I really like my RSST but there are a couple of things that could be improved, first off, the fill hole plug needs to be better. Not tapered, maybe a bit longer and ball shaped, something with "grabability" instead of pinching with the fingernails and dropping it on the floor 3 out of 4 times. Also, the cap and base/oring seating area could have been a bit longer instead of 1/4" along with 2 oring grooves, if you bump the top it can be dislodged or even fall off... and finally, maybe a design or notch on the cap and base to "align" the airhole to the coil more accurately instead of guessing. Just my .825 of an ounce of gas worth ( 2 cents)

I looked over at a sample bottle of Razzberry and noticed it had darkened up a tad.. good its starting to steep/age. And then I thought... hmmm all the different ways to enhance the steeping process... and out of the corner of my eye I see my Brass tumbler ( for reloading bullets) and thought "shaking" ........... I wonder hmmm

Steeping is nothing more than the process of differing flavor molecules attaching themselves to each other. So any motion will enhance that process dramatically.

Anyone here familiar with this rba ?

Aqua Atomizer Clone - 101 Vape

Nope, but it looks nice… Wish they showed the insides.

From the little I've heard about the clone, I'll steer clear myself.

I sent my titan and kayfun lite out today. A bit of custom paint work in its future. I'm so damn excited to see what it looks like.
I'm going Dune themed and full atreides colors :p yeah I'm a Dune geek so.
Also ordered a nemi clone and atomo clone yesterday. Why? Well not sure honestly but I just couldn't help it.

I dunno but Pbusardo complained about the fill valve on the genuine Kayfun not working with the supplied bottle , I can't remember what he used but it was a plastic tip that worked not metal , it's easy enough to fill from the top anyway but you might want to watch Pbusardo's review on youtube , sorry I don't have the link for it Leo , I have to use a separate app to watch youtube .

I got some plastic bottles from InTaste.de that have the super slim tip recommended by them for the KF 3.1 and KFMini. Wondering if their needle top would work as well.

PS They work great!

Good news! The mule finally made it to our door today with my vape mail. You think he could have flown out instead of walking all that way. Seriously, the vape mail had been sitting in LA for 5 months waiting for the mule to get off its .....

I'll be able to make some decent micro coils now with 100 ft. of Kanthal A1 30g wire. I also got the Odyssey mod back from rehab, they actually sent a complete new unit to replace the old one, including charger, batteries, cartos and documents! Love that 5 year warranty! Breaking it in now with some Huntsman. Pics to follow. It's a really nice mod, only real downside is/was the cartos in the tank and the battery size, 14500 800 mAh (AA size).

5 months! You gear is obsolete by now!

You know.... really liking the KFC now that I have some ml's through it. Flavor is quite good actually, very condensed and concentrated.

Looking at the design, it is quite clever. It is, in a sense, a Vivi Nova coil head stuffed inside a Protank coil head.... solving the problems of each device in the process. One of the biggest gripes I had with the Vivi was the way it wicked and that whole 'tilt and swirl' thing I had to do when the juice started getting low. Both numbed the bloody blue blazes out of the flavor. And last, but not least, the damn things friggin' leaked through the center post all the g-d time (Evod and Protank more so than the Vivi).

The juice feeding system is quite well thought out.... By raising the coil and vent port higher in the chamber, you reduce the possibility of a leak if too much juice gets on the coil. That was the Protank's main issue... once juice worked its way in independent of wicking, the only place it had to go was down the center post hole on to your positive contact. And since the vent was pretty much level with the bottom of the tank, you had the whole tank pushing down on it. But on this, with the vent much higher, juice has to come in and work its way back up and down the air vent. Then they mitigate leaking even further by using a mostly sealed overflow tank at the base... leaked juice will collect in that tank and never make it back down into the center post (provided the seal around the post screw holds.)

And the evaporation chamber works rather well... You have a large chamber around that coil that narrows, which will condense the vapor... increasing its density as well as keeping it warm due to adiabatic compression effects (you squish a gas and the pressure and temp increases). Going back to the VN and PT, the evap chamber on both are SO tiny that the vapor will expand, cool and diffuse a bit before it gets to you... And, in general, hot and tight is better than cold and loose. Hey-yo!

Nice bit of engineering here.

OK.. KFC emptied out.... I need to put a good micro coil in there tonight now that I got my gear. The Chrident (my play on Chinese Trident with the 'ch' as in cherry, pronounced, well, Trident) is back in rotation. Interesting... taste is pretty much identical to the KFC, but the vapor output is higher... I am guessing once I put a better coil/wick in the KFC, it might even out.

We'll see... the KFC might go on hiatus for a little... the RDAs have a lot better gas mileage and I was blowing through too much juice in the KFC :) After another HHV order to restock.

    Leo you might want to open a ticket with Fasttech for the stainless steel replacement parts for your KFC Fasttech is packaging mine for shipment already I really liked the way they handled this issue when it was discovered that some parts were plated brass , the new batch will be all stainless and free replacement parts for the ones shipped with brass parts , for 21 bucks I think they really did they're best with this in trying to please their customers .
