wanting better tank addy rebuildable.

[longhaireddwb]

Ive used the aspire addy but the airflow is just not the best for a lung hit.
ive also tried a pump style dripping addy. The big dripper. I find it slowly drains out so it dont last and floods the coil area.

Im wanting to try one with the tank underneath the build and wick up.
so what is the best one to try? I dont buy authentics so it will need to be a 1:1 tank style.

Help me to find a good one to use in the big truck.
thanks.

If you're talking about a Genesis style RTA, then I'd have to suggest the Smok RSST. It is probably the easiest to build and most forgiving. It's around $20 to $30. You will probably want some #400 stainless steel mesh to wick with too.

you can also get a did 16mm or kraken 22mm, what size you looking for

 

[crxess]

Or you could go the other way - Coil in the low center

Orchid
Dual coils
Large air passages
Decent volume
Plenty of Vapor/Flavor
Lung hittable

I checked out the reviews on both of those this morning. What is the benifet of wicking with ss mesh compared to cotton as the kraken uses? Im guessing that with the mesh you wont get the burnt cotton taste if burning too long as you get with cotton but does it wick as fast? Or any other points in using the mess over cotton?
I use a 22 mod so thats the size id want to go with.

I got the Kraken.
I bought extra mesh and glad i did. I tried three times to wick with mesh and even after burning the screen well before putting it to use i would get some dry burnt hits. Not good. So i did some reserch on line and tried the U shape form of wicking with cotton. One coil and both ends down in the juice using the second wick hole. Worked great.

So i went to bed. Got up and went to work. An hour later vaping as i normally do, a bit of a chain vaper i am, i noticed the juice was below half. I filled it up and after a couple hours it was about empty. I checked where i keep it for a puddle and looked at the coil area and nothing was abnormal.

Im thinking i could use a straw and suck the juice up faster but not much faster. This thing goes through a lot of juice.

I normally empty the kayfun in a day after filling in the morning but damn!

Does anyone else using the Kraken find this as well or is it just me?

 

[1mouse3]

try cotton in the center of mesh straw to slow it down a bit but dont recommend organic cotton, ... cotton or rayon would be a better choice. these things do consume juice a little quick but produce awesome favor an vapor

 

[longhaireddwb]

Now i got to buy some ... cotton. Ha. Thanks for the reply. Ill give it a go. Its fun to try new stuff. But that sure would be a tiny sliver of cotton!

If you want big air, good vapor and onboard juice supply, maybe a REO. A dripper that doesn't require dripping or use of a crappy system of supplying juice.
Edit: Someone probably knows of a cheaper, but similar device. I don't, but I'm sure there are other decent bottom feeders.

 

[longhaireddwb]

I found reo mods but no tank style addys

 

[Dan_The_Viking]

You don't need a tank with an REO. It is a dripper with that feeds from the device. They look nifty as hell, but I haven't bought one yet.

 

[longhaireddwb]

Cool!
ill check into it. Thanks.

I would bet that you spilled it, just like I did. First all over my nightstand, and then again in my pants.
You just haven't figured out where it went.

The Kraken remains a mystery to me... I gave up on it after about the 3rd day. The only way I can get it to wick cotton is with the U-wick going into both holes, but I have to leave that 3rd vent hole open to air. Of course, doing that leaves it free to leak all over your pants. It's like an overfilled RDA that never stops leaking.

If I seal it off (so that it's transportable, which is the whole point of having a tank), the damn thing won't wick.

I'd be curious to hear how anyone can make a Kraken simultaneously be sealed from outside air AND wick reliably. If you ask me, leaving a vent hole open in a tank is plain stupid.

..............I'd be curious to hear how anyone can make a Kraken simultaneously be sealed from outside air AND wick reliably. If you ask me, leaving a vent hole open in a tank is plain stupid.

I read somewhere that you can cut the nipple off a juice bottle, plug the hole with it and prevent leaking. Air will go through the small hole but juice won't leak out. Also you can drill a tiny hole in the screw for the same result. Just looking at my juice bottle, I'd think the end would be to big, but that's what I read anyway.

I gave up on mesh really quick. Too much fuss, metallic taste, cooks the juice etc, = just not for me.

To the op: I'd suggest looking at one of the newer kayfun types as mentioned before.

 

[duc916]

A juice bottle nipple? Sad that a tank has to be MacGyver'ed in order to do what all other tanks already do 10x better. I've got 4 Orchids that wipe the floor with pretty much any tank.

And yeah, I watched a few videos of mesh wick building and knew pretty quick I wanted nothing to do with it.

 

[longhaireddwb]

Do you find the orchid goes through a lot of juice? I like the Kraken. Works well for me, it just burns up the juice so fast.

Anytime you are vaping at sub ohm levels or pushing a lot of watts you will BURN through juice. There's no way to get a great vapor / flavor hit without going through it, it's just physics. The harder the hit, the more juice you consume. If you want to keep something for your truck rides (other than a genesis) I would suggest the Lemo or Orchid V4

 

[CloudKick]

Maybe go up on your MG of juice to keep from hitting your device so much

I love my juices at 0.3-0.4 Ω, and like them a lot at 0.7 Ω. My wallet loves them at 0.7 Ω. My wallet wins.
