Dunno mate, there looks to have been no action on their FB pages since January, except to say that Envii have taken over...or something like that. They may have a closed or secret group though??
site is there again so no idea what was going on. Probably my screw up.
Nothing to see here...move along...lol!

Enjoying an extremely well aged Jazzy Boba with Hussar and Vantage. I kind of went off this juice and it's been sitting for a while, I thought it might be no good - but man is it gooood! Check how dark it is LOL

I noticed the hussar can get really hot inside the chamber. even though I'm using TC I get paranoid about that... I think I'm just gonna get one of those reducers and leave the AFC open.
If I bought a high end RTA and it had muted flavor, I would be ......! :)
Never had muted flavor from any of the high end rta's that I've tried lately, had a whole heap of other problems with them though.

Always the same, SS 430 round wire 28g ~.8 ohms... ofc it's fine if I leave the AFC open, which I've been doing. I think there's just not a lot of space in the chamber and a whole bunch of thick metal.

Its always been like that, but I'm not concerned about it... if something was really wrong my TC would be all janked up & would most likely drop me out, happens all the time if I'm using a clapton that I didn't work out a short or didn't tightening down a lead enough or something

Thought it was a plasmair kayfun first up but rooted around and saw it is a kennedy 24mm dripper with a plasma tank!! Cool!!!

It's just a clone, but a very well done one at a fraction of the price.

But once I went with glass tops, I have trouble using much of anything else, the difference is fairly huge.

After more than 1 month of waiting I received discount code for Byvape, and now finally Spica RTA is in my hands.

I gave her a warm bath and a scrub before I coiled her with a spaced coil (0.75ohm) 3mm ID 28gauge SS316L. Prior to coiling I removed the 2mm restrictor because I want to see how she vapes fully open. Fully open Spica is more restricted than Taifun GT3 or Rose. I usually vape GT3 on 2 holes (both sides) and Rose on 1 hole (both sides). Fully open Spica feels like this. When I close her more than half there is a faint whistle I don't like. Fully open is the way I like her, but with 5 restrictors that came in the goody bag it's probably possible to tune this tank to a really tight MTL. Smallest restrictor is 0.5mm, then 0.75mm, 0.1mm, 1,5mm and 2mm.

Build deck is small and I will never install build with more than 8 spaced wraps. Screws are great and really clamp down the wire. They took this design from Kayfun 5. Lately I'm always building twisted coils and in couple of days Spica will also get a nice twisted 28gauge 2,5mmID like I have in GT3 and it wapes superbly.

JFC is a mix of Taifun GT3 and Kayfun 5. Easy to use and it works great. Feed holes are big. Filling holes are OK, but I would prefer the design of GT3 where I pore my juice directly from the bottle without using pipette.

Build quality is superb. Everything is really smooth, tight and fits perfectly. Even drip tips are tight and need lubrication before being inserted.

I just returned from a long trip and I didn't have time to really spent time with Spica. But with this build I can say throat hit is great. For now flavor is not as rich as with Rose or GT3, but with thicker twisted coil it will surely get better and warmer.

I wouldn't bet my life on it, but I'm fairly certain that's a male Spica. :blink:

Spica is the brightest light in the constellation Virgo the Maiden. In my native Slavic language stars and virgins are female.

In English I should use "it", but I feel more relaxed talking about giving HER a nice warm bath and a scrub instead of HIM or IT. :D

Hard to argue with that!!! :)
