PICTORIAL: *The URBA* ~A new RTA by Petar K

[daveid777]

Check out my blinged out URBA. Glass was purchased from IBTanked, custom cut, had to find new thicker orings, but now it's nice and snug.

^ Beautiful, I'm liking it @daveid777

Me too, since it was a custom order I had to get a few pieces done, so I also have a frosty white tank, a black to white swirl, and he threw in another blue that was messed up painting but still looks cool. Thinking I need another URBA for some of this glass.

I have been running the URBA for a few days with NiFe70 .34 3mm coil wicked with rayon and it seems to be working fine in TC. I like this tank a lot. Nice throat hit and decent vapor. Not the best flavor but the most nic hit of all my atties.

how did you fix the 510 screw issue??

 

[smokewell]

I used a small oring on the 510 using a screw found in a toolbox that is a bit longer. I still cannot use Ni200 accurately. I use NiFe70 because of it's higher resistance and tolerance to coils touching.

Hmm. I found one for sale in Uk but dont like the sound of that. I suspect the static resistance is prertty large also...I'll think on that but thanks for the update!

It's a nice tank but not specifically designed for TC. You can get it to work but not without some effort. It does have nice dense vapor production.

Hey @smokewell just wondering how you are getting on with the Urba and Tc vaping. Did you figure out a solution to the wobbly 510 issue??

 

[smokewell]

Nope, the URBA lays in my atty cemetery along with many other tanks. Le magister seems to have taken it's place. Origen MKii is also better at TC. The URBA needs a couple of revisions, improvements to be usable.

thanks for the update. I was just about to pull the trrigger on one but I think i will def abandon the urba for the time being until Petar addresses (or doesnt) the TC stability issue..I have been looking for a Magister but unicorn .... doesnt cover it...I guess they arent making any more either which is a shame! Oh well!
cheers

Just talked to Petar via FB messenger. He is sending one along tomorrow. I plan to use a Ti coil. Has anyone tried a mesh or ss cable to capillary feed the cotton wick?

I tried once, but rolled the mesh wrong for a good U wick. I know now how I should've done it so I will try again one of these days. Let us know how it goes

I sure will. I will feed two "stingers" of 500 mesh to the bottom of the tank. Cut them off between 2mm - 4mm above the deck floor. Wick the coil with cotton and drop the tails into the deck well. I don't know if I will have to oxidize the mesh because it will not touch the coils at'all. Probably not though unless oxidization aids the capillary action. I may or may not, depending on the clearance of the stingers to the inside wall wrap the stingers with one of the thin sheets of cotton padding I usually discard during normal wicking.

Doing it that way I'm thinking not because it won't be part of the positive electrical connection.
