Sorry, it's too tricky. To do this, 3 people need to bear it in mind for a long time. We already tried to fulfil requests like this and it never went out good. Either one of 3 forgot about it or the one who requested never came and bought that specific one. It was a big mess 8)
We can't do this.

Thought i'll try my luck, i guess. I already bought mine 2 weeks ago and thought i can just squeeze my request in.

Thanks anyway

Hello everybody, Im awaiting the arrival of my first by Chels device. I ordered the MiniAtty after someone highly recommended it. Im hoping I get my first build right. From the videos and reviews I think its do-able for me. I regret not getting the mini dripper, its so tempting and the price seems right for such a great looking device.

MicroDrips, MiniDrips and a part of MiniSticks are stuck on engraving. The expert who is doing the engraving was ill for more than a week. Now she's back and we hope that soon we'll get these items back from engraving. Sorry that these orders are delayed for several days.

MicroBigs are started.

MicroSticks SS are almost ready. We're about to send them for satining. Then they will have the same finish like Hamorikos.
If you want a shiny MicroStick SS like on the photo below (it's not polished), then you can state this in order comments or contact us for an existing order. Then we can ship it to you without satin. These MicroSticks will be shipped a bit earlier.

I got my MiniAtty today and so far Im having problems. What gauge do you suggest and what diameter should the coil be. I made my first attempt with 28g got a great reading at 1.2 . SEt it up, no problems. WHen I attached it to my Piccolo, damn the button got hot, took it off and it was now reading .43. Next one same thing this time even lower. So I took it apart and drained it, and took it apart, dried it put it on my om reader and again it was reading 1.22. I figured most likely the coil was sitting to high , touching the chimney. So again tired and got problems with it reading too low.

Now everytime I try to coil it Im having problems when I use 30 gauge. It just touches the screws or comes out all crooked.

Im sure its me and my stupid hands. I have very bad nerve damaged fingers so the space is tight. I have no problems with my Spheroid but I can have the coil as high as I like. Ive watched the videos by Chels at the site for use with cotton and kanthal and wathced Scotts and it seems so simple and amazing.

Maybe Im tired, maybe my thumbs that I cut earlier today are making me more handicapped. Im going to take a break and let my mind clear and my fingers stop bleeding, ( not the MiniAttys fault ) :)

BTW, Im impressed with its looks and feel. Machining is wonderful. Its a little beauty and it looks so nice on my Piccolo 4.

Well, got it up and running great so far. It was a combo of me with the messed up hands and me filling it wrong, and over torching the wire. Anyway, love it. Its a little beauty and beast. So simple, I was just being a spazz. I use 80-100VG so I packed it loosly and wide open juice control. SO far no dry hits. We'll see how it keeps up to my chain vaping or when I let it sit for a while.

I'm gonna need a new 510 connection for my mini that I got in the mail today. It is perfect and beautiful in every way except I can't get anything to thread more than a couple threads in :(

Let me know what to do please
Hm... What is that on the photo? It doesn't look like one of our atties and the 510 connector doesn't belong to a MicroStick...
Anyway, the best way to get support is to write here:

The reason is that then we will have a mail thread for that problem. It will be easier to track it for both of us.

The photos are beautiful! :)
The space between the posts and the chemney is very small, so that'\s why it's tricky to make a proper setup. In the latest version we reduced the posts, so there will be slightly more space. The MiniAtty is very small. There is no much space, so that's why we stated that it's for veterans.

I'm very glad that it works well for you and you like it :)

I have nerve damage and dexterity problems so I study and ask before I even attempt to buy.

I think the Mini was very simple to set up and vapes amazing and more simple I cant imagine for the features it offers. It is small and small hands and fingers I do have. Thanks for making a simple , well manufactured and thought out device......that works so well.

I sent a message to the link you posted. But yes that is the 510, I took it out of the mini stick to see if I could see anything wrong with the threads but they look fine. I tried many atties but none would screw in more than one thread

That is strange. I check it with the factory and reply to your email.

Well, Little Donkey, I love the miniatty. It withstood my "second coil and wick test" Many times in my rebuilding history it happens that my first setup comes out perfect. Maybe because I have studied so much and usually build while watching the instructional video. But many times on the second time something goes wrong.

Im used to it as my hands are very bad and it takes me a few tries to make the coil etc. My hands shake etc. But tonight I changed the coil out and though I had to make a second coil because I got it all crimped and crooked etc. It is a wonderful little atomizer. I think that if I keep at it Im going to be as fast ( sure ) at setting up as I am now with my Odys. I have been using the Odys for years so I am able to do it without thought.

I ordered one of your Mini Drip atties. I also got the other tank with the clear window and some drip tips. We shall see if I can get it set up with ease. And if I cant get it on the second coil, well, some lucky less handicapped person can have a go at it.

I have to say that your devices are very well finished and made. Thank you.

Little Donkey, let me ask you something I has already asked you per e-mail. The question was: if you consider to make a transparent tank for the Mini-Atty. Your answer was: you are thinking about it and there is going to be a solution in a week. And indeed, some days later the transparent dripping attys appeared.

But I meant the Mini-Atty proper and not a dripping one so let me repeat the question here: No plans about a transparent/partly transparent MiniAtty tank?

- and : anybody interested in it?

I think the option for a tank with clear section similar to tank on the mini drip would be amazing. The MiniAtty is the only atomizer that you can really use to the last drop without change in flavor that tonight I was using it and suddenly it just did not fire. I thought what the heck? So I took it apart and I guess the cotton was dry and just burned. Its so amazing how it vapes so consistantly as it empties. No gurgling, no dryish hits. It just vapes and then its empty.

SO YES, It would be great to see the juice level. But even if you dont, I love this little atty. I will just have to be careful to enjoy it toooooo much......

Yes yes YES, this is very true

I received my Miniatty two days ago. Nice idea with the coin! A small, but interesting marketing idea!

Looking first at the igotcha69 video review, I noticed that screw heads on my atty are bigger in diameter than the poles. In the video review, the screw heads are the same diameter as the poles. No way using a 2.4 mm rod for the coil ( like igotcha69), because I can't partially "sink" the coil between the posts, due to the screw heads. I also noticed that in purgen's video, he also uses a 2.5mm rod for coil. I can't, because my screw heads are too big, so I am stuck with 2mm internal diameter microcoils on 28 gauge Kanthal. Why the chimney is not 2 mm taller? Then it would have been housing a coil that is above the posts.

After 3 builds, I managed to "nail" the wicking with japanese cotton, so, now I can say that this atty is almost fantastic. Vapor wise, it is perfectly on par with Kayfun Lite Plus, which I have, if no better. Flavor wise, I say that Kayfun has a small margin.

A 3ml tank would be best; mine is 2ml.

So, Little Donkey, what about those screw heads?!

One more thing: the chimney edge is very sharp; it shaves the O ring from the upper part of the build deck. I already have 2 shavings.

I tried with 2mm silica, like purgen. Obviously impossible to insert two fold 2mm silica through 2mm microcoil.

Similar thoughts when I got mine last week. I definately have to get some orings, though I never have to close the juice control its perfect wide open. I was watching those same videos and noticed the screws on those were very streamlined which makes it easier to position the coil.

I try to keep the coil just off the screws , I assume one does not want the coil to touch the screws? I worry about the constant heat so close the screws. Like I said Im not the most knowledgeable or experienced in atomizers so maybe its nothing to be concerned about.
