Exvape Expromizer V4 MTL RTA

[CashKat88]

Morning Forumites,
So when it comes to MTL I am a round wire kinda guy(26g Kanthal) but I'm looking to try something more exotic, I've tried superfine but I hate how fragile that coil is, any suggestions on what coil to try that will give amazing flavor and runs at about 0.8 - 1.2 ohms, I'm on a flavour chasing journey.

 

[Ruwaid]

So did a fresh build and wick this morning. I have always used 2.5mm ID coils for all my mtl atties. But decided to try 3mm in the expro today. Reason being was so that I can get a little more wick through the coil yet still affords to fluff out on the tails without the risk of flooding the deck or getting a rowdy/crackly draw. I like it super quite and smooth.

I have tried mtl aliens, mtl staple, round wire (ss, ni80 and kanthal) but my go to is still VV superfine mtl wire. Its a good all rounder. To add...never the 32g as that's just to hard to work with at times. Always the 30g. Allows you to get thicker wicking through nicely.

Wire choice: (7 wraps, 3mm ID = +-0.85ohm)


Coil in with ease despite the small deck:



Coil height for my liking:


Cotton of choice was cloud kicker...3mm pre-cut strips (my first time using this)



Juiced up




Didn't manage to get the bubbles in time but wicking perfectly. 3 holes open at the airflow and first two JFC holes open...settled at 0.89ohms on the odin running at 18w.

for me with the coil legs down it works just peachy... no need to adjust it, just tighten the screws and off I go... also due for a rewick today

2.5mm is so far the winner for me personally

2.5 for me too, Ni80 Roundwire.

Fresh wicks! Still running the single SS 26g build. This juice is very good, but it's not wick friendly.

Thanks very much @Dela Rey Steyn

How far down do the wicks go? Just to the point they touch the deck - or a bit more - or a bit less?

I need to have another crack at wicking this when I have time.
Am using 2.5mm ID VV Superfine MTL Fused Clapton - coil height looks similar to yours - i.e. (underside) legs straight into the posts.

I dont think I overstuffed the cotton - I am used to the amount i need - quite snug in the coil but not too tight - but I think I may have had a bit too much wick into the deck part.

Anyway, am vaping JEL Havana Nightz which I know well
Flavour is ok but not great. On about the 8th tankful so far.
Not as good as the Rose MTL, which is my workhorse for this (similar coil and power setting) and its been my deskvape for a long time.

I need to get the Expro to its full potential to have a good comparison

What works best for me is 2.5mm ID, 6 wraps Vandy Vape Ni80 Superfine Mtl wire (30/38) - as per @Ruwaid 's image above.

As far as wicking is concerned, less is best and the shorter the legs the better since you can control the juice flow.

@Silver when I wick the cotton's edge lines up around the middle of the JFC holes. The juice pulls it down a bit. Not sure if you can make out from the photo, but the ends of the cotton is basically in line with the bottom of the JFC holes after a couple of Vapes. When I rewick again I'll try and take some more detailed photos.

Can someone try to chat to Vikings Vape and see why they are'nt bringing in spare glasses.
They have sold many atty's, surely there is a market for the glass as well.
Bubble or straight- some of us just want to have something spare just in case,

PS- i made contact as well. Just figure if more people ask they might see light

Yep, agree with only about halfway into the juice holes. Also, as long as the wick ports are covered at the top, whatever is down below can be REALLY scant and feathery.

 

[DarthBranMuffin]

Put your cotton in
Trim it down
Comb it out
Cut the wicks so that it does not stick out past the threading on the inner deck looking from the top
Tuck them in
Juice it up

Thanks @Dela Rey Steyn , @CJB85 and @DarthBranMuffin
Will try follow that on my next wicking!

Came quick

I'm getting a really funny taste from the tank. I got the same taste previously with the lemon 2 rta

machine oil

 

[Dela Rey Steyn]

machine oil

Was about to ask if you washed it before use @Rafique

I should have done that, I guess the excitement got to me.

 

[Silver]

I also did @Rafique
The first few tankfuls were very noticeable

I just rinsed the tank under water - but didnt do my usual hot water and sunlight soap and let it soak for a while procedure... (should have done that)

So I've probably been vaping a bit of machine oil - lol

But it has gotten less and less the more I vaped. Am on about my 8th tankful now.

Thanks @Silver, it's being cleaned as we speak. I think it will get better after a few tanks. With the Lemo 2, I just couldn't get the taste out even using an ultrasonic cleaner so hopefully I don't have the same issue.

12mg does seem abit light in this tank though

Ya, I am actually going to give it a proper clean with Sunlight and then rinsing on my next wick
And try get the wicking better.

Not sure about liquid strength - I have my usual Havana Nightz Blend in here (about 10-12mg I estimate) - and it seems ok. Might be a bit light - but I must say the flavour and richness is not there for me yet so I can't gauge it properly.

I do like the fact that it hasn't leaked or dribbled one drop (and no moisture) in many tankfuls - so that's a good thing.

Oh, 2ml capacity is definitely too low for me. If I get the wicking right and it comes to life I am definitely going to be keen for a bubble glass

I feel the same, maybe after I get the machine oil out it will be better. Nothing has managed to take my ammit mtl place, ticks all the boxes. SIREN comes close but had flooding a few times with it.

Hopefully they bring the extension tank in, just longer with 4 ml, not too keen on a bubble tank for MTL.

Same here, built it right out of the box, was like inhaling Q20! I did a soap and warm water wash, then threaded thin pieces of tissue through the chimney, then ultrasonic... all sorted after that.

@Silver I found success by using a bit less wick & cutting it shorter (you should see the end of the wick through the JFC holes). And gently & loosely tucking the tails into the wells and spreading, not jamming it in (same problem I had with the Skyline).
But what actually made the biggest difference for me was changing wick material. Before I was using TFC Elite, but since changing to CBV2 it has totally come to life - it’s a different atty and now I’m really loving it! Getting loads of flavour and nic hit. I’ve come close to silver-ing a few times
And just a plain 2.5mm 26G Kanthal build at just over 1ohm running 15W
