Divo RBA

[sbmqcy]

Received my Divo yesterday and have some initial thoughts to share.

I don't remember where there was a question about the center posts on these--on mine, the juice hole is through-and-through, so juice flows out both sides. The hole is pretty high, so I'm not sure that there is much drainage going on.

I drilled the airhole out to 1/16th today. Don't know the stock airhole dimension, but I like the sub-ohm lung hits, so I opened it up. Wasn't too tough following the directions to keep the drill speed slow.

Draw still seems somewhat tighter than I'd expect. The airhole is pretty low too--I lined the coil up with the post holes and the airhole is well below the level of the coil.

Flavor, vapor, and th is all good. Better than RM2? I'm not sure if it is. If so, it's not vastly different. But the flavor is definitely sharper out of the Divo. That might be because of the coil position. I'll do my next one lower and also try shorter tails on the wick.

Before you say it--Pics to follow.

I was just looking at that today and wondering if it's worth the price? How close is that hole to the deck?

Looks like another one with cyclone/era/igo-s guts and a different top cap.

Looks like you are vaping poo!

Not the greatest pic, but when it's on, it sits a bit lower than this.

I saw on another thread you quoting the price at 70. I got mine here http://indyvaporshop.com/divo-rba.html for 54+shipping.

As I'm using it more, I'm getting more used to finding the sweet spot with the hole placement. The rm2 was my first and only rebuildable, so I wasn't used to the press-fits where you have to adjust the hole placement vs the coil as opposed to just mounting the coil in the right spot. Especially with a SxD style tilt to the coil, you can move around the airhole to tailor the vape to some degree.

All of which is a long winded way to say that I'm becoming torn over the value proposition. Ooh, Phillips head screws, ceramic base, and wider post spread (bit easier to rebuild). Otoh, fuller flavor, bit more vapor, and stainless construction. It really isn't a mind-blowing difference. Certainly not enough to recommend skipping the rm2. Esp for a newbie, the ease of coiling makes a difference, especially if you're doing larger coils. But for a more experienced vaper, it's certainly a viable alternative if the stainless is a + for you or if you just like the aesthetics better.

Thank for the answers, I might get one. The bottom feed option adds $5 to that price, then shipping so I rounded up to $70.

 

[sbmqcy]

You're right. I forgot about that part. So, $20 more than rm2?

I dunno, it's definitely growing on me

Hey Filthy if you end up picking one up, let us know if your AFC cap will fit on the DIVO base will ya? Thanks!

LMAO, That's exactly what I was wondering. I was also wondering if it would Fit Rob's Igo-S

Yes the innards look identical to cyclone - it reminds me of the hornet. I'll bet the caps are interchangeable between all these style RBAs.

 

[turbocad6]

nope, I have the divo and the cyclone and the cyclone base is slightly larger. caps are not interchangeable. the divo is also a bit smaller chamber than the divo. I use divo for single coils and cyclone for duals. if you like single coils then the divo should be a little better in the flavor department than the cyclone which really excels with duals to me...

^ sounds like it's very close to the hornet (even looks like one). The hornet was slightly smaller than ERA.

My biggest gripe about the hornet was that it heated up when chain vaping. I never would have noticed until I started running a different RBA that didn't heat up. When they heat up, the vape changes - for the lame.

 

[turbocad6]

yeah, I noticed mine heats up a bit too, but haven't noticed it changing the vape much when it does...

I was going to say the same thing! Looks almost exactly like my Hornet! I use my Hornet on my older Woodvil Mini as it's the only RBA that will work on it. Not sure if the Igo-s will fit an older mini? Guess that's a question for Rob. I can use a RM2 with my older mini woodvil but have to use a 510/510 adapter to make it work even though it was milled and works on my metal mini just great! If the Igo-s fits on my mini woodvil I think I would go for it vs. $20 more for the Diva! Can't see what's that much difference and being more expensive?

Rudy, the viscious ant products are pretty high quality units IMO. they are worth the cost. They hold their resale pretty well too.

I've never had an IGO but I'm sure that one day I will so until then I can't comment on the quality vs the viscious ant stuff.

Also I like the concave decks on the viscious ant products.
