I go down to .3 on a Reo wiith twisted coils Jeffery...I could push it a bit lower.

I will also say that I am using 30 amp batteries to do this. Not 20 amp. Not 25 amp. Not AW's, Efest or Samsung's, not LG's etc...but Sony VTC 5's, VTC 4's or Orbtrontic SX30 Button Tops. xtar does produce a VTC 4 re wrap in a flat top but there may or may not be arcing at those low ohm builds..

Sorry to bring battery safety up, but it is imperative that one knows the actual value of the batteries that one uses. Advertised and Manufacturers values are not always reality. The following link will take you to a German site (use Google Translate!) that has tested a huge number of batteries used for vaping and published actual values from their tests.

AkkuDB

To utilize the site, go there. Use Google Translate to read in English. Pick a battery that you wish to see the actual values for and click on it. The link will then take you to the results they came up with. If you click on the Efest purple 18650 35 amp, the results page will show you that their testing revealed it is only a 20 amp battery.

I posted this in the wrong thread, I meant to put it here.

A few weeks ago I said I was going to buy something to celebrate 2 years of being smoke free, I said that thing might be an Origen Genesis. Well I ended up changing my mind once I found out that one of my favorite companies (GUS) were releasing a new atomizer, tonight I ordered the new PhenomenoN by GUS, I can't wait for it to come, I'm super excited. BTW for anyone that doesn't know GUS make superb gear, apparently the owner of GUS was originally one of the founders of GP (GP paps etc) until he wanted to branch out on his own.

Mine is the matte version this:

PhenomenoN Atomizer RBA ultra high matte finish [AP6-Z1020] - €120.00 : Gus-mod&more...!, An idea made material

I use sony vtc4 in all my mods. Safety was my first thing I tackled when I got into vaping.

Right on Grrrr! Thanks for the tip! As you well know, I am a big Gus enthusiast as well. I'm all over this one myself.

It shipped this morning, super excited about this one. In another thread someone said the flavor is as good as the Rose v2, I don't have a rose, though it seems to be regarded as one of the very best RTA's for flavor.

Should be a good one, glad you got one buddy :)

Order confirmation # 5114. Somehow a Kiss SE with matching tip slipped in there as well................:p

Nice haul you got there, you must have grabbed the last Kiss SE, showing out of stock now. Don't forget to post pics.

I too got a driptip and grabbed the Brass airflow ring for the PhenomenoN as well.

I may get the Yumina Mini Kiss in the future as I'd like to get the Estia 510 kit so with the postage being $25 I may as well make it worthwhile.....right?

ROTFL...That was my reasoning as well! Brass AFC ring? Nice! Should of thought of that one myself. Oh well, next time me thinks. Been eyeballing an 18650 tube too....;)

I forgot to ask, did you get the polished or the matte PhenomenoN?

Went with the matte for the first one to match the Kiss. If these things are as awesome as they look, may have to order a polished version along with a "Warrior of Light" :drool:

This was also my thought process, I ended up buying a second Estia after having my initial one for a few weeks and if this is as good as I'm hearing I might have to get a 2nd (polished) PhenomenoN too.......this is why I need a better job :D
