I'm really torn whether to get the VV Kylin now that it has a proper top cap for filling. Word on the street is no further leaking issues in the latest "version" with the top cap. I've read so many Ammit vs. Kylin threads I'm utterly confused. Yes, there is the Reload, but I'm on the stingy side right now and not sure if it would offer enough over say the Kylin (other than probably fit and finish) to justify twice the cost. I was also kicking around the Serpent SMM, but concerned it might be too restrictive with only that side airflow. Anyone with insight in 40 pages of posts or less will be appreciated
Rixy, I think you have a few of these. What do you like? I know I could get a Reload clone for ~$10, but I've had such crappy luck on Chinese clones I don't really want to go there. If I did, I'd still get one of the others anyway.
At least the Exoskeleton kept all the melted plastic inside the cage, so there is that.
The Serpent SMM has become my favorite, it has more than enough airflow, just don't lower the coils to much, it's not needed. It's as airy as the OBS Engine, hmmm, I'm vaping them both now, it's very close buddy so all this bull about the SMM is very restricted is just not true, yeah, it's not massive wide open like a TFV12 but it has way more airflow than say a Goblin Mini.
The Kylin wont leak but juice will find it's way down there over time and get on your mod, no two ways about it, call it condensation or whatever but it is still worse than a lot of tanks. It gets on the top of your mod after a days use, wipe it off and your good to go, depends how much it bothers you.
Reload is full on, those coils are so close, it's like an RDA, again, it depends on how you vape, the clone will leak unless you replace the bottom O Ring with a SMM one, meaning you have to spend more.
Funny thing, I've gone back to my Billow V3 Plus, that tank can hold it's own with all of the 2017 ones, has side and bottom airflow, I will have to take a pic tomorrow, I wanted something a bit old school for the Wismec haha. DAM, that's a good RTA.
For how you vape though, I think you would be happy with the Serpent, so easy to build and wick, no leaking at all, great flavor, I do end up filling it a bit more than some though.
Its real hard to say - go buy this or that as with everything, it's all so subjective..
You can not use the words "Wismec" and "Very Good" in the same post...
LOL - They have had some bad mods but this one is so compact for a triple 18650, no problems with mine so far, has to be their best to date, reviews are pretty positive, I heard ambitious on the tube says it gets hot, I have been vaping my TFV12 at 170w and it's stayed fairly cool. My Predator ended up on the sea bed and peeps that have read my posts before will know I've had my fair share of heated run ins with Jaybo about his mods, right down to his workers sitting on plastic steps while he chills out in his leather chair in his office, I was a business man myself and there's no excuse but I have to say it how it is, this is a very good mod for the money.
Would I have bought one a few days ago, absolutely not a chance in hell but I won this at work, would I buy one now, yeah, I probably would.
I would actually use fantastic.
We have 5 200/200s's in this house , 3 old style and 2 new style. All are over a year old. All are used dayily. Very heavy use until recently when I started only using them at home.
Best mods I have ever had. Each one has been perfect. Never a single issue. My wife uses Beast tanks only and I did for a long while.
I've had Provari's go down. Hex Ohm took a dump. Drone broke my heart. One by one our beloved Sigieli 213's died.
Only the mighty Rolloo lives!!!!
It was never really the Reuleaux, when that first RX200 came out, everyone loved them, yeah OK, there was the slight issue with the 510 on some tanks and some said the battery door had gaps but mine are still going strong, I have 5 of them, ya'll remember the pics, I had a family of them lol.
Its more with the latest mods and once you start to get a bad rep it's hard to shake, this mod may be the saving grace, very comfortable to hold, pretty small, lighter, looks nice (expect for the wismec logo but hey), I was shocked when I got this today, fair do's to him, I really like this one.
Of course, give me a few weeks and I will come back with an update.....
