    GEM - RTA by markbugs

    Not sure if this was mentioned before but I came up with a neat way to fill that reduces the initial overflow. When filling, the pressure from the liquid being filled forces some excess liquid to sip into the coil via juice hole at the bottom. This produces the initial overflow that requires...

    GEM - RTA by markbugs

    pretty much same steps except for extra purge via mouth piece. i don't wait too long on initial draining and if i don't do the extra purging, i get small amount of leaks in AFC. this isn't a big deal as i always had this issue even with GEM I. i mix my own juice and they tend to be less sticky...

    GEM - RTA by markbugs

    interesting concept. took me little while to understand what modification you were referring to, but finally figured it out. reducing the air hole on the deck directly below the coil to deliver more concentrated airflow to the coil. i can see that having an impact to the vapor production. i am...

    GEM - RTA by markbugs

    Yup. for each refill, I do - flip the tank upside-down with airflow closed - open AFC over a napkin and let the overflow drip out - flip, have a napkin right infront of AFC, blow through mouthpiece leaks are pretty much stop now. trick was to use right amount of cotton and keep the AFC wide...

    GEM - RTA by markbugs

    Based on my experience, vapor density is impacted mostly by VG ratio in the juice. (reasonable coil build) One of the weak point of RTA is ability to handle 100% VG due to reliance on gravity feed. I have many different GG/GP RTAs and know it takes lots of tweaking to vape VG on those. As...

    GEM - RTA by markbugs

    on a separate note. juice flow on GEM II is huge! i was getting leaks through air hole in my first few builds. anybody else having similar issue? i have been slowly increasing the cotton amount on each build and got most of leaking stopped. i ended up using almost twice as much of cotton as i...

    As far as I know, WAEII30 didn't have 18500 tube option. WAEII40 comes with extra 18500 tube but not sure if it will fit WAEII30. (description of WAEII40 talks about a slight modification to the thread) As for WAEII30, yes it is 18650 mod and it will support both GEM I and GEM II. (and yes they...

    RDA Hot legs?

    if your coil isn't burning inside out, try sliding the rod you used to coil few times. slide it in and out few times, take it out, fire it and check. repeat until you see a nice red glow in the middle of coil. avoid having a sharp bends at the leg. if you think that it might be a wicking...

    Awesome response! To add my 2cents. Coming from technology sector, standardization is a common everyday issues we face. To avoid any bias against a single vendor, first thing the community would do is to rebranding of technology in discussion. Hence, if ProVari agrees to open source their thread...

    For those who might think that since GEM II "looks" the same as GEM I, it will perform the same, it is totally different vape. It's like taking a sedan and putting a sport car engine under the hood. Airflow, juice flow, and the deck all have modification done to make GEM II lung hitting, big...

    GEM - RTA by markbugs

    Can't believe they are still in stock. Managed to remove 2 from the stock. :thumbs: I might have goofed on my order. After the check out, saw the shipping charge on the invoice. I vaguely remember something about needing to purchase each unit separately from long time ago. Might have screwed...

    GEM - RTA by markbugs

    Been waiting for this. Thanks for continuing to enhance what is already the best atty on the market. Question. Is it possible to purchase additional coil decks along with the GEM II? I would like to have additional 3-4 decks. This will allow me to replace the coil much faster and more...

    Wizard EVOLVED

    I have been waiting over an year to hear you say that! :) Just like how GEM completes WAE, we need a regulated mod that completes Chalice. Please, Please! make one. :D And you can sign me up for 2!

    GEM - RTA by markbugs

    First of all, I am (or have been) Reo/Chalice guy for a very long time. Gem is the only atty to top that and have been using Gem/WAEII combo exclusively ever since it arrived. So, thanks to MB team for yet another blockbuster. Looking forward to WAEIII :) Anyway, reason for this note is to...

    GEM - RTA by markbugs

    I agree it is late in the game. Meant to suggest it while back. It will all come down to the quantity being released. If it is limited like the other MB product (except Chalice III), it will be a mad scene. Finally having a chance to use a topper that is worthy of WAEII is very exciting and...

    Any possibility of pre order route like how you did with Chalice III? Makes it super easy and convenient. Planning to buy 2 but don't think I can buy fast enough.

    Nic Base

    I have been using WizardLab and they seems to pretty good. But seems like there are several other better options people use. I mainly use WL since I can get all the flavoring and nic/PG/VG all together. As for safety in using Nic. I hate dealing with Nic as well and following method has been...

    Nic question??

    hmm, since nobody questioned this, I was having a bit of doubt on my math, but here it goes. When calculating Nic, isn't it against the total juice volume, not just the PG/VG base? Hence, additional flavor % needs to be calculated into the total volume. Above method would only work if no...

    Chalice - MarkBugs Bottom Feeder Atomiser - Official thread

    Reo currently uses 510 connector with slots. This is necessary for the carto airflow but isn't necessary for the regular BF atty with air holes on the cap. Without these slots, the bottom of atty can connect to 510 flush and could do away with o-rings. Problem with using o-ring for atty...
