What experience do you have with any of the RBA's available on CanVape?
Are any of these particularly suited to a complete RBA newb?

Pheonix (Rebuildable)

I have the vision eternity and i'm not impressed with it. I tried a couple different coils, but i find the flavour is really muted. I've also tried different juice flavours but they just taste flat.

I enjoy the v3. I find that it easy to work with once you can turn a wick and coil easily. Lots of room for extra wick stuffed in the bottom so it can hold a bit more. Easy to clean since you can take it all apart.
The DID clone is ok when it works, but getting it to wick proper without holding it upside down, and getting your ss mesh and coil is not as easy. I have one working awesome and I don't mess with it anymore. Good to learn with.
Phoenix was a no go for me. I broke out the insides quickly and never got a good vape from it. My positive pin had to be pulled a bunch of times for it to work on all my devices and would upset me.

V3 Rebuildable Atomizer from Canvape - YouTube - V3 review from therealmac

 

[darren molnar]

V3 is next on my wish list. My phoenix is working great for me. I like that the post arrangement allows options for how you can place the coil in it. Right now I'm liking a verticle coil and a 3mm silica wick running into some cotton ball at the bottom of the well. My only wish would be that the air intake would be at the bottom but I heard the XL phoenix has this. Are you going to carry the XL Mopar?

I have the did clone too, I think I'm just not a genisis type guy and I'm glad I was able to find that out so inexpensively.

I'm looking at the bully A1, does it have to use a ego tank? Where is the air hole on this one?

Ya the V3 is pretty dope, I did wind up using a small round file (canadian tire) to bore out the air hole a bit (easier than using a drill bit), balances the TH and gives you more vapor. Definitely my favorite RBA atty for testing out liquids, and if you make the wicks longer and tuck them in there, they hold a good amount of liquid, very easy to clean and rebuild. Wish I had more of them.

And that is therealcmac to you Mopar

How much did you bore the hole? Do you recall which size round file you used?

at its fattest it is 3mm (the file that is) but i probably only opened up the hole to about 2mm....I like the file because I can just do a bit at a time until it is where i like it, as opposed to drilling it out big and then finding out the draw is far too airy.

The only rba I have is a Phoenix clone. I am still using the pre-made wick that came with it, so I can not speak for how it is to rebuild, yet! I am loving it! Great taste, no leaking! The only flaw is that the positive post will not make contact with all my devices... I haven't tried to pull it as I do have it working.... Eventually, I do hope to try a genesis style atty.

This happens alot with these, I just take a small screw driver and push down right in the phoenix from the top....if that makes any sense, it will push the pin out on the bottom

That is how I broke mine up. The inside shattered when I applied a bunch of pressure with the screwdriver.

Bummer, did you figure out any other way of pushing that center post down?

 

[northofamerica]

No. That was the best way I could find. There is little room to get anything inside the bottom to pull it out. Just watch the amount of pressure you put on it.

 

[dbot]

I think that I will go with the V3. The only thing that is holding me back is that it is made with chromed copper while everything else seems to be stainless steel. Should the build material be a deciding factor in my choice?

Is the Genesis DiD Clone (Rebuildable) the same as the one in this video VH-Genesis - Mini Did Clone - YouTube ???

Yes, whether it comes with the Steel drip top or a plastic one I am not sure of though.

Thanks. Anyone have anything good or bad to say about it? Thinking of getting one ...

They work pretty great IMO, if you have never used a genesis style atty it can be quite a frustrating set up at first until you get used to it and have some practice, also the air hole rarely lines up with the wick, which is pretty important, so you can either not screw it on all the way so it lines up or sand down the cap so it lines up. Get yourself some extra wire and mesh I like the 30awg kanthal personally, you can get the ohms lower easily and you will wind up with less blown coils....great for mechanical mods.

Thanks for the info. I will be ordering one in my next order to CV. I am good for wire and mesh. I do believe that the kit includes one piece of mesh.
