I finally got my replacement Berserker and the top cap on this one is much better. I still was never able to get the cap off my fist one. Any way this is my first experience with squonking and noticed whenever I take the rda off my mod to refill the bottle there is juice collected on the bottom of the rda and on top of the 510. Is this normal? it's not a whole lot and has never seeped out from underneath yet or into the mod.

Otherwise I'm loving it so far. I wasn't able to get a good cool vape with my usual kanthal builds so I finally decided to give TC another shot and oh man have I been missing out. SS316l,7 wraps,15 watts and 410f. I'm getting probably the best vape of my life. Love this little guy.

Yeah? I hadn't heard that. His vid did seem to be informative tho.

The problem is his computer demos are water under pressure and his air chamber is not to scale by any means. Water under pressure flows much different than air under vacuum. His air chamber is a joke at best. Another thing to look at. He's suppose to be some sort of expert on airflow in RDAs and can criticise everyone else on BS science but can't design a decent RDA hisself? The RDA Oen designed is crap. Again, Oen is a lying con man that's full of crap.

Got mine yesterday. Pretty much loving it. 26g kanthal, 1.2ohm spaced 2.5id. Still playing with the AF sticks. Looks stellar on my Ti CC.

I use 12mg in tanks and 12mg in the Berserker. I do go down to 3mg in a Recurve, Nudge, Dead Rabbit..

No need for me to change mg in the Berserker. IMHO it's a true MTL, I use the same watts with the Berserker as my tanks too. The other RDA's I have to at least double the watts to get a good vape.

Yes. Designed for use on a bottom feeder mod. Can also be used as a RDA.
Sorry, but no. Having a well that holds something like 1 ml of juice defeats much of the purpose of using a BF mod.

An atty designed for BF drains all the excess juice back into the bottle. It does not leave a bunch of juice sitting there cooking in the hot atty.

Just because it has a deep juice well doesn't mean most of the excess isn't sucked back out when you release the squonk (the pin is close to the bottom after all). It does mean there are much longer wick tails than others, but not a deep pool of juice sitting around in the atty.

I've been thinking about picking one of these up lately.

Originally started vaping MTL years ago. These days, no so often. I've been squonking (Recurve, Nudge, C4), so if I MTL, I want it to be via a BF RDA as well.

I ordered the Geekvape Amitt RDA, should be here tomorrow if the USPS stays on time. Not sure whether to wait until I try out the Amitt, or just go ahead and get one. Have a feeling I'm going to want to try this as well.

I guess my goal is to run a high build, simple round wire with higher nic. See how low I can go on the wattage and still get a satisfying vape. Also, maybe to put this on my original Squeeze as a nice small pocket vape.

I do prefer a more open MTL vape. Anyone here that's used both have any comparison on the two?

Still not an atty "designed for BF". It's a deep-well RDA that happens to come with a BF pin.

I do like what they've done with the airflow though.
