Would you guys mind sending pictures of your coil and cotton setups? Trying to get some ideas for different builds, since my feeble attempts at both dual and single coil builds haven't come close to my KFL+ in terms of flavor and vapor production...

Have pics on 2 builds and wicking a couple pages back. Both are phenomenal. Going to redo both with tri -twisted 28 wire to get my builds down around 0.6 ohms. Don't want to go below 0.5 but still want to be able to use Rose with a Mech and get some decent watts burning.

I own both a V1 and V2, and the V2 is far easier to set up compared to the V1.
The holes on the deck are bigger and in the ceramic too, so slotting your legs into the deck is easy.
I prefer the 1.5mm airhole of the v1 tho, I have no need for 2mm on the V2.
I normally run 1.2ohm macro coil and cotton, the vape experience is second to non.

Thanks for that comparison, glad to know I had to wait for the better Rose. lol. Ah, a Rose is a Rose by any other Name. I'm happy R2 came with more air, tempted to open it up a bit more, but can work with what she puts out. Wouldn't think more air would be an issue, since it is adjustable and one can easily dial it down, but tis hard to open it up more.

I vape both my Roses at 1-1.3Ohms on dna mods so the 1.5 airhole is plenty enough for me.

Both the V1 & V2 vape exactly the same, only difference is the larger airhole for the cloud chasers amongst us.

Well put a new build on one Rose2 using tri-twisted 28 awg. I now have an 0.2 Rose2. Was going for 0.5 ohms or so. woops. lol. On the Stingray it was a wee bit to overpowering, so straddled it upon my Big Nasty with it's 1 volt drop under load, and is pretty nice at the 45 watt zone. Really appreciate the flow capacity of the Ramie and the quick acting juice control now, I must say. Holy Crap, a couple 2-3 second vapes is all I can take in one session and have to let go of my Big Nasty. Have to laugh though, have discovered variable wattage through voltage drop. roflmfao. So proud of my Nasty 0.2 Rose2, quite the thrill ride at 45, but slap her on Ray and she'll do 72. Drippers have nothing on Rose and me.


Pic of the my 2 Rose 2's, futura30 and Big & Nasty too.: Have the futura power locked at 30 watts, and Rose offers a great vape there too.

Here's a pic of the tri-28 awg coil wicked with saturated Ramie fiber. Used the same procedure of mounting and wicking that I posted on the previous builds, all that was changed was the wire and resistance.

Hey guys just looks for some tips. As great as this RBA is once it's setup and filled, I feel like throwing it out the window every time I have to refill it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but when I fill it, I remove the bottom cap which always means just the cap with the airflow ring comes off. The actual base is still attached. The only way to get the base of is to use a plier because there is not place to actually grip it since the base itself is very thin. That is annoying as hell. Any tips?? Thanks in advance.

1 big, big idea is to tighten up the base correctly 1st!! Is it a V1 or V2 Rose? If it's a v2 then use the stand and rod to tighten up the afc ring and deck correctly before screwing the top section back on. On v1 do exactly the same but without using the stand.
Simple thing, but it works a treat. I have never had either of my roses separate when refilling.

Umm, did not like the bottom fill method. I use the top fill method. Tighten down the jc all the way, remove the top cap, fill to the brim, gently begin the threads a turn or two, invert and tighten top cap. Will need to wipe the slight juice seepage that forms, but no major deal. Do need to vape some good long vapes before opening the jc, to vape off the juice that was forced into the build. But simple, fast, and easy way to fill rose up.

How the hell is that quicker than unscrewing the base section and filling the tank and screwing it back on again!! Plus the top fill mehod does not fill it to full capacity.

Well, only unscrewing one piece, the cap, and not the tank and stem chamber. Don't need to be careful about pouring down the side and screwing the chamber back on along with the tank, and if you look at the threads on the underside of the cap, you'll notice that they go almost to the top, so still able to fill it up to the top.

Don't see any reason to swear at me. Just sharing an alternate way to fill Rose that I find much easier for me and has less chances of fraking up on multiple fronts.

