Evolution of a vape (sort of)

[GeorgeS]

@GeorgeS, have you heard anything about the Atmizoo Creek rda?

While there is ALOT that goes on in the vaping world that I'm not aware of, I'm very unclear what this RDA (rebuildable dripping atomizer) has anything to do with vaping unflavored 50mg salts.

(which is what my story was about)

For my squankers, I've settled on Hadaly clones from FT. Cheap, easy to build on (BF pin included) flat deck and good flavor in small package/chamber.

So in keeping with the evolution (and hitting my stash) I reassembled the eLeaf iSick40 with a different tank and atomizer:

I'm sure there are those around that still remember the Aspire Atlantis. In this case it is a cheap china clone with a equally cheap china 1.0ohm ceramic coil.

While it takes over 2x the wattage (30W) to get a decent vape out of it, you CAN get a decent vape out of it. (so much for battery life)

My guess is that the oldies but goodies I have in the stash tell of when I started building it. <g>

While the above setup won't give me the battery life of my Dicodes 21700 or the TC goodness of it, it is a decent vape and can be opened up to be more 'airly' then the Lemo2. And while the battery life at 30W and meger 2ml juice capacity is nothing I'd tolerate as a all day vape, I can see this setup riding in the car with me on errands and such.

Nice, I never bought a 40W istick.

FT still sells RBAs for the Atlantis but it does have it's issues. But if you read through the forum threads for that RBA as well as the reviews, they can be overcome. For the price, it's not a bad purchase for someone who uses an Atlantis and wants to make it a rebuildable tank. It's not the easiest RBA to mount coils on, though. Still doable for an Atlantis user. Even comes in a 5-pack.

Indeed, the FT RBA is cheap and well - cheap. (I have 10 of them) They are fairly easy to build on, surely much easier than the Nautilus RBA! I do have some that were created by another company (hand full) that don't have the issues that the FT ones have however for this use I think I'll stick with the ceramic atomizer. (I have a dozen or more of the 1ohm ones and 2 dozen of the Ni ones) A quick check of Fasttech you can still buy the 1ohm ones.

While a better hit then the Nautilus (I have 1/2 dozen of each) and surely useful in a pinch I can see why neather are in my rotation: low juice capacity and bottom fill.

I do have a authentic Atlantis "Mega" (30mm) that lives on my dual 26650 mod outfitted with a Ni ceramic coil. With lightly flavored Blackberry juice (clear) I run through it, the atomizer has lasted years so far.

However I think I'll toss/recycle the weaker gear I have as unsatisfying in this day and age of vaping. I really started stocking to early.

IDK. You just never know.

(The words of a true hoarder.)

You just never know when you might be out and about on a short errand and wish you like had it to hand.

I'm sort of glad I did not have as much time to stock most of mine is usable.

With that said, in 10 years, I could be the person posting a picture like that.....

Which is why with the unpredictable nature of life you should never toss anything.

Or.... when you get fed up.... EVERYTHING. I am so glad my husband rescued my best hiking and work shoes from the discard pile the last time we moved, they were probably the shoes LEAST deserving of being tossed.
