Gus ESTIA : Unleash the Power√

[suspectK]

I just realized that it would be easy to get a piece of glass or polypropylene to fit the estia. Anyone try this?

Yes sure, like the Aqua and K'funs! Unfortunately Gus will not be making a/ny Acrylic or Pyrex tanks, thus we'll've to rely on aftermarket products.

Thanks again Qorax, for the excellent tutorial.

Running good and hot with 3 coils at .6 ohms all 12 wrap 28 gauge on 2.38 mm (3/32). Using KGD cotton. I had a wicking issue until I went over Qorax's notes and tuck the wick ends in the juice channels.

Qorax,
Can fluff be used around the bell chamber? Similar to the GP Heron.

^Fantastic build there, eh Bill√ Well done bro! And congrats on your Estia~Lord purchase, awesome stunner device it is isn't it?

Unfortunately 'No', you cannot use 'fluff' in this RBA. It's not made for that system - and will have wicking issues if you attempt to. It is like the Aqua - but made for tri-coils ~ and they bottom feed like the K'funs. Unlike the Spheroid / Heron, which top feed. In K'fun, Aqua, Estia, Elkonigin etc type of devices the juice should always be available at the 'floor'.

Thanks again, Qorax. This is quite the stunner. Like you said earlier, it takes some time getting used to the build. I really like it.

The top half is confusing the hell out of me.... can someone please explain this?

 

[VapinBill]

Buzz. If you are referring to the Estia RDA in Lord finish, it's setup in hybrid mode to the Lord retractable battery holder. The original top cap is removed.

 

[BuzzKilla]

it's just weird to me......

because mine looks soooo different...(aside from fatty tank)

Estia base & top cap!

 

[suspectK]

You got the brass accent.

 

[BuzzKilla]

okay.... let me be more specific....

The base on my estia seems to be one-third of the size... (little brass ring v.s. large polished band)

and the there is no juice control, it's just a nice polished cap. ( i really like it actually)


looks like a carto tank with a lord sleeve ....

That's b'coz it is not an Estia in Bill's picture Imho. It is a Heron with Lord Estia sleeve What say Bill?

 

[BuzzKilla]

very very sneaky!

 

[VapinBill]

Ahhh wrong pic. You are right, Q. When I ordered the Estia, I accidentally ordered the tank alone. I tried it on the Heron and it did fit. I took a photo of it and that is what we are looking at. I emailed Gus and was sent the rest of the RBA.
Here is the pick I intended to show.

Apologies for the mixup.

 

[BuzzKilla]

i was looking at the picture and thinking to myself...
what is this version, and why do i not have access to it.
lol

looks good VapinBill

 

[mattrhdr]

I was just gonna say... thats not an estia thats the heron...

Who's that using my pictures

 

[BuzzKilla]

it was for reference

And i do not appreciate you using my mod as your avatar

 

[qorax]

^ Yep now two are talking

 

[mattrhdr]

KeeKeeKee

Well, I got my Estia with the Lord Fatty tank, but there was a slight mix up. Even though I also ordered the slim Lord tank, they sent the matte finish version. Emails exchanged and Lord version will be sent

My first atty with adjustable air AND juice flow. Tri-coil takes a bit more work than I've done before, but wow - Great piece of gear!
