The Accidental Dripper

[emus]

Short RS is 2.386".
Batt lasts half day when you never put it down.
Been testing attys and dual coil all day.
I expect to average one day on batt in the future.

I wouldn't call it "ugly" per se... It's more of a utilitarian design.

I don't know the difference between tumbled vs non-tumbled. The pix on the website aren't the best. Mine doesn't have a mirrored finish. What I'm guessing are the machining lines are still clearly visible.

Tumbled should look like a dull sand blasted finish.
Non-tumbled is a bright but not mirror finish w/ fine machine lines.
I was planning to polish it after reading comments.
I was pleased it looks good to me; saves me some elbow grease.
Is the 3" a guesstimate?
Kinda curious of the length within 1/8".
I may order a $20 maxi tube one day.

Found a crappy tape measure but it should be within 1/8"... It's closer to 3 3/4". 3" was a bad guesstimate apparently.

I have the non-tumbled version then. Thanks for your description.

that aint to bad i guess givin all the voltage options

It's very comfortable in my hand. I imagine the standard would feel a bit awkward to press the button, but I might be over thinking that.

I haven't used it at 3.7v much yet, but the 18650 2400mah battery will easily last me more than a full day. The fact that I can go 5-7.4v is just icing. I'm really digging the 6v right now though.

.

The standard 2.39" RS is not awkward at all.
I can press button w/ any of my 10 fingers.
I just have to figure out how to put it down

Anyone have any experience with the button not firing? Looks like a fairly common issue and seems easy enough to fix.

Sounds like I need to get myself a drip tip! Does aluminum or plastic make a difference?

 

[LibertariaNate]

I prefer the metal ones myself, but depending on your configuration they might get a bit warm.

if you tend to chew on your pv then stick to plastic but mostly just personal preference i like plastic ones

I found 3 amp switches on ebay very cheap.
The button and circuit board is so simple a cave man could build one.
I'm confident I can keep RS going for years..

I like 1/4" vinyl tube and derlin drip tip.
Not fond of metal bumping teeth.

madvapes is a horrible horrible awesome place.. that i cant seem to stop spending money on, i want a roughstack or an e-power.. or another riva kit.. or.. lotsa stuff

They are only about 80 miles from here. I really should go by. In fact, I told a restaurant manager here about them last Sunday and he rode his motorcycle there the next day and came home with a roughstack. I swear just about every weekend I place an order with them but not this weekend....yet.
