Killer 705 Clone from madvapes (Terminator RDA) for $11.99

[Kemosabe]

Kemosabe please let me know how many holes are in the packaged version. The pictures show that they don't have the short 510 to 510 connection on the end of them I believe. Good pricing!!

sure thing, Woody. no problem.
dang. i should have ordered more extentions. i didnt realize the replacements didnt have them. oh well. i do have some unsealed 510 adapters maybe theyll work. if not i'll just make another order. shipping was cheap enough, especially with the discount code.

Good to know, thanks. It's kind of backwards how they're treating them like any old cartomizer, though... as if their sleek but unremarkable tank is really the selling point.

I'm going to hold off and see if someone chimes in on the end-caps question.

i also thought that was weird about them referrign to them as cartomizers in the description. im betting its for people that just dont know how they work, and seeign how submerging them in a tank is how they work, they decided to call them cartos. bad choice iMO, but no biggie. they are indeed called atomizers on my receipt though.

i went ahead and scored my 5-pack before vaping craze realizes these are RBAs and not cartos. or maybe theyre just being super generous to get their feet off the ground on their grand opening sale. either way, im happy.

anyone know if this thing would bottom feed on a mini reo? Is it fatter at the base? Does it even have an unsealed connection?

i can try it out on my vmod but i dont have a reo. youll likely be able to bottom feed it as the connection is indeed unsealed. im wondering why youd need a tank on a bottom feeder, but hey i guess you could use it without the tank. or just have that much more ejucie on deck if you did use the tank.

sure thing, Woody. no problem. it does appear to me that the 510-510 extention is indeed there.

look again, in the left of the picture is the bottom, there is no room to fit this into a tanks bottom cap... so the extension is needed, unless you had some custom fit bottom cap made.

 

[Kemosabe]

yep. i edited my post. i thought it was there at first glance, but now i see that its not. did you get the spare adapters from them?

only after i saw it mentioned
bummer, i thought it was too great a deal and jumped on it ASAP w/o giving much thought to it... oh well. I have this set of 5 plus 2 adapters, plus a whole unit on its way. these little buggers better work

Performs well until you want to refill. It is very finicky if your tank doesnt have a fill hole. Getting the juice flow control to work without unscrewing the bottom 510 extender is the biggest problem with this thing, which has to be dealt with each time it is filled... All that said, when it is all together and filled up, it is a good vape.

 

[TroyDestroy]

anyone using this with a 22mm tank they would recommend? thinking about getting a trap tank for it. The GP SnP tank will be 23mm in first run, but would look great when the 22mm is released later on. Before i drop high cash on a nice tank i'll test these out in a simple dct tank to see if they are even worth it...

I need some help, preferably a complete video tutorial on assembling, filling, and tweaking the intake.

All I'm getting is horrible dry hits, and every time I attempt to partially disassemble it to tweak the intake, I lose some liquid. And then when I'm putting everything back together I invariably somehow tighten up the intake again. Either during the reassembly or when I'm attaching it to a device; eVic or plain ol' Spinner.

The first drag I took was GREAT, but that's just because I got the primer drips. After that it was a total frustration. I'm giving up for today, and I'm waiting on some patient, knowledgeable soul to do a "for dumbfcuks" guide on this one.

So far, the only thing that has successfully done the "atty in a tank" thing easily, cheaply, and effectively (for me anyway) is the Phoenix Raven.

So....SmokTech TT (or Terminator or whatever, Killer/Diver clone, etc)= ONE point, me= ZERO!

edit: meant to add, I got a tiny little clear grommet with mine, it came from Stormy's.
I have no clue what to do with it.

 

[Johnnie Price]

Got mine in today and it's working well so far. I can't flush mount it yet, but I'm working on that part. I find that I don't even need the flow control opened; maybe that's because it's on an auto or because I don't chain vape. And they make great drippers even without the tank. This one is a keeper.

My Killer Clones (Terminator) arrived from Exhale today (I ordered 2).

I put one of them in a 19mm XL IBTanked tank, and it works pretty well. Great flavor, no dry hits, no leaks and it looks pretty cool in the tank.

The 510 extension on the bottom makes it sit up a little high on my eVic, and the top tube sticks out of the top a little (and this is an XL tank), but other than these minor cosmetic issues, it performs well. I've run about half a tank through it, and it just seems to get better and better...

It is a little wobbly if you unscrew the tube more than bout 3/4 turn, but nothing earth-shattering. Since opening the tube more than that seems to cause flooding and gurgling, its something I can live with, considering the performance.

Getting the flow "dialed in" is a little tricky and tedious, I'll admit. Unlike the "Terminator-C" (which works on a VERY similar principal for juice flow control), you can't really adjust the flow tube on the Killer Clone without taking the top cap of a standard tank off, at least not on my IBTanked tank. The o-rings on IBTanked caps make tight seal, and just won't let you turn the barrel of the KC in place. Again, this is a minor inconvenience, and getting it dialed in only took 3 or 4 adjustments.

