RTAs for a restricted lung hit

[Opinionated]

Agreed. I've been contemplating the Siren for a while, but I found my SJMY Doggy in the meantime, and it's become my go-to, at least for the time being. That spinning AFC ring is an annoyance I can live with. What I would like to have is an rta with an adjustable internal airflow intake opening, so that every vaper can dial in the exact size they want--from tight MTL to wide open DTL. I'm sure it can be done.

I've not tried that doggy but I was under the impression it was more MTL than RL...

Your right, adjustable inner airflow as well as adjustable outer should do the trick..

although, it would never be able to do everyone because the wicking ports (or wells) need to be larger for the DL people - more power = more juice so they need larger wicking ports.

As it is I'm not sure whether I'd need to enlarge those channels on the Siren if I ended up modifying the Siren to suit me. I don't think I'd have to but you never know.

But yeah, at the very least with adjustable inner airflow they could do two perfect rta's that really would cover everyone..

The SJMY version has a larger (2.3 mm) hole--that's just right for me. May be too tight for you, though. The SXK Doggy is tighter--1.6 mm, I believe.

Right.

I might try that then, I'm using 2.5 on the Hastur, so it doesn't seem much smaller.. might not even notice.

Well see how this Silverplay goes first.. I really am hopeful with this one. From everything I've seen and heard so far it might be exactly what I'm looking for...

Oh, I've got 2 of them. They're called the Eleaf Lemo V1.

I ordered a wotofo serpent elevate RTA - from what I've heard on here, it's slightly restricted. I also wanted to try a top-air rta
I feel like I'm on a never ending hunt for an RTA that is better than a sjmy doggy rta

Hah! I forgot! I have a Lemo Drop. Some experts here recommended using purple Locktite (had to be purple) to stop that wheel from spinning uncontrollably. So yes, It is possible!

I used an o-Ring slid on under the adjuster. Worked kinda.

I could never really figure out where I was with that adjuster. Apparently the Lemo 2 fixed all kinds of problems plaguing the earlier versions. I never got one, though. I fell in love with my K4.

The augvape intake is my daily, take to work, go fishing, out and about rta. It doesnt leak, quite restricted(comparatively) even wide open.
The Horus is probably my favourite top air right now, probably my favourite rta all round...(that and the Intake ), easy to wick flavourful,huge range on the airflow, no leaking.
I like all the top airflow tanks I have including the Elevate and could be happy with any one of them if I had to be.....but the horus and intake really suit me and get all the use.
What started me on a restricted lung and then lead me a more to wide open vape was the Advken Manta MTL rta. I couldnt get a satisfactory tight mtl draw out of it so I just went with the range of AF it offered and came to like it wide open. That was the end of tight, and even loose, mtl for me.

You can consider Damn Vape Fresia RTA. Two youtube reviews I saw claim that it is the first RTA that can provide both tight MTL and RL without compromising one or the other. This RTA features world's first T.I.T. (Tube In Tube) AFC system. You can switch freely between MTL and restrictive lung through AFC ring, but without changing any airflow reducer / cube. I have ordered one so in a few weeks I will know how it works for me ( I like loose MTL and RL). Basically air flow when set to mtl comes through center tube and when set to RL is going through center tube and around center tube.

Now that is interesting, I'd love to hear from you after you've tried it.

The price isn't bad at all..

Veeeeeeery interesting indeed. And certainly an improvement over Lemo's spinning wheel.

Off to watch some videos. Thanks for the info! And please, share your impressions with us here.

I know you are a big fan of the RL draw - whats other RTAs have you tried that work?

I like RL but I use it rather as loose MTL. I hate tight draw...my favorite atties did not change much...SMJY Doggy, Siren2 are still most used RTAs although I use Gotank and my modified Uwell RBA sometimes. I quite often use my Nautilus2 with BVC 0,7ohm coils and although Nautilus2 is definitelly MTL wide open can provide RL draw that is very satisfying for me... in regards to draw smoothness no single RTA I own can beat Nautilus vertical coil.
For some unknown reason I got strong feelings that Damn Vape Fresia got a chance to become competitor to my favorites... we will see ...I will get it at the end of this month so I will share my findings.

I watched 3 videos last night (couldn't get through Rip Trippers review--what happened to this guy?--he used to be quite good, years ago) and I'm somewhat confused. If I understand it correctly, the MTL airflow goes through the tube under the coil, while DL goes both through the tube and outside the tube? So how does it reach the coil? If it just flows through the chamber and not directly through the coil, how does that work?

What did you do to modify the rba , if it’s for the uwell crown?

I found this diagram/picture in one of the reviews.

 

[Katya]

Exactly! That's why I question this design--again, on paper...

It looks like the DL air flow sort of bypasses the coil itself, or at least the center part of the coil. And since the coil heats up from the center out and then cools down from the outside edges back into the center, it's the center of the coil that stays hot the longest and needs the strongest blast of air to keep it heating up and cooling down evenly. I don't see how that outside air flow can help with that. I honestly don't know.

But, of course, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Notice I said diagram, not explanation . I’d have to look with a little more attention. If both mtl and dl use the center tube, you’ll get af to the right spot on the coil. Won’t the dl af just mute flavor? I’m interested to see what the final verdict is
