I pulled the trigger and ordered a black Reload 24 from BLCKVAPOR @Richio , now the wait begins
At that price, I hope this thing is worth the hype!
It should logically be an MTL tank!
A good set of Nano Aliens, 3x 28 or 29AWG cores, with 36 or 38AWG outer, N80, 3mm 6 wraps. Should be around the 0.17-0.20ohm mark. Cut the legs at 4mm, install flush on the deck while screwing the legs secure, with the 3mm coil rod in the coil. Once secure pull up, till the slack is gone and the coils should automatically be at almost perfect height, pulse and pull again, will bring them slightly higher. Position coils closer to the center, about 1mm gap in between. Wick tight enough to have to pull the cotton through but not enough to deform the coils, comb only the very ends out as this will remove loose fibers and straighten the cotton closer to the coil without losing the bulk that keeps it saturated. Place your scissors on the outer o ring, tilt 45 degrees and snip, the cotton will peek about halfway through the wick ports.
Most people cut them at that length, at 4mm its perfect for me because I pull the slack out completely that the 3mm rod is snug and has to be rotated to remove from the coil, something about slack coil legs troubles me . But if you don't mind that, the 6-6.5mm should work fineGot it @Moey_Ismail .
WRT coil cutting: a few people (as well as a tutorial by Crafted Coils) have mentioned that the coil legs should be cut at 6-6.5mm. This so that the coils sit above the air holes. How are the 4mm legs working out for oyu?
Placed an order with BLCK Vapor at 10am, received it at 3pm the very same day. THAT IS SERVICE!
Speaking of which, their shipping is only R65 to PTA/JHB. Why can't all shops do the same? I'm all for supporting vape shops but I'm not prepared to pay R150 for shipping that's less than 10km away. There shouldn't be an excuse, the technology and partners are there and there shoulbd be a contstant drive to make vape goods more accessible to the ever-growing customer base, which there doesn't seem to be.
Anyways, rant over, back on topic:
Received my Reload RTA yesterday and I am extremely happy!
Coiled (Wotofo dual core aliens, 3mm ID) and wicked it (CB Prime) and got it right on the first try!
It's 0.09 ohms and at 75w it seems to be at it's best.
Just a few questions:
1. Bearing in mind that this tank will be used exclusively for desserts, can anyone recommend a set of coils for it?
2. I see that that drip tip is fairly unique, does anyone know where I can get a replacement that matches my gunmetal Centaurus?
Overall; very happy and one of the best pieces of kit that I have.
I actually think it's right; I hate most bubble glasses and I don't really like most tall RTAs.
They're great performers, the ribbon, frames and outer all heat up different, and gives this layering effect on the flavor

It won't really affect the vape if the cotton is thinned out enough. Mine sits just behind the cotton retaining ring with a few stragglers peeking through.
Tried many different coil positions and this for me was the best, in theory the air pressure builds up beneath the coils, engulfing them completely, bringing all the flavor particles up. Also having the coils closer to the airflow ports makes the draw tighter
