Hello Beautiful: Petri RTA by Dotmod

[Chodi]

The build on my 24mm clone is a bit more complicated than you describe your 22mm. That is because the two slots in the chamber that are supposed to lock the deck from rotating don't lock well enough unless I remove the 510 altogether and take the build deck from the end cap. Then place the deck in and make certain it is locked in place before re-inserting the end cap and the 510 pin. That many just be a quirk of this clone I can't say.

Since using the cotton ball method I described above I have not had any leaking even after several refills. No dry hits and only the slightest spitback right after some of the refills. The spitback when it happens only after refill goes away quickly. I have used your method of turning upside down to create a vacuum with my uwell Crown tanks and it is very effective. Since using the cotton method I described I have not had the need to do that to this dotmod clone. I have zero leaking once I figured out how to wick this thing.

If you are adventurous you can try removing the trap in your sink (the round section of pipe under the sink). It is very possible you will find the missing part in there. Also cleaning a plated part is not really necessary. The plating process takes care of that.

Almost a year later and I can finally get this thread back on track. I now have the Authentic versions of the 22mm and the 24mm. There was some confusion as to the actual diameter of this RTA, since the clones came in both 22 and 24mm. I am not sure if Dotmod actually released a 24mm early on.
As I toyed with my Kindbright Gunmetal 22mm clone (and stashed my 24mm Gold clone after dropping the terminal in the sink), I kept searching for a good deal on the Auth. Eventually, I found Puff Puff Vape had a few 22s left for $54. Finally got my hands on the real thing. Wouldn't you know, there really was no difference between the clone and the auth. Even the threads were well machined on the clone. When I get some time I'll have to throw up some pics comparing the 22mm clone to the authentic.
The real reason I am happy to post on here again is that I got the 24mm from Dotmod after their price reduction and the release of the dot24 single post RDA (picked one of those up too, of course). They improved the deck!! No more loosening of the 510 Pin I got used to it after a bit but it's great not having to worry about it. I'm sorry I don't have my build picks as I was just ready to build and vape last night. Here she is though:

I've got a twisted flats build (.8mm Ka1 twisted with .4mm SS then twisted with .5mm N80 - All Ribbon wire or x .1mm) in there and it is a beautiful vape at .28.

I'll try to pic the breakdown tonight as well as the clone vs auth. 22mm

It's a good rta with excellent flavor the only problem I have with it is the small drip tip often the top cap becomes hot and burns my lips

 

[dansus]

Is it an 810 tip?

Nope it's a proprietary screw on delrin -they give you an ultem one as well

I get a similar result on occasion...
