Vertical RBA deck ?

[evan le'garde]

It didn't take me long to realise why an RTA has a small RBA deck. So i started to wonder why no one has produced a vertical one. I mean what difference would it make if it was vertical ?. As long as the coils lined up above air inlet then up to 4 coils could be possible. So, imagine the Subtank for example. The same looking style chamber from the outside with two decks facing each other inside which ran vertically along with the ability to build two coils on each deck. As long as one of those decks could be removed from the main component for building then i'd imagine it's do'able.

Anyone have any thoughts on this ?. Just take a look inside the RBA chamber of the Subtank. That deck could be turned vertically, moved to one side, and another deck could be placed opposite. Tell me i'm missing something. Or is this pure innnovative genuis ?.

If there is any confusion about this then let me add that when i say deck i actually mean the posts and screws should be "horizontal", just to create more space !.

Check out the Veritas, vertical build fits very nicely

That's a dripper. I'm not talking about drippers because the deck in a dripper doesn't have to be small to allow a tank to surround it.

Anyway, the arrangement i am thinking of is solely to create more space in the drum to allow another set of screws for an additional coil. Also the coils would be horizontal. So the screws would be arranged one above the other and the coil would fit between them and it would sit on one side of the RBA deck then the other set of screws would sit opposite.

Dude... pass that over here..

thanks man..

4 coils

Or a single massive vertical coil...


Tank inside single layer SS mesh covered by one wrap of outside layer of OC pad - how I am wicking my TGT-II now.

Single massive vertical coil around OC/SS mesh tank.

Chimney between glass and coil/tan k, small air holes around circumference.

External Air Control Ring.

Remove deck without emptying tank – top tank cap and glass.

Top fill.

Leak proof.

Here's a plan view of my idea of a vertical deck Subtank coil chamber and deck.

Or a tighter more compact design so the juice doesn't have to climb.

So the chamber is exactly the same size as the existing Subtank Mini chamber but the only thing that's changed is there are now 2 coil decks which are vertical. The reservior's are the same size, and the coils are at the same height as before. And it really wouldn't matter how high the top screws were. One of these decks would have to be removable though. Otherwise it would be impossible to re-coil.

looks interesting, I would think a double chimney built might work

How would you get a screwdriver in there?

Edit with further questions:
How would you make an electrical insulator to isolate hot from ground?
How do you wick it with it installed on the juice deck?
It seems like a neat concept, but the execution would have a lot of problems to solve.

In my op i said these decks (Meaning the screw/post assembly), or at least one, should be removable to re-coil and wick.

I think the same style of electrical insulator that you might find in the Subtank Mini.

If you compare the "solid profile" to the "transarent profile" you'll see how the side walls are raised almost level with the coils to allow for a nice deep well.

It's a different idea and looks interesting. I could see there being some pretty complex work getting the Positive terminals to run down both sides down to the 510. I feel like it would be very tight in there, but I guess you also free up space on the bottom of the "deck". Nice images too.

I don't know how this would offer anything very different though. If you mounted the coils themselves vertically I could see this being more useful though. Vertical mount with wicks around the coil.

I think this is right. The electrical insulation is marked with a blue dotted line, i think !.

The removable assembly would be held in with a sprung bearing underneath.
