Hornet vs ERA question

[Commie]

Hey, Reonauts! Quick question -- cap set aside, are ERA and Hornet the same size? Or does the ERA have bigger guts? I have a slight beef with the Hornet to where it's very finicky about the size and shape of the coil I'm putting on it -- it doesn't seem to like anything but the tiniest microcoil I can make.

Thank you!

The hornet is 13mm and the ERA is 15mm according to IndyVapor. I've had both and prefer the ERA.

Thank you! Now I have to do some fancy trading

Don't get me wrong, they're both pretty tiny. I use microcoils in my ERA with 30ga Kanthal and cotton wicks. You can do larger coils, I just don't like them as much in the ERA. Also OKCvapes has them in stock at the moment. But if you're looking for something a bit roomier, Rob's rba 2.0 might be better for you, or a Chalice if you can manage to find one.

Thank you, Zerrrro. I do have Rob's rba 2.0 on my grand, and love it. Thinking about trading my mini for 2.1 and fitting a slightly bigger RBA on it, as opposed to the Hornet. I might try those cheapo dripper ERA clones, to convert them to bottom feeding. A $6 ERA is hard to say no to, and eventually upgrade it to Rob's.

I have an ERA. So far I like it, but the only coils that have really impressed me as opposed to pre-made attys are micro coils.

Just got my 2.1 in all black wrinkle, and it looks pretty snazzy with an ERA on top.
