Tengu RTA by Tark - Mod N World

[Marc411]

I own a couple of his pieces and every one has incredible craftsmanship and produces some of the best flavor I get from an atty. His Viking is a stud with both kanthal and Ti and the Tengu is no different. This rta is a flavor machine and the craftsmanship is what I've come to expect from Tark.

Another fine job sir!

Sorry, my camera sucks!

 

[Mtek]

I know @dems86 got one too, perhaps others as well. Here's mine, I love it...

 

[Marc411]

Ahhh your image is so much better.

It is a flavor machine. From the video's I watched it looked like the build was going to be tight but it was a breeze.

I just noticed I have my top tank section on upside down. Damn I hate when that happens.

Thanks for posting a better image.

 

[Mtek]

Hopefully Dems and others see this and share there builds. I'm running a 3mm inverted leg coil (barely fits) with rayon at 1.2 ohm & 14 watts. I wanna crank it up, but for now just getting comfortable with the jc, top fill, and deck features. Good vape for me, airy which is what I like, and really strong vapor production.

Don't feel bad, Marc. I had a Gus top tank ring upside down for days before I noticed. It read Phenomenon correctly while I was bottom filling it

 

[dems86]

Marc, you're the reason I even wound up with a v2. I had totally forgot about the Tengu until you posted in the RTA thread, after which I immediately messaged ModNWorld about getting one and Tark told me about the v2 list, WAHOOO!!!

Thanks buddy

Edit: dinner is almost done cooking, after I eat I'll finally be able to slap a build in her, oh yeahhhh

I'm also running a 3mm - 1.1Ω's at 12 watts and OC. And your right the 3mm cuts it real close.

dems, I think you'll be pleased! Enjoy dinner.

Roxy, I didn't even notice until Mtek posted the picture. Was to damn excited over the flavor production.

I got #82, so maybe it was out of 82? [emoji14]

I must be wrong then, I know Tark said he had about 15 left he would be listing.

Regardless, glad I have one. Now go eat and come back with your build pics.

I got #85, so maybe it was out of 85? [emoji14]

The number's probably just went out randomly, because if that wasn't the case my number would have been lower than yours, I paid May 31st

Marc, what serial # is yours? Me and M both want to know, haha

I messaged Tark to ask him how many were made too, lol

Build after approx 5mls, wick looks its from a kayfun v4...dark and juicy. Post up you build pics when you all can.

 

[dems86]

Built and ROCKIN'

1.07ish build, 6 wraps of 27ga, 2.5mm ID, AF closed halfway...I'm loving her!!!

She's working fantastically so far, I've run about two tanks (neither of them full, so probably a little over a whole tank) and I think we have a winner here.

I did way overdo the juice cobtrol on my first go and flooded it to death, lol. After that though, it's been smooth sailing. Really don't need the JC open very much to get those wicks nice and juicy

#87 dems but it's Tarks second run. The serial numbers makes since I think he runs them in batches of 45. I'll tell you the number of the second one once it get's here, it shipped yesterday with a couple extra poly tank sections.

It's a damn good vape. And dems, I flooded mine on the refill this morning before work. 1 full rotation on the tank is just about right. I just emptied my second so he's a picture of the old build. I'll post the build when I reload it since it looks like more cotton them it really is, I spread it pretty thin.

Yeah, I talked to Tark today. He made 50 v1 and 50 v2.

Mine was actually 82 not 85, oopsies, lol

Yeah, the serials just continue from v1 to v2. So 1-50 are v1, 51-100 are v2.

That's very cool, they are in a unicorn status unless he starts to mass produce.

So here's my build, not really much to it. I use this in the Eviva, Ataman II and this tank, the decks are pretty similar. I went to a 2.5mm build and still got 1.1 Ω's.

Pretty standard stuff but I feather the wick out from post to post and tuck the wick down until it hits the deck. The wick will look thin once it's feathered, that's not a problem and almost exactly what you are looking for on this build.

 

[Mtek]

@Marc411 clean build, it helps a lot, ty. I'm running rayon and using a lot more material. No probs, but I'll thin it out next wick. Nice Eden tank stand too btw.

 

[Mtek]

Second evening with it, kgd build like you @Marc411 fluffed almost to where I could see through. 1 1/4 turns on the JC. It's now my build with this tank, and it's awesome.

Another pic for posterity..

 

[Marc411]

Great image Mtek!

I did a 24ga .17Ω TI build on it today running it at 13.5J and 285°and it's incredible. The row of three air holes make TP outstanding since they run the full length of the coil and keep good airflow running across the entire coil. I took your advice and opened the AFC all they way on this build and you were right!
