Scott igetcha69 reviewed a prototype as it is said at our site in the description of MiniAtty. We decided to use standard (instead of custom) screws as it helped us to reduce the price of the MiniAtty.
The chimney could be taller. That's right. I think it will be higher in the next version.
For now Chels decided to shorten the pins. That should also help. With the 1st batch of the MiniAtty, the optimal parameters to avoid shortens:
- max. wick diameter - 2mm
- the wick is between the posts, not above them
- max. Kanthal diameter - 0.28mm
This would make the MiniAtty much longer. We decided to stay with 2ml, but maybe you're right and it would be better with 3ml.
Good comment. I sent a note to Chels about it. None of the reviewers told us about it.
He had the version which went to series. So you should have exactly the same dimensions of the MiniAtty as purgen.
The first run is still in progress. We shipped the first items less than a week ago.
Now eagerly waiting for a feedback
I dont have a problem with the 2ml capacity, after all the whole Idea for it was to have a small tank atomizer that looked amazing, works fantastic and looks great on 16mm devices like the MicroStick but on my GP Piccolo 4 its amazing beautiful. I have my "tanks" of the tank atties, the Odys for large capacity; 5ml and its still rather slim and elegant for such a heavy tank.
I really hope to see your Mid Atty, Little Donkey. Those will be fantastic on my 22mm PAPs's.

Thank you for your answer. Two proposals:
1. Screws with smaller head diameter offered as spare parts. Luxury spare parts, if you want
. I will buy it!2. For those who bought the first version of the Miniatty and want to buy the second version, it will be very nice a discount
Hi, we already have a better solution. We've already shortened the pins for all MiniAtties that are in stock now. It became easier to setup the MiniAtty as the chamber of the chimney is higher. If you have an old version of the MiniAtty you can order those shorter pins for only $2 (international shipping for small orders is $5):

Hey Little Donkey, I've got two MiniAttys and here's my 
They both work great, but the second one has a chimney that is some what harder to get off and on. The washer does receive damage at times. Where as the first one slips on like a glove, perfect. I haven't experienced any difference with the pins. Both accept my builds just fine. I would suggest though, since this is my all day atty, solid pins similar to the Spheroid would most defenantly be a BIG plus. I would pay extra, perhaps a version 3 upgrade sort of thing Maybe some time when stock is developed you can offer parts such as base, chimney and tube on your web page.
Also, I'm curious why the holes were both aligned on one side on version 2? The draw seems a little bit more airy then need be but, does help to clear out juice faster if flooding does take place.
Anyways, I think both attys are a hit regardless of which one I use and finally I have some thing small, stealthy and dependent enough that will get me through a 12 hour shift at work. Oh yeah, Minneapolis is no friend to vapers anymore. Just sayin.
Keep up the good fight, Chels!!!

Thank you for kind words! Such reviews make us very proud of what we do.
Ok...so I've been asked by a friend of mine to post some pictures of a finished coil below the screws. The pictures show the first run with the base having two holes opposite one another. Version 2 has them side by side. Version 1 has one higher post. All and all, I've noticed no operational deference between the two. In other words, both work great. So here are some pictures that maybe helpful to any one having trouble.

Notice after connecting the coil, use your tool threaded to the coil to lower and adjust the coil off the screw heads. Then test burn the coil to see that it burns smoothly from center outward. If the burn is hesitant or partial it's touching a screw head. Insert tool again and tweak some more, then test. After this, be sure the screws are still snug before assembling and test once more.

The coils pictured are 28g and have 7 wraps. These measure out at 1.1 ohm.

Glad that you like it
The chimney probably will be higher in the next run. Also we will make the chimney edge not so sharp and it will not cut the o-ring.
What do you mean by that? Could you please specify how they are aligned?
And thank you once again for response!

They're the venting holes on the base; 
No big deal. Was just curious why you thought the change was necessary. I assume it maybe a production thing. Either way, like I said, if flooded it's much quicker to clear out the liquid by tipping it on a napkin for a minute or two. It drains faster.

I am glad you like it! The demand for the MidAtty was very low and we decided not to start production. If we can find at least 100 subscribers we'll start production.

Your photos and instructions look so clear! Can I post them in FAQ?
As for the holes - it just slightly optimized the production.
Well thank you very much. I would be delighted if you can use theme.
What is the diameter of the needle you used for the coil?
And why do you pull the ends of the wick through the base slots? Obviously, you will trim them, but I am interested which is the reason you made this complementary step.

The filling needle is 16g., slightly bigger then a 1/16 bit.
As for the wicking, I guess I just chose to leave longer tails, kneading the ends and poking those through the base with my fingers. Then of course cutting them off as short as I could, then pulling them back up just slightly. Once I've got it lined up, I use this to push it through and pull out the base. Also to pull it back up near the coil pulling the remaining tails back in a bit...
Anyways, I guess it's just another way to get those pesky small tails through the base.
Changing the subject, because I've finally solved the problem with my Microstick button sticking. It had been binding to the point where occasionally it would even stay compressed for a moment after releasing. I'm thinking I can still hear it running
cleaned the hexagon post, still happening. Steel wooled it and still happening. Reluctant to put a drop of oil on it, I brushed a bar of soap on the post. Woohoo! Just like new.
Thanks Little donkey for making it so easy to give up smoking

Great! Happy that you've managed to solve it!
