i pre-ordered mines with a 5 pack of TF-T3 Triple Coil 0.2Ω (40W-130W) for $72..says its due out between july 23rd to july 27th
Where did you order your coils? I got the single kit from cigabuy.com, but it only comes with one coil and no rta section. I heard you can get the rta separately though...any thoughts?

I just got this tank today. I went straight to the RBA section, didn't even bother with the pre-made coils. All I can say is wow! I nailed the wicking out of the park, using the pre-made 2.5mm coil. The airflow is the best I had on any RBA so far, and I'm vaping this thing on 45 Watts (.8 Ohm coil) and can't get a dry hit. Huge clouds and great flavor!

Can you post a picture of the wicking? I have both the single and dual rdas, assuming you are using the single? I haven't tried the rda yet and any tips on wicking those bad boys would be great!
I'll take step by step pictures the next time I rewick in a few days. Unfortunately it's hard to open it without draining the tank. You probably could, but with the glass portion just sitting in there, I get nervous. lol
What I basically did was cutting a little bit over a quarter inch of japanese organic cotton, took one outer layer off, rolled it gently in my hand with the fluffy layers on the outside. Then run it through the coil, you want just a little bit of tension. When it's positioned, run it back and forth a few times. Then I bent the cotton down and cut it parallel to the deck just a little bit below the deck (1mm). Then I took my ceramic tweezers with the sharp tip and brushed the cotton, that fluffys the cotton and it takes a little bit of cotton out. Then wet it just a little bit and gently lay it down on the deck. You don't want to press it against the deck, just slowly shape it down that angle and make sure it is evenly spread out across the deck. When you're done and look at it from the side (one tail left, one tail right) the cotton should be even with the side of the deck, basically forming a bell shape to the coil.

Like I said, I will take pictures next time, didn't even think about it. But this wicking method ensures a) great wicking performance and b) no leaking with these giant juice channels lol

Awesome! I look forward to your tutorial on this...in the mean time I will keep using the tri and quad coils.
