Smoant Pasito 25W - RBA POD

[Brewdawg1181]

So i got one yesterday. I had asked my local shop to get them and the owner did, along with a couple RBAs for me. I built one last night and didn’t find it to bad, though a little tougher due to post hole alignment. I noticed with the RBA filling was a little more difficult and it takes up more room in the tank. It was vaping fine and took it to work. While driving I had it in my hand and apparently the button was against my center console and it was firing, so cotton burnt a little, glad I had my Orion to switch over. At home now and emptying tank is a PITA and I had to break out a hypo to do it. Replaced cotton and back in business.

I got it specifically for the RBAs. I have 2 Orion’s that are my ADV and have gotten tired of buying pods and waiting on someone to make an RBA for them. However, if it happens, I’ll get one as I love my Orion’s.

This Smoant is OK, it is bigger than the Orion, but lighter, and doesn’t seem like it’s built like a tank like my Orion’s are. We will see. I hate the swirly panels and drip tip and would have preferred just simply black panels. I don’t know what to think of the Usb C, as it’s my only anything that uses it, so now I need to find some longer cables. The Orion charges faster it seems, but it is a smaller batt I guess. Haven’t tested batt life on Pasito yet, but it’ll happen when I can get through a day without burning my ato.

How was the vape compared to the Orion? TBH, I don't really care that much about the rest- battery life, ease of build, capacity, looks, etc. I was about to buy a Pasito when I won the Geekvape, because I love the small size and like being able to build instead of buy coils or pods. Although I like it better than Orion's vape, it's not an rta, and doesn't deliver quite the density I crave from my rta and Vladdin. Orion is a little too warm for me, and more geared to restricted lung hit than true rta. Dialing it down didn't deliver a dense enough vape for me.

You'll love the USB-C when you get used to it. I have it on my Galaxy phone, and I'll be glad when all of my devices go to that. It actually has better capacity for charging, and easier to insert without fumbling around. You can get adaptors, which is what I did. Supposed to be more durable, too.

With 5 settings the vape can be cool to pretty warm. I tend to use setting 3-4 with a .6 coil and slightly open air. If I wanna go 5 and open air up, it’s not that all that close to high wattage and an RTA, but it’s not a bad vape.

i have two pasito, 3 cartridge n 3 RBA, swapping cartridge is pretty easy compare with changing pod

Yes, if I had 3 cartridges it would be easy. [emoji23]

Dislikes:
-So the .6 coil that came with it floods.
-When I fill the tank eliquid gets in threads and then when I screw MP on, I get eliquid seeping out around it.
-batt life isn’t that great IMO.

My latest rebuild has been rocking it. So i’ll keep using it. Maybe get another tank to go with second RBA or to use for MTL and salts?

Totally agree, the battery life is a little too quick to go from 5 dots to 3 dots. I don't take it anywhere because I'm afraid the battery will die on me.

I have the RBA, just have not built it yet. Heck, it's been over a year since I built anything; wasn't the greatest builder when I did with my sausage fingers and all. Really not looking forward to all the swearing that will come out of my mouth when trying to built this thing. That said, might take a try at it this weekend. Now if I can only find my wire....yeah, this is going to be fun

constant output what to do, btw i feel performance getting lower when it reach 1 dot

Got it, like it. Also got that coils for rba

No problem with installing, dunno why reviewers calling rba "pain in the ...", work nice at 16W (but a bit slow to ramp up).

how vapor production, flavor, throat hit ???
thanks

Hot dense vape. Best flavor with near to closed airflow.

[Hukachoo]

No dry hits. Using salt nics right now, so not a huge throat hit, but 25mg give a nice nicpunch.

 

[Hukachoo]

Btw, 20W given more throat hit, rly good, ramp up fast, but a bit less flavor imho.

battery also gone faster

 

[Hukachoo]

battery also gone faster

True. Thats why I prefer 16W.)

 

[JollyRogers]

Much happier with the 1ohm coil, salts, closed air, and at first power level. So need to make an attempt at building a higher resistance coil for the rba.

As mentioned above, I've noticed battery to die pretty fast, in my case it's with stock mesh-atomizer.
And while I am waiting for my RBA to come, here is a question - what wire and build would you suggest for DL vaping with RBA, but to extend battery life?

I had a 28g kanthal at .6ohm and it did ok for a couple weeks. Wicking is the trick.

I think the 1ohm w/salts is doing great. I don’t vape the hell outta it and it’s going 2 days a fill and batt is lasting due to shorter draw and lowest power setting. No flooding either. MTL, is just a tad loose, but usable for me.

 

[pexuk]

I've got leaking problems with pasito, I'm getting juice flowing into airflow and a huge spitback on any coil. Any of you guys experienced that?

 

[dansus]

With the RBA or stock coil?

With any coil...
