General, a few questions if you don't mind:

1. I see the airhole in the side of the tank on the Big Bully. Does that mean it will leak if you don't keep it upright? If so, it would be an "at home only" device for me. When I'm traveling (which I do a lot), I use something pocketable.

2. Is it easier or harder to recoil the Big Bully vs. a Vivi Nova?

3. What other advantages does this have to a Vivi Nova? E.g., does your juice taste better?

General, a few questions if you don't mind:

1. I see the airhole in the side of the tank on the Big Bully. Does that mean it will leak if you don't keep it upright? I try to keep mine upright...don't always succeed but I've never had it drip out the air hole anyway. If so, it would be an "at home only" device for me. Absolutely. That's what I do. I dedicate an RBA to a juice and use it for home use only...for the most part. When I'm traveling (which I do a lot), I use something pocketable.

2. Is it easier or harder to recoil the Big Bully vs. a Vivi Nova? At least as easy if not easier.

3. What other advantages does this have to a Vivi Nova? E.g., does your juice taste better?[/QUOTE] The biggest advantage is taste. The flavor explodes. Biggest disadvantage is more refills. One reason why it is an at-home device. But you can still get a half hour of vape time in. The flavor advantage makes it worth it

I never tried the Big Bully. I just have the standard size Bully. I'm guessing the Big Bully is the same thing just a little larger. Your call Pap. You can always ask questions. Plenty of people who use RBA's. One day you might want to go mesh but the Bully will be a big improvement and put you in the same arena

If you guys like RDAs, try the IGO-L from Youde. It vapes better than those Phoenix clones. There's a new one on the way, the IGO-W, which has two negative posts for easy dual coil setup. I got in on a Nimbus group buy for close to half-off retail. Can't wait. I do like RDAs.

Oh. I've just been trying to get him in an RBA. Guess you had to be there. :)

Oh, why didn't you say so?! I've got the little Phoenix and the larger one. Both with a mesh wick in them. The little one has a vertical mesh wick, and the larger one has a U-Wick. I've also got the IGO-L that XFoo is recommending, and yes, that is what I'd recommend Pappy get. They are all at-home devices, because they do leak if juice gets to their holes. But, for home use, perfect! Here's where my IGO-L now resides:

I shrunk my copper mod #2 down to 65mm in height, using a 18350 and a Shortstop (fuse) is included. This thing is crazy short.

Ordered a Richman's RBA today. If I could find a USA made battery, I would be vaping 100% USA style. Take that China!

Schnarph, Need more pics of the short mod now!!!! I am loving your new mods. I wish I had what it takes to build one :( Maybe one day I will attempt it.

Had some luck wrapping ribbon coils on silica capped cable all afternoon for an AGA-T2, but haven't hit that perfect spot just yet. Did a 3/4 wrap, 1.1ohm with .8mm ribbon, but I think it's wrapped too tight and I'm not getting much vapor. :glare:

On the other AGA-T I did a U wick with the cable, sleeve and 6/7 (or was it 7/8) wrap with .5mm ribbon. Geez, 3.2 omg ohm!!! It took all of 15 watts to get it warm enough to produce a little vapor. Another problem is that the cable is too long and the coil hits the inside of the cap at the drip tip hole. :facepalm:

Back to the coiling table... :blink:
