Just received the Achilles today. #242. Damn! It's light! Almost feels like the weight of plastic but it is a strong steel. Very impressed.
Have yet to put a build on it. Suggestions? Links?
Thinking of trying ramie as my wicking material on this but am not sure if open coil or compressed micro would be the way to go. Thinking open but just not sure as I have typically used airier RDAs thus far.
Also, since I've never used one (have used a Magma and understand that with flavor drippers a little higher is better), I'm not so sure what ohm would be best. 0.8 - 1.2? I'd like to use it on a mechanical but have regulated if that would be better.
My favorites for a year now. Achilles and also the Prometey2. Both titanium for lightness and strength.
I have 2 of each just because I get best flavor from these compared to dual coil RDA's, and as good if not better than RTA.
These are not cloud chasers or "lungers" but if set your voltage up for fast response, the vapor is there!
(the Eclipse Ti is a dual coil with same under coil air though, but deck is too small for me)
The Achilles needs good wicking because the coil sits about 4mm above the juice source; dual wells. I like Japanese cotton but some like Rayon cellucotton for fast wicking - use a spaced coil for rayon if you go sub ohms/thick wire.
I just converted away from thick wire and sub ohms as the way to go with these single coil atomizers... that "thoughts on sub ohms... thread converted me: thinner wire gives you more surface area if you go LR (1 to 2 ohms), punch up the voltage 5 to 7v for lots of vapor and fast response, and good cooling down (whereas thick wire keeps burning at sub ohms heat levels)...
With DNA's you can get lots of volts and use less watts. +1
and of course with new Temp Control dna40 its even better... zero burnt hits and over heated juice.
Edit: if you are looking for high RPM stuff stick with dual coil atomizers and low ohms, thick wire.
One more: I have my DNA30 set up with a 2.3 ohms micro coil with 30g kanthal, set at 18w it fires at 6.7v, my sweet spot.
