Hey!

[Vaponatic]

New member here, getting back into the scene after a long hiatus with pod systems. It's so good to be back

Current setups:
- mod's House Ryzr80 w/ Ghost RBTA
- DDP Squonker w/ Nitrous 22 rda

On the lookout for a new combo though... Perhaps a MTL RTA and single 18650 mod. Any suggestions?

Hi
What material do you use for the coils, and do you use simple wires or clapton coils?
On average, how many ohms do your coils have?
What cotton do you use, and what VG/PG percentages?
Since there are two different systems (Squonk +RBA and RBTA),
which one do you prefer in terms of flavor?
Thank you.

That’s the problem with pods. Eventually they stop making them. if there were standards there wouldn’t be an issue, but afaik 510 is still the only one.

I've mostly been running single Ni80 clapton coils (pre-built) so far, at around 0.3-0.5ohms with 70vg/30pg, but I do appreciate simple roundwire builds and will be buying some reels in future. I'm still exploring cotton choices though, and have just been using an old pack of Cotton Bacon Prime. If you have any suggestions then I'm all ears!

Regarding mod choice, I'm mainly on a Boro/RBA for daily use, although I prefer squonking overall due to the extra flavour RDAs provide.

It wasn't necessarily an issue with availability. The XROS series served me well, and still occasionally does. I missed the hobbyist side of vaping though, and a fresh rewick on an RDA can't be beaten!

I have three RTA's that still operate just fine. When I re-wick 'em, they're finer! Finer than frog hair I'd say.

Some more trivia:
Do you use Ni 80 with TC or without TC?
How come you use this specific wire,?
Have you tried other wires (like Kanthal A1) either in clapton or single strand?
Why do you use such a high percentage of VG?
I have always vaped at 50/50, but reading the various forums I think
I will switch to more PG and less VG and vape with 55% PG or 60% PG.

It's past the time of super clouds, such tournaments
haven't been seen in years and so sacrificing the aroma
for useless clouds, for me (I repeat for me) doesn't make much sense.
Even several vapers I've been dealing with lately,
have switched to 65 percent PG.
