Orcid 4 or Taifun GT Advice-3rd post

[Govols]

This weekend I begin my evaluation on RBA's and/RTA's......I have MUCH to learn in this area! I also have a lot of stuff to buy! I've decided to get the RBA/RTA first...ohms checker, batteries, charging station next, and then lastly the dna 150 Box mod.

The guys at the vape shop said that they will teach me to build singles and doubles and let me come by and practice until i feel safe on my own. I figure this gives me some time to make some good purchase decisions. I'm looking at the Orchid 4 and Taifun GT......The things that are most important to me are 1). Safety & reliability 2). No leaks 3). juice capacity and ease of build....... Thoughts?

Daviedog-Thanks. I'm going to, I just wanted to get an idea for what people thought about those two...The kayfun v4 looks great as well.

it all comes down to what you want...direct lung inhales or mouth to lung inhales. The Orchid is dual coil and a bit trickier to build than the taifun or kayfun. The Orchid has more airflow and more vapor production...flavor is good. It may not be the best to learn on though. Taifuns and kayfuns are single coil with less airflow. Both have great flavor and are easy to set up. If you want a dual coil device, instead of the Orchid, you might want to look into the Billow tank from eciggity and ehpro. It's a bit more forgiving.

Asbestos-Thanks...very helpful. Is it even possible to build a single on an rta that is set up for doubles and just vape singles until you get good enough to build doubles...or is that just a weak vape experience?

Asbestos-I forgot to mention...I strongly prefer mouth to lung since that's the way i used to smoke. I'll do direct lung occasionally just to mix it up...but 90% of the time it's mouth to lung. I mentioned in another thread that i'm going to switch to zero flavor juice but if i ever do switch back to a flavor i think it will likely intensify the taste experience as well (or do think it even matters with an RTA)?

Yes, its possible to build single coils on orchids and other dual coil attys. You just have to get a bit more creative with the wicking.
If you like mouth to lung, get the taifun. Its very easy to set up. Easy to refill and it holds a lot of juice. I loved the Taifuns!

Asbestos -Thanks...How are the Taifun's on leaking?

Just pick up a taifun gt 2 on ebay from (owv12) for a little less then $30 .. they are AWESOME .. I bought one then bought a 2nd one.. they shipped to my house in 3 days!

TopCatJimi-what kind of leaking have you seen?

 

[gotpardon]

Orchid v4 is great. I use it as one of the standby gears.
I just love Billow more for much bigger air holes and raised air holes on the deck.
This one is among gears in duty.

 

[TopCatJimi]

Govols .. I have very little to no leak at all .. I am a bit of a "clean freak" I sometime take a papertowel and whipe around the adjustable airflow holes..but honestly .. there is maybe a drop a day .. not even worth mentioning

I have an orchid 4 and couldn't help but be underwhelmed with flavor and vapor production. Cant speak for the taifun but the orchid does not get a recommendation from me .

Advice like this is like gold...thank you! Now I just have to figure what type of device to get...DNA 40 (vapor shark) with temp control or Sigelei 150w.
