Interesting, I picked up a Thelema mini last week, which pretty much only fits a 22mm deck, when I was mooching in a shop and got the new Wasp Nano to put on it, but a DR Solo would fit just as well, maybe I'll try one out.
I think you're right about the small chamber, a lot of the larger RDAs and tanks that I use most (i.e. didn't become ornaments after a short while !) have a small chamber either by metal inserts like the chimney in the Zeus tank (one of my favourite RTAs) or the profile mesh tank; and the not-sure-what-material cap thing in the Recurve that cossets the coil very closely within the larger body - it even has 2 different inserts for single and dual and it's a dashed nice tasting deck.
Now I think of it, it seemed almost all RDAs started having a curved inner top a few years ago; older models like my previously beloved Aequitas, Drop and Limitless have much sharper corners there and I don't seem to use any of those any more, guess the extra metal is good for airflow and cooling too.
It's interesting you mentioning cooling.
In the DR Solo I have deliberately gone for a slightly bigger diameter 3.5mm coil. The idea being that the more liquid that gets delivered to the coil, along with a good amount of airflow in a very confined space all combine to prevent allowing the coil to ever get too hot and cook the juice on the coil. Also bringing the aluminium side walls closer to the coil is probably also helping to conduct the excess heat away faster. I tried using TC mode but that never really worked that well, even on a DNA250C mod. This setup with the Solo just seems to produce a perfect amount of vapour without overheating the build and building up too much gunk.
