@diagrammatiks how are you liking your Pandora Dot rba?

love it. so easy to build. hasn't leaked all over the place. no stupid afc pins. Honestly, I'm so allergic to afc pins now. I never want another baggy of afc pins.

I also have an augese eraaio that I really like. Both my dot styles seem a lot less fiddly then the Boro bridges.

I'm still waiting on the 909modify. That one has gotten nothing but good reviews.

That being said I do like my Boro sized pioneer. Once you figure it out you'll probably like it.

Don't use too much cotton. I dunno if the dot sized one has like the inside well inside the well. But you're not supposed to stuff your cotton all the way into the inside well.

Good morning Shiny's
Been awhile since I jumped on a bandwagon so broke down and ordered some upland reserve from coil clout during a sale. So far I'm pleased; break in is very short and wicks well out the gate. Now to see how long it holds up.

Ive never heard of that store. Is coil clout in the US or a Chinese shop?

nvm I just found it. Kinda pricey even to me lol!

That's why I chose it for you. I remembered that I posted a video of "That's When I Reach for My Revolver" a while back and we bonded over our mutual affection for the Boston music scene in the eighties.

As I was writing that I was thinking there was something similar in my memory about that band with someone here!

you’ve got a great memory! I’m so jealous!

    I built @Fredman1's Kumo RDTA this morning and I am so impressed with it.

    KumoWick.jpg

    A wonky 2.5mm id 30*2/40 ni80 and a 2 sec. wicking job

    As you guys have said, the airflow is so super smooth. And I was pleasantly surprised how much airflow there is, with just one side. But with an 810 dt or my 8mm id 510s, it's spot on.

    The flavour is fantastic. I'm playing around with the coil height, as I know it can get even better. With a 2.5mm id I raised it pretty high - but it may be too high.

    Any help will gratefully received!



    My overall summary: It's just a frickin awesome rdta.

    PS: Thank you Fred :wub:

    I have my coil set pretty close to the airflow. It's about 1.5mm away from the AF and raised so air hits the bottom third of the coil. I think that's the sweet spot. Any further away and I found the flavor suffers.

    My geeky self measured how far the top cap AF was inset and then I adjusted my coil from there.

    Looking at your side view pic the coil looks like it could be brought closer to the AF.

    That Primo is super nice. I wish I could bring myself to spend that much on a mod. I looked at the site and saw one I really liked but $350 is a lot to me.


    It’s a lot for most people including myself!

    DIY translucent Tita panel mk II !

    Used the same type of plastic (lid of an old tackle box) but this time used a drill instead of a soldering iron and took my time measuring and cutting.

    Went for 6 x honeycomb af holes instead of one wide oblong hole. Might change that later depending on how it vapes.

    The fit is tight enough that I don't need magnets. It stays on nice and snug with no rattles.

    My rough as guts workbench:
