I have hard time with coil placement on this i still feel like the flavor isn't the best my expectations must be high because yeah sometime I feel most sub ohms taste better then my reload

Might get a bravo i need a 2nd rta to see if its me or my expectations
Coil placement can be tricky on the reload,I find it too restrictive for me at times so I play around with coil placement until it loosens up a bit,still getting occasional leaking,or seping at times as well no matter how I wick it up,especially after filling,usually one corner of the airflow will leak a little,so I roll up a piece of paper towel to a fine point to dry it up,and then it stops,but most of the time it will come back for no apparent reason even though nothing was changed,weird,it would be nice if they come out with v2 with a few improvements like juice flow control and better drip tips ....

My reload seeps usually means I thinned the cotton to much or trimmed it to short

To me kensei is traaaaaasssh
Again too each his own,I have 2 of them and never have issues,I do love the reload but it can be finneky at times which ruins it for me at times,I have my cotton nice and dence and almost touching bottom of juice wells and it still seeps on me at times:-/ but I'll have to disagree with you as to the kensei being trash..

Yeah for me almost touching isn't good always leaks it has to touch the bottom and push it forward so it wicks faster if you push it back it allows juice to just keep flowing and wick cantnkeep up resulting in flooding

For me kensei chamber got stuck broke the tool juice flows to lose came undone In my pocket flavor isn't as good a reload I tried to like it gave it time

Completely touching,interesting I'll have to try it thanks for the tip,what do you mean by pushing it forward? Towards the deck or away from the deck ? ( towards juice slots) sorry to hear about you're kensei,I can see why you think it's trash now,I'd be pretty ...... off too if that happened..

You know that little groove in the juice slot on the block I push the cotton away from that what I do is if get seeping is roll a little ball and put it in that grove to still soak up some juice helps! Just don't upside down your tank it might fall out haha

One thing i learned to do was wet the wick before trimming it in juice slot let's you really know how long it is

Oh I think I know what you mean,you make you're wicks touch bottom,then push the wicks away a little with something pointy so juice can flow better? Is that correct? I do love my reload but I break in sweats when I have to rewick it,about coil position were do you run yours? I run mine so middle of the coils is level with top of the airflow post,and just away from the post so I can fit my coil master coil rod tip ( weird reference but that's what I use lol) I don't like it too restrictive or too loose...

Everyone says to have them low I prefer mine higher

I'm dude for a rewick next time I do I will snap a pic of my coils

Yeah I don't push the cotton towards the block towards my chest is what I do leave that grove with some space if need be i roll a tiny cotton ball and put it there
Towards your chest ? Am confused sorry,so once your wicks are in place and touching bottom,you just push the cotton on the bottom back just a little for juice to flow better,is that correct? Sorry for all the questions but am due for a rewick myself and want to make sure I use you're tactic correctly,how far away from the side of the post do you have your coils ?

So I finally pulled the trigger on an authentic Reload RTA and I couldn't be more impressed with the flavor. I'm by no means an expert builder and only own one other RBA (EXO RTA). I'm proud that I didn't get a single leak or dry hit on my very first build on this beast! I had honestly expected it to be harder given all the posts. I do get a lot of condensation though but have been able to remedy this by taking a longer draw after releasing the fire button.

Anyways, I wanted to ask about the difference between the authentic and the clone? I know there's like 12 different clones out there, but is there any clear way we can differentiate between an authentic and a clone? The reason I'm asking is that the knurling on my top cap is pretty sharp and it was packaged in the black Reload RDA box and not the green one. I haven't had any leaking (o-ring) issues or funky smell. I just wanted to make sure that I didn't get ripped off after dropping $70!! It's possible I'm just being paranoid that it may have been repackaged in an "Authentic Reload RDA" box.
The Reload is my favorite =<25mm tank, and I can't get enough of it. As far as comparison to the Clone, I bought a couple of Kindbright Clones to compare, they're not bad but the Authentics are much better build quality and ended up giving the Clones away. I have 4 Authentics and very happy with them.

Wow great pics thanks man,same situation for me,bought a couple of clones but ended up bying 3 authentics and I agree with you that quality is much better especially the o rings,but I still have issues coiling it and wicking it from time to time,I noticed your wicks are not touching the bottom of you're deck ! Any seeping or leaking on your end when filling it up by chance ?
