The Derringer RDA by Praxis

@Rob Fisher the derringer is absolutely awesome. I got mine from vapeking on monday. Been playing around with the builds a bit and i have found that this atty performs like a bomb.
with the various builds i have tried i came to learn that what works best is the following
24g wire
3mm ID
7 wraps.
i suspect that puts it around the 0.25ohm mark.

the bigger id and thicker wire helps with surface area and definitely gives much better flavour. the vape is smooth enough for me to run it at around 70watt on the sigelei.

today however i am giving her a go with the same build but on a mech mod. the SMPL
not only is this a superb vape but on the SMPL she is very stealthy. just fits across the palm of my hand.

flavour is 8/10
TH 8/10
clounds 7/10
warmth 10/10 - reason for this is because with the adjustable airflow settings you can go from a nice warmish vape to a lekker hot vape with no effort.

Stealth dynamite @Marzuq ;-)
Still love how small that SMPL is
 
@Rob Fisher and @Paulie, does it beat the RM2 in flavor?
Nice build and the looks great as well :)

Hi @Imthiaz Khan
I dont have the Derringer but i tried Paulie's non BF one a while back. He had some wicked low ohm coat hanger build in it. Was very nice but its more of a lung hit device in my view

On the issue of comparing the RM2 to any of the lung hitting atties (Odin, nuppin et al):

I find its very different. The whole vape is different. Not easy to compare. On the RM2 say for example with my 0.5 ohm paracoil and Blackbird, the flavour is just so dense and concentrated. And the throat hit is insane. But because its a mouth to lung, there are less clouds. Drags are shorter and the 18mg helps with the TH

For me, lung hitting is a totally different experience. So difficult to compare the flavour but Id say equally satisfying in a different way. On the nuppin with dual coils and a toned down 9mg VM Strawberry menthol mix, its very satisfying. Airflow wide open. Full deep lung hits. The flavour is nowhere near as concentrated because of all the air. A short drag on this setup is nothiny like the RM2. But a long 5 second drag makes up for it big time. I get that menthol burn toward the end and the long hit makes up for the flavour. But its a more diluted flavour, with more volume. So overall the flavour is very good. I am still experimenting with different juices but still find it quite difficult to compare the lung hit to the mouth to lung.

Very different but with the right setup, both are very satisfying.

I am not sure if you have other lung hitting atties on your Reos and whether you are a lung hitting vaper or not, but I would say there is a place for both.
 
Used the Kuro coiler - easy, peasy and fast. ID of 2.5 mm, 26 g Kanthal, 9 wraps for each coil. Resistance measured at 0.53 ohms.
Slanted coils, wicked with 3 mm ceramic.

My first coils done with the Kuro coiler.

Initial impressions: This little thing gives a great vape. Excellent flavour. Am impressed.

Thanks to @andro for very professionally modding the Derringer to bottom feed.
 
Hi @Silver,
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! Greatly appreciated! It was just what I was looking for :D
I have the Odin BF but I can't really do lung hits with it. I guess its just not for me. Could be the 12mg nic content in my juices as well.
Although I did try 0mg on the Odin as well but didn't enjoy the lung hits.

Bottom line, lung hitting is not for sissies :rofl:
 
Lovely @Zodd

I was busy the last week or two, so may have missed it but did we manage to find a way to BF modify the Derringer?

Hi @Silver

Jakes did manage convert them to BF.

I was just bored on Saturday and really wanted to try out the Derringer. So I went and bought a drill and some bits.
 
mmmmm....I just realized there are two Derringer threads. Wonder why...lol

The one thread is for the Bottom fed modded version, which is in the Reoville thread. While this one is for the standard dripper version.
