Can't really see from the pic, but it's a very civilized 1.35 ohms. Taste "should be" abundant.

However, i cannot taste a thing.
It's joyetech's ry4, which is a strong juice when it comes to flavour.
Against water and this, water would have more flavour. I don't even taste the pg or glycerein..
Almost time to pass this rocket on me thinks...
 
How much for the rocket
I think 130 is fair, if not a bargain. But i will do one more build after this. If that does not pan out, then i will just say that the rocket is not compatible with me :p
Rocket has seen about 4 or 5 builds.
 
Actually let me finish this tank and ill take pics of my build just got tapatalk so I can do pics etc. the rocket gives me the best flavor of all the attys I own but it's a ***** to build
 
:( my vaoe budget already blown .. wanted to try it out oh well ill pick one up another time

Ill take it from you but let me first try to get you to change your mind

Yes, I agree, I got excellent flavour from the rocket, but one build was enough to convince me not to try again.
 
So far for me the best is between the nimbus and the ithaka.
Nimbus gives tons of flavour, and plumes of vapour, but not much th. Thus it's a toy really. Ithaka gives best balance of all. Cant wait for the day i own a real one :)
 
Eviltoy you still using the same coil I built or did you rebuild?

How is the build on the Ithaka? Does it not take non-resistance wire as well? How does one do that?

I bought 100 ready wires from the states. 1st to test. After that i will increase order qty.
When I buy a real ithaka one day I will invest in a wire zapper. Like a miniature welding machine.
 
So 8 wraps around 1.6mm with 28g wire come to smidge over 1ohm

Hehe practice I love these rba's took me 5min to build

This is exactly how I set up my Kayfuns. Only I do 6 wraps and it meters out at 0.7. This for me is the holy grail on a Kayfun/Rocket. PLUMES and strangely enough good flavor with cotton. (More on this below) But I write that down to the Kayfun's chimney and not the wick.

But I got to tell you guys. I'm not sold on this cotton ball thing. I spent 4 hours today doing coils. All of them were similar builds. The only variant was wicking material. I used 2 of my favorite flavors. Gambit from Five Pawns and Black Cherry Cream Soda from Plume Room.

Cotton, Silica and Ekowool took the stage and I have to tell you that Cotton completely f...d both these juices up for me. To a point were I was like, this juice is not so good after all. I then dripped it on Ekowool and bam - I was in heaven. I'm not talking about that break in phase of cotton either. Best way to explain it is that it's as if the cotton filters out some of the juice's layers. You get the general taste of it, but it misses that shine that made it special. The sweetness of the juice, no matter what the intensity also drops. All of this was done in Cyclone Drippers.
It just loses that special taste. And when you're vaping a $27 bottle of juice, that's a big loss. I used these flavors because I know them well, especially Gambit and I have to tell you I'm moving away from cotton balls. FAST.
Especially in a dripper. On my Kayfun I have a better experience with cotton, but I haven't done an ekowool build on it lately and I bet that if I do I'm going be like - Okay so that's what I forgot about.

I am curious about this though: http://www.kidneypuncher.com/cotton-square-braid-candle-wick-1-0/

I have some on the way and will get back to you on it.
But if I had to give it a score out of 10 for flavor on a dripper with identical coils:

Cotton gets a 5/10 and seriously mutes some of my juice.
Ekowool gets a 10, since I think Ekowool is still the best thing I vaped juice off of an there's nothing better to compare it too.

Yes cotton wicks better. It holds more juice. These are perks. But I don't think It's something I'll use as a wick in the future.

Interesting taste being a subjective thing I feel the opposite. I tried ekowool didnt like it much however it is much better than silica. I still get the best taste out of cotton to be honest. I did note however that if you compress the cotton too much it does mute flavour so there is a sweet spot with cotton

Must be a that.
People share these opposite opinions all over the forums. My exhale on cotton gives me the shell of the taste, but there's no color. It's really just flat. I honestly sat here with two atties right next to each other. Everything identical.
Ekowool kicked it's ass.

I have also tried all three. Really not all that much of a difference between them discernible to me. However, I have not done a comparable test as RevnLucky has done, so my observations are anecdotal at most. Maybe should try a proper test at some time.
RevnLucky, what was your score on the silica? Do you order from Kidney Puncher - from their web site I infer that they do not export to South Africa?
