Two new rta's coming out soon :) Both have the "Big Clapton Deck"
The Govad $27.34 Authentic Vandy Vape GOVAD RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - dual tank capacity (2/4ml) / stainless steel + glass / 26mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
The Ammit 25 $36.00 Authentic GeekVape Ammit 25 RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 2ml/5ml / stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
I like the Ammit 25 better, the big side air holes on the Govad look like they will just miss the coil & water down the flavour :(
BTW the Ammit 25 is up for preorder at 3F for 23.99 :)

This style. Deck. Is just. Excellent

How would you rate 3F vx FT?

FT has better selection! 3F is good for me cause they have. E-Packet shipping. That lands on the east coast
I have never had to deal with. Customer. Service at 3F so can't say
To be honest. I like. FT. Better but for some reason. They don't have a discount on the Ammit 25 ☹️

3F is a good. Alternative. But. FT. Is better. IMO

OK, I admit it, I am getting old, or at least my eyes say so.

I am looking for some design similar to below but with a 5x magnifications at a focal distance of 12".

A casual search of Amazon only turn up junk.

Can anyone point me in a direction where I can find a proper pair? Or any other adequate design, they dont have to be inexpensive, but they do need to be good quality.,

What you are looking for Mike, it's dental, or surgical loupe.

I started researching these a while ago, but it all got to difficult and I just resorted to the "cheap and nasty option"

A quick Google of "dental loupe" brought up this place which seams to offer a lot of high quality options, but what those options are is beyond me.....

Sitting down, facing forward.
Mike, the focal length may be a problem for anything in the under $100 class, not custom built. I use a pair of cheapy, binocular, visor style, 3.5X with a focal length of about six inches. If I need more I put my readers on with them and probably get up to about 8 or 10X. I got them on FleaBay and they also list some more expensive "professional" stuff over there.

I use a super elcheapo jewelers visor I got for $5. It has a fixed binocular lense, a flip down binocular lense inside and a small round flip down monocular lens on the outside. Two led lights too. It's a very cheaply built visor but I've had it for 8 yrs. and it still works fine for up close work. I have to have it too do builds and wind clapton/alien wire.
