That’s what I was trying to get at. I want whichever will give me the highest resistance of the three, since I like low wattage/cool vape. I would think it would the 80 mesh Kathal, but there were some people on FT that recommended against it, I’m not really sure why.

The VV200 SS is going to come in around 0.18ohms if I am remembering correctly. With mesh it is different since the ramp up time is almost immediate. I have a friend who vapes mesh at 35 watts all the time. I am not too familiar with the kanthal or Ni80 mesh spools, I like to TC mesh as I am absent minded and am fearful of the dreaded mesh dry hit…keeps me awake at night lol.

I just watched a review on that. It seems interesting. I’m not sure I have a bottom feed mod that can support 24mm. Maybe the therion. If I do, I’ll probably pick one up. The busardo I review has me rethinking a couple flavour rda I have anyway.

I’m using the profile M RTA by Wotofo and really love the flavor. Maybe that’s an idea for you to try.

Off to Look now, thanks!
Edit- ah I’m really liking for a mtl mesh device. Looks like a beast of a lung hitter!

Which Busardo review? About the Intense Mesh, or a different RDA?

Would RDL be acceptable, or are you just wanting MTL? The Zeus Mesh RTA is what I’d consider RDL. I know it’s a subjective thing, so by comparison the Brunhilde was too restrictive for me.

Yah about the intense mesh. Barring his complaints that airflow could have been more intelligent, he seemed to like it. But his comments on suborning for mtl…. For tanks maybe. For rda no way. The caps are too small and the vapour is way too hot.
It looks like an interesting tank.
I have quite a few mtl rda already. I’d be interested in a mesh one I think.
Oh and about the rethinking. The gp rda I hand checked. I configured it slightly different than I had before. With the ads on drip tip (which makes it look super funky) it’s an amazing vape.
Edit - Sorry misread. No rdl. I’m a mtl or super cloud wide open guy.

Wow, really? That’s an extreme difference. I can’t imagine going from vaping through a coffee stirrer airflow to cloud-chasing DL. I’m still trying to find just where on the airflow spectrum I am. I’m RDLish.

I think that’s why. Big difference
I don’t go super small unless I’m using 48-52mg salts. But I like a smallish hole for my normal mtl. Like a vapefly Nicolas on the third hole - taifun on 2-3. Etc.
The one thing I don’t do much is restricted lung because I feel like it’s a major strain to breath in straight through a hole that restricts the vapor / air. Makes me feel like I’m asphyxiating weirdly.
I usually “slipstream” on those kind of setups - which then dilutes the flavour. Maybe I’m doing it wrong ¯\ (ツ) /¯

How is it that you feel RDL restricts vapor/air, but MTL doesn’t?

Probably a lifetime of smoking. Vaping direct lung is like breathing a deep breath. Mouth to lung is not. It’s like smoking which is telling my body there’s something not normal about it and we are used to that. Vaping restricted lung is like breathing and someone trying to stop me.
Not suggesting it’s not weird but there we are. Long time smoker so I guess that’s it.

After all my searching, I thought I’d found the Wismec Surface at SourceMore. But they wrote me saying they don’t have it, at least not in the color I chose. I’m waiting to hear if they have it at all, but I’m not optimistic. So far that’s two swings and misses. 
Does anyone have a clue where to look next, or should I give up on getting the smallest regulated squonker out there?

Nevermind. I don’t believe this was a legit site.

Just order from China and get this. I don’t remember why or if this was not a consideration? China?, too big?, cost? astetics?

If you can handle a mech their original tiny mech is like £9 right now on several sites.
Edit - ahh saw regulated. Well if anyone else needs a cheap and by all accounts relatively good little mech bottom feeder. The vandy vape is being liquidated

I ordered a VV Pulse v2 during FT’s anniversary sale, but I’m thinking it might be a bit too large for my hand. Right now it’s somewhere in L.A., so I’ll find out before too long.
I did luck out and get a Pico Squeeze 2 as part of a vape lot. Damn, those things are weighty suckers! Someone had sold a huge vape lot on Reddit they didn’t want to sell off piecemeal. A lot of ppl were asking if he broke the lot up, they wanted X or Y items. I was one of them. 
The person who ended up getting the lot contacted me and asked me if I still wanted the things I’d asked about. The first few items I turned down for different reasons (color wasn’t what I’d thought, I’d since bought the items, etc.) Fortunately, he was persistent. 
He saw that I’d later posted an interest in a Sigelei Fuchai Duo 2/3. He sold me that, then and after talking to me for about an hour, he
recommended an RDA (a SXK Venna) and the Squeeze 2.
The Squeeze 2 came w/ a 21700 battery, which I wasn’t expecting. I’m sure it’s not the best, but it’s gotta last longer than my 18650s. I passed up a chance to buy a Squeeze 2 once before 'cause I hadn’t realized the Fire button was on the side where it’s easy for me to reach. (tbh, it’s easier to use than the Luxotic MF - I wish the replacement Luxotic MF was also defective so I could send it back, too). 
The only downsides w/ the items in the vape lot are the colors. The Venna is a dull/brushed SS. But as long as it’s not paired w/ a glossy mod it’ll look fine. The Sigelei is listed as gold, but I’d say it’s more of a copper color. Either way, it’s not a color I’d choose. The Squeeze 2 is rainbow, which is also not my ‘thing.’ But that’s what wraps are made for, right?

I don’t know how many squonkers you’d recommend I get, but I’m really liking the Squeeze 2 so far. They’re probably not being sold anymore just 'cause I like it. 
I’m sure I’m going about this all backwards. I know I need more RDAs. So far I haven’t gotten any of my RDAs to equal the flavor of my Zeus Nanos/Boost Plus using the same juice. I don’t feel I can do accurate SFT until I do. I’m not saying it’s the fault of the RDAs, more that I haven’t figured out what type of wire to use. So far I’ve got 3 RDAs, the Intense Mesh MTL (a bit too restrictive for me), Ammit MTL (airflow ok), and the Venna (same). I got a Wasp RDTA, so I at least know what the Wasp RDA would be like.

The pico squeeze 2 ?
I had 3 of the original mech and to this day I have no idea what happened to any of them but I absolutely loved the original squeeze. It was something like £8 - super light, and just worked. I think I gave one away, lost one, and no idea about the third but I’m really disappointed they don’t make a “mech” anymore - in quotes because it had a safety chip.
I can’t fault you for loving that. I’m tempted to try it myself as a take out unit.
Glad you like it!
