Yep, Odis Collection and Design. Cap fits the Drifter and the NarDA. Not sure if it is ever in stock or not.

ODIS ULTEM HOBO DRIFTER CAP

IMO, that's kind of a hack. Yeah, it 'fits', but the airflow doesn't line up properly. At least that's what I can see in pics people have posted.

I take it you didn't get that it was a sarcastic remark. Its all good man. Not everyone can read "every" post here, maybe you missed that one!!! Take your time when reading the forum and try not to let your hatred keep you from reading the important posts!!!
I read all your recent posts about Nareg and/or the NarDA before responding. They were fairly similar to all of your previous posts. I certainly don't feel any hatred toward you if that's what you meant. I reserve that for people who truly deserve hatred not someone that I disagree with about something trivial. That being said, I do find it irksome that you insist on posting the same basic comment about Nareg and the NarDA every time one is mentioned.

Got a Maker in today. I traded my Hobo V3.1 w/NarDA pin for a Catfish modded Maker. The Hobo was great but, fighting the slots/tab/rotation thing was irritating me. Loved the flavor though.

The Maker so far is very much like the Manta in thought but, without the fiddly AFC that bugged me on the Manta. Same sort of top fed air with more holes than the Manta and when you get the holes aligned they stay aligned.

Put a 24 ga .4 ohm centered (well, almost...hehe) centered coil.

The slots incorporated into the top cap control the amount of air

On the Catfish modded Maker he offered the option of sanding off the Maker logo on the barrel which the previous owner got done. I'm liking this very much so far with flavor and warmth.

Well I'm always late to the party, so sorry if this was discussed like 6 months ago, lol.
But on a whim i just picked this up, and I'm impressed.
ALWAYS lookin' for a good squonking atty, and this came with a BF pin installed.
Yeah, it's a clone...
So -
a) Like I said - squonk-ready, a big plus for me
b) Came with Ultem tip, AND an SS drip tip adapter (a must - in case I don't like the bore of theirs); AND an integrated Ultem top cap/tip.
That Ultem cap has adjustable top AIR, in ADDITION to the side air slots. I can't imagine using both - the airflow feels like, well like breathing with no restriction AT ALL. Kinda weird.

Anyway, I took a NarDa off to give this thing a vape...and ya know what? I'm gonna leave it there.
Exceptionally good.
I mean, maybe I just got lucky with a build...but frankly, I thought my wicking kinda sucked - and yet...boom. Tons of vapor, good flavor, and room left to adjust the air either way.

It's my "go-to" build actually - I looked and looked at the weird 6-post setup and just couldn't think of anything else that was going to shine on a mech (my preference). I suppose if I had 200 watts, I might have gone another way.
Kanthal, dual, 6-wrap, 27g, 2.5mm for 0.4-ish.

Pancake clone, $20 from 3F vape.

Todd has a first look thing up for this, spends most of the time mocking the name. Is interesting I guess, not very inclined to buy one though


For a Single Coil RDA, the NarDa styled air direction makes sense. And I like the Concept of a "Fuse" Coil. But as was seen when Todd hit that Clapton Coil, fixed ends make it hard to "Pring" the Coil.

Not exactly on the Top of my list of things to run out and Buy. But an Interesting Design.

This is more or less identical to the thoughts I had. I don't really want one but is a cool idea for various scenarios that has potential if the issues are worked out. The only other thing I could think of at the time was that the design might be much better suited to something like a notch coil or similar that has a rigid design.
