Nice, i got the velocity on top on my istick100w right now. great rda, soooo easy to build!!Velocity clone on a sig150 is the daily driver, and that's out of everything there
I have a Velocity, but it's modded BF, so I keep it on the Reo. The Reo being a one battery mech, I can't get too wild on builds in it. Right now, if memory serves, it's wearing short loop 26/32 Claptons at about .5 and a horseshoe wick. There's a pic of that build in my previous post. I really like the Mutation V4 myself, even though I generally don't much care for bottom air drippers because they weep. Still, I have 3 V4s; they're really versatile. I have one built .7 slick wire 28s for the old lady, another with .3x.8/32 Aliens so low I only dare to run it on a regulated mod, and still another built .4 26/32 Claptons on my Tree of Life. My favorite RDA-- as if such a thing existed; favorite for what purpose?-- is probably the Wotofo Sapor. Top air, but airy enough for cloud; can close it down and coil it as a flavor chaser too. I have one of those on the Wotofo Phantom coiled .6 with 28 SS316. Running it at half air the flavor will make your eyes water. I've got my desktop DIY Apple-Cinnamon in it. I didn't know I could make a juice that good, lol.
The transparent box next to the IPV3?I've posted this one before, but I like posting pictures!
Honestly, too much to list, but if you have any questions, ask away!
good to know man, thanks! I'm actually still relatively new to vaping. i'm a fast learner but still a lot to be learned! but everyone i know that vapes keeps telling me nothing will outdo a mech for cloud power and tricks? is this simpley untrue? i mean my istick pumps out 100w but its still not getting near what i'm seeing from mech mods..i just want a mod thats good for it all, clouds, tricks, casual vaping. and i know the rda has a lot to do with it to. any ideas then besides a mech? cause i was looking into getting a dimitri? yay or nay?
A Dimitri is a nice parallel box. If I were into serious cloud, I'd want one with a PEEK insulator rather than Delrin as PEEK will withstand higher temps, but that's a minor quibble. The reason you see cloud competitors use mechs is because mechs are required in competition. (I always thought they did that to stop some n00b from showing up with a DNA200 and blowing their doors off, but that's just a guess.) However, if you are not going to enter any competitions, you just want it for casual vaping, a regulated is definitely the way to go. It's just way more powerful than anything you can get with a mech short of 5 or 6 batteries. The cloud those guys get is because they build better coils than you, not because they have a more powerful mod. Also, because they are power limited on a mech, and are using massive coils, they get huge ramp time (the time it takes for the coil to get hot enough to make vapor). That's why you see them push the button, wait a while, then exhale into the drip tip before drawing. No sense holding you lungs empty for 2-3 seconds while you wait for the coils to get hot, and blowing vapor out the air holes tells you it's ready. What makes vapor is power pumped out from the coil surface (mW/mm^2) in contact with wet wick. Savvy Steam Engine? If not, go and look, then learn how to use the "heat flux" figures in the right-hand "results" box on the coil wrapping page. What you want is a lot of surface area-- that's why those dudes use Claptons and Aliens and pay out the Wazoo for Twisted Messes coils-- and then pump some watts through it. You can buy an RX200 from VapeNW for 10 bucks less than a Dimitri, too. Bear in mind, a .15 coil-- your lower limit-- is dangerous on a mech, and not too efficient. They waste a lot of power. Once you get below about .25 on a mech-- never try that on one battery, it'll blow; you need at least 2 to get under .4 or so-- voltage drop rears it's ugly head and you start to waste power instead of use it.
