https://evcigarettes.com/carnage-v1-5-retro-fit-deck-slam-cap-by-purge-mods/what is that ?
i don't even know what a Slam cap is
Sent from a Galaxy far far away
ok, so the smaller deck is the v1.5 it seems. but why are some(?) caps called "slam".
and i just noticed they did what i did = made them with drip tips
Work check. Love this mod. Nice little mosfet squonk
thats nice man. i bet it looks better in hand.
I am not knowledgeable enough to know what set up that is. Will you educate?
IDK why I got away from my 2019 top fill so long. One of my all time favorite atty's, and well yeah, top fill I'm liking the Tarot mini just fine, fantastic hand feel. Not to be left on a table that could be bumped though. She wobbles like a large breasted drunk

It does. It's got some flaws but for the price it's definitely worth it. Can send it off for repair but I'm pretty sure that's another country and Im not sure I want to go that route yet. It works like a charm so not really a necessity.
I like that one, almost pulled the trigger. Wouldn't necessarily take a stab there on purpose, but I like "flawed". Goes with the wood feel to me
I've been wanting to get one of these top caps for a while now but wasn't sure what it would fit. The cap itself says it will not for the Carnage 1.5 deck. So when I ran across this one either the top cap I wanted and a Retro Fit 1.5 deck I grabbed one.

yeah, there are 2 differnt size decks. the Carnage is the larger. the rev, silencer, headshot, prg are the smaller. i have 2 Headshots on the slow boat from england.
My babies for today
That's a nice set there! I do love me some Aegis action.
My setup for today, from a new VU friend:
Not a pocket friendly setup. @Just Frank inspired me to pull the ol Themis back out. Hadn't been touched in at least a year. After a very hot water bath to get it all ungunked, I spun up some not too tight double twisted 30ga Ni80, 3mm, 6 a side. I finally hit the jackpot on coil placement with this RTA.
7mm legs and as close to the airflow fin things as possible without touching. You need to able to just see the bottom of the coils through the holes in the fins. Scrumptous flavor. A little off and this atty will mute by like 75%. I had the legs too short and the coils too low last time. The time before I must have had them like this because the flavor was great then too. I finally figured out whet the difference was.

That's awesome! You even mixed n matched the SS and Black like I do. I haven't used the coil deck in a while. I'll have to give it another go real soon. I'll try it out like you described.

Makes me want to break my old Themis out. Awesome that you got it nailed. I will try this too.
I got it when it was new and I didn't have nearly as much experience then. I couldn't figure out that was going on. The flavor ranged from awesome to nonexistent. I saw it in the reviewers too. Some were saying it was awesome and some were saying it wasn't very good.
This is definitely the ticket. I'll remember from now on. It'll be great to see what you guys think.
I did too. I won my first one in a contest. It was the coil deck. I liked it right away but then started having trouble like you said. I kept try different things to get it going awesome again.
I waited until the mesh deck versions hit stateside and got one of those too. It was a frickin disaster. I tried over and over to get It going and got hot mesh hits and all that stuff. I won a Wotofo Profile in another contest and practiced on that. It was much easier but I learned a lot on how things were supposed to be. I went back to the Themis mesh tank and set it up brilliantly the first try. Its vaped awesome ever since then.
Most think Digiflavor=Geekvape. If so they're doing it again with the Zeus X tanks (top airflow, coil deck/mesh deck). I have neither of those but I'm considering them now.

I saw you were talking about the mesh version the other day. They show up on clearance lists here and there. If the price is right I'm gonna grab one.
The Themis is a killer RTA once you get it setup right. It is however a gold medal juice guzzler though too

Oh ya, "that's the ticket" Is a great way to put this. Oh yum! it came out a little lower than I normally vape. I used 24/38 Ni80 fused. so it's a .13 but whooo this is good. You're the man!

I put a build very similar to that in a new VV Iconic that came the other day. Bumped the Topside up to 70W. UNHEARD OF, for me.
But, it is nice. Really nice. I am just shocked.
Right?
I remembered the flavor wasn't good when I put it away. I took the coils out this morning and they were 5mm and a little change in my tool. On a whim I took this pair out to 7 and pulled em right up to the airflow fins and voila! There it is!
I don't know if it makes me the man, but I'm very glad it worked out for you too.
Mine is actually .33.

I will probably make another set of coils using my 26G that should bring it up to around .16 or soRight?

Too bad the Aromamizer plus decks are too short cuz they fit inside the Themis perfectly. Notches and all. I was hoping to use the mesh deck. I remember now I tried the posteless deck in there before and it's too short. Boo. Hmmm I wonder if I can find a way to work around that. Might have to start playing Doctor Frankenstein

Ya, you can't find these tanks ( Themis ) or even the decks. So I went to digiflavors website to send them an email and interesting that when I copy and paste their email address ([email protected]) then I paste it in my email it comes out ([email protected]) Never knew the two were one.
The Themis is such a solid tank. I mean it's got some weight and just feels really sturdy. I got a Wotofo Serpent Elevated and I don't want to say it felt cheap, but it seemed less substantial (for lack of a better word). I dunno.. I just think it's a quality built tank. The new Hellvape Destiny, (even though it vapes awesome) it has that less than high quality feel to it. A lot of my RTAs feel that way..

I'm really extremely happy with my aromamizer plus and the mesh deck but it's a 30mm and that is not for eveyone. I will be happy when they do the 24/25mm

That's the dual coil version only I think. Let me go look again
Yeah that's what I said
It's a whole new ball game now that I know how to build it right every time. I would try a mesh one though too if it turned up cheap enough.

Carnage deck and Carnage 1.5 deck are identical excepting only for the fact 1.5 deck gets rid of the bottom lip.
Yeah it hits like a dream. And I post from my phone, so every time I've tried to post i a pic I've been given the message that the file is too large, even when I reduce the quality in settings
ok. so, what is the smaller deck called ? the one for the silencer etc.
It's called the Purge deck, which measures only 19.5mm in diameter despite the traditional caps that will fit on this deck are 24mm outer diameter. (Head Shot, PRG-24, Silencer, Maelstrom.) There also exists a bigger version of this deck, and, the caps that will fit on that one are 34mm outer diameter. (34mm Head Shot, 34mm Silencer.)
In the pic I posted, the cap to the left of the Ultem Carnage 1.5 RDA is called the Ultem Slam Cap for the Carnage deck. I also own two different brass Slam Caps for the Carnage deck... in my handcheck below (pic I posted in this thread some time last year) is the black Ultem Carnage 1.5 RDA alongside the brass PRG-25 Slam Cap that's sitting on top of the brass Carnage deck I borrowed from one of my three brass Carnage RDAs,
