The NarDA BF pin, which is in stock, should work. I know the Hobo pin works in the NarDA - I suspect they are one and the same. Catfish used Hobo pins for most of his NarDAs.

You could also try the clone BF pin. Angelcigs has clone Hobos with BF pins included for like $9, IIRC. Use the pin, toss the rest, lol.
See, this sucks lol I just had my NarDA pin shipped today that I ordered last night and I originally had 2 in my cart but figured what do I need 2 for since I only have 1 NarDA. Kicking myself now...

Using the clone pin is a good idea I never thought of that. Maybe I'll do that then if I don't find a different option. Thank you!

I wish I knew the size of the pin he uses cause fat daddy vapes has 2 different size 510 BF pins to choose from. Not sure what size though.

Inswva, what's the best stock BF pin for the Stumpy and the Hastur?

Probably another slight change like all of the other CompVape attys released after the El Cabron.
Wouldn't doubt it...seems like most atty makers are running out of new ideas, so their making minor changes to existing atty's to sell more, which usually doesn't equate to a better vape.

Yep, it does.
BIt of a hassle getting it going - theres a little half-moon of insulator that sits behind/outside the positive post that kept slipping out while I tried to tighten in the BF pin. Took a bunch of tries.

My impression - interesting, plenty of room if you want to play with "big builds" - but that's not my thing, and I couldn't get flavor as good as my favorite atties. Those are all smaller chambers, so maybe that's the diff.

The thing's pretty airy - I kept closing it down a bit more and a bit more, and that DID improve the flavor...but still. It's soaking now...(replaced by a Catfish Manta).

(was running my most common, very dull build: 2.5mm, 27ga, 5 1/2 wrap duals for about 0.45 ohms)



The new Hastur comes with a BF pin

Any suggestions for the best atomizer for someone who has to change his wicks/coils
twice per day? I'm using an extremely gunky NET but would rather stop vaping than
change to another eliquid.

Generally running a single coil at 20 - 30 watts, restrictive DL.
I think the NarDA would be perfect for you based on your criteria but it will be tough to get one.

The Nectar Micro or Nano would probably work as well.

I guess it depends on how much you want to spend.

NarDA would be well within reason. And tough to get.

Maybe try to get a Nectar then. It's only $10-15 more. I haven't tried one but they are pretty much universally loved and supposed to have a more restricted draw. The deck looks like it'd be easy to build on as well.

Thank you for the idea. Last F5 battle to get a NarDA was unfun and ineffective.

Oh I know. I got my NarDA and then an Ultem top cap and drip tip pretty easily but came up empty every attempt after until I managed to get one of the bell caps recently. It is definitely frustrating but I definitely want one more NarDA and will try again at some point.

I really want a Narda, is there somewhere that they announce when more are going on sale?
You'd have to be in the Nar Mods group on Facebook but entry is closed at the moment. Otherwise, you would have to buy from a flipper and from what I understand the prices are ridiculous. I've read comments that they have been sold for around $300.

Thanks for the info, even harder than I thought lol. I'm certainly not after one badly enough to pay those sorts of prices.

I know the 2.5mm pin is too small. So, maybe the 3mm pin is worth a try.
