Heya All,
So I'm going to be in the market for a bottom fed rba soon, and I was wondering what the suggestions from the experienced people would be. I'm sure it's been done 10,000 times before in the forum but as well all know, things are released almost weekly for us.

For non bottom fed rda's I currently have:
Magma - Air flow lacking but decent flavour
TOB - Decent flavour, awesome air flow
CLT - Bliss on both counts?

More info to help for suggestions:
-99.997% of the time I lung hit
-Prefer dual coil builds, I'm expecting to do these builds around 0.7-1.0, probably 30 gauge so I don't have a billion wraps but 28 and a slight possibility of 26 gauge for experimenting. Not sure what is ideal on the Reo yet.
-juice wells won't matter much. It's a Reo!
-Decent deck for building, I think almost all of them are 3 post, but if there's a dual center post build available let me know please! Sometimes my fat fingers and a dual coil 3 post don't go well...

Any mod of course should have no issues being on a Reo Grand LP, I can't say how awesome this well be, being able to join the Reo Club :)

Thanks,
Justin

I'm partial to Odins but also use a Mephisto both of which are great for flavor and vapor. Both are easy to build on as well. The Odin has a deeper well than the Mephisto. I use 5 wraps on a 7/64 drill bit with 28 gauge mainly for my vertical duals coming in at .5 ohm and the vapor production is superb, a little more so with the Odins. The larger atties aren't supposed to be as great for flavor but that's not what I'm experiencing with them at all. I'm hearing great things about the CLT v2 and the N22 as well ( I see you're CLT fan!) and plan on trying those out next.

Here's the link penny was referring to...

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modder-accessories-supplier-forum/581604-catfish-atty-mods-501.html

This should be teed up to a page with a post listing Chowder's current bf-modded atty inventory. You'll see he has Mephistos in stock (just picked one up myself).

Additionally, there's the Odin by Loki Labs per above and another reonaut named pdib makes the Nuppin', which would prolly suit you very much (you can PM him to order and you can check out the "Nuppin'" thread in here for deets).

Of Rob's stable, the RM 5 or 6 would likely be to your taste, and the RM4 might suit you as well.

Fans abound for all of these atties.

Might have to go with a Reo RDA. I've found a few pics of the other ones like a CLT or Magma modded for BF and they just kinda look on the edge of awesome but also slightly goofy on a Reo. I blame part of it on my OCD I guess.

Edit - I stand corrected. Mephisto doesn't look like it overhangs too much. And pretty streamlined. Hmmmm..

If you go with any 22mm atty, it'll hang over a tad - makes sliding the door up on a reo problematic, but not really a big deal.

Mephisto looks pretty deck (as the hipsters say), so does the Odin... and the RM5... and... heck, haven't seen one yet that doesn't work well, to be honest. YMMV in the aesthetics dept, tho.

A protank on a reo - now that's goofy (happened to a reonaut who had to use one in a pinch when his atty broke - still makes me giggle).

Just noticed you're from Alta. I can vouch for chowder's shipping, too - fast delivery, no duty, no silliness with customs. Best to order a few to cover the intl shipping cost, if that works for you. Just pulled three, myself - Mephisto, N22, and Veritas.

You know you're not making this easier on me :p Least not wallet wise LOL

Sorry, bro. Hey, maybe skip buying that oilers jersey to fund it (sorry, just hadda :)).

Hey no biggie. I was living here and have 2 jerseys from the cup years in the late 80s when the dream team was still together. ;) I'm thinking I may have to at least send a PM for the CLT cause I LOVE their decks they put on them, the Mephisto is still up in the air, I'm not too fond of the 3 post decks, don't get me wrong I love my TOBH but only after the thing is built...
