ESG Skyline RTA

why not ?

just kidding !

duck and run
I think the creators of the skyline (ESG) stick to what they are good at and coating a piece of finely machined SS with a perfect finish isn't their forte.

thanks, it must be an awesome rta, I really want to try one and see for myself

one day
 
@Rob Fisher Is the Sky Drop 'drip tip liquid controller' interchangeable with the (JFC) from the standard Skyline?[/USER]

It looks good but doesn't quite fit... I did get a little over excited but then I realised the JFC didn't work too well with this setup.

@ddk1979 And @SinnerG.
I will be doing this in a few posts...
I'm no skyline wicking expert but this is my method and this works for me.
Just some pics showing the initial coil position and the heights of the coil.
Wire used is 2x 28AWG inner cored claptoned with 40 AWG ni80.
2.5mm ID and royal wicks cotton.

As for the browning of the juice it's a personal preference one needs to find.

It's a balance between taste and how often you need to rewick based on the juice used.
Some juices are absolutely fantastic in flavour but go black/Brown after half a tank and destroy wicks in general.
Some juices I can get 10 refills out of a skyline.

It's a fine balance between how often you want to rewick and what juice suits you in the skyline.
E.g.

The skyline on the right was rewicked and that is the effects after 1 tank but the juice in question will no longer be used in a skyline as it is new and I was trying it out first in a skyline.

It doesn't make the cut as I don't want to rewick a skyline more than once a week and I would prefer a good 2 days use out of a juice.
 
A pic of the discolouration happening but this is also a new juice in trying out and I'm loving it!
15 minutes of chain vaping later....

@Christos do you make your own coils?

Do you normally vape at 12Watts - MTL or res.lung?

:)

I make my own coils.
I do direct lung hits.
The MTL and DLH descriptions are rather confusing for me as what some people call MTL devices I can DLH. A restricted DHL is probably what I do as I prefer some resistance when taking a draw.

At 12 W the vape is rather warm and I suspect at 15W I would burn the cotton. The mx also seems to work at lower watts than my DNA devices.
Different skyline but same build on a different mod.

Thanks!
I can see I probably didn't thin my cotton out enough. Yours doesn't dam up the juice ports, seems to allow a lot of liquid space. You also don't seem to tuck in the top of the cotton, maybe only after juicing it up it looks combed down.

I'll try again later this evening once the stupid people stop their panic around here. :D

I hit Juicy Joe's again today and bought more Bertie's Vapbucco sweet nuts. Did a clean build in the wasp nano. But I think I have a bigger problem here.

I can't taste stuff properly it seems. At least not vape stuff. I'm getting the same cotton mouth thing on most flavours. So I've dug up some remaining Moondrops on Ice and attempting a reset. :D
 
Thanks for the explanation and pics @Christos :campeon:.
Much appreciated.
You definitely use what looks to be extremely thin wicks.
I combed out my wicks so much (although not as thin as yours) that the entire wick tails are basically straight (like a horse's tail).
Will give it another go tomorrow.

Yup, I'm not an advocate of blocking the juice holes. I would say 90% is blocked but not 100%.

I do tend to chain vape the skyline because it's usually that good for me anyways so I like long draws in a short succession until the tank is empty!
 
My turn for a solo rewick attempt tomorrow, hope I will get it right, I cannot put the tank down!:) Hope there is not going to be too much swearing and stressing involved.
