The Enigma or the Tugboat

[Fittytigsic]

Hey everyone! I was just wondering if anybody has either of these? I really want to start getting into super sub ohm builds after about a year of vaping. I currently have a patriot and a kayfun, and I know all my safety and all that ish(please no lecture). Im looking for a large juice well, decent air holes that could support rather low ohm builds without much drilling(preferably), and just overall a good quality atomizer. Any suggestions?

I've got 2 tugboat's & really like them! Deep juice well, big post holes & nice big airholes. I think you'd be very happy with it.

Tugboat for me hands down. Welded posts, and all of the previously mentioned above. Flavor is killer, and the Blasted one looks sexy

How easy would it be to drill it out if i chose to do that? and is the center pin press fitted?

 

[KAI789]

From what Ive seen, the positive is a press fit. The two negatives are welded. The two airholes are both at 2.5 mm in diameter, so ive yet to see a need. But i think it would ve fairly simple, if a bit time consumng as the layer of steel is fairly thick

Ive been debating the same thing as you. I love both of them, I wanted the enigma for the brass cap to match my mod but then hear all this bad stuff about brass. Then the tugboat, I like how deep the juice well is and it reminds me of my patriot. And to be honest it sounds sad but I use my patriot the most, and I have 3 tobh's, they leak too easily in my opinion.

I don't really mind the brass, it's just that I wasn't too fond of the Enigma's well, It's the same size as the patriot, which isn't bad, but in comparison to the Tugboat's which is the same size as the Omega without the airholes being on the well, you have more juice/ cotton for use.

At the same time, I assume due to the gold plating the Enigma would hit harder, but since it's gold plated, it would also wear down and the hit would fade with usage, speaking of the bottom connection, not of the positive post.

The Tugboat uses stainless steel connection, but it still hits harder despite the build, and despite the Castle having a copper connect, ect. ect. Functionality wise, I do prefer the Tugboat, plus the driptip it comes with is delrin insulated.

In the end, it comes down to which you prefer, and which style is your preference. I've no doubt the Enigma will hit harder due to the gold, but as that fades, you will notice as well. The Tugboat may hit less, but the drip well makes up for it, along with the postholes being bigger, imho.

Thats how I feel too, I do like that deep drip well, its huge, thats what caught my attention to it in the first place. I have a question though, with it not having adjustable airflow are the 2 air holes really big? I know there bigger then the patriot but I sometimes still take mouth to lung instead of just into lung, I was worried the holes were too big to still be able to do that.

They two airholes are both 3/32, so about 2.5. In diameter.it may be just a touch too loose for mouth t. lung, but thats me. For you it may be too tight. The Enigma is stock 2.25 which may be what youre looking for. Its all subjective though, so i cant really provide an accurate idea for you.

Ok thanks, I appreciate the reply either way. They just looked a little big so I figured id ask.

I could be completely wrong, but isn't the Enigma made from naval brass, which is lead-free?

I love my Tugboat! Easy to build on, deep juice well, nice big holes in the posts, and good airflow from the factory air holes. Hits like an M1 Tank, and blasts flavor from the .46 ohm coils I have on it.
Don't have an Enigma, so I can't do a comparison.

 

[Fittytigsic]

Chose the tugboat! Love it besides the fact that the top cap goes all the way down to the base---meaning that juice leaks under my atty and onto the top of my vanilla :/

Just picked up another tugger yesterday The Cali Edition, these are by far my fave attys, I have a Tobh, Stillare, patriots, nimbuses, every I GO, and the Tugboat is just so versatile, awesome flavor, big ... well and deck, big screws, big holes in the posts,
I did a 24 Ga parallel on a 7/64 bit, single set up and wow lots of flavor and some huge clouds. tough to beat atty. IMHO

Is the driptip removable on the tugboat?

Is the driptip removable on the tugboat?

Yes it is. But it's a very snug fit; at least on mine.

 

[Fittytigsic]

For me, I have kept my tugboat below .4 ohms since I've got it. Im about to take the air holes up to 1/8 just to have a cloud machine. If you are looking for something that will give a good mouth to lung hit, this isn't for you. But I am very glad i went with the tugboat, it is an amazing device!

My Enigma's continuity is far superior than my plain SS RDA's.
