Cyclone RDA Top Feed

[Xobeloot]

You can still top-feed the bottom-feed cyclone, just take it off and make sure you clean off your positive post frequently. You will get a bit of leak down to your positive. If you ever get a bottom-feeder mod like the Reo or Bogger, you've already got a nice rda for it.

I guess I just do not understand the difference in the two, a physical difference? they are both drippers aren't they? it fits on all my devices just fine but I do not have a reo style mod. I guess I don't know how, you could use it for anything but dripping?

Top feed is generally used for dripping and the bottom feed is generally used on REO style mods..

It looks like you usually saturate your wick, before you put the cap on anyway right?

the bottom feed has a hole that leads from the 510 thread into the positive post. You mount your coil in the top hole of the positive post, and is meant so that when you squeeze the juice bottle on a bottom-feeder, the juice travels up the positive post into the dripper.

The top-fed does not have the hole in the bottom and only has one hole to mount your coil in the positive. It can only be used for top-side dripping.

The bottom feed version has an extra hole in the post..

Juice could drip / get into that hole and cause problems with the positive post.. If you are going to drip it like a top feed just do as Xobeloot said and clean the positive post often..

 

[kas122461]

Ok I get it, I did see that 2nd hole you are talking about, so that extra Hole in the post, is the only difference?

As far as I know that is the only difference..

You can drip the bottom feed just check and clean the pos post often and all will be fine..

 

[Xobeloot]

yep. Only difference. And you're all set if you order a bottom-feeder mod

 

[kas122461]

I don't know why, but I think it was easier building coils, for my pro-tank, than this thing, I got a coil to work though, I think if I can master building coils for this, I can build them for anything. I am quite the rookie at building coils.

 

[raqball]

Are you using Silica or Cotton?

 

[kas122461]

I have been using silica for now because I have it handy, I will try the cotton, its just I have some 3mm, on hand and the silica that came with it. I just have to practice a bit, I have some 32 gauge RA kanthal, I don't know what the wire is that came with it, I think I need some smaller gauge wire, and try the micro coil thing.

 

[raqball]

I wrap mine on a thin toothpick then just slide the toothpick out after it's wrapped and the coils are spaced out correctly..

It helps with getting the wraps close and even if you have something sturdy..

You could also use a blunt syringe, a thin nail, or a screw..

Good luck!

 

[Xobeloot]

I do all my wraps on a 1/16" drill bit. If you are using 3mm silica, that would be a 1/8" drill bit. :cheers:

 

[kas122461]

I have a piece of ss 1/16" tig wire I used on the last one, I have also used a small needle, and I use a set of hemostats to hold it while making the coil. I also rigged up a magnifying glass on a stand, so I can see what I am doing. I haven't tried the screw method yet, but I can see how that would make it easier, to keep the spacing the same. I am just not sure how many raps to use on 1/16" inside dia. using 32 ga. kanthal. I am using a provari to use this thing, I guess I want a coil at about 1.5 to 2.0 ohm coil. I am not sure about trying sub-ohm yet.

I may try the 1/8" next might make it easier to get my ohms where I want them.

 

[Xobeloot]

Can't help ya on that one. I only have 32g Nichrome which is less resist than Kanthal. Only suggestion I can make is to do more wraps than you need, then if you need to lower it, just stick the bit back in and back it off one wrap at a time.

I prefer my VV coils around 2.5-3 so I can crank em up for instant response and a nice warm vape.

Try a 5/4 wrap.. It should get you about 1.5-1.7'ish

Check it on the ProVari and adjust from there..

Thanks guys

 

[killua086]

finally got my perfect coil 1.3ohm for my EVIC.. 9 wraps 0.29mm kanthal (double wrap on middle), directly wrapped on to the wick without using any drillbit etc coz i dont have any lol

 

[Xobeloot]

Interesting with the double wrap on the middle. Looks to be cooking nice and hot like it is supposed to! Well done.

FWIW, I got some of the 4mm dia phillips head scews & it changed the draw of my cyclone to the point that I went back to the allen head set screws. Strange.
