UD Simba RTA

[Ding]

Well folks, it looks like I am going to get to try some cleaning methods out on the SS ceramic coil today. I am noticing a decrease in vapor and a bit of muted flavor (after 6 tanks) so I am going to finish this tank off and remove the coil to see what's up. I also had to increase my temp to 400 watts to get satisfactory vapor production. If I have to deep clean the coil (in the US cleaner) I will install the hybrid coil and report back on how that one performs. It's a dual kanthal head with a ceramic ring, so I expect it's going to be a cloud machine. We shall see!

I used the US machine on a couple ceramics but it made zero difference plus it made me think it may break down the ceramic.I soaked a couple more in hot water several times, then used a tooth pick to open up the center from both ends,the bottom just pulls right off,which was closed up from gunk.it opened the hole right up again and got airflow.

hello coolbreeze......I am still lovin my target tank but am looking beyond it,actually have it in hand right now

I still use mine every day! I am looking forward to the top-fill Gemini tank for the cCells. I do have 1 top-fill tank that takes them and I like that so much better than bottom fill. Still, the Target tank definitely delivers the flavor and vapor I love from ceramics. I'm glad you are still enjoy yours, too!

I go through the tank rings with the bottom fill target.the glass keeps spinning.I guess I could hold the glass tank instead of the top..lol.I do use it for one specific juice I vape, my only store bought.

I have found that I get the best results on the cCells by cleaning them in a little bowl of water with a denture-cleaning tablet and then dropping it into a mug of microwave-boiling water. After it cools down I rinse the coil under warm tap water and then use a little brush pick thingie that's made for cleaning braces (spent a lot of time in the dental isle at Walmart, lol) to clean out any remaining residue. The ceramic stays dark but I get flavor and vapor back. I'm curious to see what works with this Simba coil. I'm not too worried about the ceramic breaking down because of how they're made and the type of ceramic powder that's used for coils. They are pretty hard and I haven't had any trouble with breakdown yet!

22 months is HUGE!!! Congratulations! And a big congratulations on your 44 days smoke-free. You are making incredible, wonderful changes to your quality of life and your health. I love this!! My husband still smokes and it makes me so sad. His cough is horrible and I cringe every time he has a coughing attack. He's been in recovery 18 years. Well, 19 years in 2 days. I am pretty confident he will make it to Saturday. I just wish he could break that last life-killing habit. I want him around for a good long while, and you're right. It's just a stinky, nasty habit. At least he doesn't complain about me vaping in the house while he still has to go outside to smoke, lol. I know my clouds smell gooood.

Yeah, I know just what you mean! Except my roommate smokes in the house, but it's her house. I try to get her to try vaping, but it's no use. She says she'd sooner just quit. I used to not care for vaping either though. Made me cough, same as her. I finally had a smoking cough for like 3 months straight and decided to give vaping a real shot to see if I could get over coughing every puff. As soon as I could take small puffs without coughing, which was about 3 days into it (and 3 days without a cig), I gave away all my smoking stuff. I also got over me smokers cough completely just about that same time, although I did get a different kind of lung cleanout cough that I still have a little bit. 27 years of tar breaking up. A poster at my doctor's office said that could last 6 months, but it's already lessening. Is it wrong to hope she gets a bad cough like I did that will make her switch? I don't think so. I want her to last awhile too. She's a very good friend.

Just got a complimentary 120ml Vapemoar Cafe Cream. OMG!! So good!!

EDIT: VERY sweet though. Hope I don't get sick of it... Lol. Ordered 8mg but had just joined the Dark Side. Glad I have a whole bottle of 0mg Vapemoar Mellow Gold Tobacco to mix it with. 4mg is just right for me and it's a wonderfully flavored mix!

Yeah, you really have to tighten that tank by holding the top and the bottom and twisting until it's tight. I had that spinning-glass issue, too, until I realized I was able to get it pretty tight without damaging anything. I think it's because the whole thing is held together by the chimney.

Yep, sounds exactly like what I go through with hubby! Except the smoking in the house part. Not happening, lol.

I coughed with vaping at first, too. I also found that some juices gave me a headache. I think I had been vaping for about a year and a half before I realized that it was the PG in the juice that was causing my symptoms. I do MUCH better with a high VG level. Apparently I am a little sensitive to PG. Once I got that straightened out it was smooth sailing, lol!

NICE!! I love Vape Moar! I vape Summer Sweetie every day. It's the best watermelon juice I have ever had. They also had a juice last fall called Autumn Spice that I fell in love with. Very apple and cinnamon. It was a seasonal juice, though, and I didn't stock up so now I have to wait until this fall and just pray that they bring it back. The Prince Pucker is a great apple, too, though, so I have that as well. Sometimes I mix that one with the Summer Sweetie to get a great fruit blend.

Ima dood.I do dood things.I brush mah teeth with a wire welding brush,take a bath once a week,needed or not,turn my longjohns inside out to get an extra week outa em and comb my hair with a pine cone.

 

[Ding]

been lookin over the simba and if it's anything like the target tank ceramic and quality of the UD mini goblin I'm all in

 

[USMCotaku]

I'd say, if you like ceramic coils...the Simba is a GREAT tank for you....if you like building rta's with fancy coils.....maybe not. Look at it like a ceramic coil tank, that has an RBA section "just in case"....a back up for vapeocalypse

Wanna use premade ceramics...get the Simba. Wanna build your own, get the griffon

 

[MattyRetro]

Where are you guys ordering from? Everywhere I am checking is still on pre-order. I'd like to try one!

 

[f1vefour]

They all got them from UD for review I believe.

the thing about tester samples...they are never perfect...usually, there will be changes made to the product after feedback from testers is gathered. So if we overall like the product...we still end up buying one, to get the finalized version.

This is the second run, so I think they are releasing this version in the very near future. The first run was a couple of months ago and they did make a couple of changes to the design, I believe.

Well I gotta say, I was not too sure I was going to appreciate the hybrid ceramic/dual kanthal prebuilt head for the Simba but I popped it in to give it a go anyway and I love it! I ran the ceramic head for about 6 tanks' worth of juice and I started getting decreased flavor and vapor so I figured it was time to experiment with cleaning. I installed the hybrid coil so I would have something to vape on while it was drying out and that was 3 days ago. I really am enjoying this hybrid coil a LOT. The flavor is on par with the 100% ceramic coil and I think vapor production is even better. I have run 2 tanks of juice through it already and I plan to keep this coil in until it lets me know it's time to change it out, then I will re-install the ceramic head. I didn't dry burn the ceramic one because I still don't have confirmation that it's okay to do so. I will report back on how effective my denture cleaner/boiling water cleaning method works on it, though.
