Got it in today. Threw in 3.5 mm vertibraid coils. Wicked it up, and it couldn't keep up.

Switch to fused claptons ar 3 mm, and its working like a champ. Stupid simple to build.

Air hole slots are a little high. Forces you to lift the coils up pretty high. Flavor and vapor production are average for this size of RDTA.

A lot of room to build on.

Wicks best if there is barely any wick protruding through the bottom of the wick holes.

Hey bud have you tried horizontal coils yet? Is it easier to build on than a velocity deck? Thanks for the feed back;-)

Hey bud could you post an update with some pics of your wicking or advice please,can't get mine to stop being turbulent,I have some 3 mm staple aliens in it nothing crazy it's a .2 ohm build vaping it at 55 watts,coils are set high so a little airflow can go under the coils,can barely see a little wick thru the glass and wicks are wet when looking at them but airflow is just not smooth still,any advice would greatly be appreciated ;-) thanks man

I am not really good at describing this, but it here it goes.
3 mm 30 guage vertibraid 7 wraps.
Coil was placed so that I drew a straight line from wicking hole to wicking hole.
Tighten the outside screw first, allowing the clamp to push the coil up naturally as it is tightened.
Resistance came out to 0.15 ohms.
Wicked it real tight in the coil, but I then cut ends of wicks to a V to allow just a little to protrude through wicking holes.
Wick ends up touching wall of barrel on either side of coil after installing air flow control.
This ensures air goes directly to coil.

Thank you for challenging me to do this. I had this shoved in a jar to play with later, and now I have it performing great vaping at 80 watts.

Thanks for the update and all the pics bud,I lifted my coils a little higher then you did because I noticed that if I did it didn't block that little hole that's between the two posts therefor letting air travel thru more freely,like you said kinda hard to explain but if you look thru the air slots right below the coils you'll it,I thought it might be way to airy but it was worth a shot as mine got turbulent after a few pulls,I have 3 mm coils in mine as well and the top of my coils are just a tad above the top of the posts ;-)
