• Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers

    Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

Don't you think the switch leaves quite a bit to be desired? Not the button, just the way the positive leaf hits the battery

IMO, For an AW no. It's perfect; for others, yeah, battery insul & nipple mtrl can mess it up a bit. But it can easily drive a 0.3 build w/o issue. I struggled w/ the Reo's contacts myself but there is no denying it's power, even with a AW 1.5k nipple you're pulling 24 amps...

ETA: I'm not hating on it! I haz one ordered. But it's always struck me as a weird design. Granted the simplicity and user-serviceability is a huge pro. But it doesn't seem like the best design for performance.

Prior to the kick in the proverbial genitals by SXD :laugh: to get off my duff and order one, through the first week of owning a couple, I thought much the same. Especially after and during using the best switch in the tube mod world imo. In fact my original plan was to modify the switch with a solid brass connection as it would be a very easy modification using a solid brass post and a bit of craftsmanship.

I have now come to truly appreciate the simplicity of the connection, it needs nothing more imo. As Matt mentions the stock power is incredible, I for one have decided that I have no business reinventing the REO connection only to satisfy the coursing testosterone that floods my veins.
Rob is no slouch and I am sure he has thought of alternative connections but, the proof is in the popularity and advanced users love for the current design.
You are going to love it.

A quick reply of mine last night in the High End thread as some may of questioned the REO and it being "High End".
I actually own a couple REO's and would consider them in the high end class due to their construction and quality. They are incredible devices and hit as hard or harder than 1/2 of the tube mods I have seen here on this thread. The drop out of the box :), incredible and something to talk about. I have always called it the "other side" of vaping(the squonking aspect). Not that they weren't already incredible but, when Rob started to build them with the sub ohm contact kit standard, they are f incredible.
Please note the number of REO threads/stickies, they are endless 24/7. Rob also builds many custom REO's and I have yet to see one lose a nickle in value. When they hit the classies....BOOM, gone. Between the old VV and the mechanicals - Grand, Mini, Woody and Low Profile they have been selling at the point where he can't keep them in stock this long after hitting the market. In fact the last one I ordered I had to email him and ask him to do me a favor and build it.
Yeah, there is no doubt they are high end in my book. Props to SXD.

OK guys, I'm hoping you can help me out with a couple things.

First I'm looking for a better triple coil build (idea) for my Cerberus clone. Even around .25 ohms its still so airy that I have to close it down or the flavor dies out.

Second, I'm looking for a more competitive 26650 battery. My poor MNKE'S don't like getting below .2 ohms or they get hot fast.

Any suggestions?

LOL, the H.E. thread. I've seen junk posted there

HAHAHAHA! No doubt. Funny, it seems if it is a copper tube these days it qualifies as a bada.. mod these days yet, there is question of a crafted custom box that is built, hand assembled and squonks juice to be vaporized deep within my hell bent soul :). It makes no f sense.

I can not help with the particular atomizer but, please note that too much air based on the physical properties on RDA's and RBA's alike will mute flavor. Each atomizer has it's own performance equation based on chamber size, build, air injection, etc., whether the performance is flavor or vapor production based.

Well, say goodbye to the Sony VTC line so, personally and according too many tests I will stick to AW IMR's.

Finally!!

Battery manufacturers will to have pay closer attention to battery end cap material qualities.

Sony is done, they don't want to deal with the vaping liability. I can't blame em as there are some that just can't seem to wrap their head around safety much less pronounce ohms law.

@ our buddy ethere - I am no fan of clones or copies mydamnself, I have to high5 Matty on the comment :).

Suggestions:

Send that thing back to China

& well you're at it tell Sony to pull their heads out of their aayusses and roll production on VTC5's & 26650's

If you get any traction you might as well tell them their battery insulation and terminal mtrl is junk.
Matty-

TBH, I love the Cerberus clone and would love to get a real one.

I was hoping that there might be an idea or two on a build that may help bump up the density of the vapor from the pro's here.

I'll have to play with it and see what I can come up with.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh I'm stuffed. Just got done munchin top sirloin. Vaping on my Oz22 @ ~ 0.4 w/ some Rocket Sheep Purple Alien, damn that's some serious density. Vapor just hangs and hangs and hangs about. If I didn't know any better I would say it's actually smoke.


So by density I take that to mean your looking for those big white clouds & lung fills.

First you gotta consider your RDA and the modder's pedigree the design was stolen from.

Footoon who brough us:

The Origin Mod, 20mm :facepalm:

The Aqau, dual coil KF w/o adequate airflow for sub builds :facepalm:

The Hades, that top contact :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

The Cerberus, form over function (28mm, 30mm, ?whatever, Large dia TC) :facepalm::facepalm:

There's no easy answer. Personally I would recommend an Alpine Mods General & Quasar but your still gonna be on the hunt for a Sony 26650 or three.

Idk, maybe try a single SLR parallel to try to throw that power you have all at one spot (?), then stuff the well w/ cotton ??

I am finding out rather quickly that the 26650 mods are more fantasy than reality at this point, with batteries that can open up the effective power that is supposed to be possible are very hard to find.

Honestly the concept of the rda is solid, IMO, but the execution and available batteries are its major limitation.

I think this is better left put back in the box until battery tech and availability catches up with the demand for larger diameter mods. For now I think I'll go back to my vtc4 18650 that are stable and have a proven record to take my builds off of.

Just a recap for anyone new: MNKE 26650's do not have a 60 amp continuous rating, only in burst for a *very* short time.

Edit: by density I mean air/vapor ratio (I'm normally more strict on terms, long weekend). Clouds aren't an issue with a vtc4 set up, I just liked the idea of a purpose-built triple coil atty. It seems to be more of a novelty item in practice though.

Get a neodymium magnet, and pass it from time to time over that general area ;)
I use one also for those pesky little bits that always fall from the desk, it works like a charm..

ETA: of course keep it away from computers, credit cards and similar magnetic-sensitive stuff.
