    Looks like a Nectar RTA with the small tank ring?

    I'm sorry for not putting it in there.

    Nectar nano rdta clone with mini tank section on top of an E-leaf aster topped off with the Ctulhu 1928's drip tip.

    This is a very liberal interpretation by a Chinese clone company. They dressed it down to the bare essentials and that simplicity is cheap and works very well. It also makes it hard to recognise it as a Nectar series atty.

    The Nectars strong suit is the near absence of a chamber and the double airhole underneath the coil.

    After six months of enjoying this clone, I have decided to order the real thing. Considering the price, I made myself stop buying anything for two months before doing so. Now on week three, going strong in spite of the labour day sales. In the mean time the previously ordered 900 RDA clone arrived too so I have a shiney to fiddle with :D

    I have a stock of nectar clones. The flavor is wonderful! If I remember correctly though, I needed to replace the o-rings to get them leak-free. Probably due to being clones.

    Mine came leak free for home use, but they don't travel well if there's still juice in them. I tried a couple different o-rings but the leaking issue for me is really due to the large fill port on the deck.

    For on the road use I go with the Italian mini RDAs that take 5-10 drops of e-juice and a small needle nose dripper bottle that every European vaper buying nic shots has an abundant supply of.

    Yeah these are definitely at-home only! Mine leaked from the bottom around the seal. Couldn't get the tank on tight enough without changing o-rings.

    I thought form and function sort of had to go together.

    I mean, imagine if you needed an enema and the enema bag looked like a chainsaw.

    No. I don't believe this saying. Maybe for some things. Like if your gingerbread cookies didn't look right but they tasted okay. But it has its limits.

    That Dragonball is a cool looking tank. I looked it up. Most places have them discontinued. Sourcemore has them for $20. A couple more places have them. Aliexpress and Smokstore I think. FT has an even cooler version called the Earthball but that one is discontinued everywhere.

    Initially I think form should follow function. Once the desired function is achieved, adornment is always an option.
    And, of course, several iterations may be needed before the goal is hit. :)

    I got the ball from Sourcemore. It was the cheapest I could find.

    I got my two "pyrex/lead tanks" from Ali Express, because they were the only place I could find them that wasn't replacement glass, replacement glass does me NO good whatsoever.

    Sourcemore was the cheapest I saw it. I've seen it cheaper before but I was not prepared to buy such an atomizer without pyrex replacements, although WHO KNOWS? Perhaps my Dragonball will outlast ALL my other mods, Heh,

    Match made in tootle puffer heaven. Looks slightly funny with tall skinny Erl, but function over form I say.

    I have 2 clone Erl and 2 authentic ones, still new in their boxes. Guess I should bust 1 out and try it, huh?
