I am being 100% sincere when I say that I own a couple of $165 RBAs and this AB is every bit as good on all fronts. I am very honest w Chop, I dont sugar coat anything. I will bring regular updates as we vape along here.

Well then I'm going to put the juice up for a couple weeks and then it will be heaven in a bottle.

Yep Ken has been one of my biggest critics and I say that in a good way.Only suggestions how to improve over all.Thanks Ken for all the pain in the .... PM's lol that changed some must needed things.I also mean that in a respectful and good way.

I'm gonna see how the tank holds up if i have trouble with any juice i'll use polypropylene nothing cracks that i have replaced many of my bella tanks with it i also cut bigger lengths co i can use xl cartos in them more juice.Just about all vendors of tanks use the polycarbonate witch can crack i think most use it because it is crystal clear.The one i'm talking about looks more frosted clear.It is used on dct tanks now thats the only ones i believe.
Hey chopper or ken what is the id measurements on these?

I have both well had both type of tubes.I had both in clear which I'm now out of the poly-carbonate clear but I have plenty frosted clear polypropylene which is what I'm sending out now.The smoke tubes are the same deal but I do have a few of the poly-carbonate left.Far as the ID I'm without a caliber to measure right now.I had it all wrote down but in the move some stuff I cannot find,including someones juice order which I know have to re-make.Maybe Ken can chime in on that for you.

Sooo... before I start selling blood to get one of these Atom Bombs, is there any update on the glass tube for the tank?

Not yet the company I sent samples to has not let me know anything yet.I will call them tomorrow and ask for a update.Amber B sent me one to test and its just a tad to big.I will try another o ring and see if that helps.That reminds me I need to contact her.

LOL Well I'll hold out just a little longer I guess... I'm really hoping for the glass...


hi, chopper! while you're making a to-do list, would you please consider a short video on how to roll the mesh your way? especially now that there is a little bend in the top ;)

i'm sure lots of people would find that helpful!

Putting a bend in the mesh is easy, if you roll it at a 45 degree bias from the grain.

thankfully from what I understand wicks last a while in these so I should be ok for a bit when I get mine

I use a SS Mesh wick in my Mark-T, and I'm still using the same wick I first made on it. SS Mesh is as good as new after a rinse and a dry burn. When the coil pops(which is rare), I wrap a new coil on the same mesh and keep going. I would imagine the same would be true for most if not all RBA's using mesh.

thanks for the info, my limited experience rebuilding has been with cotton wicks so far, so I am really looking forward to this

Just wanted to let everyone know , that I will not be able to send extra Kanthal with orders due to my kanthal wire shipment came in
wrong, I had to order from a different supplier. Once I get my correct Kanthal in I will send a little extra in orders. I do apologize.
Thank you and have a great day.
