I so should have done like any research on this thing before I impulse bought it. I saw the design and thought it worked more like the Achilles. Fluff filler? Top wicking? :facepalm: I am glad it was cheap.
I think there is a bit o confusion.

Prometey RDA

Or

Prometheus RTA

Found this. Some in here might be interested.

Prometey RDA
Wow. $4.99. How the mighty have fallen. Alexandr Has the legit, titanium version in stock for 120 Euros--which he does for about 5 minutes every time he produces his usual lot of 20 pieces. But $4.99?

I'm conflicted. I've got a lot of clones, mind you. I'm just as cheap as the next guy. Cheaper. But I can see how guys like Alexandr--who concentrate and sweat and create little works of functional art--must be bloody ...... off when they see things like this.

I'm buying the VTC mini. Although, I'm not quite sure which color. Cyan, white or black. I already have a blue cool fire and I don't want something that's very alike. And the black one just looks to dark for me, it just looks like a box. The white one..? Not sure. Fits for the season though. What do you guys think?

No, I just wasn't paying attention and thought it worked more like the Achilles. The Achilles and Prometery were both originally made by the Ukraine company Titanium mods.
It can work like the Achilles. You just have to set it up in the drip mode

Sorry, I thought you got the Prometey.

Now you got me confused, not that it takes a lot. I did by the Prometey. The Prometey needs to have foam packed in the roof of the chimney and down wicks according to the Utubes.

So it would seem but I think if you put a whole Ml in there and tilted it, it would tend leak down the air hole. My Achilles does if I fill it that high and don't keep it upright. And, the biggest selling point to me was the ability to hold a lot of juice. As a dripper, it is a pointlessly large atty. I have a ton of regular drippers and many of them will hold close to a ML. I wont bin it but it really doesn't fill a need for me and I will probably PIF it after I fool with it for a bit. There is no way I'm setting it up for down dripping with the foam insert.

Edit: I am also mildly curious as to how the wicks stay pointing upward touching the foam after they get saturated? I would think they would droop.

Dripping isn't how the Prometey makes a living, you're right. But it does have the capability in a pinch. It's ok for taste testing.

RoxyMusic: Back when I first got it I didn't know what to set it for with my Aerotanks :).
I posted in the MVP owners thread.


yes, yes...

but I meant, what is the status of your MVP at this time... ?

  • still works like a champ
  • sold it to finance your sauerkraut farm
  • it died a pleasant (or not so pleasant) death
  • gave it to a Monk, because you couldn't believe he was using an old Blu cig-a-like
  • just don't use it 'cause it's really heavy

:p :pervy:

Sold a few months later because 11W was limiting once I started building. I did love it though.

Now you got me confused, not that it takes a lot. I did by the Prometey. The Prometey needs to have foam packed in the roof of the chimney and down wicks according to the Utubes.

I use fluff in the Prometeys. One wick tail up, and one on the deck to catch any possible dribbles.

The wick will stay up if you screw in the base upside down. Once it sticks to the fluff it will stay there. The side of the tank tube holds it up, too.

Sorry, I'm the one who was confused... Too many Greek names

Excellent deal for $5, I paid $9 for mine a year ago... :thumbs:

The top cap will need a little rounding on the edge of the air holes. Top cap on the right with the air hole chamfered, do the outside for whistle and inside if it cuts the upper large o-ring on the chamber.
