Ugh he kills me. I watched the kanger subtank review and he could've easily knocked 30minutes off and still given the same info. First and last I'll watch, I fast forwarded half of it

But it's the people that don't like details and specifics that cause so much crap to be built... they were too bored to think it through and cover everything they could think of.
Phil does a very comprehensive and informative review, which can be long-winded for sure. He seems to be geared, and always has, for the more conventional or mass market vaper (if there is still such a thing). That said, he no longer reviews juices with a hh357 dripper, if he reviews them at all. And, he almost never uses a Provari anymore, which was a mainstay for a while.
I have also noticed that while he professes to disdain cloud chasing and sub-ohm vaping as unnessary and dangerous, he reviews things like the Atlantis and Kanger Subtanks, using DNA 30 or 40 devices. To be fair, he never reviews RBAs or mechs mods, with the exception of Kayfuns and such that excel above 1 ohm. He basically sticks to the "popular" devices with an emphasis on conventional vaping, which is fine.
But, I recall not so long ago that many of us said that our spinner or bulletproof Provari and a Vivi Nova (or pick your clearo) was perfectly good and satisfying. There's folks still using those kinds of devices, and that's cool. There's folks that moved on to rebuildables like Kayfuns that changed their minds but now this is perfectly fine and satisfying.... What a surprise.
And there are devices in the market now that are a next step, which are unnecessary beyond perfectly fine, that Phil is grudgingly covering, that if he doesn't, he may as well quit. But he isn't, because vaping is important and relevant to public health. So he is soldiering on and slowly taking on the latest tech, at least as far as battery holders. And he's thorough. But he's limited and therefore a bit less relevant and popular than he once was. If I want a review of say, a Lemo as to how it compares to a trusty Kayfun, for example, I have to go elsewhere. (I didn't choose that comparison at random; I see a lot of people trying to drill out the perfectly fine Kayfun to increase airflow. Why bother when it works great for some juices just as it is? Get one of the many other options out there for more airflow/lower ohm builds/dual coils etc. that can take advantage of the newer regulated and mechs out there.
So, what was my point? I forget hahaha. Oh, that Phil analyzes and demonstrates devices in great technical detail, which I appreciate if they are something I may be interested in. Other reviewers don't do that. He's just very narrow in his choice of devices. If I want to investigate something more "exotic" like the dozens of rbas and rtas on the market I have to go elsewhere, and while those reviewers do a good job on features and benefits, and specs, they don't cover the technical aspects as well as Phil. So there.[emoji12]
Jeez, what was THAT all about? [emoji1]

Keep in mind that even though he may be using the latest and greatest devices, he never goes higher than 10 - 12W for regular vaping. I can say this for a fact.. because I've seen it myself.
Maybe I'm bat-crap crazy, but I like PBusardo. He gives a really good review of what he is testing without acting like a frigging idiot. He can be long winded and sometimes gives a bit too much of his own opinion, but I just ignore that crap. He also gives away a lot of really nice stuff.
Who am I trying to kid, I am way beyond bat-crap crazy.....

Only in the RSST... HA!!!
It stands to reason that since the twists in the coils hold more juice, they also collect more gunk. Does that sound reasonable?

so you are basically saying HHV juice is gunky?
and... you have an RSST ?? too kewlll..
Yeah they do..For some juices I switch up to 26ga from twisted 28.

I did, in the good ol' days!! And, some HHV's can be gunky.
I've built probably at least 20 coils since my rolls of wire came in yesterday, all different sizes and wraps, compressed and spaced.
The one that seems to work best is 2 strands of 30 guage, 10 wraps on the 6-32 screw. Comes out to 0.12.
20w at 440 degrees, it only hots temperature protection if I chain vape and I never do unless I'm testing and playing with things.
Awesome flavor and a good amount of warm but not hot vapor.

been messing around with the Cerebus atty and tried something totally off the wall... 3 coils... 4 wraps, 5 wraps, 6 wraps... really interesting results. the 4 wrap coil fires really quick then followed by the 5 and 6.... serious vapor density and flavor.. but a bit too warm for my liking... but still interesting as far as function goes.... need time to see how the wicks are affected...
Well I made my first dual coil today at 1.2 ohms...I thought I'd never get it done. One lead wire was loose, and it was hard to get it locked in on the Aqua2. Finally got it done. It took me quite a while. I just wanted to see what it was like. I've had to play with the wick again. I have the air hole as far open as possible. If it is full open, it wobbles, so I close it down a notch.
Rebuilt my other Rose V2 , decided to go with 24ga this time , 6 wraps 2.4mm ID , .5 ohms vertical coil . curious but there's no hesitation at all with the 24ga , it's on the copper Stingray coming up to temp instantly , loaded with DF and the flavor is awesome , juice control is 3/4 open feeding the beast flawlessly .
Does the Original Svoemesto Kayfun have an O-ring at the fill port ? If so, what size ?
Not sure exactly which Kayfun model you refer. The original Kayfun Lite has no o-ring on the fill screw. The Kayfun Lite Plus DOES have an o-ring on the fill screw. I don't know about the Kayfun 3.1.
Does this answer your question?
