Catfish atty mods.

This is about the CLT. I have a new one i have been bashing my head on for 2 days now trying to get a decent vape from.

I normally use RxW on Atomics, with 26g kanthal wrapped around 2mm, 5 times to get (with duals) about 0.25-8Ω builds. They have been my go to build for ADV for ages now, they are low maintenance and reliable and a great cloud-chasing and flavourful vape.

So i bought the CLT and ran exactly the same build in it on day one. BTW - Chowder naturally did a beautiful job of making it into a BF atty and i WANTED to like it.
But that setup in it is a dog! Dry hits and leaking. So for build #2, i spaced the coils out a bit and lengthened the wicks.

Better, but at lunchtime today, i swapped back to my Atomic to annoy everyone at work (hey it's Friday!).

I've been looking at a lot of reviews and builds for this and whilst i can make a triple parallel dual if i wish, it's bollocks isn't it. So this is what i have. 7/64 drill bit, 3/4 wrap 26g ugly coils on 3mm RxW. It's a big atty and you have to fill it with something.

Now it's approaching the Atomics on vape quality.

Good info ST... What resistance are you getting on that ugly coil?

I've been having similar issues with the Odin.

My current favorite is the IGO-W7 with dual twisted nichrome 80, 3mm ID, 5/6 wrap stuffed with 3mm eckowool. Like you said about yours, it's a big chamber, you have to fill it with something. I get the thickest tastiest clouds outa this thing, it would seem logical I should be able to get the same results with the 3mm RxW.

I'm about to rig up the CLT myself, I'll have to give your build a try. I think our build preferences are similar. Should be good!

My girlfriend has a Reo Mini. It has the catch cup around the 510 connection. What what is the best atty that will fit? I discovered that the AFC Cyclone will not fit.

 

[supertrunker]

RM2. Divo maybe. Igo-s in a pinch. Basically an atty under 14mm.

Same Ω - about 0.28 or so. I just went up in size to the fatter RxW and now it's a decent vape. I made my original post because if you are used to using a short bit of RxW in an Atomic or Odin, then the CLT is going to catch you out like it did me!

It is however, dead easy to build on. And i buy all these atties with AFC and then run them all wide open!

*******update********
Everything paid, most shipped.... Here's the list of stuff I have on the way:

45 va Divos,
15 Reactors,
10 black Odin's,
10 SS Odin's,
20 ss Magma's
3 anima's
10 va center pins
1 bf hornet sample
1 projectile Opps bf sample
Not much.....

As a noob Reo owner I have to ask ( and it's subjective I know), of the above listed attys, which would have the best flavor. I'm not a cloud chaser. Just want to enjoy the vape. I have an RM2 which I really like and is forgiving of a poor coil job. I will get better at coiling. So which one(s) would be best. Thanks,

Toss that RxW n put some rayon in there, I bet that helps quite a bit.

Magma and Odin lead the pack from what i hear.

Not seen a blow-torch Rayon back to life wick yet, but it makes great socks that are lovely and soft!

Divo on my 2.1 mini. It's a perfect fit, although I did end up drilling out the air hole to 1/16". The jury's still out on that though. The 26nic seems to require a lot of air flow.

My girlfriend has a Reo Mini. It has the catch cup around the 510 connection. What what is the best atty that will fit? I discovered that the AFC Cyclone will not fit.

Master of Bassets...and not much else.

 

[Tbev]

Yeah Yeah, we're not gonna agree, how many ml's do you run thru before you dry burn that RxW? I have a couple feet of each size I wanted to love it, but I get muted/goofy flavor with it almost all of the time.

Divo or cyclone with the standard cap...

 

[MotherNatural]

Divo or cyclone with the standard cap...

I second that. Both are great little guys for flavor. I'm running these side by side right now and I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite but probably lean towards the divo. Maybe. It's that close.

Sorry for the OT post here Tom....

I have to wonder when I read things like this. I have been using RxW for about a year now and never once have I had a muted/goofy taste. The only time it seems to be off is when it needs to be cleaned up. I guess that is another plus for the RxW as it lets me know when to do that. I am one of those vaper's that requires my vape to be the least maintenance possible and with a REO, micro coil's, and RxW I have found that. I also think vaping only one particular juice plays a large part in it as well. I recently tried some KGD that Russ had sent me about 10 months ago and after going through a half a pad in less than a week, I am back to RxW now. Two things that stuck out w/ KGD, needed to replace my wicks daily and there was a cotton taste for the first couple ml's that drove me up the wall... Again, I have not had any funky tastes come from RxW from the first vape on a new or freshly dry burned coil... Long story short, you either have been vaping the wrong set-up or the wrong juice with RxW.... That is my opinion and quite a few others have found this to be the case in the last year. Once the right set-up was found the vape was awesome....
