I took a look at the Frankenskull you guys are salivating over and other than being a delrin BF device, nothing special about it at all. In fact, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fact they are using the square soy bottles that quite a few people have used in their Reo Mini 2.1's. The jury came back on those real quick as a very high percentage blew the side seam out of them and filled the inside of their device with liquid... Interesting they would be using these since they have been used and rejected by the BF community!! There are a couple people that still use them and put up with the failure and leaking, but most have abandoned them for what they are.
Different strokes for different folks. I had a Reo and thought it was crap but lots of people love them. I love the looks and size of the mod and want one. Simple as that.

No one said they were anything special. If anything I said they were perfect, for me. It's exactly what I want, down to the name, the branding, the material used and the size of it. It's really the only bottom fed mod I've looked at and actually wanted immediately, I can't say that for any other company. Plus I'm not a hardcore squonker, I've never used or had one before. So if I'm going to do it I at least wanna love the mod I'm putting my money into. With that said can't I just get a different bottle and slap it in there?

Whoa... I wasn't trying to put down the device itself, (I actually like the form factor myself), just pointing out for those that don't already know about the bottles failing...

It's not that easy... These were found by someone that was looking for more capacity for the 2.1's and to date it is the only bottle, (6ml square), that would actually fit other than the original 3ml round bottle. I am guessing this modder used them in his because he found exactly the same thing. I think Rob has been looking for a larger capacity bottle for the 2.1's for a couple years now and they are just not in existence. I do recall there was some talk at one point of a few people ponying up the dough to have one made. I would think if there were more devices with these dimensions it would be something that would sell. Look at how well the 8.5ml Italian bottles have done so far...

All over the place
@Mr.Mann - Where've you been? Haven't seen you saying much lately. Have we been corrupting your thread too much with non-RDA stuff?


:laugh: Always here, but just have a lot of other computer work to do . . . so sometimes posting is difficult to focus on. You all kick major :censored: in here! I love the posts!

p.s. I'll drop in soon and speak some (very brief) thoughts on the Cartel Mark IV.

Loving the look of my Manta on my SW75. Crushes flavor and clouds in single coil mode. Great flavor atty.

Yea jhh, definitely a tight draw. It's probably the tightest draw I own but the flavor and vapor really make up for it. What's your go to build for it?
Lemme think. It's a simple build. I believe it's something like 2.5mm ID, 26g kanthal dual coil at .35ish ohm. Works great on my mech squonker.

Here is another Manta on a mech. I did a .28gK1 parallel build, 5/4, 3mmID that came in at a .7 or so. Here is a build pic and a fire video. I mounted the coil fairly high as there is plenty of room in the middle of the manta. With all that vapor the flavor is insane using Teleos Crunch and Rayon.

Is there a tank for the 16mm little?? I didn't know that. It only comes with spares, a delrin tip, and a non BF pin.

It's not out yet but it will be soon.

Origen Dripper Tiny Tank

I believe Todd did a review of it as well.

Oh wow, I didn't even see that. I mostly got it cause I always wanted it and it's always out of stock, plus I'm eventually gonna get a bottom feeder but I'll just use it in regular dripper mode till then. Plus it's a 2 post so that's a plus imo.
