    Ares, new MTL RTA designed by Phil Busardo and Dimitirs Agrafiotis

    I don't watch all of Todd's reviews but I've definitely seen a few where he ....s on things if he thinks they're bad. He definitely is critical and points out even small flaws, which is one thing I appreciate about Phil as well; for example tiny gaps on a mod because of sloppy finishing or QA...

    Ares, new MTL RTA designed by Phil Busardo and Dimitirs Agrafiotis

    He's not really a MTL vaper so should you even care about his opinion? It's like me trying out direct lung RDAs. Sure, I can appreciate and recognise pros and cons but since I don't really enjoy that style of vaping I can't really give a useful perspective.

    Ares, new MTL RTA designed by Phil Busardo and Dimitirs Agrafiotis

    Yeah sure I was just surprised that it wasn't a bit more restricted, consider Phil complained about the Siren V1 being a bit too airy even at the tightest setting. which I completely agreed with.

    Ares, new MTL RTA designed by Phil Busardo and Dimitirs Agrafiotis

    Still waiting on mine to ship from Fasttech because it was the only place that had the 2ml. For a tighter MTL draw we would ideally have 30% less holes in the Ares' diffuser.

    Vandy Vape BERSERKER (24mm) MTL RTA

    Using cotton bacon I got barely any cotton flavour from the beginning.

    Vandy Vape BERSERKER (24mm) MTL RTA

    2.5 but now I am curious to try at least a 3mm with this tightly packed wicking method.

    Vandy Vape BERSERKER (24mm) MTL RTA

    Update on the really tightly packed wicking method. Working perfectly 2 refills later. Flavour and vapour production is consistently really good. Funnily enough, I even stopped flipping the tank around when filling, to prevent gurgling!

    Vandy Vape BERSERKER (24mm) MTL RTA

    I only consider SS safe for use other than Ti. Furthermore, you really need to get those contact coils glowing before you can use them for TC. The problem is you're not only oxidising a thing film around the surface of the wire when you're glowing them like that. You're altering the structure...

    Vandy Vape BERSERKER (24mm) MTL RTA

    Very interesting series of videos, you should watch all 4. Thank you to the guy for going through the work so that we don't have to :D Interestingly, I expected this to be fine for an RDA but RTA's are a bit different. However, I rewicked my Berserker with tightly packed cotton and it's working...

    Vandy Vape BERSERKER (24mm) MTL RTA

    Safer is what I meant. There's published data and ongoing investigations of how VG and PG produce significant amounts of aldehydes above 240C and I'm pretty sure a lot of those cloud chasing/dual clapton vapers reach at least 250C, regardless of the vast amount of airflow. So yeah, TC I think...

    Vandy Vape BERSERKER (24mm) MTL RTA

    Spaced coils are the only way right now for reliable TC and TC is the future, as it is the only thing that ensures vaping is safe. Open systems, claptons, cloud chasing, is either going away or will be discouraged. And yes TC works perfect if you do it right; good board (DNA), good 510 contact...

    Ares, new MTL RTA designed by Phil Busardo and Dimitirs Agrafiotis

    And here is the difference between the two of them. In the newest video Phil put up, when making a brief list of top products for 2017 he named the Siren v1 and the now improved Siren v2...

    Well apparently there is some history there from Vic's part calling them names. Regardless the points Phil makes in his response are all valid.

    What did i miss where did Phil respond? Reviewers are human, I expect some impulsive reactions but what I won't accept is someone trying to pass it along as constructive criticism.

    Ares, new MTL RTA designed by Phil Busardo and Dimitirs Agrafiotis

    Thank's for the clarification. Laying on it's side is a reasonable test that I perform as well. I think even PBusardo did it on occasion. If it turns out that mine does the same I will expect a refund. This and the Zenith are tanks aimed at attracting newer vapers and leaking on it's side...

    Ares, new MTL RTA designed by Phil Busardo and Dimitirs Agrafiotis

    Most of us follow these threads because we're fans of MTL, not one specific reviewer or manufacturer. I've always appreciated Imeos work even though I've also disagreed with him a lot, for example. I also believe Phil is probably the only decent reviewer out there. The Berserker has been my...

    Ares, new MTL RTA designed by Phil Busardo and Dimitirs Agrafiotis

    So his issue is that they borrowed ideas from the other RTAs instead of coming up with something completely different? Newsflash, vaping is almost a decade old. Anything you're bound to release is most probably based on the work of others before you. Choosing the between the good ideas and...
