Oh just lurking about as usual! Miss seeing you and a lot of folks over in the NET thread. Things change though... Heck I remember when you had zero interest in RDAs!
When I saw that chamber I knew I had to have it. Next up is probably The Zenith or the SOD 5K. The decks look identical but I kind of like the idea of the tank addition on the Zenith.
I know, right?

Isn't the original version two piece? If so, this says three piece so I'd guess that means AFC as well. If the original is in fact also three piece just ignore me.
OG is three piece. This has no AFC. On a side note I hate when companies do this. Its 2015 and your RDA costs OVER $100 in Canada. Put an AFC on it for people who want it or just start putting out the new batches with the screw. Dont change a screw and release a new version. Thats my thinking anyways.
Barrel, cap and deck. Three piece RDA.

Yeah the OG is a 3 piece design like Toronto said, but no air flow control kinda like the v1 tugboat. I agree about companies doing this I can't stand that, the OG shoulda had it to begin with. The next one will be a mini lol companies love doing that too, making a 2nd design right after the first one came out and make it shorter and charge more. Makes sense...

Yea thats another thing that bothers me, mini versions. I really do think the Petri is a fantastic RDA BUT the draw is essentially how I set up an RDA WITH afc so to me the no afc is fine. If you wanna adjust af well I can see the issue.
I usually run my attys wide open as well so the no AFC is not a huge deal to me but if there would've been an AFC version upcoming I would've went with that one just to have options.
I think Flawless did an excellent job with the Tugboat V2. Instead of having to buy a brand new $89.99 mini version of the Tugboat, they put out a reasonably priced new top cap to serve the same function. Then they put out the Anarchist X cap for people who want even more airflow.
Oh forgot to add that I got the Le Magister up and running. I have some issues with it - the positive post has a thumb screw and if you have big hands and fingers (I happen to) it's kind of a PITA to tighten it down. I was unsuccessful in getting a dual coil set up thanks to that (I'll try again later) so I went with a simple .8 ohm spaced coil. It's 2.5mm ID and that just barely fits. I was hoping to try a Ni200 build in it but I don't think that's in the cards. I'll have to wait til I pick up some Ti to try a temp control build. The flavor is good, not great but I'm reserving judgment until I can get a better build in it. The o-rings are unbelievably tight right out of the box. Took forever to get that top cap off but I lubed the o-rings so hopefully that will help when I need to get it back off. It's in between an RTA and an RDA (Vaponaute refers to it as an RTA so I guess I shouldn't argue with the manufacturer). I love the looks of it and it's machined extremely well. "Wide open" in single coil mode is on the restrictive side. I can get a lung hit off of it but just barely. Sometimes I like a tighter draw so that's fine. It's wicking well and overall I enjoy it.
I have not a bad word to say about Flawless. I agree 100%. I find the Tugboat v2 a smidge restricted. Slam Cap IMO is perfect. I to run my RDAs wide open BUT I use a more restriced RDA. Id never run a cloudchaser RDA (well I dont use them anyway) open if I used that style.
You ganna get a Petri? Im contacting that site Mann linked and I am probally ordering one. My wife has one but I hate gear thats not black, ss, copper or brass. She has a red one. I think its an amazing dripper, massive juice well on it.
There's a fairly good chance I'll get one. I wish they'd put out a green version of it (I try to get as much of my vape gear in green as possible) but if not I'll probably get either the matte blue or matte black. Thanks to this thread my wish list for drippers is growing.
I understand fully haha. I have been planning on getting one for a while just been waiting for a new one but it doesnt seem like dotmod has any plans. Another twopost dripper I need is the newest Hobo. Should I order one boys? My Stumpy just shipped but I thinned my attie collection out sooo much theres just four here.
I don't get the deal with the Stumpy. It seems like it's just a two post Derringer. That's certainly not a bad thing as I think most of us in the thread seem to prefer two post designs but I don't understand why it is supposed to magically have much better flavor.
Sure, go for the Hobo! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Dude, if you have to come ask us if you should buy a Hobo when you clearly have an addiction to drippers...the answer is a resounding "YES"!!
