So how is that delta? There's a group but on fb I thought about jumping in on, but wasn't sure.... verdict?

sent using a sonic screwdriver

Just a half a day on it but so far so good. I've tried opening up the eliquid control - lots of flavor. (You have to remove the tank to access the eliquid control but it's something that you'll likely set by flavor and forget). I prefer more subtle, so I turned it down to 1/3 of the opening. I have the air choked off quite a bit. For those that lung inhale, opening up the air control - esp. with the big 'caliber' mouthpiece, you're getting a lot of vapor quickly. I'm vaping it at around 11 Watts (0.5 ohm coil) which is high for me for most of my flavors but it's working well with JG Blend (ahlusion) where the coffee base can take some heat. I went to 25 watts and if I stayed there long it would get burnt. This is kanthal coils just FYI....

Same size as the Kanger Genitank mega - 22mm - no overhang. That vapes well too. No leaks on any. I like the air control holes on the Genitank a bit better but the Delta is easier to adjust - just that I have it cranked way down. I think the diameter of the mouthpiece is also a factor - biggest I've seen but haven't seen a lot. The Genitank mouthpiece is too loose to fit on the Delta without an oring replacement. I might like that better though.

I have mine at 470T 20W. Works great.
At 20w I hit TP right away, lowered to 15w, still hit it, down to 10w, and it vaped without hitting TP.

trying wrap my head around this, thought I had it, till I actually put it into practice, now I feel completely at a loss...

So who's running a Nauti with the TP coils? What are your ideas on settings?

sent using a sonic screwdriver

Just use the same watts you would with a regular Nautilus BVC. I use 11W with temp left at default 450F (Haven't found a specific recommended setting for the TSC coils). You can watch in a mirror to see what temp you are hitting with your wattage and style of vape, I get to about 410-420 normally, doesn't hit the temp limit for me until its getting near time to change the coil.

I would be more concerned with vapor production and what watts it's firing at most of the time rather than if it's hitting TP. I finally figured out how to do a decent Ni200 build on my kayfun and it still hits TP but is firing between 10-15 watts most of the time, when I had a less than optimal build it was hitting TP a bit more but was firing at a much lower wattage and had poor vapor production.

Using the TSC coils in the nautilus is probably a good way to figure out the temperature sensing part without adding the extra hassle of building coils with Ni200, I was about ready to order some myself until I got my KFL working decently.

Just ordered 30 gauge ni200 and 24 gauge titanium wire for this thing. Had no idea what gauge ni200 to get so I figured 30 was a safe place to start. With the titanium, I had a choice of either 24 or 30 gauge so I grabbed the 24. Now for the waiting, then the fun.

That delta looks interesting. Think it will hold up to chain vaping with 100% VG juice (hit right after hit when I'm taking a vape break at work)? How does it compare to the Lemo and other RTAs?

does anyone know how long it takes to ship from florida to southern california?

Kind of a dumb concern on my part but I wont be home saturday. My vaporshark just shipped today (tuesday) and has already departed their central hub around 3-4 hours ago and is now en route to southern california. Shipping is USPS firstclass with insurance with signature confirmation at the time of delivery.

Are the chances of the package coming on friday kind of good? From now to friday is 4 days, typically florida to california would take how long?

I hope to god it doesnt come on saturday, I wont be home to sign for the package, then I would have to wait all the way until monday probably to recieve my rdna40.

Anyone in california post their shipping experiences please?

Mine took 3 days to get to Oregon with that shipping option but the USPS isn't really known for consistency.

So my atty leaked into my rdna. It's pooled up between the lcd and bottom panel of housing. It still fires good - display is nice but- tha puddle of ejuice. The juice missed the main board and wires... And just sits there in between the lid and tha bottom pane... Bummer - I just sent this in 4 weeks ago to get the upgraded rdna40...for now I have it surrounded by napkins hoping all the eejuice will drain away. Maybe a couple days or so - I have my reliable cloupor Hana clone which does what it does well (vaporize ejuice) as my back up... Any comments, bits of advice, on how to take this razor shark apart so I can clean out the ejuice in the unit -- isopropyl alcohol - qtips - what else... Kinda bummed since I've been very successful using the TC mode and all my favorite rba/rda are now rockin ni200 temp sensing wire...so any suggestions on how to do this...

Thanks in advance and Vape well

So.... I have a possible solution you may or may not WANNA try...

The LCD is covered by a clear plastic panel. What happened to me was I was cleaning it with 99% IPA before applying a layer of clear tape over it.

Applied too much IPA, and a little seeped between the panel and the ledges that it sits on. Turns out that the panel is simply stuck to the case by some glue. When I tried pulling off the tape, the entire panel just popped off.

So.....if you wanna.... Soak the end of a qtip with IPA, and dab generously around the edges of the plastic panel. Wait a couple of seconds. Apply a sticky tape on the panel, and try to lift it off. It might work, it might not. It did for my new rDNA with larger screen.

Been lurking in this thread for a couple of months now. Received my 40 yesterday and all I can say is WOW. Pictures do not do do this thing justice in terms of size and quality feel. After a very frustrating wait, I must say that I am very pleased with this device!

So, I ordered my rdna40 on Cyber Monday at midnight before it crashed.
I recently moved from Cali -> Atl right before New Years. My rdna40 got stuck at the USPS FWD Center for 2 weeks. This thing was supposed to be delivered on the 10th!! I just got it 10 mins ago!!!!- First thing I did was put the sharkskin on, clear nail polish the power button, and added some ghetto tape .. kiwi style ;p

Anywho, I boycotted this forum since then because I know I'd be super jelly with everyone receiving their mods. I'm happy and will be posting once again :D
