Mini Messes RDA, its only 15 bucks and its quality rivals the fullsize authentic, plus it can come with the 13H9H Ring and fins, I bought both and mix matched...I like the Fins so I put them on all my TM rdas. I wish the Derringer/Bambino/Snubnose Topcap would fit it as it would be pretty great for mid subohm builds and look great on the CoV Volt mod...

I dont know how many attys Im going to get, Im mostly buying mods, Ive bought most of the RTAs/RDA's out so far:D
I know for one thing I am buying a Point Blank Lite mod! Im also grabbing the Geekvape Avacodo and 521, Efest Luc6 and 25 25R5's, load up on more wire (Mostly SS/N80) and some other gear Ive been needing/checking out.

Yea I dont have the space to reload but I am looking forward to paying off a Kimber Crimson Carry Ultra with some extra milling on it! I wanted cuts on the slide front and back, 20lpi front strap and 25 rear and add a nice bevel to the magwell. Theres nothing like firing a custom 3" Bull barrel 1911 in 45ACP :D

Im getting the Lite version of the PBM, its 189, the 24K is out of production...same with the Magnum mod (4HC), thats why I cant get those :mad:

The Aeronaut clone is the 1st Gen that didnt make it to release, the Aeronaut that is Authentic is the 2nd Gen that cleared the Modders approval for market...Its missing tubes and spare and other pieces. Buy the real deal or you will be disappointed.
Yes... The clone has no removable/replaceable tubes and has a interchangeable drip tips... The authentic at eciggity is the way to go. I'm sure you'll see more of it with any upcoming builds I'm doing. Phenomenal flavor and vapor production.

I got to play with a friend's Dan Wesson $2,700 1911. It was nice but you couldnt shoot more then 100 rounds or so without cleaning it because the tolerances were just TO tight. kimbers seen to be right at the perfect tightness that you can actually shoot them and they will work for quite a few rounds.

got my origin clone and patriot in last night. tested them out and determined that the airflow was too restricted on the patriot. so i grabbed some 1/16 titanium bits and drilled some holes. problem is after 3 new holes on each side the drill bits were too dull to finish, so my last 2 holes on each side slid out of place. now my new atty looks like shit.
and i learned the hard way, not to forget to lock the ring on the mod when installing coils. just permanently changed my fingerprints.

Yeah, I have a Patriot clone (my first RDA, actually) and had to drill the airflow holes out.

I cleaned/polished up all my Tubes I had laying around and then pulled out my Drilled/Filed Derringers to match, That Brass mod hits pretty damn hard compared to most other tubes Ive tried....

Try a 2x28/38 fused Clapton. It should fit in the Patriot posts. 7.5 wraps, 2.5mm ID.

Hopefully it fits...My Nimbus posts wouldnt even fit 26g....It was released around the same time as the Patriot...

ive drilled out the post holes to accomodate almost any dual coil builds i put in there. i looked around and found that i had a couple of 28k/38k 6.5 wrap alien coils around so i put one and then both in there. its not a bad vape but i was expecting alot more from it. should i expand my builds to include nichrome or something? would using other materials improve my vapor quality and volume?

I drilled my Nimbus out similair to how Continuous Current did the Tactical Warhead RDA. 4mm Holes mirrored, its not loose or tight but just right and it doesnt look terrible. I also drilled out the holes to 2.2mm so it can fit heartier builds...

i went ahead and used wire wizard and decided to try dual coil parallel 26a80 8 wrap 2.5mm. it made a hell of a difference. the ramp up time is alot faster than with the kanthal and the resistance is much low compared to kanthal. guess ill have to start buying some nichrome.

Yea Nichrome is lower resistance wire, it contains Nickle. It was sold as "Competition Wire" back in the day and people found out it was Nichrome...They still sell it as better wire but its still just N80/N60 wire. Its great for Colored Coils also ;)

I have some .4x.1 n80 ribbon that I want to make a framed staple with. Not sure how many ribbon to put as the core. I will frame with 26 n80 or 24k if needing more resistance. This is going into my ivogo velocity rta.

Any ideas? Never worked with ribbon wire before.

just for shits&giggles, i made a stapled helix with 10 - 0.8 x 0.1k framed with twisted 24k and stapled with 36k. even if i could fit it in a post hole i doubt it would fire. it was just fun.

I know how that is, I sent almost 2 hours hand wrapping a Framed Stapled Helix and made almost 3ft of it. Went to wrap it and every wrap it broke somewhere and folded and warped. I stopped Staples until Scarecrow and Chef got me into them again....Ive had a much better experience since then.
This is that Handwrapped Wire that was totally useless besides as it was...(In the Second Pic its the furthest to the left)

The ribbons are vertical. The frames (use 26g or 28g for 0.4mm ribbon) should be on the flat sides of the ribbon. 6 pieces of ribbon wire is the norm for staple coils, but you can obviously change that to anything you like. Wrap with 36, 38, or 40 gauge and you'll be a happy Midwesterner.

I made the shift to nichrome about a month ago. Enormous improvement in ramp time. I understand taste is subjective but I feel I get a cleaner taste as well

I may have just had the mental and spiritual equivalent of an orgasm or i just had a stroke... This here is a 33k/38k alien. How this came out i have no clue but i have nearly 4 full inches of pristine micro alien wire and no idea what to do with it.

Edit: if i stage this with 26k i can get a dual setup down to .2 ohms at 6 wraps

I got the 6 ribbon core framed in 26n80 and wrapped in 80k. How many wraps can I get away with on each coil? Would 8 on each side be too much? Pretty small wire so thinking that may be easy too high resistance. To fit this build, I was planning on an even number so I can bend the coil to make it a side by side vertical build so I can do wicks straight down into the tank.

killer piece of wire.

i started spinning small Claptons earlier this week. 32K/38K, up to 2' long. i feed the loose end of the core wire through a drinking straw, and get my wife to hold it for me. by the time it drops out the end, the core wire won't flop around and twist up.
crazy fun.

That deck looks pretty awesome, I love my haze but that's a huge improvement. Hows the airflow on it?

Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
Airflow is the same as a velocity. It is just a velocity RDA sitting on top of a tank.

Down side... I had an awesome sneezing fit while holding it and dropped it. Boom went the pyrex and of course they didn't send a second tank... So only got to vape it like a RDA. Very smooth and nice but can't test out the wicking.

Gotta love concrete floors...
