Made another side breathing chamber/top cap today. I like this one better. Less bulky, shorter, lighter, simpler and fits more snugly on the atty because of the threaded top cap. Same food grade polycarbonate tubing, a slammed Kayfun 4 top cap, and a section of 1/2" stainless tubing press fit into it. The ID at 11 mm is about a 2/3 chuff cap. Upped the air holes from 2.5 to 2.8 mm.

Just received two more from Focalecig. These came from Germany and include a spare bottle as well as glass. My first came from China and included no spare bottle. You can draw your own conclusions from this info when you order from Focalecig.

Yes this the authentic rematty top cap. Only the cap tho...lol
With some thick o-rings it fitted perfectly
Derringer top cap fit too if you like side air flow without afc

Interesting, I like the idea of side airflow from the Derringer cap, I should grab a clone perhaps to give it a try. I'm also liking the side by side mechanical mods.

I like this atty, I'm sold on the concept completely but the quality could be better which is why I bought two of them. I built a .90 dual coil with 28awg, running it at 33W & really really pleased. I usually build TC with 28awg Ni200 but the screws kept cutting the leads. After trying twice I did I my first Kanthal build & wrapped the leads around the top of the screws instead.

ATM I'm running a typical (for me) 24 ga, 3mm, ~.3 ohm. My favorite so far was the twisted 28 ga though. Still trying different coils.

BTW, the package from Germany came via registered mail. Annoying. I certainly didn't request it.

This is the squonking atty i really want, same size as the goliath v2 and it has top airflow like the aeolus. Really like the features and hope its as good as people say.

Well, if you're at home with the Aeolus, you'll likely find this one very friendly. Cheers!

One thing I do not like with the Fountain is the fact that I can't put it in my pocket, the top cap falls off too easy. I wish it was threaded so maybe picking up a Derringer topper will help? This is the only negative I can see so far, other than that I am loving this thing!

I never even thought about squonking, And this is certainly affordable like all getout.

Might have to try one out. Hell it's so cheap why not get two.

Wonder how it will work for a 100% VG MTL Tootler like myself?

Eric

I'm a high VG MTL guy & I really like this atty, I've been using it non stop since I got it. Besides the screws being poorly finished I'm impressed with the quality. The only other concern is how the cap & tank are attached to the body, while not at all pocket friendly it is worth every penny. I bought two as well, I'm glad I did so I can have another build on another mod :thumbs:
