Did you get black out drunk Then shop? Why do you need two dna200 mods lol?
Nah just really tired. I ordered one then there was an issue with the battery mfg that the mod uses and they said they didn't know when they were gonna ship so I ordered another one from a different place.

Has anyone tried the twisted messes rda? Just curious. I heard some good things about it on ECG and it's only like 50 bucks
I have the El Cabron. The Twisted Messes is just a tweaked version of it - bigger post holes, split center post and different looks. If you love crazy builds and a metric f-ton of airflow, it's probably right up your alley. As for flavor, IMO, it's meh. Very meh. If I thought someone would actually buy my El Cabron I'd list it on the classifieds 'cause I'll never use it again.

So essentially you guys are saying it's a cloud chasing rda? Good for what it's worth then I guess.

My LowPro just arrived. Swapped out the positive pin with the included bottom feed pin. Still getting a soak, but I'll build it shortly. Smaller ID on the feed pin than I have used. Hope it squonks easily. Quality is similar to the mutation sx. I would guess it is made in China. I expected a little bit nicer for the price, but there is some precise machining for the offset positive post.

Well that's good and bad! I was hoping they would be good quality. But I haven't even gotten mine, but my mail doesn't come till later so I'm hoping but not that much. Come back once you build it please!

Okay, I had to build on it. It could be easier for a two-post design because that barrel doesn't come off and you have to insert your coils parallel to the top of it--that creates a tight space, but with a .48Ω on it (dual 24 g, 6 wraps around a~3.2mm bit) my first impression was "oh, lawd!" In case anyone doesn't get what that means, it means that is a bleep ton of flavor! Quality, smooth, rich flavor! This may be just a one-off kinda deal, so I will vape on it more. The draw is kinda restrictive but kinda open at the same time. It's weird. I gotta say, if this holds up like this, I have yet to experience an atty in a long time that tasted this good without having to put in "special" flavor coils. Please, know these are my very first impressions and it may be an anomaly.

Notes: no room for thick wires beyond maybe 22 g.

Edit: back down to earth now. LOL. Not too sure what was up, but those first couple hits were incredible! Now it's just a solid good flavor-atty. Not earth-shattering good, but good.

Toronto, i think i remember you saying you were using your origen v3 on a SMPL; is the bottom pin adjustable? Looking at mine i wouldn't feel comfortable putting mine on a hybrid with the amount the pin sticks out.

Okay, I got my first build mounted. Dual 24 gauge, N80, 3mm ID, 4 (full) wide spaced wraps. I had to wick the coils before I mounted them. No tails to really speak of. Definitely, not the beginner's RDA. Flavor is intense with the air full open, better at 3/4. The small squonk hole is not a problem. The rise off the deck due to the offset positive post prevents the atty from completely draining, but it mostly drains.

They should not have cut a single coil slot. In dual coil mode you have to be careful that the single coil slot is on the positive block side of the deck. If running a single coil, one of the double coil slots will be in front of the negative block. The negative block has slots clear through; so, there will always be air leaking in and possibly juice leaking out.

Did you install those wicks before installing those coils? That seems like a chore to get those wicks in place if done after the coil installation.

I got my Low pro in today as well. First looks aren't as impressive as I was hoping for. I agree with what was said earlier by Verb about the single coil option.....I don't get what they were thinking, the one air hole isn't even completely blocked off. Another thing is these drip tips or tops screw onto the low pro.....good luck over time with that, then what? It's not like you can just use your own drip tip. And that squonk hole is ungodly small lol like pin size small. Glad I won't be using that. And it's got this rubbery like insulator I'm not sure how I feel about that but I'm not happy with my coils being that close to a rubbery neoprene substance. I guess I'll reserve my rant until after I vape it....Hopefully the vape will make up for all of that but it better be spectacular cause I'm already not blown away.
