RBA Rants/Venting

[Uma]

Totally missed the part where you were basing your opinion of all Genisis style atomizers on a mini DIDn't clone! Yeah, those things can suck. I never got mine to work either.

haha, I missed that too! That certainly explains a lot of what the poor Wookie went through.
I'll add 3 to the brownie point and cookie for wookie. Well deserved for being plumb bonkers.

My efforts to build a good coil and wick for my aga t+ have been nearly futile so far. I have gotten 2 to work but the flavor and vapor are no where near what I can get from a viv nova, yet. I have faith though, that I just suck at it so far. One day I expect to be able to build an rba that will smoke vaporize a vivi nova

I used a ViVi Nova and the flavor and vapor are NOWHERE near what a nice wrap of 28g kanthal gives me on my T2. You'e doing something wrong...

Yeah I saw the light about a week ago.. RBA Expectations

This vape is just awesome. I've gone through about 7-8 tanks since I got this aga-t+ working right. I've cleaned the coil twice. I have since ordered two aga-t2's and an agi

I don't believe he actually got the brownie point. I think he just suggested that he may be deserving of one. Rest assured, tho, UMA, your three dancing bananas go a long way toward compensating for a requested, yet, somehow, unbestowed brownie point. I, myself, although proud father of a young brownie, sadly find myself neither in possession of any of these heralded "points", nor in any position to hand them out with any authority.

It's a green one too!! Way to go pdib!!! I always enjoy your coil building exercises and it's good to see that others do also.

Wait a sec. I now have Boba's wicking on this DID clone vertical (not inverted). I definitely want my brownie point now.

OK Guys,

I had to update this thread. I had started a new thread to try to work out some flavor issues I was having w/ my DID. This was my post in the other thread.


---------------------------------------
Got my SS Rope 3/32 T304 in the mail today. This stuff is much harder to cut than I thought. Someone suggested wire cutters which was complete fail. Ended using a dremel and cutting wheel.

Pulled the fabric core out and burned it on a torch for a while. Wrapped the part that will be sitting above the deck w/ some 400 mesh. It was a bit long so it went around twice. Wrapped some .5 kanthal ribbon on it. It was wicking real nice. No funny taste. I am vaping Boba's but I still did not enjoy it. It tasted a bit raw as if it was straight out of the bottle. For those of you who know Boba's Bounty the stuff only gets really good when it gets warmer as if it's getting cooked a bit. The flavor profile changes dramatically. Almost sweet and creamy. I was feeling lucky and decided to recoil my wick w/ .8 kanthal and all of a sudden... BAM!

What? You live near Big Ben? BAM, you were transported to the vicinity of Big Ben?

What's up with the fireworks?

Exactly. All of a sudden I was in London. ...? This was not in the description of the DID.

Congratulations, Man! YAY!


Yeah, those DIDs DON-wanna wick, do they? So, its the ss rope that does it, huh?


I been wondering about that ribbon. Do you use round, too? Is the .8 very different from, say 28g or 26?

Apparently if you can roll a decent mesh wick the rope doesnt matter. If you suck like me then the rope makes it stupid proof.

the .8 ribbon is supposed to be similar in resistance to 28 guage. .5 ribbon=30 and .3=32 ish.

 

[pdib]

You know, I even tried one of my twisted ss mesh tube wicks in mine. not good. Whatever. I'm glad you got yours working well.


Man, you really do deserve a brownie point now. . . . . . . . .

 

[pdib]

Here, you go, Bent Wookie. One official Brownie Point. (the only one)

 

[StaircaseWit]

Just gave away my brownie point and replaced it with a bee...

Such a shame.

 

[pdib]

He's not gonna take it. Your brownie point will always be here (slaps his chest) with me, bro.
