RDA Pontus Dripping Tank

[Kemosabe]

heres an interesting one. i just got an email from vapor dna showcasing the Pontus, which is new to me.

looks like an iteration of an inverted 3D style design, only with a larger tank, made from glass.

i'll wait for reviews, but it seems like a cool idea.

Anyone pick one of these up yet? Very interesting but I'm curious how well the juice stays in the tank without leaking.

Alright Im loving that more auto style drippers are being designed :hashbrown: innovations lol

This guy said it would probably leak with anything thinner than 20% PG. Honestly I'd love to vape only high VG but unfortunately most of my favorite flavors comes at 50/50-60/40.
I anyway ordered it because it looks like what I expected the 3D dripper to be.
I have no clue how EHpro/china doing QA, placing 2 holes at the bottom of the tank with no vacuum looks crazy to me

Ordering one as well. This looks awesome... like it might even fit on top of some of my "Tobh-sized" atomizers. I might be able to just grab the top half and throw it on whatever atty i want when i need to get in the car or head out for drinks etc. High hopes. Just worried about the holes as well. Two holes on the bottom... on pretty huge. We will see.

Wasn't able to pull the trigger on this one, but be sure to update this thread once you guys get it, and run it through the mill

Exactly what i want it for! No messing (dangerously) about with a bottle while at a stop light... just push the top down and drip some juice. Can't believe i've never seen this before... unless it's brand new.

from what it appears from video reviews and such, its only been out for a few weeks. definitely on my list for the next purchase. only thing i'd do is get rid of those pesky "tobh" airflow tabs so i can do my preferred center post builds.

i believe it is indeed brand new. and yup, great for the car. why is it that i got tons of red lights before i vaped, but now its all green??

Ah, that must be why i haven't seen anything about it. I bet we'll be hearing a lot more about it soon if it performs well!

I wonder if this will start a new wave of top cap tanks.

Like the base is basically a dripper, wouldn't be hard to recreate the tank portion for other dripppers like IGO Ws type thing

I was actually just talking about the same very thing! This is supposed to be able to fit on the Tobh from all accounts... so something like this... or an even simpler version which just utilized the top most horizontal cap version would be very cool!

The first person that makes a Plume Veil compatible drip-well top cap... will make $$$. I can't imagine the quality vape of the PV with out dripping on the road, at bars etc.

This seems to be the next trend in drippers lol. From what I've heard, CMII (makers of the Zenith) are working on something similar. A tank attachment for the Zenith. I imagine it will work similarly.

so it's an atmomixani 3d only in glass?

#notaclone though, scoff.

The 3D is a bottom "flooding" RDA... Where the Pontus is a top "Dripping" RDA. Similar in result but very different in execution.

After watching some vids on this atty apparently unless you use a super high VG juice it leaks fairly easily out of the tank.

Comparing this to the Subohm Innovations atty which is the same concept:

The Big Dripper RDTA | Sub Ohm Innovations

The SOI one has only a single small hole in the bottom of the tank, where as the pontus has a large hole and a small hole. Apparently the SOI dripper holds juice great, why the heck did they put two holes (and such a big one) on the Pontus? Seems like a very silly design flaw. A single small hole should be ideal to hold pressure, like putting your finger on top a straw to hold liquid inside. Where as the Pontus basically has one hole to let juice out, and another to let air in, which causes leaking.

I'm thinking maybe getting a poly screw and putting it in the big hole would solve the problem. Think I'll wait for the price to drop a bit before I experiment though.

That's been the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on the Pontus. ... did they put two holes on the "drip deck" for lol?! i was thinking inserting a cotton "wick-plug" or something into the larger hole would stop/slow juice leaking out of that one and force juice out the small hole... but you might be on to something...

You could just tap the larger hole and use a small machine screw with o-ring and use that large hole as a juice fill! Which would be damn amazing. Hmmm... ok might have to buy now...
