Recommendation thread

[rhm3769]

My current setup is adequate but a hassle when driving.... Looking for something comparable but simpler, more grab and go....
I have a 4nine copper and nimbus clone.... I typically run a 0.7-1.5 ohm setup depending on how much wire I want to work with when I do new coils....
I know I need to look at the center post extension from the 510 threads and to avoid spring loaded posts, but I do all of my shopping online due to work hours....
If it matters, I started on blu august of 2013, quickly moved to ego twists with a mini protank 2, somewhere in 2014 I started doing my own protank coils, played around with carto tanks, bought an aspire btc and used both dual coil and vertical coil heads, went from vv to vv/vw and eventually moved to the 4nine and a dripper.... Started on 30mg liquid, then up to 36mg, stepped down too fast and then back up to 36.... I was on a MBV kick for awhile then they stopped selling 36mg liquid so I went down to 24 mg.... When I was unemployed, I decided to start a ZampleBox subscription and somehow I've stepped down to 12 mg and I don't cape anywhere near the amount I used to but I do switch between what I have left of 18 mg and 12 mg liquid randomly throughout the day and have some unflavored 36 mg for emergencies....
I guess I'm looking for something more like a tank that's safe for a direct battery contact.... Doesn't have to be the newest thing around and hopefully no more than $30 with the ability to make my own coils rather than buying replacements....
Any recommendations? Thanks

The 4nine seems to be M20x0.5 threaded;
it should hybrid to the 3d rdta

the aqua v2 rta looks like it hybrids to m20x1 mods- caravela, paragon, gp paps

Have you looked at the Smokeless Owl/Terminator? Its a mechanical bottom feeder that comes with an atty for around $25. It holds 10ml so no worries about dripping and driving. Just squonk to juice your wicks. Top fire button so no locking or unlocking the mod while driving.

Focalecig and Fasttech carry it.

Hmmm , I'm surprised Roxy didn't mention the Rose V2 . I use a Rose V2 with the hybrid adapter ( direct battery contact ) on my Stingray X as my normal setup . The 510 pin on the Rose is adjustable and it stays firm where you set it , I have mine protruding almost 1/8 inch . The Rose is one of the best flavor atty's available , intense flavor with a .7ohm 26ga setup in it . It's dam near bulletproof . It's not a lunghitter though , strictly mouth to lung .

He was looking for compact, and seems to like dripping

I love my Roses, but they aren't small.

Would this work?

 

[rhm3769]

Another question, would a 510 adapter be safe, or would it come down to the specific adapter?

For some reason the link doesn't work for me . I think this is the same atty , if it is , it has an adjustable 510 and it should work . I've never heard of anybody using a 510 adapter on a direct to battery connection , I wouldn't do it , if this is the same atty , it doesn't need it . SMOKTech RSBT Hybrid RBA

Its the same. Now to decide between that and the rose v2....
Only mentioned the adapter if it'd give me the ability to safely use anything on the 4nine....

The Rose is strictly a flavor atty and a mouth to lung hitter , it may well be the best flavor atty on the market , the RSBT has more airflow , and is better for vapor production . It depends on where your interests lie . The juice flow control on the Rose allows me to vape 100% VG without a hitch , another reason I favor it . Plus it looks badazz in all metal mode on the Stingray X .

If flavor is your main objective, the Rose is the queen.

If you need a lot of airflow, you might consider the Cthulhu. Normally not my type of RTA, but I'm actually enjoying it.

 

[rhm3769]

Hmmmm, liking the cthulhu....
Decisions....

Roxy , does the 510 adjust on the Cthulhu ?

 

[rhm3769]

It says it does and the pics make it look so.... Bought one, let the vape mail waiting game begin....

I think it does, but I'll have to check. I have that on an X so I haven't had to do it.

Just be careful with it , my Kayfun 3.1 has an adjustable 510 but it doesn't stay put so I don't use it with a direct connection .

I'll be sure to check it out first and check it frequently, too.

If it doesn't stay or it becomes too much of a hassle, I can always break out my vv/vw battery and use that for driving....

Tracking info estimates a Saturday delivery....

 

[rhm3769]

Update, it'll be in my hands in a few hours....

 

[rhm3769]

Cleaned it up, got it ready with the coils it came with, cheap cotton ball wicks and filled it up.... No leaks, adjusted the center pin, all is good....
Thanks for the recommendation on the cthulhu....
