@Matthee , if I recall correctly I did already check rocket and other random RBA's that I have lying around, I didn't find anything as small as the screw for the Helios (not even the ERA RDA lol), will give it another quick squiz when I get home just in case I missed an easy solution.
@Matthee , that is one heck of an awesome idea, wait why didn't I think of that?!?!? LOL! Anybody got any ideas on where I can get tiny screws that would replace the allen set screws on the Helios RDA clone?
@Smokyg i'm gonna pop u a PM and we can see if we can sort this ERA thing out...
@Smokyg , look at this guy trying to buy all these ERA RDA's at a good price hahaha...
It's not so much that the problem is that it's too small to build on, wrapping a coil in that space is not a problem. I dunno what it was, maybe too small to get nice airflow around the coils or too small to...
Ideal would be 3 posts (for dual/quad coils) with holes in the posts and philips screw heads. Seems like that is all covered in igo-w? Not sure who stocks any igo-w in SA though, I see one listed on www.vapesa.co.za but stock:0...
@Smokyg , I have the ERA mini dripper and I agree with @TylerD this thing is small, I don't bother with it anymore.
The Helios clone is decent size dripper at R160 (I think?) from @Cape vaping supplies , only think I don't like about it is that the posts are allen screws, not normal screw...
Peach^2 Rooibos:
Initial thoughts on the juice:
- it's not too thick so it wicks really well on protank
- this is the single most accurate flavoured ejuice I've ever tasted, when it says peach rooibos on the bottle, well it's peach rooibos in the vape, I could blind taste test this one.
- i'm...
@Smokyg yeah, RBA's are awesome don't get me wrong, but when you have a build that's just not doing it for you and you want that vape NOW then it's sometimes a schlep to have to do a new build. Maybe think about a cheap dripper in the mean time as well? I got a Helios from CVS for less than...
@Smokyg it actually would lol, it does like a fair bit of power depending on the build so you may chow through your battery quite quickly and of course, it's going to be VERY top heavy, damn near impossible to stand up I'd say (and it will look weird) but yeah, it would technically be working!
@Smokyg , Kayfun build is also awesome. If I had to choose between Kayfun (clone lol) and an RSST (or any other genesis style RBA) it would be the Kayfun no doubt!
Two builds on the RSST:
SS Mesh with 4/3 wraps of 32 gauge kanthal, came to about 1.4ohm if I recall, might have been less but it fired on SVD so >1.2ohm for sure:
How does it vape:
- best SS mesh build to date by miles and miles, wicks like a champ it's so quick to wick you can just vape...
Ok, got some of this stuff a while ago, first chance to post it lol!
From VapeSA:
Mini butane torch and butane fluid, loooooove this thing, torches ss mesh so easily hold it in one hand, lights by pressing the button, butane tank lasts me a very very long time. Also, when you're building...
@CraftyZA absolutely with you there, I also wanted to increase not restrict the airflow.
the standard PT draws air through the 510 connection, which is pretty restrictive. The aerotank air controller has a sealed 510 connection (no leaking juice either!) and draws air through the side of the...
Can confirm that this is a goooood idea! Been running the airflow control that I took off my aerotank (believe it's the same one as in link above) on my protank 2 for about a week now.
Strange but the vape off a pt2/aerotank control combo is better (for me at this time) than the vape off...
I'm with @Matthee on this, I always order local where possible, even when I think a 6 week wait won't matter, trust me, by the time you've ordered it you start getting anxious to receive it!
Also, generally you will save by ordering from slowtech, but if you get hit with customs, you might find...
@Zegee , that looks awesome!
I see some people run the cotton wick down into the juice channels as well on the aqua, have you found it works better not to do that?
From my experience Nichrome is a little more fragile, so doing the pulse method to set up micro coils etc is a little more tricky to not overheat and pop the coil etc.
I have noticed no difference in taste. I stick with Kanthal now.
@Silver1 the coil length should be calculated as follows:
(number of wraps * coil circumference) + tails
circumference = 2*pi*r
if you wrap around a 1.5mm drill bit then your inner diameter of coil is 1.5mm, giving a radius r = 1.5/2 = 0.75mm.
length = (9wraps * 2*pi*(0.75mm)) + tails = 42mm +...
