The Derringer RDA by Praxis Vapors. It's a beast!
- Thread starter Rommel
- Start date
i thought it was a feature. didnt realize that it held the pos pin in place. even still i like the idea of being able to adjust the location of the holes in the pos pin so i am still interested in adjusting it. i guess it does loosen...? maybe i just need to use a larger flathead screwdriver
wow $40 for that cap? bwaahahahahahah no thanks
besides i dont like how tall the drip tip connection part is. i think the stock derringer cap is better than either of these options. personal pref of course.
Yeah, the cap isn't for everyone. That said, it does have a dome cap (better flavor imo), and you don't need to stick a delrin drip tip to keep from burning your lips like you do with the derringer, which makes the drip tip part shorter than a derringer.
The Bambino needs the drip tip imo (many use it without), and is a little taller than the derringer with a tip, but the authentic Bambino is a nicer machined piece than the authentic Derringer, it's available, you can buy spare parts, and works better in a number of ways.

i much prefer a delrin drip tip to anything else.
can you list the # of ways the bambino outperforms the derringer?
i REALLY like the inner AFC ring on the derringer. does the bambino have that?

$65.00 is really not a bad price at all for an authentic.
The Bambino has a slightly larger build deck, deeper juice well, and doesn't need an AFC ring so it's wide open. (I use the derringer wide open too) It has a domed cap, doesn't spit back like the derringer does, and doesn't leak as easily when you over drip. It it easier to build on too IMO. The flavor seems better, because of the domed cap? It's like the JMK domed cap. I can drip with the Derringer cap on, switch to the JMK cap, and the flavor seems a little better.
I don't think so, I think it (JMK cap) enhances the derringer. But hey, to each is own !
There is all kinds of stuff coming out for the derringer now. Chuff caps, colored delrin caps, etc...
I think so too. I have two. Nice to know you can buy spare parts as well.
i just checked out more items on that JMKtips website and... wow
$26 for a plastic drip tip? what a joke
*EDIT* my apologies for the off topicness

I might have to try the fasttech derringer v2. I find it silly that any newer rda comes without split positive post. But I've been told different by people who love sleeper coils.
I bought a second Derringer and haven't looked back. Thinking about selling the rest of my drippers!

I have two, too... And a Marquis. My Dark horse is a lonesome pony.
Going to give a veritas a shot soon, which may replace them all if it keeps my fingers and clothing VG free. Getting sick of wearing my juice.

I was thinking about an Aeolus for that very reason.

Hi, I just want to ask what kind of wire will i buy for my derringer+smpl mod combo? I'm new in vaping tho, It's my first mec mod and at the same time it will be my first time building my own.. That's why I'm kind a afraid in doing it without any basic tips from professionals.. XD
I've used just about everything except Ti. All of it works well. I've done spaced and contact dual coil kanthal and SS, single coil ni200. All of them worked well and gave me great amazing flavor. If you're using a mech, you really can't go wrong with kanthal or SS coil. Get good batteries and run good ohms and you should be good to go.
Curious though as to why you'd jump straight into Vaping on mechs, a hybrid no less with almost no knowledge or background in building. I suppose if you do your research that should keep you safe. Good luck to you.

Thank you for replying, my elder sister bought me this mod last christmas. I thought that it will be just a simple mod where in i will just put juice in the atomizer then i'm good. But, while learning few "terms" in vaping i realize that i owned a mec mod and there are some precautions while using it or building coils etc.. That's why im planning to buy some tools,wires and cotton..
anyway, will this wire work on my derringer? Thanks! I really appreciate your comment! Attachments
Im sorry, I'm still not familiar with 28-22ga? What's that? Sorry.. Hope you understand..
Might be too thick to fit two leads through the positive post, but yeah, i can see it working just go with singe coil if it wont fit or do a sleeper coil. Rip has a good video on sleeper coil, check it out if you can bare his shouting and noises in general.

aryt, im gonna check it out at youtube! Thank you sir! A single coil with that wire and that mod would suck. Power would be way too low. I've run 26 gauge kanthal wrapped with 32 gauge kanthal in my derringer that's on a SMPL. Dual coils, 2.5mm inner diameter, 3 1/2 wraps is the build I ended up settling on. Can't remember if I drilled the center post to get the two leads to fit, but I know I had to drill it out to get 24 wrapped with 32 to fit. Used a 5/64" bit for the center post hole.So you mean i can just build a single coil with this wire? Hmm.. I hope i can produce more clouds with that build!aryt, im gonna check it out at youtube! Thank you sir!

I use that same build (kanthal), but use a smaller diameter because my SMPL is ss. With a copper mod 3mm is perfect.

OH my... Ummm do you have a regulated mod or an ohm meter? If so please check the build on that first. If not please make sure you're not hard shorting the coil , it's fairly tight in that atty.
Im using a smpl mec mod..
yup, im gonna try it first to the ohm meter.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok good to hear you have an ohm Meter. Nice to see a new builder more sane than I was.
Hahaha! For real? Anyway, trying to build my first ever coil is really driving me insane. Though I don't have the materials yet, I'm making sure that i will not mess up. Thank you for the people of this topic. Im excited already!!

Don't use 28g. Or 26 really. Too thin and the resistance per inch is too high. For basic, single wire, dual coils, 24g kanthal is the highest I've gone and still got good performance with my SMPL/Derringer setup. Start with 24g. You'll get good performance and the resistance will be in a range that quality 20 amp cdr batteries will handle all day without issue.
Yeah, but the derringer is a three post and to install 4 leads of thin wire into one post, plus the ass pain of thin wire parallels in general isn't something I'd suggest to a new builder. Your right, but for a rookie builder.....You know, you can get a killer vape from 28ga parallels