I've got a couple X8 tanks on order from FastTech which should be here in week or two, and that should fix the wobbly issue, but for now, I'm very happy with this device. For about 1/10th the price of a Killer 705, the "Terminator" is a steal....

Any chance you could post a close-up (or, even better, a macro) of your Killer Clone (I like that) on yer eVic?

Here ya go!

Less than half a tank left of AiV's "Twas Brillig" (my "benchmark" testing juice for new devices).

I'm running the stock wick and coil, and the eVic says it meters at 2.2ohms. Vaping at 7.3watts of yummy goodness... ;-)

 

[zipflint]

Hmmmm.....that DOES give me a better idea of how this should fit together. I'll work on mine more tomorrow.
Thanks for the photo!

 

[nelsonm64]

i have 2 on order from exhale, no feeding issues? are the ones from exhale the slotted version, i think i read there are 2 types. also, i'm hoping down the road someone with the Killer, the Diver and the Terminator can do a comparisson. if i find the terminator doesn't do it for me i think maybe i might go for the Diver. big price difference though... (crosses fingers)

Don't worry about that extra grommet. I don't think you need it. I don't use it.
To work your killer clone, fill up the tank with the juice control closed. Then put the cap on and slowly open the juice control by twisting the barrel of the atomizer above the tank. You'll start to see the holes open up and bubbles escape the holes. I don't need primer drops but you might. That's pretty much it.

 

[zipflint]

Big thanks! I will give this a shot when I'm more "with-it."

Question though: wouldn't twisting the barrel of the atomizer just make the whole thing spin? I'm guessing you mean that I should hold the bottom, the very end of the device, the end of the 510 extender that connects to your battery/mod, right? But then....wouldn't that just begin to unscrew the two parts of the atomizer itself? I mean, the bit that holds the ceramic cup and coil to the long barrel? I guess I should just make sure that THAT part is screwed on nice and tight....

I'm on my second tank, and it's vaping like a champ. I'm using AiV's "Twas Brillig" and although it's not officially documented, I have it on good advise (from AiV themselves) that this is a "high VG juice" (stock mix is somewhere around 30PG/70VG).

My Terminators are from Exhale. They have two holes in the side of the 510 connector on the bottom of the cup, above the threads (like a Vivi Nova). The 510 extension has no holes or slots in the sides or top. Draw is very smooth and a little airy, though not TOO airy.

Mine seems to be working just fine. I'm going to load the second one up in a Phiniac Phineer tank later this afternoon, with a different juice, and run it through it's paces. I'll report on the second one later today or tomorrow.

I can't wait for the two X8 tanks I ordered from FastTech to arrive. They will probably be here in a week or so, and I'll be giving a full report on how the X8 tanks work with the Terminator as well.

Stay tuned!

The juice feed mechanism on the Terminator (Killer Clone) works on the same principal as the "Terminator-C". But with the Term-C, twisting the "cup" to raise or lower the cup that covers the wick and coil is very easy--the o-ring at the top pf the Term-C is held in place and sealed by a small nut that you can loosen making it easy to adjust juice flow.

On the Terminator (KC), the o-ring in the top cap of most tanks is MUCH tighter, and cannot be "un-tightened" like on the Term-C. So if you twist the top of the Terminator (the part that stick up out of the top of your tank, where you insert your drip tip) the whole tank spins--as well it should. If the o-rings were loose enough to allow you to spin the top tube of the Terminator, the tank would leak...

So I slide my top cap out off the top of the tank tube, just to the end of the Terminator's top tube, and adjust it that way. When I get the cap in the Terminator's cup where I think it will work, I push the top cap of my tank back into place and mke sure it is seated firmly.

The process of getting your Terminator "dialed in" for proper juice feeding might take a few adjustments--which means repeating the above process a few times. Just take your time, be patient, and be careful. When you get it "dialed in", the results will be worth every second of hassle--believe me...

I have no clue what to do with it.

I got tiny little translucent grommets with mine too. I think those are plugs for the end of the mouthpiece, in case you want to use it without a drip tip, like a cartomizer. It sure looks like the plugs that come in the mouth-end of cartos, and it fits in the mouth-end of the Terminator just like it should.

I just tossed the stock clear drip tips and those grommets in my "vaping spare parts" box, because I like my spiffy drip tips... ;-)

StereoDreamer, thanks again for all the help. I'll post my results as soon as I have time and energy and patience enough to give it a proper go.

No problem.

Just a note though, you do NOT have to open the feed cup very much to get good juice feed. I think mine is opened about 3/4 of a turn. the cap in the "cup" is maybe 1/64". I mean, it's open just enough to be a little wobbly.

And I'm using high-VG juice, and they seem to feed just fine. If you are using high-PG juices or juice that is otherwise thin, you might not even need to open it a half-turn.

If you open it too much it floods, gurgles, and might leak through the 510 connector. You'll DEFINITELY know if you open it too much... ;-)
