Hey Reofam,
Anyone got a line on a good narda ultem cap supplier? Odis has 'em, but I'm not as keen on the frosted/matte look.
Also, to those in the know - O-atty versus Hadaly, which one do you prefer (and maybe why, if I'm not being too pushy). I have the Hadaly (also the narda).

No clue on a Narda cap - lemme know if you find one!
On the O-atty...what are you HOPING for?
I have authentic Hadaly, 1 each Narda, and a Catfished clone O-atty.
Right this minute, the O-atty is parked...not that it's bad, but...well...it's not better, and it is bigger.
DISCLAIMER: I don't have the patience (or skill, really) to try a bunch of different builds when I get an atty. I look the thing over, I pick one of a very few go-to builds that it seems suited for, and I give it a try. If the vape is "meh" it can be a month before I pick it up and try something else - I've got plenty of atties, usually a few built, clean, and ready-to-go as soon as something gets gunky or boring. So, for instance, I have JUST NOW found a pretty good build in my Hadaly, after not liking it for a few months. And I probably, to be fair, owe my O-atty another try or two.
Narda - I always always wish it had just a TINY bit more air. And that friggin' whistle! I don't want to drill a cap on an authentic Narda, or on a pricey Odis cap...(yeah - that whistles, too). I also find that it's tricky wicking. Not hard to wick, but hard to get the build/wick just right so that it stays juicy enuf (this is, in fact, what keeps me running duals a lot - more coil/wick surface area, more juicy...I run duals in O-littles, and Nuppins)
Hadaly - Very similar to Narda. Remove whistle, but add oversquonk airhole gurgle.
O-atty - Well, it is a clone. So from what I hear, it's got a better squonk hole, and improved coil mount (big fat grubs). And while it doesn't leak or whistle, it's got that same challenge keeping a wick wet enough, AND it's basically a Narda with a bigger chamber. So, why?

Nice report. Thanks
For this set of atties, I'm after flavour first. I've settled in to a nice build for the narda (doesn't even whistle, praise the gods) - works on both the OG and Tom's chinarda. Flavour? A solid 8 - 8.5. The hadaly took longer to dial in, but delivers once it was. Similar in flavour, mebbee a touch more, but with some attendant leakage at times (as you note, too).
I'm curious about the o-atty only because a fair few peeps claim it's displaced the narda for them. I'm hip to Tom's upgrades, and while that's nice, I'm chasing the flavour dragon, as it were.
From what you say, that might be a fool's errand in this case, so I appreciate the perspective.
You, by chance, got any experience with the Shift BF?
Have not tried a Shift, no, sorry!
I probably will buy a Mulciber soon. Holding off, but I'll probably wear down and pull the trigger...

Good Morning Reonauts. It's been so long since I've bought an atomizer that it's starting to sound like a foreign language. I feel like the old fart sitting by the riverside, watching all of the "new, bright, and shiny" drift past as I calmly still enjoy my RM2.
"Patience, grasshopper. Let the flavor dragon come to you !"
Have a Safe and Blessed Day, and a Great Weekend when you get to it !

shift is really nice
i should note that i vape unflavoured, but apparently flavour is good, if that's your thing
what is the midway between DLH and restricted lung hit? that's the shift, whatever it is called
getting the cap on with that little alignment screw involves lots of
though
I have watched that same river, I went to the bank and dove in twice but eventually I came back to sit and watch with my RM2 on a Grand - same river but just a little to your west in the Bluegrass State.

The demi-DLH (RLH+ ??) draw would be perfect for the juice I would put in it (absinthe). I know two people (one in here, one IRL) who rave about it, so I'm curious.
How's the chook doing?
See that guy in the boston whaler with 4 fishing lines in the water, cursing while busy trying to tune his milspec sonar, wife smirking at him while she drinks iced tea and lounges in the sun? That'd be me. Mebbee wave next time I pass.
If you swing that whaler a little closer to the bank, I'll pitch you a cold Altech Bourbon Barrel Ale out there.
Good Morning Reonauts. I, too, would once wade into the river of atomizers, but such fancies no longer seem so desirable. And thus, here I sit, watching Papa curse his Lorans, and relaxing beneath the shade tree.
So, anyways... I went to the Optometrist yesterday. A strip mall Optometrist, no less. They were very polite, and very pleasant, For the amount that they charged me (or should I say fleeced me) they should have been. Spending a week's pay every three or four years for a new set of specs is getting old (and so am I). But at least this time I remembered to ask for my prescription.
Where can I order glasses online for a reasonable price ?

I had cataract surgery on each eye. I had a reading lens put in my left eye and a distance lens in my right eye. The only time I wear glasses now is to drive where I need them to give me the right depth perception. All that leads to saying that my glasses are not a fashion statement. I, too, took my prescription with me. I went to Walmart and got mine, I saved a lot over an independent optician but was able to get Nikon lenses with a couple coatings I wanted. I saved considerably from my last pair and could try them on before I decided.
Just my experience, hope it helps.

Some of the old timers used to buy them online from a place in Hong Kong if i remember. Scott might recall.
i got a pair of reading glasses this year that i hardly use, but HRH says they make me look intelligent!
Her ones are some coated anti-glare, photochromic, variable focus lenses and that little package cost me about $600. So 4 Reos.
My family has a history of glaucoma, both my parents are treated for it, so i have regular eye tests because it beats going blind.

+1 on taking your prescription to Wally World!! I had a cataract removed a couple years ago in my left eye and now I have one that has kicked into high gear in my right eye that will need to be taken out sometime next year. It amazed me back when I bought my last pair of glasses 3-4 yrs ago how much they cost. The frames were basically being given to me, but the lenses were in the $700 range or so, and thats how I wound up at Wally World...$150 out the door...
Fleecing is a good word to describe what any part of the medical world charges nowadays. It is a shame how the medical & insurance industry's has taken advantage of their paying customers in the last 20 yrs!! Someone needs to put a stop to it and save the taxpayers a little money though I fear the guy in office now has nothing but broken and watered down promises to offer us now that he's in the big house.... Someone needs to sit him down like an elementary student and show him on a blackboard that he's doing no better, if not worse, than the guy he replaced!!

HRH and i have experience of a few different health care systems, so we have perhaps a different perspective on it than most.
What we do notice is that where the government funds the cost of care, it's generally the case that they prefer you to not visit a doctor (because that's expensive) and as a result, a lot of the routine medicines are available over the counter and for little cost.
Here, even routine stuff has to be prescribed, at the cost of a doctor visit, and typically under the guise of safety.
But since the US is currently in the grip of an opiate misuse epidemic, safety is really a baseless argument.
As to the cost of care, what we really need to consider is value for money and it's pretty clear that in that respect Americans are not getting it, if you look at cost divided by life expectancy. Moreover, the cost has been increasing relentlessly, but that's what happens when the profit motive is in play and there are shareholders to pay.
It's fair to say that emergency care is excellent in all developed countries, but where the difference is striking is in the research facilities that are at the cutting (!) edge of medicine and in those, the US is unparalleled.
HRH's standard insurance was 140 Euros a month and a) it's the law b) then doctor visits and the rest is at no cost. They will also take the money directly from your wages, whether you like it or not, so pause and consider that for a second.
Where i'm from, the system was set up after the second world war in anticipation of making a 'land fit for heroes' and part of the expansion of social care and housing that was allied to that. The difference is that the age a man could expect to die then was 68. Go to Liverpool town centre on a Friday night and i'll give you shorter odds than that.
