I've heard that the "octopus" from Gotvapes leaks!

when dry, i drip 25 drops into mine without a shadow of a leak. re-dripping with 5-10 without leaks.

I'll probably stay away from it... I don't like he idea of brass posts. I just wish I could find an Igo-L

FWIW, i was told the device is RoHS compliant, meaning lead-free brass.

SteamMonkey and MyVaporStore are sold out too.

madvapes might have em in stock. they had hundereds of them when i got mine.

Brass will patina... it has little to do with the lead content...

Nothing worse than your juice siting in brass that has started to patina... the minerals that form on the surface of the brass, are something that i would NOT want to vape....
Have you ever cleaned the 510 threads on an eGo and wondered why your white napkin was covered in green residue.... plated brass in contact with your juice!

RoHS compliant.... riiiiight. got that in writing?

No, I haven't.... Makes me wonder about the liquid you are using!!!! Are you vaping some of the real acidic liquids, (ie.. cinnamon type).... 2+ years with an eGo and no green stuff in my threading.... In fact, this is the first i've ever heard of it..... I would tend to lean to the plating that is coming off, but certainly not the brass under the plating.... Looked around on the forum and nothing!!!!

when i vaped with an ego, it was mostly sweet juices.
with regular cleaning, no you wont see it.
but after having that ego in a drawer for a while, it will be there, if ANY type of moisture was left in that connector.
The threads were well used, so the plating had worn off by that time.
worth noting that these were real Joyetech eGo's, and not clones.

im surprisingly very happy with the rda. for one it's only 9 bucks, the way it vapes and delivers flavor is unbelievable. its the perfect size for all types of batt/apv's. the quality of the build is very nice. for a newbie it's the perfect rba to start with.

i had made a few simple modifications to it that turned it into a fog machine. and for being a dripper, i can load around 8-12 drops depending on how close to dry i vaped it and get a good amount vapes before having to drip again.

here's a link so you can see what i have done and how well it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptdkiCiXGD0

hope you can enjoy this rba as much as i am. :toast::p
