Wait, do you have the three-post or the split-post with the Allen heads and the Phillips heads? I thought that was kinda weird to have two different types of screws. I do like the rest of that design though.
Technically, I have both posts, but I use the split one. It is weird having 2 sets of screws but I already have the Allen sitting out anyway so it's not that bad. And not to say that it isn't hard to build on, but it's one of the easiest rda's I've probly ever built on. Unlike the REMatty the indestructible does this type of post style right. I love mine and use it everyday, I think you would like it, it is a simple design it just has a lot going for it IMO.

I have the first JayBo version with three posts. But after I picked up the second Indestructible (again, 3-post first gen), I bought the Cloud Chasing kit which comes with the T center post which I installed in atty no. 2. Which I spaced on…

So, yeah, that's embarrassing. I posted last night about the first 3 post design. Because I had forgotten that I had installed the T in no. 2. :facepalm: That is proof of undeniable vape decadence. This month has been crazy… I'm putting together kits for friends who really want to quit smoking. So lots of attys came my way through vape friends and FOFs. There was a light shower of drip tips as well. Still, I spaced.

On the bright side, my brain rebooted and I remembered the T post. Last night I spent some time re-building it. Still have to deal with the wire-trapping deal, but I lightly hammered the ends of my twisted coils, the trapping went well and I'm getting a great vape. So I'm happily eating my words too.

I pulled the trigger early, when the Cloud Chasing upgrades weren't available. The original was affordable from the jump. But then there was the $20 CC Kit.

But the new WISMEC/JayBo versions come with the CC Kit integrated: T center, the conical cap, and top airflow rings that keep the cap cool. I believe they include the single-hole center post as well. No option for using your own drip tip though. But the WISMEC versions are available for around $20 and change. So there's that.

If it's been said or posted I apologize, but if you're a member on the nar Facebook group already (its closed right now I believe) there is a list of 25 going up at 6 pm for those whom don't have one yet. I plan on chicken hawking the page refreshing until I land one lol

Was open for a couple minutes and was all locked up--moved very quickly! Still waiting to even see if I got on it in time.

So while I am going to get another Sub Zero, I am also going to get a new Magma (whenever they're available). I think the new Magma has about the same size air inlets, but it has a really deep well and I already know it can be made into a bottom-fed atty much easier. I am back to wanting the direct-to-coil, bottom-fed airflow (with a two-post deck).

Yeah that whole thing was insane. I don't think I've ever typed so fast before. I barely made it too, but I'm glad I did. I can't wait, and I mean that literally, to try this out. I haven't been this excited over an rda in a long long time.

I did too. I almost messed up by reading too much of that form! I decided to just fill it out and try my best to not mess up. I was positive I did though.

Same, I ran through that thing too. The whole address thing messed me up, since my PayPal already has it, that's the only thing that tripped me up. I still can't believe how fast that went. Crazy.

I'm in for one from this batch... didn't have to play the F5 game though. Catfish Atty Mods was already slated to receive 10 from this run, one of which is mine.

I truly love this RDA! The Sub Zero is the first atty I've successfully had serious macro coils greatly trump medium size or even micro coils. Spaced 3/4 wrap of 24g with a ~4.76 ID (coming out around .25-.27Ω). Great purchase for me!

Wonderful flavor! Substantial airflow, but it's like there is a feeling to the draw, as if there was resistance, but it's very open. I love the way this thing hits! It's got a really nice TH--something I rarely ever use to describe RDAs!

Still no leaking either, but it's because the cotton (especially with these coils!) kinda holds and blocks the liquid from entering the air inlets (like some strange upside down well). It's weird, but for some reason this atty really makes sense to me.

No (or very minimal) spitting.
No excessive heat.
Have to redrip often.

Rethought this build and did a contact coil with 22 gauge and two more wraps (5/6) and the vape off of it is absolutely incredible (at least 2x as good as the previous one, and I really liked that one!). Resistance stayed about the same (~2.5Ω, which is what I was going for), but it is much more warm and densely packed of flavor! I never thought I would be so eager to build with 22 gauge. But these inlets really do warrant this type of wire or the exotic types. It can take some huge a** coils!

I went to buy another Sub Zero but ecig(dot)com was OOS. They should have more in soon (what they told me) and when they do, I am going to get one and have it sent to you (K) to mess with first.

I still can't get over my love for this atomizer. It really was just flying under my radar (and seemingly, everyone else's too). This really takes the pressure off of me waiting for the NarDA. This is the first build in a long time (for an RDA) where I just want to find the nearest vaper and say, "try this!"

Man, you are making me want to buy a Kennedy 22 the more you post about this haha. Those two inlets look like they would have a very similar draw as the four inlets on the Kennedy and everybody is just raving about that thing. But I can't jump on the hype train again like I did with the derringer when my intuition is telling me to stay away. But your word means a lot more to me than the Internet's vape fanbois so I'm torn...

I feel like I really should wait to build my hobo and NarDA before I buy yet another atty.

While we're raving about things, I can't get over the flavor I'm getting out of my old veritas; I'm so happy I didn't sell it and decided to start fiddling with it again, the flavor is soooo crisp and clear I'm tasting flavors in my favorite juices that I've never tasted before.

Yeah, I'd say wait. Those atties aren't going anywhere and one can be had for 1/3 of the cost of the other. Money isn't always an issue, but sometimes it's hard to not factor it in.

The Veritas is one of two atties I no longer have that I still think about. Most others had their time and then are faint memories.

Couldn't agree more. I got rid of my veritas WAY before I even have it a fighting chance. I got ...... day one and sold it day two lol. I've regretted it ever since then. And this was when it first came out.
