I have some slimmer rbas that I like ti run at 1.0 ohm or lower. Are there any slim mechs out there? Well, ones that arent on back order or pre order? I dont want to spend 200 for It either. Just something that an eternity or igo s will look good on. The vision vv mega is looking good but I havent confirmed its amp limits yet. If you know that, it would be helpfull too. Have a slim mechanical or use a sub ohm rba on an ego spinner or vision mega vv?

I've got one of these coming, it has the rba built in. I've been wanting a dripper hybrid for quite some time. The slimness
is just a bonus to me. I'll get a Piccalo, JM16 to Gus16 one of these days for my Spheroid.

That is interesting... I like it. Looks very similar to the STURM mod I had a while back. I really like the Piccolo with my mini-Did, Spheroid or Bulli-Smoker atties. But they are hard to get now I think.

Love the first piccolo...but cant seem to find anything like it available. Same gor the little bulli. Any clone type things out there?

I highly recommend the Legacy from Puresmoker. Here is a pic of my twins. There has been a third one added since then.

The Ba Gau and G16 are available at the moment, G16 needs the spring/pin replaced. Mert's are always up I believe.
Where's the Ba Gua currently available? I'd love to pick one up...

I too have a Novice by Chris Creations, and I really like it. It's *tiny* and a pretty awesome setup for $100. Only thing I'd mention is that it has a slot rather than a hole to vent the coil in the built-in Fatty RDA. This makes for an airy, cool draw (even with a short drip tip). I personally love it, but felt it worth mentioning because it does draw noticeably differently than my other RDAs (IGO-S, Squid).

just ordered one from okc, used to my top caps bored out to 1/16, was worried about the slot not being airy enough. interested to see how it draws.

I was worried about the slit too but I really like it. It seems to let more air hit more of the coil compared to a round hole. The draw is about perfect for me too. I normally go 3/64" or 1/16". I'd say its about equal to the 3/64" just slightly tighter than 1/16". If its too tight for you, maybe give it a little time and see if it grows on you before drilling it.

i can officially recommend the novice as a great device. coming from a genesis user, its a nice change of pace to drip.

this thing is TINY. i was looking for a small device, and i got it.

i have to carry an extra battery to work, big deal.

the airslot is perfect, i think its on point with what unloaded said, and im already used to it and loving it.

just running a silica setup with flat kanthal at 1.2 ohms, scared to wrap anything lower considering the 14500 amp limits.

it cooks just as hard as my other setups.

Fury,
In saying that Mert's are always up should I assume that they are not overly popular? It's just that I bought one the other day and now you have me worried. :confused: Why are they not popular?

EA's are always up...pretty popular. I think Mert probably does more business in europe than here.

Probably with the novice is it's only useful if you want a dripper (more specifically a fatty) to carry around. I don't carry juice or want to worry about orientation in my pocket so while it's a good device (well I don't have it but it's a sturm clone with a fatty stuck on top) it's not for me.

So for anyone wondering here are some 14500 mech mods (510) that may or may not be available at a friendly online retailer

Piccolo-- vapourart, vapistsvapourizers (not available often, see GP thread in euro suppliers forum for advance notice or watch the stock update page at vapists)

G16--vaperev, atmomixani, greek mods (on and off, you'd just have to check the sites or sign up for notification)

Ba Gau--rampagevapor, eonvape, vapistsvapourizers, vaperev (every few weeks, if you sign up at eon for notice they email you a special link to pre-order...no f5'ing)

Simplicity--Super T (available now, not sure of the stocking situation if they sell out)

Temon--mmvapors (used to be in stock most of the time, out of stock and production it seems now, may be releasing a new 14500 at some point)

Mert--hc mert (have never seen it sold out)

Sturm--vaporwall (lists or check classies)

Mini Cube--s-a-f-e-r-c-i-gs (out of production but last I saw that site was selling them cheapish and blems cheapisher)

Mini Pisces--Okcvapes (well once, no idea on the situation with them)



That's off the top of my head and nowhere near conclusive...maybe it helps you, maybe not
