after several builds and several stripped screws.....
i have to say these are the absolute without a doubt WORST
screws i have ever had on a tank or on a dripper....
ive been obsessed with vaping for 2.5 years and i challenge
anyone to come up with worse screws than these....
i love the vape on this device, but there will be more 30mm tanks soon to
come down the pike....
i mean cmon, no adj airflow, piss poor quality of materials....
for crying out loud, there is even a spare parts kit for when they
fug up....

i dont recommend this tank for purchase..
wait another week or two and a better one will come out
rant over

Not yet. I spoke to one of the employees and they will be getting them in.

Yes, they do. To be fair, I purchased it yesterday and it's nice. There is a major shortage of videos for wicking and other, but the ONE I did find, is perfect. No leaks thus far.
* I tried to upload an image, but it says file too large.

My post was about the accessory kit for the 22mm which they have not released.

No worries brother. Just wanted to clarify.

This might be a stupid question, but I purchased this thing in a hurry and wasn't told too much about it as the store I purchased from is known for having a standoffish staff. My understanding is this is a Rebuildable sub ohm tank, not an RTA? Secondly, what's the difference, if any? I can't seem to find much info on these online.

RTA... Rebuildable Tank Atomizer..... same thing different name. :)

I know this thread is for the 30mm and I have the 22mm, but this is my only real issue with it. I mix my own juice and run rather heavy VG levels as in 70/30 or 80/20... and this always happens with my Alpha...



I love the tank, but the space between the chimney and the glass is just so freaking narrow. Im assuming the 30mm dosent have this issue? Occasionally I get dryish hits from it and Im wondering if it isnt because the air bubbles get trapped and my wicks arent in contact with a good supply of juice.

Same setup, same issue. The only time I'll get dry hits though is just messing around taking 4 or 5 pulls back to back. I wonder if thinning out the wick just a TINY bit would absorb faster and get rid of those bubbles?

well the bubbles will be there no matter what. that is the air entering the tank to replace the juice you vaporize when taking a hit. I tried thining my wicks and it led to leaking as there wasnt enough wick to fill the juice holes. Now if I thin my juice then the bubbles arent as big an issue, but I like my juice to be heavy on the VG... but 50/50 or 60/40 I dont have quite the issue with the bubbles collecting down there.

I do love this RTA though. A lot. Simple, big deck, and easy top fill won me over.
Same. I wanted to get a Mutank and was looking at a couple of other RTAs but then I had a conversation with myself:

"You have the BFT and Griffin and LOVE them. Do you really need anymore?"

"Well, no, I don't need anymore."

"But I do still really want a VCMT. Besides, what would Roxy do?"

"Touche"
