ESG Skyline RTA

@Silver @Rob Fisher

You mentioned that this RTA works well with menthols. Does it work well with dessert and breakfast juice?

Will 3mm coils fit?

I haven't put a dessert in this tank @CMMACKEM - and if I have it was so long ago that I don't remember.
Maybe one of the other guys can help you out.

I just find the flavour on fruity menthols to be very good and very crisp.
Its not a big vape - more tame - but the flavour is pure and crystal clear if that makes sense.
Its not a boomy vape or a deep one - its a sparkling bright type of flavour.
I think it works well with the fruity menthols and thats all that I vape in it.
 
Thank you for that. It does not seem as if Reload will be releasing a new RTA(They are releasing a new single coil RDA) this year so I will be taking a punt on this or the new dual coil QP Designs RTA.
 
@CMMACKEM , I run fruity menthol and tobaccos in both my Skylines due to how well the flavor pops but also cause I vape high Nic. I find with desserts, the flavors only really come out at higher wattage and with the small chamber the coils gunk up quick.

Me experience with Looper is wonderful in the skyline where Null’s cheesecake is so rich in the skyline I can’t vape it through there, in a RDA it’s lovely though.

Hope it helps
 
With all the new Skylines popping up I decided to fire one up too! Still a fantastic flavour RTA!

The Skyline is such an amazing atty for me.

Have vaped 57ml of juice on this wick - almost 20 tankfuls - and would you believe it the flavour is still very good.

I rewicked it last on 9 March!

Will rewick soon but just want to see when the flavour starts degrading a lot. So far this has not happened.

Helps I am vaping a forgiving juice (it would seem) - LIT Sidechick.

No leaks, no nonsense. Just reliable and consistent vaping. Only drawback is the relatively smallish tank size and the extra schlepp when refilling (taking off the screw thing and the hex thing) - but it's worth it for the marvellous trouble free vape

Sad day. My glass cracked on my Skyline.

I won't go into the details. Let's just say if you are a bit frustrated don't bang your mod too hard on the granite kitchen table ;-)

I have a spare glass but am going to give the cleito bubble glass a try.

And the good news is that I have to rewick. After about 60ml of juice. So I am going to have a chance to use the new Vape Shears ;-)

Let's see how it goes. I hope there's no other damage to the tank

I used the Vape Shears to cut the wick tails and a bit of the 'bow tie' off.

First impression of the Shears is that they seem to be very good. They are very sharp and did cut the wicks perfectly. Only 4 snips on them so its still early days. I'm also not used to the feel in the fingers (have used my Dischem yellow scissors for years). The Dischem scissors might feel a bit more comfortable in the hand and they do the job well too despite being old. But it's early days. So far I am happy with the new Vape Shears. They certainly cut very well.

Installed the Cleito bubble glass after lubing all the o rings.

Voila. It's working perfectly. No leaks so far. Looks a bit odd but man it takes way more juice. Lol the lettering on the vape band is a bit stretched because the glass is wider.

But I am so happy now. Flavour is awesome on the new wick. Strangely, not MUCH better than the old wick but noticeably sharper and crisper.

This could just solve the issue of the Skyline having too little capacity with the schlepp of filling so often. Let's see.

Am very pleased and quite excited about this. Am smiling now. It forced me to try the new bubble glass so in a way I'm happy the old glass broke. Lol.

Skyline for the win. Bulges and all!

@Silver have you tried this Geekvape wire in the Skyline. It’s make the perfect coil for the Skyline.
2.5mm Coil 6x Wraps @ 0.50ohm to 0.55ohm.

Find this wire way better, longer lasting and more flavourful than the MTL wire option available, give it a try sometime.

Thanks for the suggestion @CaliGuy

My coil could do with a replacement. It's been in service for several months!

I just didn't feel like changing it tonight. Will do it another time.

Am using the VandyVape superfine MTL fused Clapton wire

Compared to the Geekvape wire you showed it looks like the only difference is 3 strands of 30ga inner core versus 2 stands on mine. So a bit lower resistance. Mine on about 6 wraps or so is about 0.75 ohms. Outer strands are the same at 38ga and both NI80

Will get a spool and try it sometime. Thanks for the headsup
 
@Silver your observation is spot on, having the 3rd strand of core wire adds some rigidity to the coil which I prefer as the coil moves around alot less when threading the cotton.

Plus the flavour for me is top notch not that the Vandy Vape MTL isn’t great at flavour.

I have also being using this wire to make a 5 wrap 0.40ohm coil that I use in my Dvarw MTL with the largest 2.5mm airflow insert, gives a perfect and flavourful restricted DL vape.

This specific Geekvape wire is so useful and cost effective, very similar spec of the Coil Company Nano Aliens. I highly recommend it to any MTL/Restricted DL vaper one a budget.

oh the horror!
Purists everywhere are praying the bubble glass breaks! :D

P.S ists less than a ml extra capacity with the bubble glass.
 
I had to take one of my Skylines out the display cabinet! Yip the Skyline is still a flavour winner! :h:
