I am interested in getting myself the following setup

image.jpg
22mm Petri V2 RDA and the mech tube

Most likely the standard flavour cap because i suspect it will suit me better than the cloud cap.

I learnt recently that you can also get a Dot Cap - a chuff cap of sorts.

Some questions I am pondering on - maybe you guys can help me to understand better:

  1. Do I need this dot cap chuff cap thing?
  2. If so, why would I need it?
  3. I see on this link it comes with it (http://www.vapecartel.co.za/collect.../new-colours-petri-v2-rda?variant=23044333827) but i have seen it without the dot cap too. I am a bit confused...
 
Nope, especially if you like tighter draws but I use it with the chuff cap and cloud cap as I prefer more airflow. You should've told me to let you try at the vapemeet as I carry my mechs with me everywhere! ;-)

Hi @Silver , no you dont need the chuff but i noticed 2 diffrence using the chuff vs standard drip tip.

1. Chuff provides more airflow
2. Chuff stays cooler especialy when chain vaping.

Hope this helps :)
 
Thanks guys
Much appreciated

The Dotcap referred to here is a top cap in the style of the Petri RTA so it takes the glass tip. And it is included so... If you are spoiling yourself it is a nice touch IMO the glass tip fantastic. Seen the atty for less without it but seeing as you are going top-end might as well go for maximum comfort. But I think you can get the atty for less without it? By no means a must-have for a wonderful experience but you are treating yourself so go for it.

Hi Silver - I'm no expert, but I do have a Petri RDA with Dotcap, and like you I've also been eying out the Dotmod mech...
The Dotcap is not needed, especially if you prefer a slightly tighter draw. It's more like the Petri RTA drip tip. The standard drip tip, being a friction-fit tip rather than having o-rings, already offers a slightly wider bore than a standard 510. The Dotcap provides an even wider-bore than this.
While it's not necessary unless you are going for serious clouds, my advice is to grab one (dot cap) simply on the basis that VC are now, basically, giving them away for free on the current R1400 special... so I guess it's a case of "why not?". It will still come with the standard cap and drip tip (which is fantastic - I liked the DT's so much that I went and bought a few for my other atties while I give Hands DT's a little holiday). Hope this helps, and post pics if you do get the whole setup for us to drool over - so pretty. Seems the only locally available mech atm is the space grey. Looks mighty fine though!
 
I find it gives a better more aggressive pull , but with out it the dotmod is so well .
 
Thanks @KB_314 - very helpful - much appreciated!
 
Here you go @Silver. On the mech is the cloud cap and chuff. In the box is the normal cap and drip tip

Silver, I am also interested in this set up.

Can someone please advise me on what this is. It sells for 599 at The Vape shop. Is it a clone? Any good? Any comments will be welcome. I have the dot mod V2 clone RDA which I quite enjoy. The one I got does not come in the corked bottle. It cost me 265 at Sir Vape. It looks identical to the RDA that is in the pic. But the pic says V1.1. For a cheapie, It owes me nothing and it really is a super little RDA. If the plating starts flaking, I will toss it.

However they also sell a different one in the corked bottle for 365 at Sir Vape. (They don't have a pic of it on their website) with the chuff cap. I love the screws on the one that comes in the bottle.

hi @Silver ..my 2c opinion...i luv my petris with the std cap, i do use the dot cap when i feel like a little agressive vape but 99% of the time its the std..the petri is too much of a sophisticated lady for aggresive vapes

another thing i tried the matching colour thing and got bored very quickly, found it more fun to mix and match so i went with a gold mod with lime green rda and green mod with the gold rta. simple builds are best for me..i luv 26 gauge kanthal 3mm id 5 wraps bet 0.35 and 0.39 ohms awesome balance bet flavour and battery life

Many thanks @incredible_hullk
Now you're scaring me
I have to buy two of them to mix and match !:eek:
 
Is it crap, or worth a shot?

No idea hey..if its a good clone then it should be fine as mech clones are basically the same..just tube may be a bit longer or the connectors may not be as good as the originals as i had a clone petri mech and it had bad connection. See if you wanna take a shot..as it's like 1/4 of the price of the original.

I have been using a Petri rda clone for a while,a cheap one from 3fvape and I get a good vape off it.A 1:1clone is usually a step up in quality, I don't know about the mech though.
 
Oh boy

Can't believe it. All lubed up and ready to go. Will be my first vape on the Petri V2 RDA!

Oh my word this is great!!!

Decided to go for Guava Ice first

So smooth - so delicious - mmmm....

Thanks for the coils you put in @Maxxis ! These are micro Alien fused Claptons. It's on the Minikin 1.5 and it reads 0.55 ohms.

Am playing with the wattage but liking it around the 35 Watt mark. Reasonably quick ramp up.

Lovely dense thick rich flavour.

Am liking it a lot on first vape!
 
Absolute pleasure sir. Will be keeping an eye on this thread for your feedback.

Oh my gosh, its so smooth
Cant believe it
The vaping action is lovely! Its like velvet...
No popping or spitting whatsoever. Just smooth rich flavour. Its so quiet.
Dont know if its the Petri or the coils (havent vaped on these alien clapton type coils before). Probably the combination of the two.

Whatever it is - this is superb

Thanks to all of you who egged me on to get this atty!!

:FADDANCING:
