I would go with the derringer. Have you considered the Samurai Bonsai? Its got the same style afc ring and drip cap(screw on) of the Pintaubo, and the small size of the Derringer. It also comes with a chuff cap and regular 510 dt cap.

nope,first time I heard of the atty itself..

so that confused me more :)

the only hesitation I have with the derringer and possibly the samurai is the hex screws..

the hesitation that I have with the pin atuboi is the huge chamber,much like the mutation x.
theoretically,

the derringer and samurai should give out a better flavored vape and warmer,because of the smaller chamber...

airflow,i think both are the same,and both are adjustable..

the post are similar,
I think except the screw..which make me doubt..
speciually if it turns out that what I have in the b&m is a clone...

both are sold $34usd approx.,not sure if the derringer is a clone
but the Pinatubo is for sure legit..

Never seen an authentic derringer for $34USD, so my guess its a clone. I bought my authentic for $79USD.

One thing i would worry about on the Pinatubo, is the screw on delrin top cap. My full sized Samurai Competition atty had a delrin chuff cap that was screw on. Eventually I stripped the threads on the delrin chuff cap which cause the afc ring to rotate easier, since it couldn't provide enough pressure against the afc ring. Because of this, the modder created a new style chuff cap where the base is made of SS, and brought this upgrade over to the Samurai Bonsai.

yeah so that's what I guessed as well a possible clone...

and I didn't notice that screw on thing,
(ever tried plumbers tape on it?)


nothing against clones,but on the price range
am I atleast sane to think,to get the Pinatubo just because of it being legit,plus the manufacturer is in the same country as mine so I think support wouldn't be an issue if in case the thread does give out...
I rewick like twice a day

man those are a real beuty and with a hefty price tag for a legit,i hope I can get even just a clone,or may just go with the Pinatubo,simply because of the price and being legit,,,
or do you think that the derringer ,or the samurai can outperm the legit Pinatubo?

Id personally go with the Bonsai. I have two Derringers and I just ordered two Bonsai's after trying one this past weekend... it offers everything the Derringer does and more. Better (and more) AFC, easier to build and multiple top cap/drip tip options right out of the box.

You might also want to check out the Vertex Jr. that MCM should have by end of May. I'm jumping on the list for that for SURE. The Vertex V2 was one of the best flavor atomizers i've used in the last 2 years... and it's that shortened as much as possible. Looks amazing for those of us who like the super intense "micro RDA" experience.

next to the original Vertex... which is still a relatively small atomizer... gives you an idea of how tiny this thing will be!
