Cthulhu RTA V2 (similar posts to the velocity rda)

[RtotheK]

I have to say eciggity is my favorite spot to order from, I had some problems with clones and they shipped me new parts right away, they did this multiple times. Because of there great customer service they won my business back.

Want to bottom fill your v2? This works perfectly, just tilt it slightly so air can get in the top slot. View attachment 513712

But why? Its so much quicker to top fill it.

 

[stormjib]

actually it's faster to bottom fill it, and if you're already taking the bottom off, it just saves an extra procedure.

The top fill holes are MUCH larger, thus top filling the tank requires half the time, even if you are taking the bottom off.

Your method, is like turning the engine upside down and filling it with oil through the drain hole. Yes it can be done, but its time consuming.

Lemo 1 was designed to be filled through the bottom tiny hole. Yet i can top fill it in 1/10th the time using a 120ml bottles nozzle on my lap while sitting at a red traffic light.

Your method is no way faster do to smaller inlet holes for the juice.

Wait lol....Im not the one to emulate just yet with this Cthulhu V2!.... The coil I built was sound but other than that I am lost as to what could be the specific problem. Basically dry hit city on this thing! I suppose Coil placement or too much Rayon/too thick of tails. That little metal ring above the juice channels that sort of screws down maybe I should take that off. In addition a 4mm coil probably isnt the best place to start, the sheer diameter of the coil could have blocked juice flow I suppose.

Anyway I go to unscrew the deck and the Rayon was burnt to a crisp and just came apart in two pieces.... back to the drawing board probably take a stab at the dual coil setup since others have shared their successful builds with that deck.

But if anyone has a single coil build that would be great of you to share because I have yet to see any single coil builds online for the Cthulhu to get an idea where to put the coil or how to wick so was just guessing. With the wicking also I sort of confused myself I was using Egyptian Cotton the previous week which needs to be rolled and if you roll the Rayon real tight like real cotton I believe your in for dry hits. The rayon you more or less just pull apart what you need if im not mistaken and just smooth it out removing chunks and making sure it flows in one direction. Ive only used Rayon for about a month or so previously had just wicked with Japanese cotton(although the Egyptian is much better than KGD, imo if you want organic natural cotton)

I preorded that triple coil deck from smog a month ago, im bummed but grateful i didn't get taken for as much money as others. I still want it, anyone know where else i can pick one up?

 

[Chris863]

Cool Bob maybe try a spaced coil like that and try to wick as you did hopefully get some better results this time.....

What diameter is the coil your using there in the picture and also gauge/type of wire?

 

[Bigbob2322]

Diameter is 2, 28 gauge Kanthal, Rayon wick.

Thats a Good Look'in Rayon Wick Job, bob. Now that I have a few pictures to go by, all I have to do is do it.

 

[Bigbob2322]

It's a pretty nice tank, good luck with your build 52. If your using thinner juice you may want to use the juice control, my only dislike of this tank is the juice control.

I don't know who is selling them either; got mine free from Cthulhu Mods for posting a review of the V2. I'll keep a watch out for current vendors.

I use 50/50 or even 60/40 PG/VG and KGD. I'm only using the Juice Control for re-fills, Closed to re-fill and Open to vape, no in between. I think the reason it has Never flooded or leaked on me is that I use the Juice Control in that way.

Edit: You mean to run the juice control about half way for Rayon ??

 

[Bigbob2322]

That's what works for me to. I use 50/50 also, some people that use high vg don't even use the juice control .

 

[ojmalik]

For those of you who ordered a cthulhu from smog, it may pay off to be patient. According to his latest updates he is filling cthulhu orders with whatever he had left in stock. I guess someone backed out on a large cthulhu order, hence the reason for the cheap price on BF. it's $25, i'll take the gamble.

Because the tails are thinned out so much and the juice holes are so big you have to do some trial and error on each build.
Start at half then open it up little by little until your happy with the vape.

OK. Thanks for that bob. I'll give it a try.

I remember reading in some of the earlier posts that some just left their juice control out when re-assembling their V2, never tried it myself though. I have a Stainless version that works Beautifully, and a Black one that weeps juice around the juice control o-ring whenever I adjust it, I've checked and everything seems in order, nothing pinched during re-assembly that I can see anyways, but the Black one is pretty new, less than 5 refills since I received it and 52xx on the serial # so it's not one of the problem ones they had in the beginning production phases when they tweaked their machining methods due to QC issues, so I thought I'd give it a bit to see if it settles in and stops weeping juice before changing it out with one of the spare o-rings I got in the package. When I do use Rayon, I'll try it first on my Stainless V2, till I get my Black one all sorted out. Thanks for posting, as I've got this 500' roll of Rayon that needs to be used (I do use it in my Magma's though).

I don't use the juice control ring with the two post deck, I do with the single coil deck. make sure the inner ring is seated all the way if you're getting weeping.

Hey Thanks storm. It's when I open the juice control after I refill that it weeps, when it's closed (like for refills) it seems OK, or are you talking about something else. I checked the o-ring and didn't detect any tears or nicks, and I always lube it when I re-assemble the tank after cleaning, then wipe off the excess. Are you talking about the inner ring being cocked off kilter just a bit when installed inside the outer ring ?

 

[52anddone]

I do notice that the little notch on the inside of the inner ring (that slides over the pin) of the juice control on my Black V2 is not cut up as high (toward the top of the ring) as on my Stainless V2 (but then the inner ring on my stainless V2 has 2 notches cut into it for some reason).
