I got ten of them! I thought I was getting 2... They work nicely.
Hahaha, me, too! :w00t:

Back on the subject though, I love my serpent mini! Nice restrictive lung, easy to build and no leaks, what amazes me the most is the clouds you get with 23w

Can't wait to get mine (have both a stainless and a black Mini on order).

Yeah, no doubt. I'm finding vaping at low power works well with the twisted 26,28ga. Builds. Plenty of flavor and decent vapor I'm impressed with this little atty.

The Atto mod?

Mine is a clone, from what I understand the original (I think priced around 80-90 bucks) has short protection, low voltage protection & reverse battery protection. It's a "mech-like" mod minus the circuit board that acts as the 510.

The IN clone I got (I believe theres 2 popular clones, "IN" & "SXK") was priced around $20 shipped. Its only got the reverse battery & short protection (I believe its atty short not battery short). My clone allows firing as low as 0.1ohms but I would never build that low.

Whether you get the original or clone, it comes with 18350 standard and an 18650 battery extender. The bottom battery cap has an adjustable base to make sure theres no battery rattle, it also acts as an on/off switch to prevent accidental firing when its in your pocket/bag (just unscrew it so the battery doesn't make contact).

I like how the battery is installed with the positive side bottom, where the vent hole happens to be. So in case your battery does vent (usually from the positive side), you know for a fact the gas will leak out from the bottom first, enough time to throw away a potential pipe bomb (?).

the form factor is nice and small. Its my first mech-like mod so I can't compare its performance to other mechs.

The chip is user replaceable, I believe fasttech carries them and they're relatively cheap.

I would recommend it, especially for its price & form factor. I also see it as sort of an entry lvl mech mod for those of us who want to try mech but are still skeptical about saftety issues.
@rice721 & @zoiDman. I just ordered the Atto styled mech mod from 3fvape. Do you think it's safe to use LG HG2 18650 or should I get some Samsung 30Q's.? And for the 18350 battery which would you recommend? Thanks!

How Low of a Ohms were you planning on using?

I believe the LG HG2 18650 Batteries are rated at 20A CDR. So if you stayed Above .3 Ohms, I think you would be OK.

For an 18350, I'm not sure what I would Recommend? The Only 18650's I have are Vappower IMR18350's. And they are Supposed to be 8A CDR. But I don't like to use them in a Mech with a build that is Lower than .7 Ohms

BTW - This is a Good Site to Plug in Ohms and see what kinda of Amps are being Drawn.

For the 18650 I plan on using mostly .50 -.90 ohms. I found some Efest 18350's 700 mAh, 10.5a high drain IMR I would build at .80-.90 ohms.

Thanks for all your help! Truly appreciate it!

I think those Ohms sound like a Good Range to be in.

One thing. Efest Batteries have been the target of Many Cloners. So if you go with an Efest Battery, make sure you get it from a Very Reputable source. And stay away from places like e-Bay or Amazon.

Go to rtd vapor & check out the AW IMR 18350 batteries. The 800mah one's with the black ring around the bottom. Only 18350 batteries I'll buy. They're pretty much the only place I buy all of my batteries from.

With a mech use known batteries, Efest is known for inflated specs, so don't use them. for 18350 indeed go for AW, for 18650 go for Samsung, Sony or LG....and get them from a reliable source.
I had a Atto from 3fvape and it was a pretty nice device, but mechs just aren't for me, so I sold it a while ago.
Be sure the 510 pin stick a bit out below the threading, as the Atto is a semi-hybrid, also take a good look at the battery orientation, as it is the opposite of what most mods use , there should be a picture on the mod in regard to battery placement.
And I think I remember it only takes button top batteries, but not sure anymore, so take a look at that too.

I agree RTD vapor is a reputable outlet. I only buy from them also.

I have the Beacons from Beyond Vape. Authentic Telescoping mod with a topcap. $25 excellent beginner mech Mod. You can always add a Kick fuse to your tube mods to make them safer too. It will protect you from shorts that cause battery venting.
I think I am going to pick up a couple of these Serpent minis for my brother and myself.

Really? I even said "wow they screw up, extra heads"

I think FT listed them incorrectly as 1 when they first listed them (that sometimes happens). The price wasn't bad, so I ordered 2. Imagine my surprise when 10 arrived and, when I looked at my order (thinking I screwed up), I saw that they had since corrected it to a pack of 5 for the same price. :thumbs:

Haven't tried them yet, though.

Noob question - How far do the wicks need to go down in this thing. Kept getting dry hits after a while, but i'm still pretty new to rebuilding (used to rebuild my kanger rba old and new).

I run mine into the channels just to or slightly below the first step. No dry hits or leaking for me this way.
