the Aquav2 clone thread

[roxynoodle]

don't think there is one but I can't get that white delrin insulator out from the deck

had everything else off including deck pins. the whole 9

I do think there is one. I only had it apart once for the initial cleaning so my memory is fuzzy. Go back through this thread and you'll find the post and solution. Hopefully I'm right about that and don't waste your time.

I found this

Aqua V2 break down and review. | ALL ABOUT E-CIGARETTES UK

looks like there is two o rings that could be the problem (or lack thereof). need to get that main insulator out to know for sure

Ok, glad to know I'm not completely senile yet Yep, I bet at least one isn't seated. Hope you get it apart.

I have the Ft otm clone and i give it 10 out of 10. I have authentic sophia, Erlkonigin and authentic kayfun and it feels of the same quality if not better. For the price its just a done deal. I also find it so easy to set up. its very hard to get wrong i think as the channels are so big. Also i find the cotton has not caught tbe threads at all unlike my orchid v4 clones where its a bit more finicky. Anyway I highly recommend this clone and this atty. Also single coil with twisted 30 gauge has been a complete joi and zero leaks with it in use and taken all over the place.

Thanks for the quick answer! It sounds like great! What is the flavor and vapor like compared to some of the other atomizers you own?

compared to sophia, erlk, kayfun etc it out perfoms by quite a considsrable margin. on my single coil with twisted now its giving out very large clouds. The kind when you blow on the street people think a house is on fire. Dual is even better and about equal with the orchid v4. Flavor on it is superb too. I feel its just a little under a great build on an erlk although sometimes better as you really can get a lung full on this atty. Its still a tank and not an rda so no where near dripper airflow but should suffice for most vapers needs out and about. At the moment its by far my favorite tank atty around.

Awesome, sounds like exactly what I'm looking for! I personally find the airflow on a lot of drippers a bit too much so it sounds perfect!

I took Nikki's advice to heart about the sweet spot. I rebuilt one of them to .6 with 28 on a 3mm mandrel. It's wicked with rayon. It's an absolute beast. The vapor is almost chewy. It's so full of flavor, it's kind of a brain twister. I have it filled with Paramour out of the Artist's Collection. It's almost like chomping on a pear dumpling. Runs well between 25-35 watts.

The other one, I messed up somewhere. It's two strands of twisted 30ga, 3mm mandrel and it's a .3 build. I was shooting for .5 but I think I had something incorrect on steam-engine. Either way, my mod fires down to 0.15 and this one works fine. It's wicked with organic cotton. Filled up with Vapor Trails Orange Creamsicle. It's a hot vape, I have ran it up to 40 and the vapor is nuts, the flavor is okay, but I have to run it at 22ish to keep the temp comfortable. I'm going to rebuild it later tonight with a 3mm 26ga setup.

I finally figured out how to wick it properly and it's paying off very well. I now just adjust wattage to taste.

$30 for the both of these was absolutely the best money I've spent on vaping, if you don't count what I walked out of the store with on my first day. The only problem is that they're super thirsty, lol. I've went through almost 30 ml of Paramour in the last week and probably 15 of Orange Creamsicle.

Thanks to all the posters in here for helping me sliently troubleshoot and tweak.

Just got my Tobeco in today. Vaping on a Sigelei 150 that showed up today, also. I'm not an experienced builder, so I'm gonna take it easy for awhile and stick with single coils.

Hmm. There's smth fishy about my atty. It'll randomly force my rDNA to show "check atomizer". All my connections are snug tho. :/

[KurrptSenate]

does the atty do that on any other device?

Maybe it's just trying to tell you the Aqua looks real good up there. "Check it out man!"

 

[TheKiwi]

Yeap. My sig 100, both rDNA, :/

I wonder if it's just something sloppy with my build. Perhaps I didn't cut my leads short enough and it's touching the chimney.

Food for thought: Sometimes when I go to loosen up the Aqua2's breather a bit, I concomitantly end up unfastening the atty from its base. Which makes the center pin raise up a hair, which makes its connection to the mod go a skosh haywire. Surely no one here is as reckless as me to do such a thing, but just in case.

Maybe leads touching opposite side coil?

I gotta mess with it more. It's unlikely the first given that it doesn't fire even after I tighten the atty down. But I'll see after I drain this tank!

I'd guess loose posts/screws.

Not saying this is your problem, but something I ran into:

I realized after a couple of builds that it is possible to accidentally put your coil leads through 2 post holes that are next to each other, instead of correctly going across the post to the opposite hole (hope that makes sense)

If the lead goes through 2 holes that are next to each other the screw doesn't properly trap the lead and it causes connection issues.

My posi post came loose on one of mine. I was at a birthday party. I was not amused. I did have the opportunity to excuse myself for a moment out to the car where I had my mini-build box.

I really like my Aqua V2 except for one thing...the acrylic tank (i.e.,acidic juice). I know you can use the SS tank, but I don't like to play peek-a-boo with my juice.

 

[KurrptSenate]

yup

I have two juices like that. i'll switch, run both of them through a tank, then right back to the clear tank for my normal juices

 

[Waddle]

With me its a half dozen or more of my flavours that can crack an acrylic tank. I realize that because its a bell shaped tank it would be difficult, if not impossible, to have a glass tank with the Aqua V2. As such my glass tanks see much more service. I doubt it will ever replace my Fogger V4 (V6 on the way now ) or my Orchid V6 (glass tank). It just seems these days unless I can get a 5ml glass tank I'll pass. I'm waiting for the 5ml Goblin before I pull the trigger again for another atty.
