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

OMG, 100W? Great and Congrats! I can never think of doing that feat

100W was all I had to work with. Apparently it could have handled more. I said I would never need more than 100W, but now I'm curious I'm vaping it at 50-60W though for what I feel is the best flavor. Very different atty from anything I've owned before (Aromamizer). With a standard dual coil build it was just limping along at 35W with 2 airholes closed and the other two open only partly. So I decided I needed something that would take advantage of 4 airholes and wake it up. Quad coils seemed to be the answer, but its a very small deck. So quad verticals . Its awake now. I have all 4 airholes wide open and its a surprisingly pleasant vape at 50-60W. It wicks like crazy.

I have settled down with two considerations in my style of vaping ~ (1)I am not into heavy vapor production - and (2)I want to conserve my e-liquids. Thus, lower Ohms and higher wattages do not figure in my modus operandi. Which is why 16W is my limit (420F / 23W in TC). As such, I rebuild most of my attys around the (+/-) 1 Ohm mark.

Interestingly it doesn't seem to be using more e liquid than any of my much tamer dual coil attys. That's always a consideration for me as well. I seem to enjoy the higher priced liquids and don't DIY as I fear anything I create will taste bad in comparison. I've had some single coil attys that aren't all that juice conservative considering they're running much lower power. The Lemo is a juice hog. So were the k4 and SquapeR. All running below 20W. Could be the draw as well. I tend to do very slow, long draws on my lower power builds, but shorter draws on higher power builds. I still think the Erlkonigin is the most conservative atty with juice I've owned. I can take it with me if I'm gone all day and won't run out of juice. So I definitely appreciate that. The Urba is being very conservative for me as well thus far.

Yep, the Erlk, GEM and URBA are three of the most efficient atomizers in my collection.

Has anyone done a nickel build with the URBA? I know the 510 is adjustable, and that can play hob with temperature control (ask most Squape R users).

Not yet, but I don't think it'd be an issue.

Glad (and relieved) to know that.

Me, too. Its going to look so nice with one of my gray sx minis.

Btw, I had finally completed my "mount testing" of the Retail unit and found that it does have an issue with GP Paps. Only with the ones having a GPin. It doesn't drive all the way down and stops short at the topcap leaving a hairline gap.

URBA's 510 seems to be a li'l long. It doesn't have any effect on 99% mods tho. No problems with other self-adjusting spring-loaded 510 mods, just with my Papses. Prolly due to the construction on the GPin, it has only so much tolerance to adjust against both ends.

 

[roxynoodle]

Well, my new base seems to screw onto everything. My first one only screwed onto one mod. So, a major difference.

My Paps is a v 2.5.

 

[smokewell]

Hey guys, I have a dilema. I am torn between the URBA and the GEM. Can anyone give me an insight. I already have an Erlk, a Squape Rs, STm and Lemo 2.

Oh, it will. B'coz Petar has redesigned URBA's 510 lately. It is now similar in size and threads to the usual 510s out there. Since last few weeks all URBAs are going out with the new 510.

These are different systems dear. GEM is my most favored atty right now - but it works exactly by the same principle as the Kayfuns (and it's many iterations). While the URBA typically works by the principle of Gennys, sans the mesh build.

You may like to checkout my reviews of both and get a hint of what to expect. The link is at my signature below.

Ok I will start with URBA and after get a GEM too. I tried the link at the start of this thread by I cannot find the URBA. How can I order?

Pls message the modder @petar k via FB here : Log into Facebook | Facebook or PM me your email ID and I will ask him to contact you.

Pity about the Gem being 21mm. The media blasted finish I could always have professionally removed and make it brushed.

My Rs is perfectly fine!!

 

[smokewell]

Ordered. Now the waiting game begins. I know shipping won't take long cause we are practically neighbors.
