Kraken RBA - SHOW ME YOUR BUILDS!!

[PsychedChicken]

So I have a Kraken on its way in the mail. Ive played with RBAs in the past and Im not a huge fan of drippers except at home. I like tha Kraken because its a tank so I can take it to work.

I'd love to see the builds people are using on it or similar. I need ideas!!

I built mine with single coil using the ss rope that came with... 6/7 wraps of 30ga kanthal . Ended up to 1.8 ohm I recall . Played around adding ss mesh between the rope and coil didn't do well for me. Provari set at 3.8v.

I use 26 ga dual micro coil, 10 rap on 12 ga blunt needle with cotton. Love it

 

[PsychedChicken]

Sweet!! Im super excited to get mine!

28ga dual coils netting 0.7 ohm hits pretty good I not a huge fan, but I've only had it for two days, I like the afc but I don't like having a big extra metal sleve around my tank, same as the steam turbine, I like this a bit better however.

The coil on the right looks screwed up in this pic but it's not.

Do you find that this build wicks ok? I tried a cotton micro build and the cotton just wasn't wicking fast enough. I was sure to keep the cotton loose and fluffy too. Had to really do some hardcore tilting to re-feed the wick after a few puffs.

 

[Tbev]

Yeah it wicks very well... What dj you mean by refeed the wick? I

I just meant to rewet the wicks I was tilting it upside down because unlike your setup where you have the cotton going all the way in the tank, I was cutting it off just below the deck based on the video I saw from Rip Trippers on how to setup a cotton micro in a genny. I found the wick would get dry after every few hits so I had to tilt the tank repeatedly.

... that, make the wick an inch and a half or two inches let it hang over the top of the coils 1/4in. And leave a good amount in the tank. When a piece of cotton is, say 75%wet it facilitates the rest of the cotton in becoming wet as well, additionally, add you go thru juice you can pull your wick up they the top little bit at a time, cut off the top and you have new clean wick...

I am running a 1.3ohm horizontal MC with rolled cotton ball wick running thru both airholes and thru the coil. wicking isnt fast, but works quite well and i dont have to turn it upside down.
for my next build, ill shoot for a .8ohm dual vert MC, as posted above, with one long piece of rolled cotton going thru everything.
a friend gave me some important advice for gennys, air MUST be able to enter the tank for proper wicking. the cotton i use is loose thru the holes, on the next build ill insert a paperclip in one of the holes before adding the wick to allow more room for air to enter.
if done with the right proportion of cotton, leaking should not occur, and wicking should be improved.

i have had this for two days and i love it.

3/4 dual 26g with 3/32" 7x7 ss cable and 500x500 mesh sleeve. Also drilled out my clone top cap to use on my authentic atty (couldn't bring myself to drill the real one) to 7/64".

 

[UncleChuck]

Does the clone count?

Here's my Kraken clone build on top of a nemmy (seems to be a popular combo!)

Dual 1 ohm coils
28G Kanthal
1/16th wire rope with #400 mesh top

I know I'm in the minority here on my preferred Genesis setups, but I'm just addicted to cotton wicking in all my atty's.
Some of the builds you guys post are beautiful, and I do realize the advantages of steel rope/mesh/ekowool, etc. but
as far as flavor goes, I just can't let go of my cotton.

Here's one of my favorites with cotton and the Kraken
Dual mini-coil, 14 wraps of 28g with 1.8mm I.D.
Usually comes out to a modest .9 ohm build.

Slightly tedious to set up as the coils sit atop the deck screws. This one came out at .94 ohms...


Wick up from the bottom using 2 inches or 2 feet.
You'll want as much wick as possible sitting on the deck before entering the coils, as this helps to facilitate wicking speed.
Going around the center post, over and under each wick before entering the coil balances out the wicking to each coil.
The half inch or so wick exiting the top of the coil gets tucked in at the bottom of the deck where the opposing coils wick
enters the coil, so each coil gets evenly fed from both sides of each coil.
With your tank halfway on, stuff the rest of the wick into the tank. If you fill your tank full of wick as I did here, make sure to fold
the 2 wicks into the tank using a zig zag pattern so you can easily re-wick by pulling wick from the tank.
It's a good setup if you have a juice you never get sick of, as you can rewick or dry burn/rewick as many times as you want
just by removing the top cap and pulling wick from the tank.


Fill with a sharp needle, from the very bottom of the tank. Soon all the wicking above the deck will be a nice soupy mess.
You'll want to keep filling from the bottom of the tank even after the coils are all saturated. Moar juice!


The first time I tried this, I had a fear of the wicking in the tank pulling juice from the wicking in the coils.
No worries, you'll be surprised how much vaping you can do before that becomes an issue.
Plus, sticking a needle in the fill hole and adding juice isn't much trouble.

I'm not a cloud chaser, but the vapor is quite respectable, and the flavor... Oooh the flavor.

 

[Tbev]

That's dope! I run cotton in everything and I believe it's the best ever. I think people who don't like cotton just haven't used it much before, yeah I said it... Im gonna copy your build, I like the angle of the coils allowing for best Airflow. That is what I don't lie about the kraken, problem solved, thanks bud!
Can you shoot another close up of the wick routing? Much appreciated.

How much till is required to keep that build wicking while chain vaping?

Here's my current and first kraken build, I ran the U wick at the 7 and 5 o'clock position using a fill hole I believe so they would both get juices while tilting. Dual Coils netting 0.72 ohm.

Could look uneven in pic, but they are not. Camera adds more than just lbs...

 

[WileECoyote]

Oh man. These pics make me want to buy another toy I don't need.

 

[Tbev]

Bro, buy the pulse g genny from fasttech, I have every atty out any that with a single coil and a reducer isothermal best flavor for sure, IMHO.

You can fill w/ a needle bottle thru the reducer or pull it off and run duals.
Here another one with a delrin tank I made BC it came w/ a broken tank from China, they sent me 2 new glass tanks to make up for it but I like the delrin.

 

[rat6fink]

4/5 28ga on 500 mesh...
.9ohm
