Killer 705 vs Diver? Your thoughts?

[Chowderhead1972]

Just as the title says.....

I just received my order from Atmistique and I am very impressed with the twins, Hippo, Gemini, and spinners (2 each) reasonably fast shipping all things considered. I also have a Killer 705 on preorder from 405 but now I am not so sure of which way to go.

which would you pick and why?

Just watched a video on the diver... You could actually make that yourself with less than $10 dollars worth of parts.

A 510 to 808 adapter for the base.
A 808 carto for the body.
A 510 atomizer for the ceramic cup and center post.

Would be an easy build...

 

[Chowderhead1972]

So that would be a vote for the 705?

 

[jasl90]

Haven't put my hands on either and I don't normally like to advise anyone on anything that I haven't used myself.
That said, personally I like the design (and the fit & finish) of the 705 better. Add the that I've never seen anything but positive reviews... If they are in the same price range, yea, I'd go for the 705 myself.

 

[jasl90]

Thinking I may go ahead and make a "ghetto" diver... Pretty sure I have all the parts...
Just need a carto tank.

Killer 705.
There doesn't seem to be any way to cut off or control the flow of juice with the Diver - maybe my lack of Greek is making me miss something from the video but that permanent hole looks like a flood/gurgle magnet unless you vape an as-yet-unspecified exact ratio of PG/VG juice.
Permanent hole in Diver also removes the dripping functionality the Killer has (close juice control>vape whatever's remaining on Killer's wick>drip juice without ruining what's in the tank).
You won't be able to fill the tank fully without a fill screw.
The little flange on the bottom will produce a gap when used on tanks that don't have the recess.
If anybody can understand Greek and correct me I'd love that, because the price of the Diver was very tempting.

Thanks for your insight, highly appreciated. I was leaning towards the 705 and your comment in regards to uncontrollable juice metering is enough to make the difference in my perspective. I like a few pg juices but I still love Boba's and GJ so that extra control justifies the price difference. Thanks again.

These are all of my main concerns. I have a Killer on the way, actually, but I was very interested in the Diver for the BilletBox!!

After watching that video, I just don't know if I'm sold on it. I may just have to wait for the Achilles from GG as it'll be very similar in form factor.

I was going to first try and get a Killer 705, then I was going to get a Diver, now I am going to set back and wait for people to compare them.

 

[finagle69]

Well the site just went live for the Diver. I went ahead and ordered one. They're not terribly expensive.

A 901 atomizer also has a little hole like that in the side. Similarly, you could probably use the Diver as a dripper with a drip shield if that little flange at the bottom doesn't interfere too much.

Edit: I just heard that they will make a dripper adapter for this.

 

[grindle]

Not as handy if you have to take it out of the tank to use as a dripper, and the juice control or lack of it seems short-sighted.

Guess we'll see over the next few days. If it works well I'd love to get one.

 

[SpyrosG]

I only own the Killer and I could really use a comparison between the two. Fully satisfied on the Killer btw.

 

[Absintheur]

I have 2 Killers now and a Diver on the way, when it gets here I will report on it...

Awesome!

Has anyone noticed the mass exodus away from the 705 on the classifieds? Did I miss something?

 

[Absintheur]

Like a lot of new devices people buy them, try them, decide it's not for them and sell them...I did notice some of the prices are a tad high in the classies...

Yep. I like to wait for the original flurry of "hype hysteria" to fade and then pick stuff up at a reasonable price. (Of course this doesn't apply to iHy devices & other hybrid mods.) Those prices just get more & moar insane. 8-o

 

[STVNMR]

Can anybody offer a side-by-side comparison of the Killer and Diver yet? The Killer seems more versatile with varying PG/VG ratios, but I want to know whether it's worth the extra dough.

 

[BdMoore85]

I own 3 divers and sell them from my store....people seem to like them over the 705 because the "control" on the 705 doesnt do much, either all or nothing is how they described it to me....I also have some noble 1 hybrids we just got in as well

 

[RickCain]

I am waiting for my Killer to make its trip from Greece so I can give it a try - the diver is a month out from going back in stock so it was an easy choice.

As for the diver I have tried it on a friends device and it hit just a touch better than a carto but nothing like my Kayfun
