Anyone remember the 528 Monster v2? Tips/tricks?

[chandco]

So, I just got the Monster v2 clone. Which I got partly because it has kayfun-esque origins, but mostly because I'm in love with any bell cap I see, ever. And it was ten bucks.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks that could be useful? There are a few videos that show me how to do a build on it, but that's about it.

Thanks SO much, this forum has been an excellent resource, and I've only been on a few days.

You may want to take a look at fasttech. They still have a number of kayfun Monster clones. The V3 clone is basically the same as the V2 since the center airflow is identical. I have never seen a glass bell cap. Not sure that they exist. Not much to setting these up. Max 3mm coil but works best with 2.5mm.

Looked it up, glass bell caps do exist, mainly as a separate part for an atty. Kidney Puncher has one for the a Subtank Mini, and there's a site that specializes in them. That's probably the way to go.

2.5-3mm? Awesome, thanks.

What resistance and wattage do you find works well in it?

And how's the flavor?

Resistance and wattage are subjective things. I started with 1.5ohm coils and am now down to .8ohm. I tend to set everything to 4volts so for .8 I use 20 watts. Kayfuns have always had good flavor. It is why they have lasted this long even with all the new gear around. You are going to need a needle nose bottle to fill it. Something like this.

If you do end up liking the Monster, you can try this one from FT. Can't go wrong for the price. Pretty tall but holds a full 5ml. I have a few of these and am quite happy with them.

Thanks for the approximate settings. I'll definitely be testing it out, but it's good to have a starting place. I'm used to about 50-60W, but starting there didn't seem right.

That v3 clone looks awesome. I love mine so far, looking at it at least. My first clone, and the quality is awesome. It has the logo on the drip tip and center thingy (chimney?), which looks fantastic with the bell cap.

The batteries for my ohm reader come tomorrow, then I can finally start building.
