This is the only rba I have, to date, in my arsenal, that doesn't require reading glasses or jeweler's visors to set it up. While I love all the RBA's I have, whether they be 14mm or 22mm, this is the only one I can set up with ease. Thank you for making even the screws and nuts huge enough to see and to grasp. Everything is a delight. I trust the new model will be just as easy?

honestly, i might be the only one who absolutely LOVES this thing. it's my first RBA, unless you count some preparatory fiddling with kanger rebuilds, which i actually found much more difficult. my first setup attempt was perfect, but i didn't really consider the fact that this thing has so many different parts that screw/unscrew in opposing directions. when I would try to get the tight top cap off, i would end up twisting the entire deck, which was bending my coil assembly into a short. after i realized that my coils looked somehow different, I started being more careful when refilling, and now it's as good of a vape as i could really ever expect myself to build. but the real work was on richard's part. well done, man.

yes, guys...i know. top cap is too tight and the air hole kind of sucks, but have you considered just blowing through it when you see a bubble of eliquid inside after a big vape? it's a minor annoyance, but way less annoying than finding ejuice on my chinos. so, i have nothing but a protank to compare this RBA to, but i'm very impressed. now to find another clone that actually matches this thing. any ideas?

I love my Richman. My first RBA and there's something just right about having a Hawaiian RBA on a Filipino mod, island style! I just learned how to wrap a coil and am now running a "micro-coil" on it (not sure the drillbit size, but it was just a tad bit smaller than the wick hole) 30 gauge kanthal, 6 wrap on a nonoxidized 400 mesh wick. Vapes like a dream.

you should polish that thing man! some white jewelers polish clay, a stitched wheel, and a drill and the finishes will be a perfect match! (or just wait for the 2.0 w/ polished finish)
