Introducing Sgt VV (Army Tank) - Variable Volt Bottom Feeder

[washvap]

Well I finally got my replacement Hybrid BF atties in the mail. 2.5 ohm and even though I will probably never do business with Vapage again these things ROCK! It is the first "real" atty I have tried and this thing almost choked me the first vape.

I think I will still order some of the i06's and give them a try as well.

The thing about the i06's is that it has an overly tight draw IMO. I personally think that it's just hype since I don't feel there's anything special about that atty. The performance was ok at best.

You might feel differently. Let us know how you like them.

All of my wire came in today !!! One more day at work, and all weekend it is Atty buildin time!

Nichrome- 32, 34, 36 (samples of 40,41,44) awg
Kanthal- 36 awg.
Nextel ceramic wick-- hope this arrives today

Lot of tinkerin to do this weekend. Effects of: More wraps in coil for greater surface area? Lower wraps on coils for faster heating? Lifespan and subtle taste differences of Kanthal vs Nichrome. Performance under 100% VG juices, ect.. ect..

It's going to be beautiful now, just like it was when I started DIY mixing. Absolute full controll over my Vape. Bulli A2 will be my dual coil experiment platform and Iatty will will be my single coil.

If anyone has any tips, or awesome atty builds they found: pls share them. Been vaping the Iatty this week, workin fantastic, but wanna get all crazy this weekend 8)

The nextel wick is the best I have used. It does have to be heat treated first tp burn the casing off

Have fun, brother. I can tell you're excited. I would be too!

yep, got a butane torch to oxidize the SS mesh, figured it would work on the nextel also 8)

I should be gettin my a2 next week. I miss my iatty but it was also a little more hassle to maintain and change out wicks and such

 

[Stownz]

definately a hassle, but I like that it feeds flawlessly.

Order the mega tank 3 weeks ago for the Bulli, but still havnt recieved it

 

[ukeman]

hows the draw on the Bulli?
I know the coolness of rebuildables, but to me it depends on the air draw, all other things being good. If it's too airy i won't like it.
So I have a Genesis on the way, and another from 2 different co-ops.
But my experience with the iatty was too airy. i see the Mart T coming but again i learned not to jump until others review it.

Iatty is great on a Ggts with air control. With my provari not so good. Imeo I coming out with an iatty 2 soon I'll probally get that.

I'd love a bottom feeding rebuildable

 

[silentt]

The iAtty was a great rebuildable atty. Once you get used to it and find what setup you like, it's amazing. I used the XC-116 also and heat treated it with a butane torch. If you don't do it right the wick will break apart very easily, it's going to take a few tries to get it right. The SS Mesh was the big TH and it lasted a very long time. Good luck and have fun Stownz.

hows the draw on the Bulli?

Bulli draw is just about perfect, if you want it a bit tighter. Thing is you can cover the air hole with a piece of tape and poke a hole with a needle if you need too. Can also play with the position of the wick and coil and there is quite a bit of difference in how it performs. If wick is close to airhole, needless to say draw changes. I stick a need through the airhole and push the wick/coil around to change it up a bit.

I'm waiting for the mark-t also, but it kinda looks like a Bulli clone with an ego adapter. I might just polish this SS Buli instead.

Had a G-tank for a day, but never assembled it, mailed it to a friend.
got a Scuba otw, but not hearing great things about it so I'm not real antsy.

 

[ukeman]

I saw the first sign of these rebuildables a while ago on youtube and thought; "wow, all that vapor"... and i am hoping the vapor and flavor is better than my favorite attys... and yes you can find ways to alter the draw if there is holes at the connector.
I just got some Dripping Attys from SmartVapes... wow they have tons of vapor. the LR 1.8 is kicking, and the HV that i have is airy so i took a sliver of wood shaved down to like a needle and stuck it in one hole; problem solved.

 

[silentt]

I really want to try a bulli a2-t, I just don't want to wait 3weeks+ to receive it. I bought a 306 DCA, I'm hoping I can get back into 306 atomizers.

Anyways I really want a metal version of the Army Tank, VV+bottom feeding in a durable box that I don't have to worry about = heaven.

 

[Stownz]

3 weeks? haha, thats only if you happen to catch them in stock. I've been waiting a month for just my Mega tank upgrade.

You got an iatty right silentt? I like that a lot better then I do my Bulli atm, only because of the tank feed. Might change my mind when the Mega tank gets here though. Just bought me a 2nd Iatty because I like it so much (maybe this one won't have jacked up plastic threads... lol)

 

[silentt]

I had one for awhile but I sold it. It was a great re-buildable atomizer and vaped like a train with SS mesh. I just needed money to fix my car so I sold it. I can't wait for the new iAtty2 to come out, Imeo made some adjustments so it will be more user friendly and easier to use the nextel 116 wicking.

 

[eastman]

I am waiting as well for the iatty 2 and the metal version of the sgt vv.

Did imeo give any timeline for iatty 2

 

[Stownz]

I said "screw it" and bought another used Iatty. They are extremely functional as they are, and really hate that rat race when new GG stuff is released. Seems bruce always puts them up on wed or some goofy day right before I get paid, lol.

I'm still trying to kill the first coil I made. I'm guessin a week, at around 6ml a day? All I have had to do is wash the coil off then dry burn and the ce2 wick goes right back to white and coil is perfect. Got a second one so I could experiment with different coil types but still have one assembled to vape and enjoy 8)

Switching regulator REALLY shines the battery life when goin high voltage. 5.3 volts and I'm getting a full tank before swappin bats. I had someone pm me why I wasn't bottom feeding with the Army Tank: "Because its not just a bottomfeeder, it has the 3amp regulator of my dreams"

 

[silentt]

Yes I am almost tempted to just buy one and another when the metal version comes out. I can't wait to run my dual coils at 6 volts and having a bottom feeder to keep them wet. My other bottom feeders do it but I would like to adjust the voltage to taste some days.

 

[AaronY]

I am waiting as well for the iatty 2 and the metal version of the sgt vv.

Any update on a ETA for either?
