coil, 3.0mm ID. I have the dual air slots fully open and it produces a ton of vapor and flavor.

Don't think I'd go through the insanity of trying to get an authentic though.

Is it awesome? If so I'd hop on just 'cause "Goomba" :lol:
It is. The first dripper that I've ordered multiples. AND I have yet to put a dual coils set up in it.

After shipping everything today I took an hour for my self and built a few attys that I had held back, it was bliss. Long story short I'm currently comparing MAttys on my SX350 TMods one with an authentic MAtty and one with a clone from the last batch. Initial impression the clone is slightly more efficient due to the flat bottom pin that I used on this batch. I will say the terminal plates on the authentic are a little better but if that really bothers you; you can get the real ones from MEB for about half the price of the entire clone, I'll work with what I have thanks.

I also built a Nipple clone to put on my E8, I figured it would be a efficient enough atty so I could run low enough wattage to keep it from eating yet another board (3 so far, grrrr). When this board goes it will be sold for parts. The atty Squonks way better than I thought it would based on the measurements, easy to build with dual verticals and the center post had no problem with dual coil 26 gauge verticals. Evidently even in the nipple 30 watts just isn't enough for me, or maybe it's just the gutless dna40. One of these days I'm going to build a mid power (60-75w) squonker with a 26650 and an Italian bottle. Dna75? Dicodes? Hmmmmm..... I like the sx board but I wish I could get better battery life, toting around a bandoleer of 18650s just to last the 10 hours I'm at work sucks... Hence my love for 3 cell lipos, the LBC protos have never let me down when used the way I vape. Ymmv.

Well now I'm just rambling......
The LBC bodies shipped to me yesterday btw. Won't be long now!
the pic in my mind is the X across the chest like in the old westerns...filled with 18650's..reload!
i couldnt wait any longer so i built one...the steam crave aint all that pretty or light but it all fit on the inside and cant tell its been modded.
im diggin the 3s lipo squonker,13mls on a full charge is pretty damn good i thought.dropped it and was wondering if it would survive...and it did.

I was going for an 18650 slinging Rambo persona so you pretty much nailed it. Congrats on the conversion. What cell did you use?

I've heard from several people this is a great atty. Seen some really wild clapton builds in that baby. Supposedly the flavor is good too. Need to order one.

On a side note: I don't know about you folks, but to me all the hip about the NoPity was a little overboard. To me, the Stumpy is better, or for that matter, the Dotmod Petri V2, really like that atty as well. Additionally, the Maker is a damn decent atty in the running for flavor and vapor.

Perhaps I need to try different builds in the NoPity, but its not worth the money in my unbiased opinion. The good aspect is it would sell fast in the classies.

thanks,the 1st pic is w/o a lil aluminium plate the other is with it and hadda put some black tape up towards the 510 so no accidental short,its a tight fit.if the bar was to tight against the batt then i got autofire or watts up/down auto.so its just cut to fit and even with the drop lasnite it stayed put.

i know its not a big money mod but its my favorite one now,needs some hotrod flat black and good to go.the door fits perfect,just needs a few magnets ive vaped about 15mls with no probs,leaks or otherwise 2 thumbs up!

Regardless, anyone who can create a DNA-200 squonker gets a high-five from Arizona...!

It really looks good RD...!
