Digiflavor Pharaoh Dripper tank....Thoughts,Builds and Reviews

[hertigg]

I have retired my pharaoh. Between the leaking and the annoyance of unscrewing it to redrip, I just found it too much of a pain. It's a shame too, as I really liked the single coil deck that allowed exotic coils. Maybe the issues can get fixed on a v2.

Love that thing...it is a clone, I have to admit...and have no problems at all!

Ok, the screws are kinda too soft, but the rest is really well made!

I have to ask if anyone else is having this issue.

Leaking.

It's not coming out of the air flow holes. But it seems to be coming from the seam of the AFC, and leaving a circular pool of liquid. I am not convinced it is juice because it doesn't seem to have that won't ever get off my hands feel to it, but seems like maybe condensation from the air flow is leaking through the seam?

If upon changing cotton I give it a rinse and let it dry, it seems to stop it for a couple days, but then it will begin again.

Just curious because I haven't seen many complaints, and the one or two I have seen, there was no explanation or fix. Other than that, it has been a good rda.

Yeah I get the same thing occasionally but it's not all the time and there's nothing that appears to cause it. It just sometimes doesn't leak but then the next time you look at it there's liquid all around the bottom. I put up with it just because the flavor is good and the thing is so easy to build and wick.

OMG! Today I made up a 24g ss316l parallel spaced coil. 8 wraps 3.5m. Id for the pharaoh rda. .24ohms 80watts 415°F. The clouds are good but the flavor is like your drinking the juice out of the bottle. AMAZING!

I usually use the pharoah with dual fused claptons that I make myself ( anyone interested I use 26 awg kanthal for the core and 34 awg kanthal for the fuse )this usually reads .19 with 5 wraps, but I recently have been putting round coils in normally 22 awg 7 wraps of this precision screwdriver I have and in dual coil it ohms out at around .2 ohms.

I just received my dripper tank today. And I have followed rip trippers method for wicking but, the flavor seems muted. Do I need to keep the juice well lid fully opened or as rip trippers said to close it upto the cotton wick? I am using single staple staggered coil reading at .14 ohms.

nice information, will try

Hey everyone I have had my The Digiflavor Pharaoh for over a week and have generally enjoyed the experience. For me where this RDA (yes RDA not Dripper tank) shines is a great RDA for on the go. Due to its generous 2 ml drip well and cup feature in the top cap it makes for a nice hard to spill RDA that as long as I'm not vaping past 75 watts I can get a good 20-25pulls off before refilling.

It has a pretty unique spring loaded clamp style deck with bottom airflow that in my opinion is built for Large single coil builds. You can dual coil but do to the nature of the deck gives me inefficient wicking with larger coils. I have tried a dual coil build with some single core Claptons that are more moderate in juice consumption and it was wicking fine. Really it's up to you but I prefer the large single coil build option.

I have run some large 316l Fused Claptons and various other wire types (staggered fused And Alien) but what I have settled on is a Large Framed staple 6ply Ka1 ribbon framed with 28g n80 and wrapped with 38g n80 5 wraps around a 3mm bit. Resistance is .18 (single yikes hehe) and I'm running it between 75-90watts which is giving me a yummy thick vape. HOWEVER I have seen this RDA described by multiple people as a flavor machine and I'm sorry but I'm just not getting that. The flavor in my opinion is decent but nothing crazy or special. Don't get me wrong as I said its a great vape. Easy to build on , fairly leak resistant , holds a good amount of juice and is a great on the go RDA but flavor machine it is not.
The reason I think it's flavor seems a bit muted is 2 fold in my opinion. The heighth of the RDA and the Cupped top cap. It does not funnel vapor toward the mouth piece but almost traps it to the sides of the RDA.

If I had a choice of doing away with that cupped top cap for a nice domed top cap I would trade in a second. As is I am still really pleased with this RDA and can definitely recommend it to someone looking for a good all around, easy to build and or portable RDA

Here are some shots of my latest build a I put in the framed staple
