Ok I'm a fan of small attys as most of you know by now.....but this is a little ridiculous. Its smaller then a dime and that's WITH a drip tip.

Luckily, we know this trend can only go so far.

the problem I see with all these really short atties is cap retention, there's just not enough engagement for a really secure cap. I got the derringer and the cap pops off way to easily, I am tempted for a stumpy but I'm afraid the cap retention might also be not so great. I pocket mods and sometimes pull them out of my pocket atty first. nothing sucks more than a cap popping off and a coil full of pocket lint :)

anyone know if either the stumpy or the nectar micro has a really secure cap? somehow I kinda doubt it

Stumpy is good and tight...Manta 2 is very tight...not a chance pulling the top cap off.

Introducing … The Dingy by @flawlessdistro for all you flavor chasers! Horizontal slit airflow, large wide board built in tip, deep juice well, milled negative posts, to name a few of its features! Will be available in stores and online very soon!

Couldn't figure out how to share the entire post with photo and all from Instagram but that's Flawless' post about an upcoming atty. If you click the link you can see it for yourself, though it's just a shot of the outside. Despite my comments about the trend of small attys, this is from Flawless, I'm a Flawless fanboy, so I'll be ordering it Day One.

The looks aren't appealing or the idea? I guess I'd have to see the deck and all first. I'm betting it's going to be their usual three post setup but we shall see. The actual looks of it are kind of meh. I think it would've been awesome with a little dinghy picture as a logo as opposed to Dingy printed in giant letters. I still need to pick up a Production but I'm waiting for the inevitable splatter version so I can get the zombie blood splatter or green and black splatter.

i've just been getting more and more into higher wattage vaping with 1-2 second draws, it's very similar to how smoking a cig used to be but the smaller chamber RDA's are mostly a waste for high wattage. I would buy it for one of my mechs though, should be able to run higher gauge and get better battery life with a somewhat similar draw.

A while back, Rule posted that the Manta o ring size is 19 X 1mm so I got some. And I got a third manta through a trade, and put those orings in it, and - it seems to me these are not the same as the stock orings but they should have been stock. It's a great fit, nowhere near as tight as the stock ones. Just letting people know, if you don't care for the super tight manta top cap, get some 19 X 1mm o rings.

I freaking love the manta :)

I noticed this post by sloth last night. Think I may get some to alleviate the rocking back and forth I'm now doing to get the top cap on.

O rings are a vapers best friend. My d top caps were loose til I swapped o rings.

turbo, I think the top cap looseness is really a non issue, I just use some dental floss under the oring and my derringer is as secure as it can be, I sometimes need to use a screwdriver pressed against the positive in order to get the cap off!!
