thank you Black wings for digging around for me. That is a very cheap price. I plan to stick with kangertech but this would be good for me to stock pile for my sister who isn't ready right now for vaping.
Wise choice.
Your not alone either. I keep a vape apocalypse box with a couple of nautilus mini 's with 10 boxes of coils and an old kayfun with a few spools of wire and bag of cotton, two innokin DNA 20 mods and a collection of juice that gets rotated every nine months, lol.
Just in case.

    I'm really loving the flavor off this Hugsvape Lotus RTA. The airflow is very smooth closed off or wide open. My Freedom Smokes has it for $20.66 with 10% off coupon code VAPECRAWLER10. Lotus RTA by Hugsvape

    I know I am taking the vanguard position in ordering an Ammit 4ml. It will be boating its way here. I hope it works out.
    Quite a few over here are big fans of the summit rta.
    I liked the rda but it didn't top my strike 18's so never got much use.
    Look forward to your thoughts.

    Actually, they are hard to find because they are so old. I had to wade through the FT swamp to get the "real" one that was sold in the U.S. stores. 2-3 weeks, I suppose. I will write it up. in the Geekvape Ammit 4ml threat under RTAs.
    Mad it takes so long to you.
    For a couple of years ft hasn't taken more than 10days and 99% has arrived precisely in seven days, like clockwork.
    If your after another. Sourcemore do them (they have the stainless ones in the eu warehouse for Euro readers who want three day delivery). The HK warehouse has them all in stock I believe for a little over $16. I can vouch for the excellent delivery too.

    Keep us updated.

    My hotcig centaur mini RTA has touched down in NZ - should be here one day this week :D

    There's so little info out there on this RTA - considering it's got such a small profile:
    Diameter 24mm
    Height excluding drip tip: 25mm for straight glass, 30mm for bubble glass extension.

    I decided to revisit this thread because I just got a Silverplay. Hoping to build it tomorrow. I'm psyched about the retro style deck ("I thought Hurricane season was over." - SMM). I almost bought a Hurricane Jr. from FT last year. I have high hopes and juice a steeping. Everything's about ready:banana:

    I made just one mistake with the Silverplay. I put in a new flavor that I'm not familiar with so no way to make a comparison. I couldn't help myself, wanting to try something new. But.....I can say that the AF is smooth (small honeycomb insert, AF ring wide open), wicking beautifully, no leaks/condensation. If I find the flavor to be as good as the Prime it's a keeper.

    'OK folks, today we are bringing you the Centaur Mini RTA from Hotcig'

    Just kidding, and I wish I had Vic's accent instead of a kiwi one ;)

    I'm only on day 1 - thoughts so far:

    Bad - only bad point this RTA has, is frickin TINY hex screws, as in TINY. It comes with a TINY Allen key. But I'm ordering replacement screws asap as I'm really good at stripping hex heads :rolleyes:

    Good -

    Draw/airflow is just AWESOME. It sounds like a doggy RTA (grunty), vape is almost identical to the sjmy doggy RTA. It's slightly more airier wide open, but not by much. This is very definitely a loose mtl/very restricted lung hit RTA - so @Katya don't get put off by the 3mm id airflow hole. It has plenty of airflow options to tighten the draw.

    It has a very small chamber and the chimney to the chamber is also tiny, which takes away a lot of its airiness.

    Flavour is spot on with the doggy and Fresia RTAs.

    Easy to drop a coil in - two minute procedure (if you don't strip the hex screws :rolleyes:)

    I'm still playing with the wicking, I rayonised it for my first build, which is it's training wheels ;)

    No leaks or gurgles, but we are only on day 1

    Well, I never thought of that. Now I'll always be reading your posts with that accent in my head, and be repeatedly reminded of Flight of the Concords.

    Nothing wrong with a kiwi accent. I used to get to visit many countries while touring and new Zealand used to very much remind me of Scotland.
    Nice write up.

    Here's a more famous kiwi woman ;)



    And here's the hotcig centaur mini in 2ml mode:

    I still think the Finn brother's are my favourite kiwi's.
    Don't think they know much about vaping though.
    I could be wrong though. Maybe the next album will be stabwood face.

    Just in case you guy's missed it.
    I was astounded by the wicking material that came with the vapefly galaxies last year and how well it wicked.
    Been using it since (generally a muji/labo user with some cotton bacon for big atties).
    It has the shoe lace ends for easy wicking and comes in coil sizes (you need to thin it out for lighter gauge single wire coils)
    It has wicked like a champ on everything. Even the most fussy tanks.
    Worth trying. Vapefly firebolt. Colour me impressed.
