Hi everyone! Glad to see vaping is alive in SA. :vapor: My arsenal: eVic, 2 x Lavatubes, bottom trigger telescopic mod, eGo-T upgrade 9oomAh and couple of eGo 1000mAh VV twists. My favourite clearomizers at the moment: Vivi Nova's, EVOD BCC and the brand new Kangertech Protank... awesome and solid! Juices: Turkish Tobacco, Peach Rooibos, Banana Cream, Berry Blaze, Vanilla Custard...

Okay so I got some vapemail the other day, thought I'd share my thoughts for those who care:

Kanger Protank: this thing is just awesome, great flavour, doesn't leak. Definitely going to be my go-to out-and-about tank. As soon as I get some silica I'll be rebuilding wick and coils for it too!

Aga T2: I managed to roll a fairly decent mesh wick and I've wrapped a 1.7ohm coil for it too. Such a clean vape, very different from the silica-based wicks I'm used to. A bit bulky to carry around, though. And it leaks if you don't baby it and keep it upright. That being said, this thing looks promising and I'll definitely be messing around with it some more.

Igo-L: I started on this one, really simple to get a working wick and coil setup fairly quickly. Dripping is a pain when you're on the go, so this little beauty will probably end up being my "juice tester" RBA.

Sigelei Flat Top Z-Max Telescopic: This mod is a thing of beauty, nicest one I've owned so far. Variable wattage and short protection means I can test my noobie coils on this thing without blowing something up. Think I'll get a multimeter soon though. The mod is a teensy bit long if you use 18650s, looks way sexy in 18350 mode though.

Big ups to Clouds of Vapor for shipping my stuff relatively quickly to SA and very good customer service too! They even threw in some extra mesh for me on request, even though they were technically out of stock. Lesson learned: USPS Priority International doesn't track after it leaves the US, so if you're neurotic like me, use USPS Express International if you're worried about SAPO "losing" your package.

I must admit I was expecting a bit more of a "night and day" experience with the RBAs, but I should probably play around a bit more. I must say that the Protank really gives a top-notch vaping experience right out of the box. Not quite the "clean" vape you get with a mesh wick on a genny, but given the fact that it is dependable and leak-free, I think the trade-off is minimal. I see eciggies are selling these locally now, so no more weeks of waiting!

Now that I have this nice setup, I'm quite curious about "proper" juice. My tried and trusted Liqua flavours taste a bit "thin" on the Aga T2... Oupa, I'll be checking out your juices soon, I know I still owe you an e-mail :)

No worries! Anyone wanting to try my flavours, drop me an email ( ecigcapetown at gmail dot com )for available flavours, sizes and prices. Hopefully my site will be up soon.

Oombok I agree with you, the Protank is an excellent tank out of the box! My fav setup is Protank on eVic with short eGo-T Upgrade tube. Really exceeded my expectations. I haven't tried Genesis style RBA's yet, but have a few Aga T2's, some kanthal and ss mesh on the way. It is taking a hell of a long time though... got it at stormy's vapor cellar. But from what I paid for shipping, I suspect it's coming by boat, that's if our good friends at SAPO haven't "misplaced it".
 
Glad to hear you're enjoying the Protank man! You might remember me, lawyer-type dude, met you at the foreshore to get some juice and an eGo-T control head (Afrikaanse mannetjie!). I'm loving this Sigelei Telescopic Z-Max with the Protank, I can imagine you're loving it on the evic too. I'm still struggling with the aga, maybe we should do a workshop one weekend and see how far we get. Can you do a deal on 5ml sample bottles of all your flavours? I'd really be interested, we can do a 7:30am shady foreshore deal again hehehe.

With the Aga, just persevere guys. What worked for me in the end is the Petar K method. Just get exactly the right size drill bit. Also, if you can get some 30AWG Kanthal, it's so much easier than the 32. Oxidise the wick well. If you're getting hot spots or incorrect resistance readings just twist the wick a bit or get a pick and nudge the coils. Once you get it, you'll be able to repeat it over and over.

Hahaha... I remember. Cool, I will play around a bit once I receive my aga and then we can setup a vape-meet or something to mess around with the RBA's and taste some juice (and maybe taste some beer :p)... we can also pull in a few other interested "hobbyists" as well.

I'll work on a sampler pack with 3ml or 5ml bottles. Drop me an email if you interested and I'll let you know when I have a deal ready.
