Late to this party but just got mine today and am blown away. Flavor is rivaling if not better than my Stumpys and Thumpys and Hastur and Odin and Petris....well, strike Petri[emoji5]

Anyway, put a 26g, 317L SS, 3mmID Parallel ZCOIL on her that came in at .15-.18 ohms.

The trick to trapping dual wires is to twist them once at the ends that loop around your screws and cram them down hard. These screws can take a nice sized flat head driver easily for max leverage.

I love the draw and the flavor is so strong it's almost gagging me out. The SS wire really punches you in the face with flavor. Pics to prove it!

Are there any Nardas on FT that come with bf-pin?

I Haven't seen any. I did come across this when I was First considering getting a NarDa...

Bottom Feed Pin for NarDA | Nar Mods

But it has be OOS for a Long Time. So they might Not be Offering them.

There was no option when I bought mine. I think a modded Fat Daddy will work. Perfect atty for a squonker.

That's what I Did on mine. And have been using it on a DripBox almost Exclusively.

You do have to do Some Grinding on those Fat Daddy BF Pins. But if you have a Drill and a Dremel, it is Relatively easy.

Doing it by Hand would kinda be a PITA. But still Doable.

Loving the NarDA to! The only things that annoys me is the whistle. Anyone have a solution?

Sharp Edges can cause Whistling. If you are good with a Small File, Sometimes smoothing the Air Slots can Help.

But be forewarned. 1st Rule in the shop is... "You can take it off. But you Can't put it back on."

A small little monement of the top cap usually solves it for me and less of a draw as well. Remember vaping is not smoking. Let the vapor come up to you...don't suck it up until your eyes balls pop out[emoji12]

Ahah, I don't [emoji16]. I'm a MTL vaper, I enjoy that relaxed pull. The problem is that the moment when the NarDA makes more whistle, is when i pull gently.

Coil positioning may have a little role as well. Mine generally does not whistle. How about that flavor though?

My coil is centered. I also tried in diagonal, but is the same. The flavour is really awesome. To be honest, the vape on this is awesome. If the whistle didn't exist, it would be the most close approach to something called like "perfect vape"

It really is a hell of a vape. After 2 solid weeks O did tee up a bigger atty, my Goon 528 just because I miss that bigger vape but the Narda is something else. I did tee up a Stumpy too with my favorite NET vape. Stumpy very good as well.

But the flavor!

Check wharfrat's photos; that's like my setup. Make sure wicks are not obstructing the air holes. I note some air noise but not more than many RDAs. Noiced noise is somewhat less on harder draw ( go figure...).

Will do! But for now, I "found" a way to get rid of it. I aligned the top cap air holes with the gap behind the screws, and not the inside air holes. The flavor is slightly less, but no whistle! [emoji16]. Some pics:

I might see it... Appears there's a bevel around the outside edge of the air hole in the base? This could create a V-shaped gap just inside the cap (kind of shaped like a flute...) where the smaller hole in the cap is backed by a V-shaped cavity in the base. My units look like Warfrat's and has a 90 degree angle there. Think you would only want bevels on the outside edge of the cap and inside edge of the base. Not sure how to address without filing the cap to match larger diameter of the bevel in the base.
