High end RTAs

Update on the rose;

So I was checking it every few hours at work with no leaking, then just a few little drops coming out but it was collected inside the 510 of the atty with just a drop or two resting on the + post of the mods 510, but then I forgot for like 6hrs, took it off and the mod was full of juice, had to spend an hour unscrewing the whole mod and putting it back together. This is with all brand new orings that I specifically checked each one for irregularities... sorry but this thing is badly designed junk imo.

I need to throw it away or ill forget and try to use it again.

The problem with it for me is that the af hole in the deck is pretty much flush with the deck surface and its not clear to me how the wire holes are actually sealed so if the JF is open even a quarter turn too much and you dont have a whole bunch of wick in there, it will eventually seep down one of the three orifices and eventually out the 510. I love the vape on this thing but the leakage down the 510 just p'd me off too much so i sold it....shame!

Yeah it's just not worth it, sucks bc I like the vape that you get off a really short wick like the rose and ubertoot.

Idk if I asked this but how many wraps and what spacing are you guys using for a TC coil in the hussar? do you try to move the coil down a bit closer to the hole?

Also is there a way to get just the spare tank? I ordered some of the ones from FT for backups and they fit but theyre kind of tight & jc don't turn as smoothly as the authentics. Vapinart don't sell just the tank aparently.

i have 7 wraps of 27g NiFe48 around 2.5mm which is around 0.27Ω. probs 1.5-2mm from air hole!

You can try emailing them as I havent seen spare tanks available anywhere!

Do you try to push it down a bit? I always feel like it's up a little high but it seems to work. My 28g SS 430 always comes out to around .8-9.

 

[TheotherSteveS]

I probably do push it down a little. Been a while since I recoiled it to be honest!

yeah, the higher resistivity of SS over NiFe's is a plus but for me, the much higher TCR of NiFe48 carries the day!!

I have some resistherm and nifethal but it has a flavor to it kind of like kanthal does. I still think it's probably the best TC wire to use in mods that use tcr though.

Im totally addicted to the vape i get from NiFe30 from Dicodes...

I always reccommend the nife's for people who love kanthal but want to try out TC... hard to go wrong there.

O'ring here will fix leaking 510 pin.

When I got this tank it leaked only after 1 tank. Luckily I unmounted the tank when I was refiling or I could damaged my mod. It needed just a wipe and it was OK. After that I installed 1 o'ring and monitored what is happening with the pin. It was still leaking. Probably because fist o'ring was little thin. I added another o'ring and now 510 pin is completely dry.

Yeah that's one of the ones I replaced, I've tried a few different sizes in there... this time it worked for a little while but I'm guessing it kept filling up with juice or pressure from going indoors/outdoors got to it or something... like I said though I think that is kind of a band-aid fix for a flawed tank that's literally always leaked on me and most everyone else I know that has one. No matter what you do you've still got juice where it's not supposed to be and eventually that will cause a problem. I mean this is a problem that could potentially damage part of your mod, and idk anything they've done to fix it... I'm just done w/ it I'll pif it or throw it away so I don't forget and try again.

 

[excalibur-x]

I thought you were replacing different o'rings.

Eden mods offer small o'rings for the positive pin. Maybe last try.

I love this atomizer. Yes, it can be a PITA with leaking, turning upper ring and high maintenance, but the way it vapes and how I got it, makes it my precious.

I'm 986th in line for Turkish made Spica RTA. 735 of them were already shipped. I hope it's worth the wait.

The ST drop kit for the GTIII is what this RTA needed to be a daily driver for me. It's a great atty but felt huge and I did not like the caged tank. Sort of Marvel Comics in appearance. A cumbersome design requiring needle nose for disassembly topped off with a pitiful thin glass tank and no spare. I'm a MTL/DTL and the wide bore drip tip was not for me. The ST kit and a KF (clone, shame) drip tip has put this well made RTA in my daily rotation. The GTIII may now be part of my travel kit too. First trip with it, so far so good. A big thank you to the folks at ST!

 

[kiba]

Yeah the gt3 is great with a short chimney, Its my daily when I have to travel for work bc it's the only atty that doesn't empty itself all over my pocket. But when I'm not traveling I've been using the hussar.

 

[cveez11]

My current line up (Hussar with steamtuners kit, KF5 with bell cap, and Taifun GT3 with steam tuners kit). Have a Tilemahos Armed coming tomorrow.

Tried to post a pic, but says too large, not sure how to do it

 

[TheotherSteveS]

Just got the Dwarv...

It is neat! Well machined (very well), no oil, nice neat package. It is a very nice little RTA. Havent built it yet but first impressions are extremely favourable!!
