For my vape I find that airflow will play a very important part of vape (flavor) as well as coil placement. I have an Nuppins, Odins, Cyclone AFC, and the Calice III that all have adjustable air flow and I do not use any of them with the airflow WAO. It helps that I like a bit of resistance in my draw but if I open them up too much I loose the flavor.

When getting a new atty I always start with the same 1/16 28ga .9ohm coil and build where I think it is in line with the air hole. Then I wick and vape. Rarely do I get it exactly right out of the gate. I adjust my air flow about 25-50% open then move the coil up and down to get a productive vape. Sometimes I tilt the coil/wick and move the airflow hole back and forth to see what difference it makes on the high end or low end. Each adjustment gets me closer to what I want. When I get the hole location where I want it I open and close the air hole for the sweet spot.

I do all of this in very small increments. As FB has said many times 1mm makes a big difference.

It may seem like all that is a PITA but it really just takes a few minutes of playing. The Chalice III was that hardest for me to get right but what I did not know is I had a cold coming on and my vape was off on all the single coil attys. I needed some dual coil builds to get the flavor back. Now with a full on cold flavor is gone.

Another thing to remember is If you use any type of organic wick then you just added another variable. I also dilute my juice and I am sure that that has an impact on the amount of airflow I like as well for taste.

Point is, a great vape has always been subjective to the person and all of these attys are capable of producing an amazing vape but it is not automatic. There are great pics and advice to get you started but play with it a bit and see if the reward is not worth the time.

Very well said sir. I haven't found an atty yet that I didn't like. Some just take more fiddling than others to dial in.

Come on SupX, it's cool on this side of town...:evil:

Why yes. Yes it is. But I'm not breaking under the peer pressure no more than I'm breaking under the self inflicted pressure to buy a new truck / car right now. My present attys / SUV are relatively new and do what I need them to do.

I believe most vapers fall into a category called "there's always something better". Well I'm really not one of them. My grands and Odins straight kick AYuss and are not going anywhere. I will say that I am going to get another Odin and router when I get my next grand though :) perhaps one of those black cerakoted ones Craig has been talking about.

Ya'll can have at it and keep searching for the end of the rainbow. I see the end of mine. It is in Robs picture of the new 510. Once I have a new grand with one of them, and another Odin to mount on it, and my three current grands are retrofitted with it, I will have reached the end of the rainbow.

But thanks for the gumball Mickey :)

Awe come-on that's no fun just shutting it down like that. You know you would look bad ayuss in a GMC Duramax with sun roof open, one arm on the wheel the other holding a REO rippin' on a nuppin'

That's no gum ball that's the whole dayum machine!!!! :D

My Nuppin came in yesterday and I've been playing around with it since.

A little background: this is the first larger chamber atty I've used that has AFC and I DIY'd the LP process on my standard Grand when the Nuppin got here. All my REO experience for the past 1.5 years has been RM2 and dual coil RM3, so it's been limited to the small chamber atty's. I use a DIY waffle mix and all I ever taste with it is a high end sweet feel. This sweet feel has been maximized with the RM3 - the best so far.

I've tried several variations of my usual dual 28g 6/7-wrap build - coil in/out to the edge, high/low/even to the air holes, and AFC opening adjustments etc., but I can't find the high end sweet feel to my juice on the Nuppin that I have with the RM3. I haven't tried a single coil setup but maybe I should...?

Is it more likely that this loss of the higher sweet notes is due mostly to the larger chamber? Am I beating my head against a wall to try and find it? I'm really wanting to love this cool Nuppin, but I've got to have that flavor. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

I've had no problem getting the high sweet notes of my juices to hit with the Nuppin', and I know what you mean about the RM3 (love that little thing).

Having the cols up high, even with the air holes, gives me the best flavour. I also found that upping the resistance (1 extra turn per coil) got me better performance - these things seem to hit a little harder than the RM3, so I was looking for a softer vape, but got better flavour.

I also found - and this is going to sound cray cray - that the flavour got better as the coils wore in, more so than with other atties.

Keep at it - it's a killer vape once you hit it. My experience has shown me that the Nuppin' doesn't exhibit the same flavour loss that a lot of bigger chamber atties do.

Thanks for the recommendations Papa_L. and that's encouraging to me. I probably haven't given any coils the time to break in - you know, the whole instant gratification deal. :p I'll stick with it and try an extra wrap.

Somehow I knew you would play it like that.... :p

That is what happened to me and the Odin. I got one and then had to have another. Here is my last sales pitch......I only use one of the Odins because a Nuppin replaced the other.

Nuppin" is on its way and wondering which drip tips are working well for yoy guys/gals?

I use repurposed Loki Labs ss dt's - the Omega and the Stub. I find it rocks with shorter, wider dt's. Heat dissipation doesn't seem to be an issue and I tend to run them wide open, so the wide bore works well.

You aren't going to get better performance in the Nuppin' with the same coils you ran in the RM2 and RM3. Just not going to happen. The biggest reason is it has an actual AFC. You need to lower your resistance to get a more effective vape. For instance, if you are running dual 28g coils @ .7Ω on the RM3 you need to drop to .4-.5Ω on the Nuppin'.

Yes I backed out the center pin 1 turn on all three of mine and I use the 1x10 mm o ring.

I asked him to back mine out for the LP before sending it. He is super helpful as you already know.

Hmmm. I didn't have to change the center pin on either of mine... they work just fine on my LP's the way they were received.

Yeah but.... any reason to make a new video is usually a good enough reason for you to bite. :D

Most of the time I'm running Signature Tips (UK) on my two Nuppin's (their glass ST050 - I have 2 SS and 2 Brass).

Loki lab Router bit drip tips here X 2.... swapped from the odins.... I might end up buying another nuppin' or two before they sell out... (for a woody or new grand or sumpin' ;) ) Im in love with them. The only thing is that they're in limited supply-- I can't think of anything else not to love... well, to get nit-picky, that they're allen head screws, but at least they don't get in the way/loosen themselves- they are smooth to tighten.
