Morning buddy,not much to tell.

Browsing to find some sort of guide on how to change the o-rings of my Hellvape Destiny rta,seems to be leaking this morning,just a bit.

Apart from that nothing new:

    Good morning cloud. I haven't tried that rta before so can't be of any help. As far as rtas go, I have stocked up and mostly use geekvape zeus single coil rtas and augvape intake rtas. I did order a druga to try after seeing SP013 review it.

    I did a quick google search on that rta and there are a bunch of people having leaking problems with that rta. The suggestions I saw were to make sure the cotton wick isn't touching the disc and to replace the o ring on the disc. Leaking is a big reason that I went almost exclusively to top airflow rtas like the zeus and intake. No leaking on those. I tried a bunch of different tanks that were bottom airflow and sooner or later most of them end up leaking.

    Crisis averted.

    Odd thing is that i actually own 2 of the Hellvape Destiny RTA's,other one never leaks and the wicking is easy peasy,no even trimming or fluffing,just insert,cut and tuck.

    Black one with the leakage was from the o-ring in the base,one that makes contact with the bubble glass.
    Just took out a new one from the box and changed it,so far so good no leaking.

    I do love these RTA's,my previous ''main'' was the PeaceMaker RTA 25mm,gee that sure is one finicky RTA never was able to get it right,leaked all the time.

    User in the forum was asking about it in a thread so i shipped it over to her ,hopefully she can get it wicked properly,shame thou i really loved the aesthetics of that RTA.

    This is the one,revolver chamber sort of look is groovy,shame about the wicking part oh well.

    Never tried top airflow RTA's,might have to give it a try one of these days.

    Anyway,thanks a bunch for the advice buddy,much appreciated.

    cheers

    I really liked the flavor production on the Augvape Merlin but I bought four or five of them and every one of them seeped liquid from the bottom of the press fit base. The flavor on the zeus and intake are good enough for me. I'm sure there are better ones but I refuse to deal with leaking.

    You are getting old Hitt!

    Unfortunately I think you are right. Since I was up anyway, I figured I may as well do something constructive. I posted another review so I'm caught up for now besides the one on the way from Sourcemore but it may not make it here until after Xmas.
