Any of these BF RBAs would look and function beast on a pdib.

The cyclone (Indy vapor shop) is my favorite at the moment, all those are in a drawer :)

I have an era clone... which is solid stainless. It's the one I would have wanted to convert, because it's small, and cute (looks like a little beehive actually), and very nice. It's also reasonably inexpensive (less than $10 once shipping from China is factored in).

Looks a LOT like the Phoenix A4, but it's not got the holes through the middle of the posts, but the screws are nice. Sorry for the juicy build pix, it happened to have Maja Ras in it and I didn't want to throw that out for pix:

Relative sizes (reference would be gdeal's 2nd from right esolid, which is on my left):

If you like this look, I'd be happy to mail you mine to see if it would be worth converting, then give you info to order direct.

Oh... and it hits so hard that I had to put it on an Ego-C to be vapable... LOL!

I like the ERA clones. What is that giant white donut at the center post. Obviously the insulator but what material is it made of?

Hi, sorry for the late response... the white thingie is I THINK food grade silicone. Last build I did in it, I forgot about it, and stuck the coil RIGHT ON it, thinking it was a piece of old cotton. It singed a bit, but not right away, it took the coil to be red hot for a few seconds for the singing to even begin, so it's pretty high temp stuff, as the direct red coils pressed into it didn't even melt it, just browned it a bit in one small spot.

When I first went to see if it was drillable, I pulled the pin out from the bottom, and the entire center unit came out... so to drill, it would have to be slotted maybe? I don't know... going to mail it to pdib and he can decide what the best drilling method might be. I'm thinking maybe through the middle of it, and then at the bottom? The white stuff is not an o-ring but a little silicone sleeve that travels down the tube, so yes, I think it's an insulator.

Now I don't have anywhere near what some people have *looks at MamaTried*... but this is the best of my 3 RDA types. It hits like a truck. So much so that I am gasping for breath if I hit it on a normal setting... thus the Ego-C, since there's no need for power. This could just be from my inexperience building RBA coils too. I dunno, so the quality of the comparable vape I have to leave to others to help decide.

The tip tho is THE BEST part. If you get a matching wood tip, you can use this tip on something else, but this tip is just perfect if you have small lips. I know everyone has a different preference, but I can't even use the Kayfun standard tip for example. The teeny pinch in the center is wonderful. I like thinner and smaller tips, and this is as small and thin as you can get, so it's one of my all time favorite tips too:).

Other thing... this is guaranteed 303 machine grade stainless steel all through. No plating. No brass. No mystery metal.

As for where/how I got it, that's a slightly long story. But I am hooking pdib up for you guys, at a price you can not only live with, you will be happy about:).

Ditto the above... I am most excited about this because of the 'one of a kind' aspect. A beautiful wood makes it that much more potential. And I fully plan for this to become my favorite fancy mod... my 'precious' that I'd want to tie a lanyard to and wear around my neck. As much as I love the Provari, I'm not wearing no dildo shaped anything around my neck :blink:

So I would really like a small low profile rba to go on top.

Haha she said dildo...

Is it time for some more wood love? I love the look of natural wood, however, I also like the look of Peacock feathers... go figure? But here are a couple of pics of my "sometime" this quarter or next Dibby... :laugh: Just in "Raw" form... lol.

Box Elder Burl in Blue... Mmmm.

That's a spectacular piece! Like a map of the seas of some distant planet. :)

Is it thick enough? :?:

It matches the specs that you secretly sent me via PM except it is 1/2" over in one dimension 3/16" over in another and spot on 2" in the third... Let's hope I didn't FUBAR it. :blink:

An adjustable air flow top cap for iGo W, Nimbus and Helios…. just saying, this type of thing is available for those that like "big bore" vaping.

Helios clone with Dual coil hits like a freight train. .9 on a Chi You... The thing that I'm not in love with on this one is the headless allen head wire capture screws, perhaps the original had a different arrangement? Other than that.... KILLER.
