Hey shredding dan, nice work with the "DC" oil cartridge. Gotta respect the craftyness and ingenuity to fill a niche in the portable vape market
Got pulled into "Box mods 101" lesson for a minute, but we'll pull through
Thanks for the pics and the review...but i think this contraption is intended more for concentrates, not flowers
Sorry for your being dry on the oil derricks, don't mean to rub it in
(hope you can re-up soon)....
But this atty is actually based on a pretty good, low-cost, conduction flower vape, the
"DC Gen 2 Dry herb vape" and Dan modded it for you, for high-capacity concentrate vaping. (I know, you know this
) If you want to do flower, you might as well just take out the mesh pad (the bottom one at least) and fill it straight up with flower, you'll have more space. If you want to load only a small BB of concentrate at a time, there are better options, like the DTV3.
Since Dan is buying Divine Tribe's DC Gen2 attys to make these, he might as well also include the stock mouthpiece for default flower-only vaping (is he? are they?
) It should just slip over the ceramic base like the castle RDA top piece, then you can be shipping customers a quick-swappable, 2-in-1 flower/oil atomizer.
Dan might have a pile of DC Gen2 mouthpieces collecting on his desk for this omission?
Hey guru...nice to see you having an interest in some higher performing atomizers that are much more well-built than those little combusting unregulated pen-vape tanks that you are used to.
Regardless of which higher-level atomizer you go with, a TC box mod is a must. The vtwo mini is a fine choice, but at 20 dollars, I'd suspect you're about to buy a counterfeit. Any old seller on ebay is not necessarily selling authentic vapes. Buy from a reputable seller. I'd expect to pay at least $30 for that mod.
I must ask, are you planning on feeding thin, runny distillate on Dan's Divine castle atty? I think a concentrate that runny might be the type that could actually leak through on this atty....there are holes at the bottom of the heater that can leak through to the metal base. With shatter that is not grossly overloaded, this should not be an issue, but with nice big loads of runny distillate on a mesh pad and bottom airflow, I'd expect leakage.
Sorry if it looks like I'm side-busting on Dan here
(not my intent) but if you're planning on filling with distillate, I'd recommend going with a solid top-airflow
tank, like the vaporesso VECO. I stumbled across this a few months ago, and although I found the performance to be mediocre with medium-thick co2 oil,
my boy Steven has been loving this tank with runnier distillate oil
The veco tank is super easy to use, has porous silica ceramic coils that can operate in temp control modes, ample adjustable top airflow, and the tank is leak-proof. There are some other good options as of late also...a bunch of people here seem to be happy with W9's new trinity tank, a smaller 1ml sized tank with a 0.5 ohm Ti wire / ceramic wick coil that can also run in TC modes, and supposedly doesn't leak through the bottom air holes, if you favor the more slim, vape-pen profile with a more restrictive airflow.

Then we also have the donkey-modded cubis donut tanks, but no one seems to see those or have any interest...(seems too complex and intimidating?) and there's a
few other new RTAs I'm waiting to get to me from the slow boat to china, I'm hoping they can be even more potent and user-friendly at the same time, but that might be beyond your comfort level?
But anyways, if you're going to feed shatter on Dan's new atty, I think you'll be a happy vaper, but you might want to look into new tanks for your runny distillates too
