I hope someone doesn't get angry at me for necro-threading... Or they can, if they like, whatever.
I love this rsbt hybrid.. It was my first rba. I bought it while I was waiting for my kayfun 3.1 clone to get shipped, and I bought it from my local b&m. It's been a little over a month. I like this rsbt better than my kayfun.
I have vaped the heck out of both of these tanks. Avging a bit over 6ml a day lately. High to max vg, so I'm vaping very thick juice. This RSBT destroys the kayfun. I don't get dry hits. At all with normal usage. If it's been on it's side while I sleep I need to prime puff it a little and then it's good for the day. The airflow is the biggest bonus and I think it contributes to my final factor over the kayfun. But this airflow is incredible. I would probably love drippers because I really enjoy airy lung hits, but this thing performs greatly for me.
But the final reason I like this over the kayfun: Flavor. I get so much more flavor out the simplest builds on this tank. I get plenty of vapor production on the kayfun. I'm fairly confident I'm building my builds right on the kayfun. Especially since I prefer high vg juice I really needed to get that right and have watched hours of youtube kayfun builds. But I get much better wicking and flavor on this rsbt. The kayfun does ok, I have to prime puff a little bit, especially on a fresh build. I almost never have to prime puff on this rsbt. I am not using a bunch of cotton down the deck like I see a lot of people doing. I do not appreciate pbusardos build with the wick sticking out, though with pg heavy juices it's probably just fine. I just simply use cotton flush to the edge of the juice hole. If the juice is really extra thick, I just take a screw driver and with the chimney section on, I push a little bit of that cotton into that juice hole a tad. Enough that some strands still tuff out the hole a little bit but aren't clogging it. No dry hits.
I use a 2mm driver to do my coils and that screwdriver easily fits into the channels so I can secure the coil easily. I only use a single strand of cotton that is firm, but not tight inside the coil. Tight enough where you can move it from side to side through the coil but there is definite resistance. I try to make sure the juice holes are plugged with cotton as I tighten down the chimney on a fresh build. I use thick juice so like I said previously I just poke the cotton in just slightly after the chimney is tight. Not all the way in though, you want the cotton to be secured to those holes. I do the most common kayfun type filling method with this. Just unscrew the top portion ignoring the fill screw, fill, and when screwing the top back on, simply go a couple of threads in till the o-ring is inside the tank then tip upside down to tighten. Now that I understand the build it's as easy as the kayfun, if not easier.
I'm sorry for the novel. I just love this tank. I get no leaking, gurgling or dry hits. I fail to see how this has not taken off. It's like a taifun evolved. Most of the build video's out there don't do this tank justice at all. Carl Richardson does a fairly good job in his. I'd just hate to see this style dissolve before it gets noticed properly. There aren't insulators in there to worry about so you can limbo dance with the ohms if you want. Go right on ahead. I have done a .7 ohm build myself, currently on a 1.3 ohm because my mech mod turned out to be a dud and can't afford another at the moment. I have read the tank section is pyrex so you can throw any juice at it. Last but not least, the price. It's cheap, and looks very pleasant to my eye.
I had planned on getting some sort of squape reloaded clone, but I will probably be purchasing another rsbt hybrid. There must be others who are loving this thing as much as I. Are there?
