Out of curiosity, what advantage does a hybrid base give you? I switch my DIDs in and out (different flavors) and seems the 510 connector makes it pretty easy and PV agnostic.
Well there are a few advantages that hybrids provide over traditional setups in which the atomizer and mod are two separate components, but in my opinion, the greatest advantage is that by eliminating the 510 connector from the design, and instead having the positive contact of your atomizer making immediate contact with your battery, you're removing one of the greatest points of series resistance in the circuit. So basically, the fewer steps it takes to get from the battery to the coil, the less voltage drop from the battery to the coil. Though the points of contact from the + post to the coil are arguably the most influential factors in decreasing series resistance, the number of contacts in the ground connections of the circuit will also alter the performance. So the fewer threaded connections and fewer points of contact from your battery to your coil, the harder your device will hit. Minimizing the steps in the circuit also contributes to added space efficiency, resulting in either smaller devices or devices of equivalent dimensions to their mod/atty equivalent but with increased tank capacities.
Another solid advantage is hybrids reinforced structural integrity (listen up Tony), because the connection between the atomizer and battery tube employ threaded sections with diameters that are the same as the tube itself at its widest point (unless you have any unique protrusions like the tank cover on the Katana for instance), versus a 7mm OD 510 connector that's trying to holding together two 22mm tubes.
Gotcha, kinda like "frogs legs"
