Likewise. And also, Mooch, thank you for the good conversation - it was actually rather pleasant discussing this with you. Debate is certainly my favourite form of dialogue. I hope I didn't come off as being a jerk - wasn't my intention.

The 3 mm BF pin is the more common size. I've converted several attys with it. Sorry to hear about he Tsunami 24. I have one waiting to be built but haven't got to it yet. When I do, I'll post if I discover any tricks for minimizing leaking. Enjoy your NoPity!
Am reading your response as I stare at my tsunami 24 window rda..... and I'm seriously considering throwing it in the garbage! Im thinking it has to do with the height of the 510 pin inside the well which allows juice to pool up and creep up to the height of the air tubes.... So when you tip to vape it starts..... Then you fix one side just to find juice coming through the other...... I should just cut a few mm's off of that pin to make it flush with the deck .... But at this point it's rubbed me the wrong way too many times...... I may forgive but I don't forget...... Jk........ maybe
And anyone that says "mine doesn't leak", is LIEING..... or they vape in a stationary position orrrrr to vape it they have to move their head to meet an upright tsunami .....lol...... I think it led to the premature death of my dripbox 160... It took one too many baths in juice!
You can call me garbage and throw it my way lol. I don't have leaking issues with my standard windowless 24 tsunami, no lie.
Post a video squonking and vaping it for more than 10 pulls..... How did you manage to figure out what EVERYONE COMPLAINS about .... Leaking..... Please help me understand this rda......because the guy at my B&M said the same thing that's why I bought it...... I went back in asked to see his "build" .....on tsunami 24 window sitting on top his Dripbox btw...afc flooded and leaking down his mod sticky to the touch, etc...... He's like.... "oh, that doesn't happen all the time" ...... Yeah right....
and no I didn't buy it there got it online.
Imo I don't do anything special. Snapped a quick pic of the build on mine, it's not the prettiest but works well.
I have a friend with one and he had similar issues, the main difference is he filled the center of the well with cotton. I let my cotton hit the bottom of the well only like in pic. Now full disclosure I did get leaks when I first started using it, till I learned how much to squonk.
Now if tilted say 45° or more with a full well I could see it getting into the channels so I have adjusted my draw technique slightly. But have also learned if some gets in there a good strong draw pulls it to the coils.
Anyway I use 75/25 or 80/20 high vg so just say maybe a 2 second squonk fills the well then the cotton does its work.
Oh and I have not shortened the 510 as it let's some liquid stay pooled.
That's the key: how much to squonk. Some people tend to overdo it. Also, the duration is not the only thing to be mindful of, but the total pressure as well. I can squonk the default RDA to the point that the juice comes through the air holes on it... OR I can squonk lightly and only get the wick wet.
The issue with the Tsunami 24 is that, if you're trying to saturate and cover the coils on a squonk? You're going to leak. The air holes are below the coils.... You ONLY want to squonk enough to get the wick wet and let it absorb up.
Personally, I'm not liking the Tsunami 24 with regards to the BF squonking. The air holes being on the bottom of the RDA makes it really not very ideal for this application.
I find myself more often than not just dripping with the dripbox 160 and not even using the squonker. Same for the original dripbox.
My cat knocked my dripbox 60w over the other night, and I woke up to an iPad covered in juice. Apparently, it leaked right from the bottle up to the rda and out all over the place. Not certain if that's supposed to happen so easily... Though it was on its side at least a few hours.
Also as a side note: my Dripbox 160 came with a different drip tip than the 60w. Size and shape are obviously all the same, but the original has a drip tip that has ridges sorta-speak around the tip, making it easier to hold on to and remove.
The Dripbox 160 came with a completely smooth one that when it heats up, the expansion of the plastic can make it difficult to remove and it's very smooth and slippery. I swapped them out personally.

Another note on the NoPity atomizer. I have deliberately over-squonked it to the point where you can see juice at the outside juice holes. I've done this several times, and every time a single strong pull will clear them. This seems to be yet another benefit of three small air holes per side (see photo) rather than one or two big ones. As air moves faster through the small holes, clearing is easier and more complete. Several days into the NoPity and still no cons.
Didn't realize that. Gonna look for the original DT now.
Checked mine. No go. My original DB atty has the same drip tip.
Really?! Hrm... I have the black Dripbox 60w and the silver 160, and the DT is definitely different texture-wise.
I'm not certain how clear the photo makes it. But basically the one on the left is the original 60w drip tip. It has a rougher texture.

Having a hard time explaining it lol. If I run my fingernail up the DT of the original, my fingernail catches in the grooves around it.Really?! Hrm... I have the black Dripbox 60w and the silver 160, and the DT is definitely different texture-wise.

What's funny is, this is an Italian RDA. I am in Budapest. If I order the RDA from US I can get it for $20. UK, $30. Italy - $140. What the hell? I found a 1:1 clone out of Hong Kong that includes the bf pin. I may order that as its only $15. From the pics, it looks really good and identical in every way.Or single with a big ID. Haven't tried that yet though.
