Need RTA similar to Nautilus Mini

[lazyspacetruck]

I like the nautilus mini with the t-tank. It looks awesome on my provari mini and fits great in my pocket. I like both mouth to lung and strait lung hits and I never use anything but the most open airhole for both. I do have to let some air in from the side of the drip tip to get a strait lung inhale.

That said, I'm looking for an RTA that is small, with adjustable air flow that is loose enough for lung hits. I also need to be able to tighten the draw at least similar to the largest hole on the nautilus mini so I can mouth to lung.

E leaf lemo would be my suggestion.... You can have wide open air flow for lung inhales and can make it as closed off as the smallest airflow setting on the the nautilus and everything in between. Fantastic flavor as well, and easy to build on.

Edit: It is quite a bit larger than the nautilus mini though... They are about to come out with a smaller version... I believe its called the lemon drop??? (that may be wrong)

Try the Kayfun Lite + v2 from EHPRO- Its not as big as the LEMO but its really a soild vape once you get your builds down.

Once you are bored of the Kayfun you can safely run to the LEMO = Kayfun on steroids !!!!

 

[bholcomb22]

I don't recommend the kayfun lite.... It has a super tight draw. You won't get the lung inhales you're after.... But it is a fantastic product.

Yeah the direct lung hits requirements kill the Kayfun suggestion, sorry about that. , LEMO all the way OR take a look at the new Russian v2.0 (not v2 but v2.0) I hear you can open her up pretty wide with the new AFC ring. LEMO $33 / Russian v2.0 $115

I'm leaning toward the lemo but would love something that is not super heavy and big. I have a kayfun lite and a Russian. I have drilled out both of them. I was able to get the Russian draw perfect but the kayfun had the airhole too close to the deck edge to drill any more. The biggest problem is they are heavy and large.

Found this "Lemo Drop" in another thread:
Lemo Drop Atomizer

Can't find a place to buy it though. Could be exactly what I'm looking for.

Here's a pic of what I have now:

You can get the bell cap for the Kayfun. It comes with a shorter chimney section and significantly reduces the size of the thing while looking pretty damn cool.

Alternatively, there's the Nano Quartz drop kit:

I was not able to drill out the kayfun lite as much as I wanted. I even drilled the center pin. I do have a kit on it that makes it shorter though.

If you're not totally dead set against RDAs, you could consider a Veritas. It's very leak resistant and runs great in single coil so it'll work well on your Provari. The airflow is good enough to do lung hits and the flavour is in the top 2 or 3 of the RDAs I've tried. The only downside is that it doesn't hold as much juice as the Nautilus mini.

 

[lazyspacetruck]

I really appreciate the suggestion but I have a box mod for my RDAs. I'm looking for a small tank so I can grab it on the way out the door with little hassle. The nautilus mini works great for that but I prefer to build my own coils. I looked at the squape reloaded but it is huge.

Even when the eleaf Lemo Drop comes out it will probably have that airflow adjustment underneath that looks like it will be a pain to deal with.

I'm not sure what I should do. I thought this would be easier.

Well, there's the Erlkonigin Nano, but it's pretty expensive.
The Erlkoenigin - Nano 3ml (0,1 oz)-EK-042

The standard Erlkonigin is also not too big and if it's too expensive, there are clones out there. No clones yet of the Erlkonigin Nano, though.

For lung hits i would have to say the foggers or orchids. Not the smallest but they make up for it in vapor production.

 

[stanthemanchan]

Fogger / Orchid might not do too well with the 15W limit of the Provari.

 

[lazyspacetruck]

I can make it hot enough with 15 watts for me. I can blow some great clouds with 1.9 ohm coils if the air hits the coil right at 14 watts.

I agree but building dual coils in parallel and understanding the ohms law behind that is a bit of a steep ramp for a new builder...best for vape...not a starter rta....

(sent from Mars, it's not as red as I imagined.)

 

[lazyspacetruck]

I appreciate what you are saying but I have an engineering degree from the university of Texas at Austin and we are not talking about a starter kit. I just need a small device for when I put my box and tobh down on the way out the door. I know how to build coils. That's not the issue. I need something portable for my pocket that looks great on the provari and has open draw. I don't want it to be top heavy. The aspire nautilus mini is OK but rebuilding one of those crappy coils is a pain. Your right about me not needing dual coils for this application though.

 

[lazyspacetruck]

So far the Eleaf "Lemo Drop" looks like the winner even though the airflow is a pain to adjust. I probably won't adjust it that much anyway.

However, I can't find a place to buy it yet so all other suggestions are welcome. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to help. I've already seen a bunch of great suggestions. Please keep them coming.

I use drippers exclusively when at home but use tanks when out and about. The best setup for that is my 22mm SS Erlkonigin mounted on top of my Vapor Flask. Only my opinion of course.

I use the optional open draw posi post holder (2mm vs 1.5mm) and do not use the afc. This provides the most air flow on the Erlk and although not as open as an RDA it is quite airy. For me anyway. I also leave the "wick" ring off as well.

Just saw a review on this and it looks awesome. Steep price though. May just have to pay.
