They have the steam stack, dunno if that floats your boat at all. My SC never really gets to hate, furthest I go with the Tug is basic claptons though.
Mine never did either, until today, I went a little low for the hell of it. Normally I don't drop below .20 but I decided to today, after a couple hits its pretty warm, not hot I should say. I'll probly get the square cap actually. I'm sure my local vape shop will get them they always get everything flawless.

That is a strange topcap, airflow on the four corners of a dual coil atty? Doesn't look like it's adjustable either, it's nice to see more and more companies moving toward top airflow, I think i'll pass on this one though. I wonder when Flawless is going to come out with a Tugboat v3, they've been milking the v2 forever now with all these caps.

I hope I'm wrong but I don't see them doing a V3 anytime soon. They don't seem to want to get away from the 3 post, the Production and the Dinghey are 3 post and they have all these caps come out for the V2 like you said. You think they would have came out with a new deck design for the last 2 releases but the Production is actually a step backward with he air flow control fins with the offset coil placement.

Hope they are saving something better for a V3, maybe a surprise at ECC? But with the new square cap I doubt it.

Flawless will definitely have to do something different soon. They can't keep riding the Tug V2 forever. The Dinghy is very enjoyable for me but its just another small RDA. Those AFC fins killed the Production for me though I'll probably buy one when Flawless has another big sale. I'm sure they have to at least be talking about what to do with a V3 of the Tugboat if not working on a design. If not and a V3 never comes out, I still have my V2s and will use them until they break. Hell, if they go on sale for $45 again I'll probably by another with a Slammed Cap.

Yea, it's pretty crazy how long they've been riding that horse, don't get me wrong the Tug v2 is a great atty, the popularity is understandable and the caps are great, it's nice to be able to just spend 25-30 bucks on a cap instead of buying a whole new atty but I think they're just getting lazy now. I mean how do you release a top airflow cap that significantly changes everything about the atty without redesigning the deck to accommodate it? If it's really just 4 airlholes drilled through the corners of a square cap I'm going to be really disappointed with Flawless and i've been a pretty big fanboy of their's :/ Hopefully i'm wrong and theres something great about this lol

I can't tell what material these caps are made of. The drip tip appears to be delrin and might not even be built in like the other caps that've come out but it's hard to say for sure. I see a seam around the base of the drip tip which is what makes me think it's possible you can remove it.


Here's hoping for a 2 post deck from these guys too.

Definitely agree. A Tugboat V3 that features a two post deck would be an insta-buy for me. I think they should go with a top cap about the size of the Slammed Cap but include AFC. And not friggin' AFC fins like the production. True, adjustable AFC.

I've been using the Sapor all week. Same build: 26ga/3mm/dual coil coming to 0.43 ohms (at 44.0 watts on SX MiniM.) While the flavor won't cause the Manta, Marquis, Vector any sleepless nights about flavor the Sapor provides a decent amount.

Airflow is fine. Build is easy. The included standard wide bore drip tip is nice, similar but a tich bigger than the Marquis tip. Its comfortable and open enough for a relatively cool vape. Not one leak and holds an adequate amount of juice.

I think it's a very good deal for the price and if you don't want to drop a pile of dough the Sapor should be a consideration.

Yeah I don't see a tugboat v3 coming out. And honestly they need to let that thing die already. Yeah it's great and all but they've milked the cow dry. I'd rather see something else from them honestly....other than new caps, and the same old 3 post design done in 3 different variations.

Finally got my Nixon RDA y'all!! It came to me clean and ready to vape. The post holes are a bit smaller than I expected, but shouldn't be a problem considering the four post design. The airflow is much more stiff than I expected, but I personally love it! The flavor is great and the juice well holds a ton!! I have yet to encounter any leaking, despite just dripping 15 drops through the "chuff" cap. On the chuff cap, it's kinda cruel joke to call it that. It's honestly pretty tiny! No clipped leads when I built this thing... so my first impression of it so far is great!

Hey @TorontoOntario, what setup do you have in your Stumpy. Mine is out for delivery today... Single, dual, center, offset, wire, wicking, just to get an idea?
I've got a dual twisted build in mine. 26g/25g 7 wraps. I find twisted builds work best in the stumpy, it doesn't get super hot and the flavor is off the charts. The post holes are on the smaller side so you may have difficulty getting any complex builds in there.