The thin bottom section of the base should be tightened with the steel bar and twin pin tool -very tight. Then screw the complete base and tank top- finger tight. now when you want to remove the whole base for refilling, use the two-pin tool to unscrew. You won't be able to unscrew the bottom collector section without the steel bar because it is too tight. I'll try to take some pics tomorrow when I refill.

Unscrewing to refill. Use little finger to unscrew chimney at the same time.


Using steel bar to tighten AFC/collector section to bottom of base. Very tight!



hmm that wick looks pretty funky....change it next time!

You do not need the base and metal rod to fill the rose.
Once you have tightened the base/deck up tightly and put the tank section back on(finger tight) after a rebuild, filling is as simple as unscrewing the bottom section and filling the tank up then screwing back together again, simples.
Some folk don't half make a meal out of simple process.

I own 2 roses and the afc section has never separated from the deck in all the vast times I have refilled them.

If the deck section is tightened correctly after a rebuild, you should have no issues at all.

Don't even need the base stand tool to refuel, easy enough to unscrew by hand, like any other tank, just using the stand/tool makes it super easy. I usually go to work with 3 mods all topped and filled so never have to take extra juice or batts. Usually 2 Rose2's and eiter a flashi, Russian, Aqua, or Taifun. So always have 10 mls or more to vape.

Yeah, Glyn is right, you don't need to use the bar and stand tool every time to refill. Just tighten once and you're good to go.
I'm a bit surprised the Rose isn't getting more attention in this forum. Even see several for sale in the classifieds. Guess it's the premium price. I absolutely love it and think it's worth every penny!

I got a Rose V2 about a week ago, only been using Nautilus tanks since then! Actually, I've only stopped smoking and begun this 3 mos ago after my wife came home and decided she needed to stop. After a good bit of research here on this site and surfing shops, this seemed to be the s@#t! Nobody seems to ever have any complaints, and I join them in their love for this beauty. I wanted a "real" RBA device because I wanted to know how it was actually supposed to perform. The engineering and execution is impeccable IMO. And I'm intolerant of flawed products. Cleaned and built a dual coil with silica, from the box at 1.2 ohms, and MY what a flavor. I've been DIY juicing since 2nd week, and had some Almond Joy Capella about ready. Love is the only way to express it, just bliss. I built a little jig out of hemostats and rubber bands to hold the double wicks, and it stands nicely for torching-too cute. Need a dripper now, anyone use a Cyclone?

Congrats on the Rose, quite the leap of vape for a first time builder. But is my favorite tank system. A thing of great beauty. Have to laugh, every time I post a build using the Rose stand, everyone asks about the stand.

If looking for an excellent dripper, I highly recommend the Magma by Paradigm . VaporDNA has them in stock and if you use the code VTRz7Zws5k you can get an extra $10 off at checkout.

I just built this thing with a Vertical 0.32 ohm build and damn fine vape. Dripper that holds over 1.5 ml of juice is worth the look see. The Magma does not come with a drip tip though, so if you don't have any, might want to pick up a couple. I like a long drip tip on it.

I have my Rose v2 on the way right now. Can't wait to get it. I have been using Kayfuns and a Russian 91% for some time and love them, but given I'm a cotton guy I always end up rewicking before the tank is done. The simple fact I can refill the rose without draining the tank makes it ideal. From what I have seen so far, this is the best tank system ever made...period. And 200 bucks is also not a problem. You get what you pay for. I don't even have it yet and I know it's going to be the best purchase for vaping gear I have ever made, and been vaping since 2009.

I always have 2 KFL+s on me at all times, one on a mech and one on a DNA 30. I'm pretty sure it will be 2 Rose v2s rather soon. I still will always have a place for my Kayfuns, but the Rose just upped the ante.

:D yeah sport 2 Rose 2's with me pretty much wherever I go, some time bring a Russian, flashi, or Aqua along too. Well worth the bones, especially if you appreciate fine engineered rba's. Only bummer is now have to find a tank system that will knock the Rose off of position one and two of my prized collection. The Magma can out vape the Rose, but it's a lake rba and not a tank. lol but otherwise kicks some serious Vape Azz.
