I would almost buy a few more just for the tip but they don't make them anymore.

So many new Caravela's being shipped. But so few posts or pictures. Are most not on ECF? I love to see brand new ones, and read the pride in the new owners posts. Please post your new Caravela's, new Family members!

I know for certain I will if I get on the list in August. I'm a old salty dog so a brass mod of this calibre will def be at home in my hands.

what is a "rapid tank"?

 

[Absintheur]

The rapid tank is a bottom fill glass and stainless carto tank from FinnVape. Uses the plug found in the bottom of Boge or Ikenvape cartos as the fill hole plug...even if you lose one it is very easy to replace...

indeed

i guess i am still curious... what is the advantage of the bottom filling?

 

[Absintheur]

If you haven't filled a plain tank with a Killer RBA it is hard to explain but it is a real pita. My first Killer is living in a tank that has a side plug but it floods when filling as the juice leaks into the atty as long as the plug is out. With a bottom fill the juice feeding hole is out of the juice while filling. A top fill like the Kir Fanis isn't too bad but the screw plug interferes with large diameter pipe stems. A bottom fill solves all those issues.

ok...i think i get it...have Killer...not really tried it in a tank yet...

thanks for the info!

 

[Absintheur]

The Killer is stupendous...a really great device, just needs a easy fill tank to make it more pleasant at fill time. I also think it was made with 50/50 juice in mind...feeds perfect with that blend of PG/VG.

 

[thejager]

cool..didnt know that...do you run it as a Genny or with silica...i just have lost my taste for silica RBA's

 

[Absintheur]

with silica...the way it wicks is from a catch basin kinda under the ceramic cup, the silica lives down there and feed the coil

 

[thejager]

derailing the thread...

thanks for the info though!

I have been using a Trap with my Killer, and do like it!

Only thing I see with that plug being on the bottom ..... BIG ole gap when you screw it down?
Unless it fit perfectly into some sort of recess in the top cap of a mod, that would give me a horrendous rash.

Caravela 183500 w/Titanium Prometey Drip Tank

On a 18500

 

[BuzzKilla]

Caravela topped with a CE2 MAP tank....
kickin it ol' school

 

[boog]

anybody know what size o-rings I need to use the C+ drip tips?

I can't get them to fit on any of my RBAs

 

[dspin]

Boog, I cant remember right now the size. I should write it down. Pedro had posted on Caravela forum the size.

Anyway, they are metric. Try putting vaseline on o-ring and twist and push down. For some reason the newer tips have a bigger O-ring then the first tip I got, which is thinner for sure and fits everything perfect. My last tip came with fatter O-ring and wouldnt fit so vaseline to the rescue.

You will then need to twist it while pulling off. After alot of use, they fit better
