ESG Skyline RTA

Thank you uncle @Rob Fisher
To be very honest sir...
I was expecting more, but I'm sure it's just the build. With this build in it, it's just a hairs width better than my SM25 with exactly same build and juice.

You have any recommendations on a build?

24g Ni80 7 wrap 2,5 or 3mm. For me the best build is a Special Clapton 2,5mmm that @RiaanRed makes for me.
 
Honest feedback @jpzx12rturbo
What juice were you vaping in there?

I have Paulies strawberry lemon cake in both the skyline and SM25

Look don't get me wrong there's definitely a difference on the skyline. Like I said maybe I was just expecting like RDA type of flavor......
the flavor seems to be a bit more concentrated and I'm getting more of the lemon coming through on the skyline...

I think the build just isn't doing it justice.
Might need another coil
Might need to lower/raise the coil

I just need to play with it and find what works best.

Or I'm just full of shit and can't taste lol
 
@jpzx12rturbo - hang in there - maybe you should try Rob's suggested build and from there, vary one thing at a time.

I built about 100 coils and varied so many things till I got what I think is the perfect vape on my RM2 for my Blackbird tobacco. Varied the wraps, coil gauge, internal ID and coil position. Very methodically, one at a time....

Edit - and the wick.....

Hope you get it right...

Oh hell yes!
I'd be stupid not to try what Rob suggested. The man has had way more time on the skyline than me.

Im sure I'll get it perfected... hell I have access to all you guys and experience so...

Also, remember that the juice that Rob vapes is quite different.
Robs XXX is a 50/50 fruity light menthol
Yours is a dessert and if I recall, Paulies juices are 70% VG
So I think the perfect coil for Rob and XXX may not be the perfect one for your juice (and of course, your taste)
 
Wow, Another Great review. The 1 con regarding the changing of airdisks makes some sense. But overall not a major issue. I must say, I just travelled with my skyline on a 5 day trip to jhb. Was scared to take my HE RTA anywhere, but Went and came back without the need to wipe down or change the coil for that 5 days was a dream come true. A Solid travel RTA.

The way he starts to vape after putting in juice is the exact same way I have been doing it. Vape a bit then slowly open juice flow. That for me prevents flooding and to date not 1 drop has come out.
 
Couple of notes... Phil was not correct on removing the airdisk... you don't push from the bottom... the device for removal goes in from the top and the hole fits that lip and out it comes.

And my Skyline doesn't have any movement at all from the juice flow control... not sure why his moved a little?

The Skyline is expensive yes... but it certainly is still the best RTA on the planet! :h:

Yes, I know the way he was doing it was wrong, but the point of changing the airdisk, instead of the top it should be underneath makes more sense. so u don't have to remove the coil.

My v1 does not have movement either :)
 


Thanks @Rob Fisher for sharing
Phil Busardo is great because he is so thorough and conveys the info in an easiy to understand manner.
This looks like a super tank and I am looking forward to it!
 
On thr point of removing the airdisk from the top and having to change the coil, i know what he is talking about. Hehe

I wanted to remove the airflow restrictor on my Merlin Mini but didnt feel like changing the coil.
I managed to remove the wick and put in a mandrel and move the coil a bit up to get the restrictor out, afterwhich i moved the coil back into position. It worked but i did manage to deform the coil slightly and the vape was slightly less good after.

I just hope we get the larger tank capacity and not the 2ml TPD version
 
Pitstop for the Skyline... new 2,5mm staple clapton and now on top of my new Limited Edition Black Rose in purple stab wood!

So South Africa has already snagged 5% of the units!
 
I cannot wait. Honestly my skyline has been so flawless to date. And it has travelled very well. No leaks at all.
 
I don't think a fast internet connection would have helped here. Server crashed so many times. Thank goodness we have the group buy. Feel sorry for those who did not act on this 1. They truly missing out.
