So I just got the supertank rta, along with a velocity and some cotton from vaporrange. Shoutout to them and USPS for shipping it Thursday and getting it to me by Saturday.
To start off with, this thing was put together with gorilla strength. I had to freeze the whole tank to get the build deck off for the first cleaning and then freeze the build deck to get the chimney unscrewed from it. I was using a towel with this too btw. After getting the buid deck seperated from the chimney, two of the four post hole screws were wrenched down so tight that I had to remove the build deck from my mod in order to be able to get the last two screws unscrewed. Otherwise the base of the atomizer would just try to unscrew from the mod. Also, The part where the lower part of the chimney screws onto the upper part won't seperate either. Though I've been able to work around it so far.
When I first built it (I used 24g kanthal around a 2.4mm screwdriver, about 8 wraps and came out to about .38 on my mvp pro) and wicked it, I had major leaking issues. I just watched the juice pour out of the airholes. I disassembled everything, realized I was missing an o ring on the chimney, so I got that on there, rewicked, and still had some leaking so drained it again and redid it. I seem to have gotten it stabalized for now but it's not going to be the only atomizer going out with me if I'm going somewhere.
Anyway, as for vapor and flavor production, I find I like it better then the subtank mini with both the RBA head and the vertical OCC (don't have any experience with the horizontal coils) and I find I prefer the flavor of this to my dark horse. Although that comes down to the build as much as anything else. It still needs a little bit of tweaking to get it dialed in better though, as I feel this RTA has a lot of potential I haven't gotten to yet.
Three little things I've noticed so far though. First, all the reviews I saw on this thing said to use a very generous amount of cotton. I used a good bit more cotton rewicking the last time which seemed to stop my leaking so far and I haven't gotten anything that resembled a dry or burnt hit running at about 40-50 watts so far. Though i haven't really pushed it past that. Though I only have 60 watts I can use. The second thing is, unless your wicking is absolutely spot-on perfect, there's going to be minor leakage when refilling. There's no juice control to close the wicking holes when refilling from the top and the airflow control won't move when it's on a mod. Third, the chimney o ring. It's really easy to lose lol. Be sure you're careful when you have the deck disassembled.
That about wraps it up for tonight. Any questions feel free to ask and I'll try to post updates as I discover things lol. Edit: next to stm
