Moonshot clones anyone?

[FiReSTaRT]

I wanted a small capacity tank with airflow/flavour approaching dripper levels (but didn't want to have to drip every 5-10 puffs), so Moonshot came recommended to me that it fits the bill.. Because I didn't want for any of my hard-earned dollars to go to a company that retroactively chops their warranty periods (i.e. sigelei) I decided to go with a clone and #4498600 on FT seemed to be well reviewed as a high quality clone. Ordered one and will keep you guys posted on my impressions. One thing I expect is that it will be a bit of a ....* to build but it doesn't look like it's that much more of a hassle than the Bellus.

If it's anything like the Tornado (and I've seen them compared a lot), it'll make the Bellus look like a walk in the park. Take a look at the Tornado thread started by @100%VG (sorry, can't get to a link right now) for some nice build tricks.

A side note, Angelcigs also has these in their US warehouse... Seriously considering a purchase...

if the build deck is like the original then its going to be a that much harder to build than the tornado (free floating velocity deck).

Its a nice RTA that produces great flavor and cloudz all day. Nice little stealth setup as well, but you are forced to do dual coils and depending on build you might find yourself refilling every hour. I have the tornado and moonshot and prefer the moonshot.

Have 4 small capacity RTAs that I've tried:
Moonshot
Goblin Mini V2
Serpent Mini
Supreme 4ml version

The supreme 4ml has the most airflow out of the 4 followed by the moonshot, serpent, then goblin.

I bought a serpent mini recently and I keep telling people it's the moonshot by accident. I don't correct myself though.

NOTE: You can use a Toothpick instead of the Drill Bit.

I'd like to suggest that anyone having trouble building the Tornado or Moonshot could take a look at the link above. This is the way that I built my Tornado.

@Shawn Hoefer made this post and these follow-up posts...

Post #1 First Impressions
Post #2 More detail
Post #3 His build write-up

Overall, we are both pleased and think the Tornado is a Winner.

I am trying to get the Top Airflow to try this build at 300W on a triple series 18650 Nasy Box Mod. It works fine between 50W and 200W so far. More Airflow needed for over 200W.

It's probably stuck in customs by now. Already left for Canada but the tracking stops at that point. Canada Post is very iffy about tracking inbound shipments from most foreign destinations.

It arrived about a week and a half ago and at first I was frustrated.. With my minimalistic approach to wicking, I had it a little too thin and juice was gushing out as I was pouring it in. I was getting desperate and on an off chance I found out that a "kid" who's like a niece to me is dating a guy who works in a local vape shop and loves his Moonshot.. Told me to go closer to 1/4"-1/3" with 2.5mm coils and it worked.. I really gotta crank up the power to 80W, but the vapour and flavour are killer.. Beginning to love this thing!
