Dvarw RTA DL from KHW Mods in Hungary

[Silver]

Am very pleased today.

My Dvarw made it overnight and today without any signs of leaking. It's behaving nicely.

But I've learnt not to count my chickens.

It needs to get through a few tankfuls without a leak before knowing it's sorted.

All I did last night was change the one o ring at the base of the chimney part. The 2.5mm ID coil is still in.

So far so good....

Holding thumbs @Silver. Still struggling to wrap my mind around a leaking Dvarw, it’s just something that they don’t do, like ever in my experience unless someone left the chimney cap off “Never Forget”

I have tried a different method to the Exocet wicking method and absolutely no leaking at all. My cotton sits against the wicking holes on the inside of the chimney but don't protrude at all. I cut it just long enough to cover the holes. No leaking overnight, no leaking if i sit the tank on its side, and wicks perfectly. Will rewick today and try take some clear pics.

Agree with you @Shakez that as long as the wick ports have cotton covering or against it the Dvarw won’t leak. I use the Exocet method but also use the more common MTL Chamber wicking method of placing the cotton inside the chamber filling each half of the chamber with cotton.

Find this later method condenses the chamber further restricting and intensiving the vapor somewhat and the real positive trade of this more cotton approach is a wetter saturated vape. Works in the DL and MTL and it is the only way to wick a Dvarw 16 due to the tiny build deck.

Thanks @CaliGuy and @Shakez

By "Exocet" method I assume that means one pulls the wicks through the juice slots then cut it off from outside?

Anyhow, that's how I do it - I havent tried this internal method yet - but thanks for sharing that. Looks interesting.

What wicking material are you guys using? And what coil iD?

My problem I think comes from being on the "edge" in terms of just enough wick to fill the juice slots. And sometimes when I refill I can see that there is a little gap - for juice to presumably ooze out.

I am using Royal Wicks and a 2.5mm ID.

When I rewick, one side is always a bit fluffier and thicker than the other side - depending on which side goes into the coil first. You will know what I mean. Anyway, the thinner side sometimes struggles to fill the relatively wide juice slot. I know the wick expands when its wet but maybe mine doesnt fill it properly.

Maybe I should also try using a fluffier wicking material if such a thing exists?

Anyhow, so far so good on my Dvarw since I replaced the o-ring. Maybe it was that. But I looked carefully at the o-ring I took out and I couldnt see damage to it. Then again my eyesight is not the best anymore. Lol.

@Silver I use a 3mm ID coil, Coilology Fused Clapton or their Framed Stapled Clapton in the Dvarw DL.

I think give the 3mm coil a go as you will need to use more cotton which should help solve your wicking problem.

To put it into perspective on Dvarw MTL I use a 2.5mm coil which is just enough cotton to go through the larger oval shaped juice ports on the chimney cap using the Exocet method but I push the cotton back into the chimney slightly. Never leaks.

Thanks @CaliGuy
I think I will try 3mm ID when I change the coil
But so far its working nicely and I am happy. Hope it lasts

Here we go again...

Sadly my Dvarw that I thought had it’s leaking issue resolved has leaked again.

I did leave it almost empty for about 2 days and when I returned and picked it up there was a fair amount of juice that leaked out the air hole.

Next step will be to try a bigger ID 3mm coil....

Sorry @Rob Fisher I know how much you love this tank but I am still struggling with these damn intermittent leaks. And it seems like it’s mainly when the tank is nearly empty and it stands for quite a while.

I think this has to do with a loss of pressure when its almost empty and sitting idle...
Used to have the same issue with my ammit dual.
Try the 3mm coil, haven't had a leaky dvarw in 12 months, using 3mm and wicks stuffed/ fluffed inside the chimney all the time.

Hi Ho @Silver leaving an RTA nearly empty and standing for a couple of days WILL leak every time! Most RTA's left to stand without being used for a few days will leak.

Changing the coil size or wicking ain't gonna change that. I also feel that a wick gets "old" and that also makes a difference... that's why I change wicks every two days.

The Dvarw will deliver the most amazing flavour for you but it needs to be looked after as well as used.

Thanks @Rob Fisher , appreciate that and I think you are right
But I have several devices on the go - so sometimes a day or two may go by without using a particular device. And especially if it needs a pit stop, then it gets neglected a bit until I have time to pitstop a few.

My other RTAs I use regularly do not do this and they all get their fair share of no usage for a while. So I need to figure it out for the Dvarw. Agreed, the flavour on it is very good!

Turn the tank upside down if you're not using it and its got juice in. Just take the driptip off and keep the tank upside down.

Thanks @M.Adhir , I hear you, but I don’t want to do that because then I have to unscrew the tank each time and put it back on. It needs to stay ready for action

My Subtank Mini, Skyline, Lemo, Rose MTL and one or two others (eg Kayfun V5 and V3 mini) don’t do this. So I need to get the Dvarw sorted

Good evening fellow Dvarw’ers,

Do you know who locally has stock of the DL 3.5ml glass tank?

I ordered one from KHW on 03/03 and by all indications it got “lost” upon arriving in SA.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

I have a spare steam tuners acrylic I may be willing to sell

Thanks @Muchis but I am set on the glass one. My juices eat up the other versions.

Did you try voodoo vapor?

Yup, sold out

I have been using the Ultem tank section without any problem with various juices. Mostly fruity menthol like Red Pill etc..... Also lemon and other citrus.

Me too but I don't think ultem is affected by the tank crackers like PC. Anyway I just got my glass tank section direct from KHW and man oh man is it a game changer.

How long did it take for delivery and what did it cost bro?

Works out about R400 per Glass Tank Section plus then another R450 to R500 for DHL Shipping.

I would suggest you find out if anyone is interested a Group Buy so that you can share the DHL costs.

I recently orders myself some items from KHW directly. Took 48 hours to arrive at my door with DHL. With mailing and SAPO expect it to take 30 Days or more and that’s if it doesn’t get “lost” which takes even longer.

I got quoted 40 euros for DHL shipping (its their standard 20 euros shipping plus an additional 20 to upgrade to DHL).

Please let me know if you're buying- i need some odds and ends off their site as well, we can share cost of the flying ship.
