Mm you have a subzero atty? How are you liking it? I just picked up a Subzero mod so naturally, I'm interested in the atty haha

@Uncletattoowhat yeah there's 3 different 528 customs tank sizes, plus chuff, plus the 2 different District F5ve caps - Phoolish Kupcake & Phoolish Summit - with their own 2 diff tanks. Then you get into color options - the whiteout, blackout, all gold, and stainless - not to mention the 2 different AFC pins. I'm currently running an interlocking framed staple alien vertically with a chimney wick in my blackout. .30Ω, She works like a dream around 67w on my Rolo.
Edit: forgot to mention that there's also a medium glass chuff tank that 528 makes for it as well haha
I have both subzero and kennedy22. I prefer subzero for the ease of building. Flavor and vapor on par imo

The whole Narmods thing recently is very reminiscent of what Mark Bugs did with the first 2 releases of the Chalice. Actually now that I think of it, it also happened with the Chalice III on initial release. He would only make them in small batches and then it was all about who could work the F5 key the fastest in a 5 minute time frame... He finally decided to make the atty in quantity and open up his distributer base and now the market is flooded with them and he never had to actually stock the atty at all... His distributors are taking the hit now...

IMO, there is no atty in existence that is that good to have to be placed on some special list that you have to be vouched for on some hidden website or FB page!!!
I wanted it after positive reviews from this thread and also its a single coil low profile atty. Got into dripping lately tired of tanks. Oh well, it seems like its pretty out of reach so am looking at origen v3. Opinions?

I have an Origen v2, more or less the same as the v3 without the cooling fins. I love it! Love, love, love it! I have spent a lot on drippers since getting my Origen. They are all gone but the Origen remains.

I don't care for the Origen V3 but I'm definitely in the minority on that one. I tried it with both horizontal and vertical builds and the flavor was just okay. The NarDA's flavor is light years ahead of it IMO.

Lol. This. The wait and search continues..

V2 mk2 dual build is spectacular tho.. Now you got me wanting both lol

I have 2 Kennedy 24's, just started looking seriously at the subzero atty cause I got the mod and I think it would be a nice fit. I've seen the deck on it close up and what not, I know about the screws to cover the AFC, but what's the U bar for?
Edit: building on the K24 is really easy for me, even with larger intricate coils. So ease of build is subjective.

I have the k24 as well. Somehow 2posts>3 for me..less pushing and messing with the coil position. The u bar is to unscrew the bottom connection deck from the actual deck. My explantion sucks. Its like snappy v1. The deck composed of two separate parts. Upper and lower

Yeah, I should have made that clear. The Origen dripper v1 had two juice wells, the v2 had a single juice well. They look more or less the same and are often referred to as mk I and Mk II...

Lol. This. The wait and search continues..

Re the Sub Zero: It's my favorite atty. It's easy to use once you fiddle with it an understand how the pieces fit together (which should only take a matter of minutes). It doesn't have much of a well, but I use such large diameter coils that the wicks hold a lot of liquid.

It's not a beefy, high-end-feeling atty, but it is made well and comes with a nice array of extras. What's kinda interesting is that the atty looks tall, but the actual chamber is much more reduced than it seems (especially once the cap goes on).

I wish I could explain so much more of the atty and also explain why I like it so much, but I can't. I would need to actually take pics (or video) to accompany the writing. I am no master builder or even all that clever with building, but this atty is easy for me to use. Love the draw, love the flavor and love the vapor.

.....................................


In case anyone is interested. I got this late last night from Elementmods : WE'RE HAVING A 20% OFF STUMPY RDA & ALL ACCESSORIES SALE!
THAT STARTS NOW AND ENDS JAN 10TH @ 12PM!
USE COUPON CODE: STUMPSALE

Forgot to mention this earlier, the Shingen RDA from Tendou Vapor is now on sale. It's 60-65$, which isn't bad for there quality. I think I'm gonna skip a 2nd NarDA and grab this and a nectar micro. I really like this rda's features and the way it looks, seems right up my alley.

Being a little bummed by the unavailability of NarDA I'm happy to see that similars are becoming more prevalent. The subzero, the Shingen, and the Solstice are all tempting. I love the flavor from the Origen V3. The only thing that bugs me is not having a "capture" for the wire on the positive post. The Shingen looks like it has something comparable to the Marquis' while the Solstice and subzero are "standard".

I have a NarDA coming from Chowderhead but, the possibility of getting another looks bleak until Narmods gets their **** together production-wise.

I have a really good feeling on this Shingen. I have heard nothing but good things from that company. I pretty much like everything about it really. I forgot to mention they have a black version too.

I'm gonna wait a little bit on a 2nd NarDA, I really want that satin version though. But I have 1 and that's something, and good for me for the time being.

So a Stumpy + Black Delrin Chuff = $95.59 shipped with STUMPSALE. You guys like the RDA?

I used to love that atty, but I do think the price is too much. Prices all around are dropping like flies, so there is no good reason, that I can see, why this one is still on the high end.

Same with the Veritas lol I can't for the life of me get why it's still the same price. I want to try it again but never would I pay asking price especially when that's what I paid like a year and a half ago. No thanks..

They're still available??? If so, where? The veritas to me is neck and neck with the NarDA when it comes to flavor...

Sorry I checked everywhere for this just now and none are in stock. There was a couple places not too long ago that had them though. Vaporized Nation in NJ where I got mine had them. Cheapest I seen was 119$.

Still kicking myself for selling mine too early. Never gave it a fair deal...

I was gonna say, I don't think they make those anymore. I've been looking for one because I want a second. I got lucky and got mine on sale for $90 but at this point, I would pay $120 for another, it's just that good. And I hear ya, it took me about six months to really start getting along with it

But seriously, the veritas is my second favorite atty ever, right behind the NarDA. The snapdragon is a somewhat distant third.

Hell mine didn't last the week I got it lol but this was WAY before I was even really good at building coils. It was my first true challenging rda to build on, there were no build tutorials back then, then I sold it and they put out a video helping. I'd pay 90$ for one definitely. But if I'm spending 120$ on anything right now, it's gonna be that Nectar Micro!
