Vandy Vape BERSERKER (24mm) MTL RTA

[JCinFLA]

I don't find the 1.8ohms pre-wound coils, only wires

Now they're calling some of them Pre-coiled...instead of Pre-wound as they used to. Here you go:

$5.65 Iwodevape Kanthal A1 Pre-Coiled Wires (100-Pack) - authentic / 32 AWG / 0.2mm dia. / 1.8ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

They're a little more expensive than they used to be for 100 of the 1.8ohms, but still...only 5.6 cents per coil is hard to beat.

 

[JCinFLA]

If you could use 1.5ohms instead...these are made with a slightly thicker wire, so they'll be not as easy to unintentionally bend or mess up. I use both the 1.5 and the 1.8 ones, and they're fine for me, since some of my factory coils for my other tanks are 1.5 and 1.8ohms. There's really not that much difference between them, to me anyway.

These are less expensive, too:

$3.40 E-XY Kanthal A1 Pre-coiled Coil (100-Pack) - 30 AWG / 0.25mm dia. / 1.5ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I tried setups from 1 to 2 ohms and for me,Berserker is giving best flavor at 1-1,3 ohm.Kanthal a1 and diameter must be 2mm.

Also,I don't know which type of liquids you are using.If you vape tobaccos'this is fantastic atomizer.If you prefer fruits or deserts,buy Berserker mini.

@Helena88 - I've been using several of the Berserker 24mm and the Berserker 22mm Minis for about 4-6 weeks so far. I've used 1.3ohm, 1.5ohm, and 1.8ohm pre-coiled Kanthal A1 coils in them (each has their own slightly varying diameters) and rayon wicking in them. My eliquids have been all DIY...including a Caramel Latte, a few fruity ones, and a couple bakery/dessert ones so far, and all were vaped at a puny little 7watts or lower. They've all been very flavorful, with extremely smooth vapor, and the eliquid lasts a long time before refills are needed, even in the 2mL configuration. Those 3 things have been the same for me, using both the 22mm Minis and the 24mm full size ones.

@JCinFLA Thank you I will check it out!!..................
What kinda cotton do i need for it?

I'm sorry...either I didn't see that question in your earlier post to me, or it was added in your edit later. Anyway, I don't use cotton at all any more, since I first tried 100% rayon about 8 months ago. That's the only thing I use now. To me, the differences are...it's easier to use, the flavor I get with it is better, it wicks better, and it doesn't burn.

If you'd like to first try some of the KohGenDo cotton and some of the 100% rayon, before you order any of either one...just PM me. Include your name and mailing addy, and I'll be glad to send you some of each to try for comparison, for free.

It was another ECF member who kindly sent me some of the 100% rayon to try, when I'd been using only cotton for a couple years. I'd be happy to pass along the favor to you, by sending some of each since you're just starting out.

Good Show JC.

Seeing posts about 1.5 and 1,8 ohm builds warms my soul

1 ohm plus is where it’s still at for me. I loved the Berserker RTA, but am now 90% Squonk, but am hyped to the max because my Berserker RDA is due to arrive tomorrow. I knew VV would do it, and they did. The Berserker comes to the world of Squonkers and Drippers!

 

[52anddone]

I still go from 1Ω all the way up to 1.5Ω 98% of the time, and really always have for the last 3+ years I've been vaping. That's my comfort zone. That used to be normal to vape at those resistances.

edit; sorry, after posting here i`ve realised there`s separate thread for the mini version.....
did`nt think until just after, doh!

I want to try a squonk set up but I'm waiting for smaller squonk mods. I don't like all these Ginormous mods that have a nice short squonk tank that sits on.

Good Show JC.

I just like to help if/when I have more than enough to share, especially when it's a member just starting out with something new. From what I can tell she hasn't been back here though, and she hasn't PM'd me either. Hopefully she doesn't think I'm some nutcase just wanting her personal info.

Very anxious to hear your thoughts on the Berserker RTA MTL. I think I will need to try this. I'm not sure I can picture how it bottom feeds, and gets air to come up from the bottom of the coil.
FT says it ships in 5-7 days. I will wait as it's $26.79 with the map code.

 

[JCinFLA]

@oplholik - Have you ordered your 24mm Berserker yet for your Jac? If not, you know EightVape has them for $21.99, right?

Yeah, I ordered one from FT, and it has shipped. Thanks for the heads up tho, and I'll keep them in mind if I want another.

I would hope not, but, ya know how the Media always over sensationalizes things like stalkers on the Internet (just for one), and her being New and all, but, maybe she just got busy with life and hasn't had a chance to respond back. I'm always cognoscente of the Stalker angle myself when I post to a New Vaper, but your post looked pretty A-OK to me.

 

[SKYYcamel]

I've tried and tried, but I just don't enjoy this tank as much as my Doggy's. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong, but the Berserker just doesn't do it for me.

Is there something about it that you can pinpoint, that's keeping you from enjoying it? Maybe 1 of us has experienced the same thing before.

 

[Helena88]

Ayyy

 

[Helena88]

Hey! Yes, I've been overwhelmed with life. I've done a lot of reading since my last post, especially on the topic of batteries and mods, coils etc. Wish someone had made a site/post explaining it all SHORTLY.

@JCinFLA First of all I want to thank you for all the input, and no I don't think that you're a stalker or anything I've this message from this forum when I click on a person: ".. Also, until you have made your first 5 posts, you won't be able to post links or use the Conversation feature (Private Messages)."

Sorry guys Ayyy is my fifth message!


And all this time I was wondering why none of my links work!

BATTERY CAPACITY (MFG RATED) 4500 mAh
BATTERY TYPE Fixed


Which of these brands are good in your opinions and with or without battery? Is it really needed for the mod to be above 100W even?

If the mod doesn't have a fixed battery or one included (type 18650), is it fine to charge the battery with the mod? And it makes me wonder whats the quality of the one's intergrated if I read on forums that it's not good to charge non-intergrated via cable but with a charger, are they then, assuming better?

/IF not a fixed battery:
