I see that Damn vape just came out with a new RDTA (Nitrous RDTA)..... Maybe @hittman or @Z-Lee may eventually get around to reviewing it..... If it's anything like the original Nitrous RDA then it's going to have killer flavor. From what I am seeing it is basically the old Nitrous with a tank attached for extra juice capacity. Oh yeah, it's also a dual coiler.

I've actually been eyeing this up, but have fallen a bit behind in my research and do not know the general consensus on where people stand with it in comparison to the RDA.

Since the chamber size cannot be changed which is what made the Nitrous RDA really stand out, I'm going to assume that the RDTA is a must for dual coils unless you install a single honkin' 4-5mm ID coil.

Yeah it is not configurable like the old RDA was as this is designed mainly for dual coil use..... They recommend a 5mm ID coil if used with a single coil.... Personally, I would not use the thing with a single coil............. But it is squonkable..... It also uses the old mesh style rods instead of solid stainless steel rods for wick feeding. I just imagine the flavor is very good off the thing when using two coils. I know the original RDA in dual coil configuration had supreme flavor and I don't see why this would be much different.

Hmm, just got an e-mail from Evolution Vaping. Anything look off here?

So were you able to order one for that price?

Good morning ladies & gentlemans,


No, that would be a bad solution.
Polished metal has no adhesion to paint, the only thing you get is peeling.
The only thing that would give adhesion to a polished work is if a chemical process of clear coat takes place against the material, but, I have not checked whether there is a clear coat that has that reaction against aluminium.

I was thinking that once polished then the aluminum would take on oils and stuff from your hands if it wasn't treated or something.

What would be good to write on a customs declaration form under the list of items to ship a couple of tanks from OZ to US?
The last thing I want is a customs clown taking the package because of my stuff up

Customized metal parts. Metal caps for sunlamps.

Either way, the customs clowns won't know. Customs in the USA aren't inspecting the vast majority of small packages. There are millions of small packages coming in on both coasts daily. Customs does not have the manpower to check all packages. They are more concerned with making bigtime busts.

Good morning EveryOne

Nope, lol. If you go the page, it's listed at 62.49 pounds which translates to around $75.31. HealthCabin has a much better price and their shipping, although makes a snail look like Flash, is probably more dependable than what the UK is facing with their postal service.

For RDTAs that have a small 2mL tank, I've often completely skipped using anything but just cotton and have had zero issues with wicking. Some people drape the coil ends down into the tank, but I've never needed to do this - simply tipping the tank on its side is enough. A chain vaper can probably make an argument against this, however.

GeekVape L200 Classic kit review up if anyone's interested in a bit of a deep dive. The L200 Classic mod is definitely the shining star in this kit, but I will say the Z Max tank fairs better than the older Z tanks and coils for those that want a warmer vape.

Polished is a finger magnet, but the biggest maintenance is polishing away scratches from use.
Aluminum is the worst material choice, SS can withstand much more.
Coat vs no coat, the biggest advantage of coat is that it withstands weather and wind and has microscopic corrosion, the advantage without is that you can polish them up again to a high result.
I bought a cheap aluminum block from AliExpress, under 10$, the plan was a Dot mod, but it is just big enough for a boro, so it will be like this. I'm on the drawing board today

However, I regret that I didn't buy more, I'm sure to destroy the block as soon as I start milling & drilling in it.

Here's a wonky pic of the old building I've been using in my vape fotos. It's perfect to try out some structure b&W photography too.

I have confidence in you Mate!!! Can't wait to see what you design and the finished mod.

It's the 28th so your birthday it be
You're not getting another happy birthday from me tomorrow

Of course you are 100% correct. It is the 28th, and I am not gonna try and tell you otherwise.

To be honest, I am very surprised. I've never celebrated my birth day over two days before.
You popped my cherry!!! I am no longer a two day birth day virgin.

Cheers Mate!!!
