RichMan Hybrid

[evosil98]

Hey Everyone, Sorry for the late reopening. It has been a very busy few months. I moved, got married, went on a honeymoon, and a bunch of other unexpected headaches. LOL

RichMan Vapors will slowly bring back a few products but we are still slowly getting to normal. I do apologize for all the inconveniences. Happy vaping everyone.

Glad you are back, and safe, and happily hitched! I hope to be placing an order with you pretty soon!

Hello everyone, I just purchased a richman hybrid and am awaiting its arrival. ; ). I would greatly appreciate if I could get some recommendations for IMR 18650 batteries and a charger. Richman recommends "quality" batteries. Also, do I need "protected" batteries, meaning I don't believe the Richman hybrid is variable voltage(don't think so-not an issue though) and I don't know if it has short circuit protection. Lastly button top or flat top? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Since the Rickman Hybrid has an adjustable positive pin, both type batteries (button and flat top) work with no problems. I'd recommend IMR batteries. I use AW and Efest batteries (ONLY IMR). You can use batteries with built in circuit protection. For the price, the Intellicharger (I2 or I4) is hard to beat.

There is no built-in short circuit protection as it is a fully mechanical mod.

The Richman is a great device and well made. You won't be disappointed.

Please help, just got my richman hybrid in the mail. Used 400 mesh screen. Wrapped kanthal 32 wire around the screen, positive and negative post. The minute I hit the "burn button" the wire flashes orange and breaks. Tried this 3 times. Ugh!! Help!!

 

[Benji5981]

Also, the "fire" button on the bottom (gold) seems to stick far out, watched videos where you just spin the bottom for easy "on-off" please help really want to enjoy this device

Rich, Glad you are back & safe. Don't kow about the married part.LOL I have been married 3 times & this one has lasted 18 years. Pretty good huh?
I now o=know why you haven't replie dto my e-mails.
I received my hybrid today & after a inspection made a wick & coil & have been vaping it all afternoon.
I am satisfied with the unit so far & will leave a review on the website in a few days after I have had a chance to put it through it's paces. so to speak.

A follow up to my earlier post. Make sure everything is tight on the uint when unboxing. The firing screw in the switch & the tank is screwed together as mine became loose on about the third tank of juice.
Other than that the lock ring is slick but can get tightened when you spin it to lock &when up unscrew it the whole switch will try to come out.

I admit.... I've been vaping on my Kayfuns & Aqua atties on top of my Nemesis mods for the past few months & neglecting my #074 Richman Hybrid. But over the weekend I picked it up, cleaned it, built a .08 Kanthal micro-coil with a cotton wick & popped in a 30 amp Sony 18650 battery... It was "Vapor Bliss", as if I got her out of the mail for the first time, all over again. The Richman Hybrid was & is my 1st "High End" mod & my 1st "Hybrid".... And I will never sell or trade this outstanding mod. It just doesn't get any better than this...lol Hey Rich.... How about making the 1st DNA 20 hybrid mod ? Just an idea I'd like to throw out there....lol...But seriously guys, this mod is an outstanding work of art & a honor to own, one of the best hybrid mods on the market & It just don't get any better than this.. Neither the Nobel or the Pure can even come close to what the Richman Hybrid puts out there, in craftsmanship, vapor production, throat hit or flavor...I can't say enough, how much I love this mod & what a blessing it is to own one...Happy Vapes All Around Vapor Heads... Its Hump Day & there's no better vapor than this....lol Vape Safe Everybody !!!

Congrats and glad to hear you're back. I've been visiting your site for the last couple months hoping it'd be back up. I'll look forward to picking up one of your rebuildables

Literally just placed an order for a Richman Hybrid. Can't wait!!!

I was going to start putting dough away for a DNA30 device but I realized that I'm more of a genesis-type guy, and I adore my iHybrid Pure. So, this'll be my second legit hybrid! I'm nearly giddy with antici.....pation.

Got mine yesterday and am thoroughly pleased. The only minor, minor complaint is that the top cap is slightly lighter shade of gray. I got the matte finish. Here's a few photos, including the quick (and VERY easy) build.

I purchased one of these over a month ago. I'm using SS wicks, and using the techniques I've used in my other genesis type attys for a couple of years. The build is really great, but I get a very strong metallic taste that I cannot get rid of. It's not the sharp metallic taste you get when you have a short in your coil, but something I just cannot identify. I have cleaned the device 3 times now and made 3 new SS wicks, and the metallic taste is still quite strong. It overpowers my peach/apple juice. The same juice and coils that produce a wonderful vape in my other devices is completely masked by the metallic taste in this device. Does anyone know what is going on?

I do notice that voltage drop in this device is much smaller than for example my Zen devices. In those devices, I use 1-ohm coils. As I increase the resistance of the coils in this device, the metallic taste gets weaker. I'm using 2.5-ohm coils now. That's another problem I have--the height difference between the posts would be much better if it was 2-3mm longer, so I could wrap more coils. But still, I shouldn't be having to do this. I'm baffled.

Thanks for any insight.

Has anyone had the top, bottom or center sleeve stripping the threads? Mine seems to have stripped threads after cleaning. Have e-mailed Rich but have not received a reply yet. Hoping I can get replacement parts as I like the hybrid. Also how do you get the resistance down when using 28 gauge wire. Have to have at least 5 wraps to get below 1.2 ohm coils.

Later,

I just do a 3-wrap. That's around .6 Ohm. That's how I build all my genesis attys.
