Same here, worst atty I posses, tried super low sub ohm and .6 and it all sucks... Even for cloud chasing I drilled out the 3 holes to the max and even that sucked so I made it into a cyclops eye and that sucked too... Even my igo w ....ing beats that one... Totally regret the purchase. Mine is from tobeco as far as I remember. I be put the coils as close as possible to the air holes (nothing) tried all kinds of builds and that's a POS.
Funny thing is I bought this and magma together lol. Magma kicks ... (infinite clone) I just hate the leaking aspect of it. Wish they made the holes under the coils sloped so the juice doesn't drip into them from dripping on top of it... Ach well

Yeah, I have an old Igo-L and even it has better flavor than the TOBH. I was just really disappointed by the flavor, if it was at least on par with other rda's I'd be pretty happy but it's just worlds below.

Well...I have an Infinite Tobh clone. No sharp fins. After tweaking my builds it is as tasty as any of my other RDAs, not including my Magma, of course. My Atomic and Trident have a brighter flavor but the Tobh is fine. Definitely much better than the Nimbus and IGO's. Its also pretty solid. I run it single or dual, anywhere from. 5 to 1.2. But...although I get great vapor from my builds, I am purely a flavor chaser.

I'm not doing anything wrong, it's just the way it is.

I owned a Yaeliq RDA (arguably one of the most flavorful vapes you can have), still have a Quasar and they cannot be compared. I'm definitely getting a Magma next though as that seems 100% right up my alley, flava flava flava, don't really care about blowing chunks of cloud unless that's giving me loads of flavor.

How did you tweak your builds? Just wondering because if I can at least get some decent flavor out of it I might keep it. That's really the only thing I don't like about this RDA, everything else is wonderful imo.

What diameter coils are you using? How tight is your wick? How much wick are you using? Do you swallow the coil in cotton? What resistance and what guage wire? Close to the posts...a gap from the posts....?


They're just simple micros coils that I wrapped around a precision screwdriver (not sure of the diameter but it's fairly good size). I use just enough wick to be able to thread through the coils, there aren't any "shoulders" on either side of the coil. I was using 28g kanthal and the build I had came out to around .6 with both coils having a small gap from the posts. I build pretty much all my rda's the same way, I don't really mess with any of those complicated builds lol.

yes meaning compared to a KF, is the flavor comparable? better/worse?

I used a kayfun 3.1 clone for awhile and the flavor was awesome, the TOBH doesn't even compare at all...it just has really weak flavor compared to everything that I've used. Idk, it may just be my build, others say the TOBH has a decent flavor but so far for me, it's severely lacking in the flavor department.

Well...jeez..sounds good. Did you try playing around with the factors I mentioned?

I might try positioning my coils a little bit to the left, because it seemed as though the air might have been coming through at at angle (although I wouldn't think it would've made that much of a difference). I'll probably tinker with it a bit before I decide if I want to get rid of it. I just find it crazy, even though the chamber isn't extremely small I thought the flavor would be pretty decent, it bums me out lol.

well I will find out tomorrow lol when mine arrive.. magma will be my next buy but probably not for a few weeks.. I'm waiting on some of the Rayon Cellucotton so i'm wondering if that will make the flavor better - hearing good things about it.

Who knows, you might like it lol, opinions seemed pretty mixed from what I've seen. I've also been hearing about rayon cotton, idk if it's really any better than organic cotton though since I haven't tried it.

apparently it reduces the gunk build up on the cotton itself so it will last a lot longer.. which is a huge sell for me since all I really use is custard and it gunks up pretty quick in my kayfun.

Ill have it next week, I'll post with my thoughts after..

cellucotton 44043 and 44060 is pure rayon fiber. It wicks almost too well and challenges the best gunker juices to get down an dirty.

I have about a 20 year supply of the stuff and like it alot. Only thing I dont like is that it will wick your wells dry and does not give you much warning when you need to re-drip (especially at sub ohms). When I would get dry hits it would rip up my throat. You just need to pay attention to the vapor production. For me it brings out flavors in my juices that cotton doesn't (most good, some bad).

I have 2 tobh's and like them both with cellucotton better than organic cotton. Some of my other devices I prefer cotton over the rayon though. Wierd!!!

Thats awesome man, looks like I made a good buy then.. 500ft should last me quite a long time lol..

I'm very excited to try it.. the organic cotton balls just gunk up way too quick for me with the custards.. have to rewick after every tank or before I finish whats in the KF and its a tad annoying.

ya, custards can be especially nasty on coils. I alternate some Virus, custards last stand and creme brule through my cullucoton builds and they will turd up my cotton wicks. They still gunk a tiny bit with the rayon but no where near it does with cotton.
