Sorry about the bad picture quality. this is my current setup in my RH. dual 24g kanthal with japanese cotton running it at .4 ohms and from 50 to 55 watts. starting to get foggy in here. think im figuring this thing out guys. i know my build doesnt look as neat as y'alls but it came out decent.

As long as it's vaping well for you, who cares what the coils look like? I've had the best vape from some of the ugliest looking coils which is why I never bought into the whole "tensioned micro coil" stuff. You don't need perfectly wrapped coils to get a flavorful vape.

Next on my list to try. Any suggestions. Preferably something not ungodly expensive. Tho I'm not opposed to buying a that word starts with a c lol.

The Hastur is pretty nice for the price. I haven't found the build to make mine sing, but I'm getting close.

Do you guys know of any good mtl rda's. My magma is decent. Just wondering if there are others. The royal hunter is definitely a lung hit type. Thanks for recommending it all the same. It is not disappointing. I've gone through a lot of juice in it already and might already have to a dry burn tho I'm thinking about putting a nickel build in there. Sorry guys I like tc lol. I think it's great. And y'all are right it is easy to avoid dry hits once you figure it out. I just love the consistency of tc.

Haha mine is a pretty close Microcoil. Oops.

I just have a thing for tiny attys lol and I liked the deck design, so I had to try it. If this deck was in a normal size design it would be great. But considering everything as a package it's just not worth the headache. It can be done but who the hell wants to deal with all that, I wanna vape not be frustrated. That's a huge turn off for me. I'm gonna give it one more chance tomorrow and put duals in it and see how that goes. It strikes me more as a single coil bottom feeder type, I only did single coil and the wick was dry after 4 hits. That's only one coil. This isn't an on the go atty at all. I can't imagine what a lower resistance dual coil build would do to the wicks.

I'm digging mine so far. It is a pain to build, but I hope it will get easier with practice. I'm running low resistance, wide spaced duals, 3mm ID. I'm bottom feeding and getting the same to maybe one less pull than I usually get. The thing that got me is, I'm getting very intense flavor. Probably the best I've gotten. The concentration is as dense as an itty-bitty like an A6, but with descent air flow. I did added an insert to the drip tip to reduce the diameter and lengthen it. I need the extra length because my lips are full and frequently make contact with the hot topcap. Reducing the inner diameter to 6.7mm really made the flavor pop.

If you want to stay on the cheaper side, look at something like the Igo-W or W Plus. Most of the Igo drippers from Youde have tighter draws and I think most (if not all) of them are under $20 authentic. The SOD 5K by Science of Vaping ($50).

This is the main reason I don't like the tiny chamber RDA's, they just seem like a pain in the .... to build on for no reason, you can get the same flavor out of a bit bigger chamber thats much easier to build on you just gotta crank up the wattage a bit. Don't get me wrong they're great for low wattage but if you're using mechs or any kind of higher wattage mod I just don't see any reason to use them a bit larger chamber just seems all around better IME, easier to build on, more room for the vapor to expand without getting crazy hot and more vapor = more flavor. It seems like i'm the only one that feels that way though lol

I definitely find it easier to put a simple build in a tiny atty, than build a fancy coil for a big chamber. But, the big difference is flavor and warmth. I run a mech and you can only build so low to get the power needed to get the quality of vape I prefer. In addition, at that point coil mass starts causing things I don't like.

 

[jhhollier]

I find the smaller attys work just fine on mechs. .5ish ohm build works well with them, still get a warm and flavorful vape.

The problem is I want mtl cuz that's more comfortable for me vaping style but I also wanna blow fat clouds cuz that's just fun. Guess you can't have your cake and eat it too. I've started liking what rip calls restrictive lung hits. I just don't like wide open airy lung hits. I've tried to and it's fun but not as satisfying to me

 

[vapero]

I too prefer restrictive lung hits, it really brings out the flavor

For anyone that likes restrictive lung hits, the Vortice should be on your list to try. Quite surprised by this atty.

How does the flavor compare to an origen, Marquis, aeolus, ology, stumpy etc. I'm still looking for a new flavor atty and have trying to decide between a stumpy, thump and a vortice.

Different than all of those (though I have yet to try the Ology). It's hard to compare the Vortice to any of the atties you mentioned that I've tried considering the airflow is just so different on the Vortice.

Sorry I can't be of any real assistance on this. My mind is shot right now...maybe soon when I have time to think clearly I can describe it better.

I shoulda got this over the low pro. Or the thump. Definitely full on regret over here on my purchase. Gotta love when that happens.

Anyone here that likes the Kennedy v1 (I think) might want to give a look at the Subzero Competition RDA. I've never tired either, but the looks of them make it easy to compare. ***PRE-ORDER*** Subzero Competition RDA ***Estimated shipping date: 09 – Sub Ohm Innovations

Has anyone on here tried out the thump? Seems like no one but Instagram people own one.

I've wanted the subzero mod for a while now....if it only wasn't 8 inches long I'd get it. Even with there new short button it's still long.

I haven't no, but I'm regretting spending the 60$ on the low pro when another 15$ could of gotten me the thump. Something I KNOW I would like a lot more.

Those post holes look terrible small and I feel like with the design you would end up with some crazy leaking or juice flying out of the holes into your face.
