Coppervape's Skyline Clone

[benley73]

My skyline arrived yesterday , im vaping a 1.5 ohm build @14 watts . The build im doing is 28ga kanthal @ 2.5mm .

alltough inlike the tank , its gurgling (bubbling) when i start inhaling . If im not inhaling strong it doesnt do that . Whats the reason behind that ? Do inhave a defective unit ?

I rebuild that coil 3 times , allways with gurgling , one time it was suddenly leaking . Im using cotton bacon v2 and im sure im using enoguh cotton (didnt "fluff" the ends , it sitted flush inside the coil )

Anyone has a tipp?

Make sure you wick tails are not overhanging the air intake under coil theres only a tiny space to slot cotton in for juice inlets , if its over the Airdisk or inlet the juice will wick down into base an leak , using a slightly spaced build can help cracking am spitting to but does sound like you need to fine tune a little more ,

I had that same problem a couple of pages ago. It was solved for me by 1) only filling until the top of the glass (bottom of fill holes) and 2) opening the JFC for the first time after filling with the tank upside down.

Lately I have dared to skip #2, just opening the JFC after filling a little bit at a time while vaping it. So far so good.

I have also experienced some liquid getting down into the base after having it in a bag while out and about. Today I noticed that indeed there was some cotton very close to the air channel under the coil, so I moved that out of the way and we'll see how it goes.

I would check that you don't have a missing or damaged o-ring somewhere warfare.

Getting these tomorrow Aspire Cleito 5ml Fat Boy Glass Tube $3.00 but hope that after waiting for another 2-3 weeks for my FT order to arrive with my SkyLine that I don't misplace them. If the SkyLine and the Fat Boys work out, I'll be stocking up.

Something isn't sealing properly and not allowing the vacuum to stay in the tank. That slight vacuum is the only thing keeping the juice inside the tank.

So if any one has an extremely tight jfc , theres a few extra orings and a smaller one , that fits just under JFC , it makes it a lot easier to use, my 1st one is great 2nd one was stiff as hell even lubed up with juice, after swapped it out , its all good makes a good seal and improves with ease Jfc control ,

Thanks for the tip. I replaced the outer o-ring on the JFC knob with one from the spare parts bag, works great now! I used to have to loosen the top ring a bit to be able to turn the JFC with the stock o-ring. I am using a 2.5mm SS coil on my Q Class with Naked All Melon... vapes great.

Its diffrent seen many Germany Reviews about this months ago so picked one up back using it again , and its a great MTL- restricted vape even with the Airflow plugs removed its still pretty restriced airflow ,
Unusual build an wicking , usual wicking strips to feed the coil , but i used cotton to hood effect , can fit a mesh coil in these too , great Flavourful vapes either way ,

Well Coppervape no longer has the only one.

$19.90 SXK Skyline Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 4ml / 316 stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Hmmm, looks EXACTLY the same, even the accessories, I BET that both companies (Coppervape and SXK, if SXK really is a company) buy from the same OEM manfacturer and "relabel", it´s probably build in the same factory... and I still think besides tasting great this tank has a major pressure problem. Almost impossible to refill and reopen JFC without major leaking, even when hold upside down...

I've had a lot of atomisers from both companies. Both are capable of the same quality, but in my experience Coppervape hit the mark more often - not 100% though.

I think the most telling example was the Rose 3. I had a Coppervape and an authentic for a while. The Coppervape was so close. They were the only one of cloners to cope the spring wire AFC

If I'm not mistaken I remember that one of the clones actually improved upon the design of the AFC by using an o-ring instead of that stupid spring.

Depends on your point of view. Coppervape cloned it 1:1 - SJMY, SXK used an o-ring. I didn't have a problem with it. Upgraded to stiffer wire from Eden mods. From an engineering point of view I thought it was superior to an o-ring that would wear.

Obviously Coppervape is the truer clone and from what I hear they are generally the best nowadays; my Skyline is a good indication. I'm not advocating which one is better. I just found it interesting that a clone, in my opinion, improved upon the design of the original and I don't think this is the first time.

P.S. - In my 7 years in vaping I've never had an o-ring fail me where it wasn't my fault, i.e. neglected to lubricate it.

 

[Domejunky]

I take your point. I think the SXK Kayfun 5 Mini is a good example of improvement. I don't have one, and had assumed they were just a smaller tank. I watched a build video and realised they'd shrunk the deck, chimney, top cap.

I've had loads of o-rings fail on me. Particularly in areas of high use. I used to love the Magma for having none - had other issues though

I too have had some of those issues. It frustrates me, because this tank has all the bells and whistles, build quality is outstanding and the vape is great.

I have wondered what the o-ring on the inner shaft is for. The one on the piece that moves up or down as you adjust the JFC. What would happen if I took it off?

Got my bubble tanks today from Sweet-vapes. Fits perfectly. Filled it with a syringe. Got 5.5ml into the tank. Absolutely amazing!!! Great find @benley73
