    RDA Round-Table Discussion and Lookout

    For anyone looking for a new atty, the Goon atty is available for preorder over at district f5ve's website. I don't know if anyone's spoken about it in this thread but it's $60 for stainless, $65 for copper or brass & I'd say that's a pretty great deal on what looks like a killer 24mm atty with...

    RDA Dotmod Petri v2

    What did you strip, your screw head or the threading? And I've noticed a little whistling with it, but only when there is no vapor production. The o-rings aren't the best, I prefer the clear o-rings that came with my v1 Petri. If you have any paintball shops near you or something of the like...

    RDA Dotmod Petri v2

    That's really pretty weak on their part. It sounds like they're saying they didn't receive their wholesale order. And how are they going to know which 15ml flavor you want? I'd get back to them on that part. The build in mine is actually not just a simple alien. It's a little different. It's...

    RDA Kennedy 24mm RDA thoughts.

    You didn't really hijack the thread. But since the SOISZ + K24 combo is the most expensive on your list (although you are talking about a shorty ceracoate which adds about $40 to the price), I'd say go Roundhouse Copper + Copper deck + Black cap. The copper deck is gonna need some upkeep but...

    The search for Blue Raspberry...

    Do you have a link to it? I've vaped this one flavor by Juice Maniacs called "Brainstorm" which is a blue raspberry slush puppy, but didn't really like the fact that it was a 70/30(VG/PG) juice. That extra 10% PG gave it a harsher taste. I like to use 80/20's and up since I mainly drip. I make...

    The search for Blue Raspberry...

    Hey all, I've been making my own ejuice since I started vaping in August 2014. My father got me into DIY juice right from the jump & it's saved me a ton in juice purchasing cost. I have my few regular flavors I enjoy, I always have a constant stock of them. However there's one flavor I can not...

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    A parallel box in theory doubles mAh & Amps. But with the amps it's really a 1.5x, so with say VTC4's, your CDR would be around 45A. A series box doubles the voltage. It's like stacking batteries so you get 2 cells with double the power. It's great for those builds with a long ramp time around...

    RDA Dotmod Petri v2

    The gold is so so shiny in person. It's too nice. And to NOT strip your screws, I recommend a 0 or 00 Phillipshead screwdriver. It's pretty tiny. I have one from a FT velocity clone that came with Phillips grub screws instead of Allens.goooooolllddddit also comes with an Allen key (for the...

    RDA Kennedy 24mm RDA thoughts.

    That's a pretty sexy mod. I may have to pick one up. Just for simplicity's sake. Subzero partial disassembly. With the shorty switch you'd see the same internal silver plated clutch plate, contact, & top contacts. Minus the lock ring & stuff inside the button housing. This mod gets warm with low...

    Shorty is the same size as the legendary switch in diameter. The only thing that's different is the switch housing.

    RDA Kennedy 24mm RDA thoughts.

    I can only attest to the subzero mod and the K24 atty itself. I have a legendary switch on mine, it's a fantastical mod. Hits like a freight train. The Kennedy 24 on its own is an amazing atty. I'd assume you'd be getting the copper deck, to go with a roundhouse mod or a subzero. The subzero's...

    that's not polished square wire is it? You're square wrap alien looks great too. @Rockwell222 the square wire is great to work with. It's a little stiff & tricky at first, but the round equivalent to it is 32g around a .2xx diameter. The .2x.2 square is definitely harder to work with, but it's...

    RDA Dotmod Petri v2

    I've not heard of that site, I got mine from localvape & I'm not too concerned with getting a second v2. Good looks on that though, I'd still call that shop and see if they're legit.

    One dry coil one wet coil...(pic)

    I pull off both layers and roll them in my hands so they look like J's. Kinda like the Scottish roll wick or whatever it's called but with pieces already cut from the pad. Works very well for me.

    RDA Dotmod Petri v2

    Okay so pics of the v1 vs the v2 air holes. You can see the bevel around the v2 (black) is much more pronounced than on the v1. The hole itself also is a little bit smaller, as I used a coiling rod to test the 3 caps I own. A v1 cap, a cloud cap, and the v2 cap. The v1 & cloud cap air holes fit...

    Ah my bad, it looked like your post had a circular hole the lead was going into instead of the slot in the v2 for some reason. My head must be glitching, it's too early over here and I'm going snowboarding for the second day in a row. I redact my comment. No edits to these color shots. I...

    Starting make coils

    Actually it's kinda easy to distinguish from PEEK, my Petri v1 & v2 both have full PEEK surrounding the entire deck. They're an off white color. The delrin around the sapor's 510 screw is clear. Also my TM atty and Doge v2 came with extra PEEK insulators and they're the same off white color as...
