Let's test clones again; Patibulum RTA

[Lalli]

So got a clone of another great MTL rta, they just keep coming!

Real one costs around 200$ and is very difficult to get I think.
I ordered cheapest from FT around 13$, and also with rather low expectations.

I had it for two days now, and right on the first build it turned out to be absolutely fantastic vape! Not the easiest to build or use (and horrible drip tip) but vape quality is on par with best I ever tried.

I think it's sort of combination of Dvarw, Reaper3 and True MTL + very tight draw (3 airflow settings 0.8-1.0-1.5mm).

For the price the build quality of this no-name clone is ok, everything works.

Thanks for the observations!

After a week this is still awesome Made new coil, this time tried 3mm id and turns out the previous build with 2.5mm id was better. This is not bad but taste is little bit weaker.

Still zero troubles, no gurgle, not a drop of leaking. The juice consumption is high as this wicks a lot like Reaper V3. But filling is very easy.
I have to say that who ever designed the airflow system is a genius, it is complicated but it works like a dream.
I guess this is originally from Korea or Japan?

Ordered another clone, now from Shenray.

I saw one of these recently and thought it looked good. Are you still liking it? Is building still difficult?

Oh yes, honeymoon is over but I’m still loving it. For me it’s the best rta so far for tight mtl.
Building is ok, not the easiest but not too bad.

Thank you! Does it leak or weep?

 

[Lalli]

Has not leaked a drop so far. Or gurgled.
It consumes a lot of juice, but is very easy to fill.
I have two of these and have used them all the time for few weeks.

I have one in my Basket at FT, but am scared that it accidently opens, since the tank isn't screwed on. How tight sits the tank on the Deck?

 

[Lalli]

I was also thinking that the tank might come off accidentally, but so far it has not. It’s on tight enough it seems.
I have a no name clone from FT and also Shenray clone. On Shenray the tank is on a bit tighter. But it just depends on o-rings.
On both clones you can easily grab them from the drip tip and lift the tank and attached mod and the tank stays on.

Just a short question, my nonameclone from FT arrived yesterday, so i disassembled it to clean it, and now after putting everything together i realized that there is a tiiiiny gap between tank and base. Does anyone else have this?

 

[starman112]

My cheaper clone from fasttech has a gap,but the shenray version that i have also does not have a gap.Love this rta but i did drill out the airflow to 1.5mm.

 

[Lalli]

I don’t have any gap, but small gap should not matter much as long as the tank stays on.

 

[Molchi]

Thanks for your answers, tha gap is as small that i can't even get a fingernail in completely. I was just not sure, since i'm much better in disassembling things than putting it together

 

[starman112]

The gap is not caused by the tank section as i have swapped it with the tank from the shenray version .Its the outer chamber not going deep enough into the deck,so connects to the top cap before tank can get flush,but not caused me any problem.
