The Killer 705

[FeistyAlice]

I've been vaping the stock coil over a week now with daily dryburn and rinsed in hot water about three times to clean wick. My juice is a real gunker of any coils. Still going great. I decoiled one Killer so I could show it to "Our Jack" Sunday, when we met for lunch. I'm pretty sure the stock build is all resistance wire. I didn't look really closely before throwing the still working coil away as it was pretty gunked but I'm pretty sure there was no non-resistance wire used. AND the stock wire runs through the tiny holes in ceramic cup unlike the video showing how to recoil KIller using R and NR wire. ALSO, when I did a dry burn this morning, on stock build coil/wick/wire, after patting excess juice from wicks, I was in low light, and right below the ceramic cup a wire is glowing orange when I dryburn. That's resistance wire!!

With proper eyesight and/or magnification, that so many of us need to work with these tiny bits n pieces, I don't see it being much of an issue threading the resistance wire through the tiny holes in the ceramic cup. When I have time I'll play with it some and report. BTW... The video showing testing the resistance part of build is really great. That is how we can test our wire length, for ohm, before making coil either using only NR/R or R only. Also, twisting the silver NR wire onto the R is not really that much trouble.

You must like them Sweet Alice. I see that you snagged another one in the classys. Good job!

Yup, surely did. Even better is we have a new REOnaut joing family from trade. I stumbled upon stock coil I thought I had thrown away and it is NR below coil, contrary to what I have previously reported. So, as I already have some silver NR wire and twisting the NR and R together is not really a big deal I'm going to recoil with R and NR wire. BTW..... I'm on week two with stock coil of Killer I didn't rip coil out of.

Is that legal in TX?

What happened? I was really enjoying this thread and then it just stopped. Where did everybody go?

Alice....did you notice any difference in performance or the atty heat build up between R wire only and NR/R/NR?

I haven't rebuilt one yet. I'm still on stock coil with one. Second week with daily or every two days dryburn after dabbing off juice with paper towel. Warm water rinse every 3-4 days and dry burn. Yesterday took a torch to coil and exposed wick and got wick really white. I pulled the wick out of other and it is R with NR ends. When I rebuild I'll do one with NR and other without. Not sure why the NR wire was glowing below cup whin dry burning.

Hugs, Feisty Alice

BTW.. I have another coming from a trade.

Crap, I went through the original setup in a couple days but I didn't try cleaning it.

Did you see the one for $40 in the classys or were you the one that got it? I about cried when I saw I was too late.

I'm anxious to hear about the comparison.

The surface also seemed to fade off the radar. I Would also like to hear about it.

I jumped on one really fast for trade. We negotiated back and forth and settled on a Mini REO from my end. I got it from classies past summer for knock around but it has so few dings and it's vintage I couldn't bring myself to subject it to abuse. His first REO and I want it to be a best first experience so I'm putting a rebuild kit in and extra spring and button cap. Gotta be a good REO amabssador.

Hugs, Feisty Alice

BTW.... whomever was offering to sell for $40 really jyped him/her self. With shipping they cost about double that and there's nothing to wear out or fall out to be lost and no insulators or washers to melt or burn. Only part to replace when needed is ceramic cup. CE2 cups work just fine.

I'd say he got a really good deal with that REO. It was nice of you to do that.

You're right about the Killer. That's why I nearly cried when I saw that it had already sold. What a steal.

This thread needs to cease and desist immediately. Move along folks, nothing to see here. Return to your homes and lock your doors and windows. (See the problem is my new to me Woodvil 18490 has too small of a catchcup for my RBAs and this appears to be too much temptation so must be put to a stop!) Thank you, drive through please.

I am running a Reomizer on my Mini Woodvil , and a A7 on my 18490. The A7 needed an 510/510 adapter to fit the cup. When my 3 A7 Mini's get here I will have more options! Right now I need an adapter to fit the Reomizer and A7 on most of my Woodvils.

Karen, Shhhhusshh! I already have an A7 and an adapter. That means no vapemail and that's just no fun.

The Surface is awfully nice, too, but larger than Killer and as much as I hate to say this.... it's virtually identical to its clone, the much, much cheaper Mini A7. All parts are interchangeable between each. When I was showing them to Jack I swapped the two's innards and only way to know which is which is shape of top of top difference and the post screws for A7 are Phillip's head, my preference, while Surface screws are recessed hex with no head. Machining on both seem equal quality. Surface cap may be more resistant to distortion from extreme drops as it is heavier and maybe thicker but I Haven't put calipers to it. I can't, in good conscience, recommend paying so much more for Surface unless one wants to show support for original developer and/or needs to have the status. Killer is so much different from Surface and its clone Mini A7 that comparisons are like comparing apples and oranges. I certainly do like the very much smaller diameter of Killer and it has potential to be made even more petite buy cutting off some of top of cap, chimney, which you can't do with Surface or Mini A7. I must warn people, though, that cheap mini pipe cutter will leave top crimped so fitting some DTs in is difficult so best to cut with something better. (I discovered this shortening 801 atty tubes.)

Thought I might give an update as it has been a few weeks.
The Killer 705 continues to perform flawlessly for me. It has not left my Grand except for coil replacement. Actually, unless another RBA comes along that revolutionizes the RBA scene I am done searching. For those concerned about the NR-R-NR, with very little practice it can be mastered very quickly. My current coil is 3 weeks old and still going strong. Since my last correspondence I have received a second Killer and extra ceramic cups. Really there is very little else I can include. In my case, I have found my perfect mod and perfect rba. Good luck in the search for yours.

I'm almost to the end of week 3 using the stock coil that came on Killer. Only reason I'm not on stock coil with other one is I took it off to have a good look at it. I haven't recoiled thst yet so basically using VVG and stock coil full time with only a little time using a tube mod and tanks. Still waiting on Killer #3 from trade. Hope all is well on other persons end. Haven't heard a word from him in a week and I sent him a loaner REO while his made trip to REO spa and his should be there from Maine by now.

Happy to report that Killer #3 from trade was at UPS store today. I feel so special having three!!!

 

[FeistyAlice]

I lost Killer #3 day after it arrived!!!!! Scoured the house for 2 hours. Found it today!!!! I had carried a bunch of vaping stuff upstairs and it, still in it's little sack and nice cloth it was wrapped in, got knocked off the plant stand into a pile of clothes we've been gathering for Goodwill.

My house grimlins play hell with my RBAs and Trippys but, so far my little buddies (some call them angels) have managed to save them. Last year Sissy Dog found my long lost special Trippy vacuuming. Last week she found missing for weeks Mini A7 while vacuuming. Day before she arrived while rummaging through some storage ottomans I found my Roughstack that's been missing for over a year. While she was gathering up old mail and files she found my two brand new, never used ScubagenUS in a paper shopping bag that had mail in it from over a yesr ago!!!!

And today she found the old ego battery I use as a handle for 510 RBAs that's been missing for weeks. It was hiding under a secretary I used to keep my RBA stuff in.

Sissy Dog is one of my angels.

So... progress on using Killer without the proprietary adapter thst adds about a cm in height. Picture shows how petite it is without adapter. (The humongous air holes are for juice adjustment when it is used in tank. Adapter is not on Killer)

Humongous air holes. You can't vape it without the adapter because way too much air.

#47 o-ring to mostly close off holes. Second pic is o-ring cut to let in more air but too airy for me so I'm playing with it some more.

VVG, Killer with adapter.

VVG, Killer without adapter. Huge height difference.
