I need to wash it before I can build. It doesn't feel like it has the quality of the Origen for instance. Doesn't quite sit flush on the SX (possible reason below.)

Flash makes the cap look blue-ish. It's black.

There's a little o-ring around the pin which might be holding it not flush with the deck.

Will build it this weekend.

Damn I'm super jealous!! I was waiting till tomorrow to buy the shingen and the mini volt. But maybe I will wait until you build it first and report back before I buy it. Unless my spending gets the better of me lol which wouldn't be a surprise even though I should really wait since I've been burned so many times on rda's.

For those of you with the Reuleaux RX200, Wismec has released firmware update 3.0 which allows for custom TCR now :D

Also my Mini Volt and LowPro came in. Jesus, building on this LowPro is fkn ridiculous. Any pointers from anyone who's actually built in one? Trying to get a single coil going around 0.8ohm using nicrhome80 to use on the MV.
Heads up on getting that insulator wet with juice while building it.....good luck!! That thing is gonna swing back and forth the whole time. Try to build it as dry as you can.

i use around 26G kanthal 5 or 6 loops on a 2.5mm ID if i remember it correctly and build it nearest to the airflow, thats where im getting the best flavor out of it....

sadly it's hard to build and harder to wick, and i just dont feel the vape im getting from it is worth it that's why i dispose it... =(

I finally got a build in and was immediately disappointed. Mostly because single coils aren't enough for me but partly because it was a b!tch to get in. After an hour of fiddling with it, i was able to get a spaced 8 wrap 26ga n80 coil that i ended up running diagonally in the center (from bottom left post to top right post. I vaped it for a few min and set it down. I will try it again later with some kanthal and run it close to the airflow as recommended. I just couldnt understand the concept of building it that low in the chamber. Also, the trap screws are just barely not big enough to trap the 26ga, so I had to keep taking it out to bend the leads so it would trap them.

That was another one of the problems I forgot to mention. The screws barely even trap the leads as is. The low pro is a piece of sh*t as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't even take one for free. At this point it goes on the list of banned rda's for me. I stripped the positive pin the 2nd day I had it cause the damn deck kept sliding around.

I love how ecig city has the mini volt and low pro combo in stock, but the mini volt by itself is out of stock. Makes no sense. It's not like this is a combo that council of vapor set up, this is ecig city's so it's not like they can't separate them. Still though, it's cheaper as a combo then some sites have the mini volt by itself. I still might get it and gladly throw the low pro where it belongs, in the trash.

Hatty RDA by Blitz is at ecig.com for ~$20. Using the JP code (vapedeals) brings the total with shipping to $22.76.
Sick deal. I just got mine today. running dual tigrer claptons , .35 ohms, 90 watts, just a slit of the side airflow open and it's really really good.

I pushed the wicks to the center and I can drip 20 drops and not a chance of leaking. No removal of the cap, just right down the chuffy pipe! I say get it!

:lol:
You all need to check this out! Tank lovers or not this is pretty cool and seems like a nice investment, I wonder how it vapes. Haven't seen anything on it until now. @Mr.Mann

Until they release the msds info on the materials used and release more information on TCR to run in TC mode, and the price comes down ~$100, I'll pass :lol:

I actually looked it up, I got too excited when I saw it and posted it. I tried to come back and delete the post entirely but I couldn't. I like the idea and everything but I didn't like what I read on the other sites.

Here, read this. They mention everything about the temp control and I think it's made of ceramic and tungsten? I think....

So did anyone in here ever get one of those solstice rda's? I've been reading about it being compared to the hobo 3.1 a lot lately and it's got me intrigued. And the price drop has also peaked my interest especially now since the hobos are damn near extinct.
