Augvape intake duel worth the money?

[WrenZ71]

Anyone here using the augvape intake duel? It seems to be one of the easier build decks for a newb from what I can gather.

I’m fairly new to vaping. Currently using a smok fetch pro Getting tired of Killing smok RGC coils. I know smok makes a rebuildable for my fetch pro, but due to the size Doesn't look like fun.So I’m Looking to upgrade to a box mod and try my hand at a RTA.

Hello @WrenZ71, if you're not used to coiling and wicking an RTA it may be an idea to start with a single coil RTA.

As a single coil and wick makes things a bit easier.

And with a postless deck you'll need a coil leg trimming tool like a coily.

But there's also a few mesh options as well, which may be of interest.

They're all big clouds DTL options though.

But what ohm coils have you been using with the Fetch Pro?

Thank you for the reply I’ll check out those option you mentioned.What about running the intake with a single coil build?I don’t mind buying tools that’s all part of it.

With the fetch pro I’ve been using .17 ohm RGC Conical mesh Coils at 40 watts with 6mg freebase.

It's possible, but you'd need a larger ID coil though and to not thin the ends of the wick (tails) too much. Otherwise you'll end up with flooding happening.

But as you have already been using mesh coils, perhaps a mesh RTA is the way to go.

And you don't necessarily need to use the mesh strips that they sell for an individual one, you can use Vandy Vape's Stainless Steel mesh on a spool instead.

Plus all you need then is a decent pair of shears, a tool for forming/bending the mesh to shape, a decent pair of tweezers and a screwdriver or Allen key.

Here you go @WrenZ71, for you to have a look at in your own time.

Also see what the reviewers think of them on YouTube, as you'll also see how they put in the mesh and the wicking as well.

And if you really want a good laugh, check out Vaping with Vic Triade review, goto 20 minutes in and watch.

My main fear with a mesh RTA is a dry hit.Ive heard its pretty bad.Ive also read that most mesh coils are notorious for excellent flavor for a day then puff no flavor.Not sure if RTA’s are that way but that is currently what my smok fetch pro is doing.

Just mainly looking for something easy to build on with some reliability.I may just go with a Subohm tank with factory made coils like the Freemax M pro. I have read there coils generally last 2-3 week.Then later on try a RTA.

I have the Intake single and it's not a easy one to build perfect. The dual seems way easier to get good results.

For me the easiest builds I made so far, on the atomisers I own, was on the Gear Rta.

I prefer single coil atomisers and for a beginner should be the first option.

@WrenZ71, Horizontech Falcon range are supposed to be another good option.

But check to see what coils are most easily available to you.

But mesh RTA's produce massive amounts of vapour compared to a coiled RTA, and if you're attentive to the way that you build them the only way that you'd get a dry hit would be if you run the RTA dry.

Also forgot about steamcrave RDTA's (Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomiser), recently there has been a mesh deck released. They have plenty of different deck options and large capacities available, also RDTA's are a bit easier to work with.

And there's a massive following on the forums as well, so plenty of information available.

Holding a clone in my hand right now if that helps. Fasttech $10.00.

I use single coils. The deck is easy to build with - works for me.

Love the top fill. Find it very forgiven as long as I make 3 mm or large coils. Even went as far as putting an extra small piece of cotton in the bottom of each of the wells when I was getting to much juice in my mouth - still using this method. Only complaint I have is the air flow ring is hard to turn but if you loosen the top slightly it becomes very easy - just don't forget to snug the top down when done.

Thanks for all the reply’s everyone.Im going to throw the RTA on the back burner till this whole covid stuff is over.Finding any mesh rta’s and rebuilding supplies are pretty tough right now.For the time being I’m just going to order a sub ohm tank with Drop in replaceable coils.I do appreciate all the input,Thank you all.

A cheap decent RDA is an option as well for the moment @WrenZ71, you'll have to drip with it but it'll keep you going in these kind of times.

Plus also gets you som experience with building.

Just an idea though.
