I've never had a problem with my Russian leaking. I've had problems with my Kayfun plenty of times though

I'm just the opposite. I have an original Kayfun and a Russian 91%. I've never had a day of trouble with my Kayfun, but my Russian has not worked well since day one. I finally gave up on it went it started leaking juice. But I know people have had much better experiences then I did. In case your interested I bought my Russian from Smokin Crow. Wasn't there fault, I just must have got a defective one. I never tried to return it, I always thought I could fix it. By the time I gave up on it I was certain I was past my warranty.

My R91% leaked a little around the fill screw, until I put a tiny O-ring on it and now there's no more leaks.

On my last two tankfuls I found it had a problem with high-VG liquids, but a dash of water solved that too.

It's still my favourite tank, but the new Fogger v4 might give it a run for its money.

I purchased my Russian from Vapor life. No leaking. My only challenge is getting more than 1 1/2 tanks before it starts tasting burnt. I was vaping 90/ 10 VG/PG and thought that could be the problem. changed to 70/ 30 same problem. Reduced the amount of cotton same problem. Changed to larger diameter same problem. Increased the OHMs same problem.
Vaping on a Provari 2.0 OHMs 3.6 volts . Unless chain vaping may be the issue I am wondering if it may be the unit.

Got it today, my wife picked it up from VaporDNA for me. Took it to my local shop and got a 1.2ohm build. They also talked me into getting a DNA 30 clone.... :blush:

Only got to vape on it a bit, but man the difference in flavor was noticeable right off the bat! Simply amazing! More to come after I've done a few fills and changed the wick, etc.... But here's the setup.....

It does need time to wick, especially with thicker liquid. Try adding water until you don't have to wait for the air bubble to move. I find it suffers less from chain vaping than the Protank II does, but a primer puff now and then cures it.

So after a bit more time vaping on my new Russian, I've got a question for those experienced with RBA's....

I've been vaping 12mg on my Aerotank, but vaping the same juice on my Russian gives me a crazy strong throat hit. To the point that it burns a bit. I'm wondering if the coil is to hot or if I should tone down to 6mg?

Appreciate the help!

...fogger V4... just got this a month ago... I don't think I'll need another dual coil tank... it's pretty much perfect IMO. Don't vape it while driving though, you'll need to see the road.

Yeah I had to cut my nic levels when transitioning to rbas.
