    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    I got some of the cup point in various sizes on Amazon for $12. They will be here Sunday. You’re right about the file, I planned on just filing them flat if they didn’t hold down the wire, but I’d rather not file them to size lol

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    I use wire I got from Amazon and some Vandy Vape I get from my local shop... don’t notice much of a difference. Are you sure they’re m2.5 x 3? I stripped the Phillips that it came with earlier today, and I dropped the last two replacement ones in my carpet lmao... trying to find some on Amazon...

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    I’m glad you found some use out of the thread. This RTA still frustrates me at times - mainly with leaking and pooling by the 510, but I’ve found that if I raise the coil up to just below the posts and I push the cotton down into the well/focus it to block the juice hole (like Bruce describes in...

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    Just wanted to report back what ended up working for me. I switched to a spool of 26gauge kanthal from Vandy Vape on an impulse test purchase from my local vape store. .6ish ohms, 16 watts. It has lasted me 4+ tanks with no diminished flavor or blackening of my coil - it looks the same as it did...

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    After watching my my mesh tank drink a 120ml bottle in about a week, I decided to come back to my MTL tanks to see if I could save some juice. Lol. I wonder if the way I was hitting these was causing it to burn up? How are you supposed to hit a MTL vape? I wasn’t using any sucking force of my...

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    I tried the Kylin Mesh... I love it. I get that sweet full body vapor that I’ve been missing. I really didn’t think I’d like DL, but halfway closed airflow isn’t so bad. I still prefer MTL I just wish I got this same flavor

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    Damn man, must be nice lol. I’m still having to change multiple times a day. Take a look at my process. I think the pictures got out of order somehow but you can see me starting from a tight 7 wrap 28gauge, and ending up with a decently spaced .74 ohm coil. This particular time I used cotton...

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    I was a 2 pack a day smoker before I left for basic training. At tech school my buddy got me hooked on vaping mint juul pods that he would sneak to class in his sock lol Nowadays, I don’t do it for the nic - I do it for the flavor, not to mention the ritual itself is a pretty good stress...

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    With different wicking I am able to get longer times between changes so I think that’s my problem. I also tightened up my coils and am more careful to get them uniform. Now, another issue I have is freebase vs nic salts lol. Am I able to vape them at the same wattage and get similar results if...

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    Eh, wire is so cheap I don’t mind buying a spool. Plus, if it works, then I’d probably spend some time wrapping 20+ coils for my stash lol. AFAIK (from Amazon reviews) Temco titanium surgical grade 1 resistance wire is TC vapable only (dry burn a very dull red in a dark room to prevent titanium...

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    Would you recommend contact Kanthal over the spaced 27 gauge SS316L? If so, what gauge?

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    The Ares 2 comes with a screw type coiling rod, but they suggest tightening up the spacing afterwards, so I assume it’s perfectly okay.

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    Thank you, that makes sense. I’ll give spacing from the center out a try. I do think I get uneven strain on my coils because some turns will be perfectly vertical, and others will be more angled. Until today, I never really tried to fix it (I usually pulled it apart and made them all angled). I...

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    I do tend to chain vape occasionally lol, but not long pulls, rarely over 3 seconds with maybe 5 seconds in between hits. I’m always scared the coil will get too hot. Today I built a 2.5ID 30 gauge coil at about 12:00 my time. It’s currently 6 and I haven’t replaced the coil yet. (Almost 2 full...

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    Yes I was actually looking at a couple RDA/RDTA’s when I was focusing on flavor, but I don’t think a new atomizer will solve my current problem. I’ll have to figure out how to get a good vape on it first and then likely have this same problem. It happens on my MD, Ares 2, and Pioneer lol. But I...

    Getting appropriate diameter of Rayon?

    No, yeah, I use a drill. But once I take it out of the drill and try to wrap it, it won’t maintain its shape. So if I wrap it around a 2.5mm coil jig, once I release the pressure, the legs move in opposite directions and the coil expands to a larger ID

    About a month and a half now :/ lol

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    I just don’t understand how even the sweetest juices could destroy my coil within 2ml. The absolute sweetest juice I have I used to use in my novo 2 for at least 2 days of 4-5 refills a day so like 20ml on a bad pod... Those are also mesh, though... It’s super confusing and makes me feel like...

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    Just to clarify I am running 28 ga 1.04ohms right now at 20 watts not 9

    Max flavor out of MTL RTA?

    yeah I had planned on ordering the 30/32 from Temco on Amazon as it was only a couple dollars more, but I was getting the same results with the claptons so I figured it wasn’t the brand of wire. For < $10 I might as well give 27 a shot lol, pretty much exhausting all my options
