How'd you build it out?
Just a fused Clapton at .23, slightly above posts. I dunno, just doesn't feel...right or good.

That little single coiled devil had me. I dare say I now prefer single could and small diameter.

What the hell...

For you tank users in here that are already rebuilding, I'm curious about what's kept you from making the jump to squonking. I'm notoriously anti-tank for myriad reasons, but in my mind, the single most compelling reason to swap for tank users is simple and drastic height reduction (and thus less 510 strain).

Simple lack of options right now? Need more power or regulated choices? What's keeping you from making the switch at the moment?

Can only speak for myself, so here goes.

I enjoy the simple ability to fill the tank throw in a freshly charged battery and KNOW I am set for heading out for work.

I have recently ventured int the realm of RTAs (Ammit 25 and Zeus) and have yet to be at a comfortable spot with the coil building/wicking yet. I am slow at these in order to get them right each time. only takes a couple of seconds to thro a new coil into one of my Nautilus minis or Baby Beasts tho.

Also I am still figuring out just what mod features really mean anything for my vaping style( varies from MTL and DTL multiple times a day).

Hope this helps to fill your curiousity.

The rear end? As in the rear end?

So...drive it like you stole it has meaning to you...
Just a bit. Well, maybe more than that. But not lately. Snow and ice don't agree with that car. The real kick in the teeth is that 4 years ago I swapped out the stock differential for an upgraded worm drive one that was supposed to be bulletproof. Grrrrrr

Ok. Enough of my whining and thread hijacking.

So...I wanna tell a story.

Cause I can.

6ish months ago I got my first gear. Tank and mod. All was good.

Found I was filling the tank more than I liked so bought a bigger tank. All was good.

Bought an RDTA. Wanna rebuild I said. Tired of coils I said. Easy they said.

Wicking was like to have a conversation with my 5 year old. Frustrating on an epic level. I finally decided that if I wanted to wear juice I'd just pour it on me. Enough of the RDTA.

Bought an RDA, I'll drip I said.
Stoplights threw a special curve into that line of thinking. And then dripping. Again, and again, and again.

So I'll try squonking. Bought an Inbox from the market place and i discovered vapings version of an orgasm.

Flavor? Uh huh. Convenient? Check. Sweet looking sexiness in a mod...oh yeah baby.

So, while I can dig the ease of a tank and the absolute stunning looking mods, I personally feel I'd rather have my beans caught over my Franks (smile if you get it) than go back.

Who doesn't like a good squeeze?

It worked last night I put my comment awards under my pillow and this morning there was a shiny new blue criusII in my Mail box
I've heard really good things about the Crius II but haven't seen a steal on one. Like I need another tank...

Try it. I didn't have a 2.5, but I did have a 5/64" drill. That translates to about 2.7-ish mm. That's where I am now with a simple round 26awg stainless. 0.40-ish Ohms and it's Goldilocks.

Great rta. Easy deck and good flavor. Only 3.5ml if that mattets. I have enough in rotation it's not a big deal.

If you have Amazon Prime and haven't yet, go watch Grand Tour, and old episodes of Top Gear.

If that doesn't make you feel better, well, you're a souless beast who doesn't deserve to be behind the wheel of a sweet 'stang.

Rear wheel drive rear ends were made to be spanked. Bravo I say, bravo.

I think I will. I'm thinking the extra room might improve the airflow a bit and help cut down some of the turbulence

Yes. I've seen them all. I like most things that go fast and couldn't agree with you more.

That's what Battlestar RTA's hold. Moonshot 24, too. My Goblins hold only 3ml. But they're all in rotation so nobody gets too low too soon. :)
