I'll be honest, I bought these coils, they were super cheap and I've been wanting to try them so I figured what the hell. I knew I should of used something else. Maybe the aeolus pro would of been better.

For me they are only ever 'needed' when the airflow is too overwhelming for a regular coil. But some people will drop those kinds of coils in any atty they get their hands on. To each their own I guess.

True. I mean it's nice....but I'm not going to waste the time needed to make them. At least I can say I tried them now.

Am I missing something with these coils?? I don't see all the rage. Maybe it's the rda it's in or the juice in using? I think @kformeck you were right, I have this in the hobo and I find I like the basic build better. My pics suck but it's a fused clapton.

It's the rda. Try them in an Aeolus. The Lite is my new favorite rda.

Why would they publish a photo of a mangled prototype. Take a look at the 510 post connect to the deck...yeesh.
To show what the deck is going to look like? I mean it is a prototype not the finished product. All three Hellfire attys I have are machined exceptionally well and I'd have no qualms at all about buying the Predator.

ETA: I understand not every atty is for everyone but I think it's a bit unfair to rip on the machining of a prototype. I can understand not liking the setup of the deck, where the posts are, how many posts, type of airflow, etc. and making criticisms but the machining? Seems a bit harsh.

For sure. For me at least, I just didn't know what the situation was. All I knew was what I saw looked rough. I totally believe these atties are as good as I read/hear, but I could not remember hearing that they were necessarily machined so immaculately, though I had heard they were great performers. Now I've heard/read both.

I can understand that but the previous comment by Wharf seemed a bit harsh considering he acknowledged it was a prototype.

Stillare Mark 4 RDA by Cartel

Use coupon code: VSFLASHSALE20

Wow. Wish I would've waited. It's a good atty. But know that the top airflow can only be ONLY opened up in addition to the bottom, so you can't just use the top airflow. I wish the makers wouldn't do it like that.

For $48 though, I think it's a pretty good atty to have. I can't say it's a must-have, but if you are in the mood to buy something, I say go for it. In my limited experience, the flavor-possibility is a good 8 out of 10---but I think the chamber is just a bit too large for a 10 out of 10.

It may be a good time to use those exotic coils lying around. ;)

p.s. It's basically the same thing as the Hatty by Blitz Enterprises (in terms of general performance, max airflow, build deck and juice well) but this costs about 2x as much. However, on the Stillare (Mark) IV, you can close off the bottom airflow and on the Hatty it's always set to completely open. For some reason though, I can get better flavor off of the Hatty with the same build.

I don't think it was harsh considering the picture. The thing is mangled. If you are the annointed white knight of prototype atty pics then totally understandable. I'm not harshing on the Hellfire. I have never owned one. If you say they arrive pristine in minty condition I believe you.

I saw what I felt was an unfair comment and posted my thoughts about it. Unfair in the sense that the picture shows a prototype not an atty being sold to the public. If it was the latter, your comment would be pretty darn fair. That's all.

Just got the Doge V3. Pretty nice so far. Anyone else have it??

Not too sure if anyone in here has that atty but others sure seem to like them. I can't get down with an atty that has copper/brass where my liquid is, let alone with a positive block that big. But, to each their own. Vape on.

That's true. I feel you on the copper n brass. Only reason I got it was cause of the price n simplicity and I'm new to messing with rdas. I also got a Sigelei 150w and need a decent rda. As soon as I get more comfortable with building n all that I'll look into other rdas.

How much did you pay for the Doge if you don't mind me asking.

Still great! It's a different vape, no doubt, from what I've learned to love . . . but it's still holding its own.

I've yet to get back into the Origen v3 though I've been trying, but this was very easy to fall for again. The build was crazy easy too!

Right now that tip is the dopest tip I've ever had, and it's perfect for that atty. From what I've seen so far, JMK is A-1.

I love this whole set-up . . . it's all quality stuff. And I refuse to sell off my SXminis like so many I see in the classies. Quality products shouldn't go out of 'style'. This has already outlasted several mods!

What is that? A Nub? I bought a Doppel from him for my Derringer and love it. Kensi also makes some nice looking Teflon tips. Ought Vape sells 'em.


Yep, it's the Nub+, I think it was called. I also got a regular Nub, equally as sweet, and his Origen top cap. All dope!
