RDA Pontus Dripping Tank

[dice57]

You lucky ^#*£%#. I still a bit of a wait for my BD.

well lucky?? hmm, have paid the piper and gotten a few, "not so nice" products, and was really lucky to get an Authentic Big D. before you couldn't. Yeah, those who hesitate to click on "proceed to check out" often find "sorry, no such item in stock" click on notify me when available.

Being a night worker does have some advantages.

Was hoping this would be better than my Flash E Vapor, mostly because of the 3 posts with holes. But no, so far, just not that great. Annoying to fill, loose fitting top cap, and leakage :/

Back to the FEV for me

 

[dice57]

Yeah, there isn't much out there that can preform better than the flashi, truly a great dripper tank. Only thing I have that challenges it is the Estia and the Big D. will both give it a run for the vapor. or something like that. Yeah, a major disappointment. I fill it by unscrewing the bottom end and do a bottom fill, screw and fill hole are totally not needed and impractical.

The Pontus is one of the easiest tanks to fill I have ever used, and that includes the Taifun GT. How are you filling it?

If you are leaking juice, try the other glass window it came with. That fixes the issue for most.

I almost picked up a Flashi, but it looked like a complete pain to build. I will probably pick up a Big D clone though just to see the hype. So far, the Pontus is easily the best RBA I have used. If the Big D is really that much better, I will be surprised (but in vape heaven at the same time).

Filled both ways, 1 by removing screw & other by removing tank. Screw method sucks because you can't just use a juice bottle, tank method sucks because it's threaded AND o-ringed.

My leaking is from the air holes, can't trust it in pocket.

Adding feeder wicks on the FEV is really easy, so building is easy. Filling it is still the easiest of all Attys. I could fill it with a bucket if I had to

I get leaking from the air holes if I don't use enough wick (i.e. cover the area below the coil). The o-rings break in if you keep filling the tank directly so it's really not bad.

I am extremely happy with my Pontus.

The flashi is easy to build, getting the tank transfer wicks just right for low sub ohm vaping can be a bit tricky, but very doable. Hey maybe I just have a craq qc Pontus, but yeah, for me, the Big D is just a MUCH better tanked rda than the pontus, much.

Ok, my unit does auto drip when its 90 plus degrees outside and I'm chain vaping. Inside and in cooler weather, it seems to handle thinnish juice well.

Is that V1 or 1.5?

V1. I have only tried thinned 100% VG juice, and it only happens when it's hot outside and I'm chain vaping at work.

If you keep going on about that Big Dripper, you're going to owe me $40 for the clone you're making me buy just so I can compare them (or maybe $120 if the real thing is that much better than the clone).

Lung hits irritate my lungs so I rarely do them.

More air, less nic and vg, adjust your build accordingly and you should be right as rain, IF you want to do it of course

well, tell ya what, if you don't like the Big D. clone, and is to hard to fill for you, I'll trade you straight across for my Pontus, I'll even put the ohm build you want in it, wick it with Ramie and include 50 ml of dice's House Select Juice, custom blended to your personal preferred VG/PG ratio, and nic mg level. Have 9 flavor to choose from, such as Mad Eye's Pumpkin Juice, Captain Blacks Cinful delight, to English Blackberry Tobacco.

Should be receiving my cloned Big D. this week, so will be able to let ya know how it compares with the Authentic. You can't beat that kind of customer service anywhere And I'm not even selling anything

I know not everyone is a fan of Rip Trippers, but i like his videos and this made me laugh at how true every negative statement he made was.

Anyone want to buy a lightly used Pontus?

I normally like Rip Tripper and I'm definitely not the most experience RBA builder, but he's obviously doing it wrong. Flavor, vapor, and hit are all better than anything else I own (see sig) and it's in a completely different league than the tanks I have. I do have V1, but I have a hard time believing there is that much of a difference between it and V1.5. I would definitely buy another one.

 

[Kemosabe]

rip tripper cracks me up. i dont know if im laughing at him or with him, but those sayings he has, and the "in-your-face" style of announcing is pure hilarity. i wish the SNL writers would watch his videos and make a parody. that would be gold.

God i swear sometimes he has no idea what he's talking about *bangs head against wall* I must have gotten one of the lucky, well made, non-leaky, non-gurgling, better flavor and throat hit than the Big Dripper models lol. (Had a chance to go hands on with the Big Dripper (authentic) and it's built beautifully but designed poorly.

I'm with RIP on this one. I don't like mine either.

Have you received the clone yet?

I'm betting I will love the Big D performance, but I don't think it will be quite as convenient as the Pontus (no glass, filling looks a little more difficult but still not too bad). That juice sounds awesome though.

How is Ramie with drippers? I've read it wicks like crazy but doesn't hold juice well (i.e. perfect for tanks, not the greatest for drippers).

There is something strange going on. It seems everybody either loves this dripping tank or hates it.
