OBS Engine RTA... or is it an RDTA?

[Shawn Hoefer]

After a full day of use... that's a work day, BTW... no chain vaping here except to test the tank's capabilities... I've put about 10 ml through it. I've toted it in my pocket, upside down in my hand, laying flat on a table, and the only e-liquid I've seen outside of the tank has been either around the fill port right after a fill (pretty normal), or around the airflow/drip tip (not the fault of the tank, but more a case of my moustache needing trimmed... it gets soggy when I vape a lot lol).

I did get a little gurgle/spitting when I filled the tank the first time, and a little less when I filled it the second time. When I filled it the second time, I made sure that the tank was not yet empty. Filling a tank with e-liquid in it almost guarantees a leak on bottom air tanks. And all of this is with no juice control, either. However, the gurgle/spit was vaped through in a couple pulls. Compared to the Cubis, AIO, and Goodger which acted like hot juice straws after a couple hours of sitting or a refill, this is fantastic!

Cloud production is adequate, but not competition grade. However, the flavor is intense!

Just one work day in, and I think OBS has a winner, here.

Of course, I'll run it through all of its paces before rendering any kind of a final verdict...

Deck...

That's a dual 24 AWG 7 wrap 3.5 mm coming in at .34 Ohms.

Wicking...

The wick is cut just long enough to touch the deck.

The outside edge of the terminal holes are 12 mm apart.

Thanks for the pics bud,got one coming in a few days,got a couple of questions if you wouldn't mind,are sticking a little wick in those holes like mike vapes did? I see some reviewers folding they're wicks over the holes and am not to keen on doing it that way,my other question was that I noticed with other top air flow tanks is that when you turn upside down to adjust wicks or what ever they always leak juice out the air holes even when shut,is that the case with this one as well? Thanks for any advice or tips you could send my way;-)

I do not tuck the wicks in the holes. The ends are resting on the deck. There might be a little tuckage, but it isn't intentional, just natural....

I've had no leaking under any circumstances from any opening.

I find it to be a tech loud (that's a whoosh, not a whistle), and smooth.

Oh ok,ya I know what you mean,do you have the Sapor rta by any chance? I quiet like it but it's a little finicky to wick just right,if you don't it might flood just as this will also or it will be rough when you vape on it,am hoping this will be a little easier to wick up,thanks again for your quick responses;-)

I do not have the Sapor. I find as long as the holes are covered, there's no flooding outside of a little spit or gurgle after filling, and I've topped this tank off while half full with no flooding.

I'll second that from Shawn. All I did for my wicking was place the ends into the holes but not through them, and it wicks well. No problems with flooding on refills either. One or two pulls after filling and it's right back to a clean draw.

Me too, so if I can get it seemingly right (or at least working) on the first build, it must be very forgiving.

I'm on my 6th fill of the tank. Ive run nearly 30 ml of coffee vapes through it. This last tank is starting to taste a little off, but it's also a NEC coil gunker. No leaking! Think I'll build it again tonight...

That's great news Shawn ;-) a few pics of you're build would be nice to see ;-)

I forgetted. It's a dual 9 wrap 26 awg ss316l dual 3.5 mm. Came in at .33 ohms. I did have to tweak the coils a little. I think this size (3.5 mm) is at the outside limit of what this tank can handle...

Hi Shawn,just touching base to see if all is still a ok with the engine tank?

Hi Eskie,how's that engine purring along? Any misfires? Lol
