Bought my first RBA atomizer

[Royaldrunker]

Well I finally broke down and bought an original Phoenix and an hh357.
The 357 rocks well worth the 24 bucks inmo.

I noticed right off the bat with the Phoenix I was getting a horrible burn taste constantly, probably due to the factory tight wraps and thin wick material.

So this morning I wrapped my first coil, after watching a quick you tube and all in all took around 5 mins..

Wow what a great tastey vape and vapor..

Came out at 2.2 ohm. Is this pretty standard with the Phoenix as I don't think I could put more than 5 wraps on..

Out of curiousity, what gauge wire are you using? And which PV?

 

[damthisisfun]

Did u get the XL or the original Phoenix? How much juice does it hold?

I love the Phoenix rba also. It's the only dripping atty I use now. There is a thread here on building a vertical wick and coil, it gives you a little more room to work with. I haven't tried more than 5 wraps, but a vertical coil with cotton, cheesecloth, or stainless steel gives a great vape!

I picked up the xl non nockoff

Im using 32 awg wire

Consistant nice flavour and vape no burn taste for the past 6 hours

It holds around 20-30 drops and i can easily vape it for an hour no fill..

$29 well worth the price

Ya im definately going to try vertical with cotton and i read you just pull the cotton out and slide the new in without redoing the coils..

does anyone know what the "HEBEL" rba truly is? I know its not really "The Hebel" lol.

wow an hour with no fill, where did you order from royal, just wonderin'

East side vape on vancouver

nice i'm glad your enjoying it. it only took you one time to rebuild it correctly? shoot, it took me around 4 times I think. I still have all the coils I messed up. lol. your using fiberglass or stainless steel wick?

 

[Royaldrunker]

Ya i was quite proud of myself, lucky first timer but im good at tinkering.

Fiberglass at the moment but will switch to cotton or hemp. Not to keen on mesh as i heard it may be releasing a byproduct, still investigating

 

[Plumes.91]

I don't think so but do as you wish I think your hemp is releasing a byproduct just kidding.
I don't think SS would be releasing a byproduct and I wouldn't be too afraid even if it were.
I grill with the flames coming out of stainless steel, our atomizers are made of steel, hell, the coil is steel

 

[Royaldrunker]

Ya well i hope not there is a topic on this but my local supplier doesnt carry mesh yet.

 

[Plumes.91]

I'd rather vape stainless steel than fiberglass... sheesh. who thought of fiberglass as a good thread that people would potentially be inhaling on occasion??? lol. I've gotten lung fulls of that damn fiberglass wich before and I DONT like it but its probably happened to me over 10 times.. and I heard that getting ONE lung full of a newport cigarette's fiberglass filter was potentially deadly? Here we have thousands of people inhaling burnt fiberglass on a weekly basis with vaping? yikes. I'll take stainless steel over fiber glass anything any day. Yikes.

 

[Royaldrunker]

I think in a couple days when i change this wick out, im going to try the dual coil method and see how it vapes.

Check out OKC Vapes - Oklahoma's Premier Supplier of Electronic Cigarettes, E-Liquid, and Accessories! for mesh. Good prices and he has the 500 mesh as well.

No refill for an hour!!! Man, I can go through a 3ml tank in an hour! OK, not that fast...but that's pretty impressive. I have a couple Phoenix clones that don't do that well...maybe I'm missing sumthin? Course, I haven't bothered to go mesh on those yet...waiting for some supplies.

 

[Royaldrunker]

Ya, well i dont chain vape so maybe its just me i also switch a lot with the 357

 

[damthisisfun]

Where can I get one in the US? Thanks..............

 

[Plumes.91]
