Mod for tf-rta

[Grego25]

I've been looking at rtas for a while now & plan on picking up the smok tf-rta g2. This tank is 24.5mm so I'd rather have a box that it doesn't stick out from. I also prefer the tank on the other side of the top from the firing buttons but that's not a deal breaker. I would like to go with a single 18650 as budget is a factor & I have a spare battery already. I'm pretty firm on a replaceable battery with the uncertainty of what will be available down the road. I'd also like to be around 75w so I don't limit future wants but think 60 would do. I don't use tc & have 2 boxes capable of it if I want to try one day.
The ones I've looked at are the xcube mini & koopor mini 2. I like the compactness of the koopor but always thought the xcube was really cool. A coworker with the 160 likes it but has had one burn out on him & it fires in his pocket a lot when he forgets to lock it. Any thoughts on these? Other suggestions? Any help is appreciated.

By the way I have a couple of kanger boxes & am borrowing a coolfire from a buddy. I like the kangers but want to try something different & love the coolfire except for the internal battery

Coolfire 4 18650. 75W, single replaceable battery, holds a 25 mm tank just fine, and the tank sits towards the back with the fire button on the front.

I have a tf-rta g2 with a 0.5Ω dual coil build. I run it on a Sig 213 in power mode, fits great and looks good. Be advised, many dislike the Sig and Fuchai 213, mostly due to TC problems, but research before you consider. I also have run the RTA on an IPV D2d, great fit but poor battery life. So my main point, determine what kind of builds you want to do. Good news is you can build to your mod or get a mod that will give you many build options.

I'll have to check out that new coolfire. Same size? The ipv is another one I looked at. I'll take a better look at both of them

the sigelei spark 90 watt 26650 can handle most any tank. And it has pretty good battery life, I get more than a day vaping a .5ohm coil in an RDA. Additionally it has a pretty decent strong vape through to about 35% on the battery before vapor starts to thin out a bit.

My sigelei 75 doesn't perform nearly as well. it starts to have impacted performance around 50% battery life.

IMHO single 18650 mods just don't have enough battery life to be a real consideration unless you are in the higher resistance club.

I'm off work today so been looking at different devices all day & the spark is on my short list. I usually alternate between 2 unless I'm running out somewhere. Battery life hasn't been an issue but I still don't want something that won't last. Glad to hear about the 75 as that was the next one I was going to check out.

I just got my TF-RTA G2 today. Very nice. I'm just using the coils it came with to start, but I really like the performance of it. I'm running it on a Sig Spark 18650 mod. Black spark, black RTA, looks good. The over hang isn't bad, maybe .75 mm over the edge. I usually vape stuff like that at the computer while at work, so I'm always charging via USB. Works well.

I really like how you can access the coils without dumping the tank (TFV4 is bad about that). Guess I need to change my sig to add this atomizer.

So I think I'm going to order the above combo from MVS. I seem to remember seeing a coupon code related to the forum. Anyone know if that's correct?

Wake and Vape. Coupon code: SPARKCHEAP. Ends up being $30.

I have 6 of them now (sparks). I love the unit, it's small and lightweight. Way lighter than the IPVD2/3. Check into the one with the 26650 also, it all depends on how many batteries you have on hand, if you can charge, and what wattage you vape at, and how often.

I can chain vape and drive at around 25 watts plugged into 5 volts. 30 watts, you have to take breaks.

I saw some good deals at wake and vape but I think they were out of stock. Almost everyone is right now. I ended up getting it for 30 & the tank for 19 so all said and done it was 54 something. I'm more than satisfied with that. Now the wait...

I usually leave town, order the stuff, and when I get back home it's waiting for me. Hmm, they have stock on both items, and you get a cool retro 60's cardboard box with it. And - drum roll, sometimes they toss in a pair of batteries for free (not on the invoice list, it's just there in the box). It's like a box of chocolates.

Now I'm waiting on my (unrelated) C02 regulator and soda bottle connections so I can make my own Stevia based soda for $0.30 a 2L bottle. And uhh, sparkling fermented tea. I got vaping down so cheap, trying to extend that into all my pleasures.

So the new setup came today. The spark has really simple menus & fits the bigger tank just about perfect with the included case on it. I wicked the tank like the instructions say which is the same way I wick my kanger tank. Leaked like crazy so I hit YouTube. I ended up cutting the wick ends down way more & it's working great. One thing that's not much of an issue for me but might be for some is that all the information online says the g2 is .45 ohms. The box says .2 & that's about what I'm getting. I have plenty of power to run it but for those planning to run one on a less powerful box you might want to call before ordering to verify the resistance.

Mine shows .19 as well. It all comes from china, eh...
