Have you tried any old RTA's?

Every now and then I try to prize myself off the KF lite but so far it's been a useless exercise.

Cheers feeson !! I'll give it a go this evening and let you know how I get on.
It's time I either Vape stuff, pass it on, or scrap items.
I got quite a few UD iGol single coil Drippers in a Clearance sale, as they were the first RDA I bought (affordable, and relatively forgiving to build) and still use them as Testers for new DIY juices.
I did get a Bograt Topcap for the iGol, cheap in a swap, ages ago, and honestly as an RDA it's still a belter.
I'm planning to Mod a couple of iGol to BF, so I should have a new, decent, Squonking Atty for New Year too!

Think I will have to have a root through my stuff, as I have quite a few attys I haven’t used for a long time. Good idea to re-visit the old stuff from time to time...must admit that I tend to only dig out the gennies these days, as mostly happy with what I vape with..

Don't suppose you've got any suppliers for Serpents Cyborg? I wouldn't mind getting a couple of spares!

WOW!! $33+ Postage for a Serpent!!
More woes! The reason I switched from Lemo RTA (which I still think are fantastic!!) to Serpents was the vulnerability of the Glass Tank, yep it's glass not Borosillicate or Pyrex.
I'm a clumsy bugger and drop my Mods on a regular basis (probably why my longest lasting Mod is a Sigelli 100w+) and as I carry them in the breast pockets of my shirts it can be a fair way to fall.
This destroyed my bodged together Lemo, made from bits and bob's from other Lemo's and Lemo Drop bits, over Xmas!!
My 2 Serpents that don't have broken Glass will no longer make a connection to a Mod (I suspect the same type of fall that all my Vaping gear suffers from has caused a bending/warping of the 510 pin)

I fished out an Aromamiser RTA that I got in a "Bundle Buy" with some RDA's that I got on a Classified section of a Vaping Forum earlier this year. I coiled and wicked at my usual 1.3(ish) oHms using Kanthal and a small blue screwdriver id (2.5mm??) wicked using a bit of cotton I found in a random bag from the same "Bundle Buy" and cranked my Sigelli 100w+ all the way to 13watts!!
It's OK. Just OK, not the "game changing super Vape, flavour chasing magic machine" that most reviewers seem to think. s'allright I suppose, but no more than that.

I also have a Digiflavor Siren V1 22mm that I got (probably in the same deal!) that I'm testing out now, and that's nowt to get over excited about either and, from what I'm reading, is prone to sudden and inexplicable flooding.

Both the Aromamiser and the Siren have glass (maybe Perspex, but I doubt it!!) Tanks and so will, invariably, suffer the same fate as my previous glass tanked RTA's.
I liked the kayfun lite. It had a Stainless Steel Tank option, but has become a little restricted in the airflow department as my Vaping style has changed over the last 4 years.
I'm not into huge clouds but do like to increase and decrease the airflow on my Tanks over the day, much as I enjoy going from 13watts to the heady heights of 22 watts occasionally.

Am I asking too much?
A reliable, topfill single coil RTA that can hold more than 4ml (with a TPD compliant extension kit, obviously!) that I can close down as tight as a gnats chuff, yet allow me the option of restricted DL when I want it, whilst offering a robust (Stainless steel preferably) Tank option for under £50

Blimey andyd! This and your other recommendation for the Coppervape Hussar has given me quite a bit of "Screen Shopping " to do!
I shall peruse my many and varied options. Thanks!!

OOO did some one say hussar.
I frkn love mine.
I was late to the party with it as i thought it was just a dual coil cloud machine.
Its my star buy of 2017.
Did I mention I love it.

aha !! i use 70pg 30vg juice,, not a single leak/gurgle/wicking issue
have used a 50/50 and,, boringly it just worked as with the proper 70pg/30vg juice ,,

If you buy the short 2ml tank, do you also need to buy a shorter chimney to go with it? and has anyone tried the full size steam tuners copy tank with this?

yes if you get the tiny tank you need the tiny chimney



but you buy the tiny tank Set , top cap tank/ chimney all together



nope on the ST full size "tower tank" as you cant then use your own 510 dt as you need to use the ST dtiptip which is also the "top cap"




and the ST tiny tank, with tiny chimney also is ST dt/topcap only


you can use a normal 510 driptip With the top cap that comes with the clone hussar, its 510 size ole,,

Im actually looking forward to see how the long tank is filled.
Im presuming you have to take the tank/chimney off and fill it through the juice control holes.
If you take the drip tip off its going to leave the tank section free to wobble about.

Wobbling is what I do best!
But as I struggle to fill a Tank that doesn't move without getting e-juice everywhere then I'd best stick to the basics.
I do like that "Finned" Topcap though so that'll probably go on my wish list!

The Coppervape Hussar Clone, with a few extra bits is looking favourite andyd for me.

I like it when feedback for an item lets me know it'll keep working and working even if I'm not the gentlest in the world with my kit.

I DO have stuff I keep on a shelf, for safekeeping or it's a bit delicate for out and about, but as I Vape the majority of the time out and about, I want ruggedness and reliability over pure form (though I think this Hussar is a nice looking bit of kit!)

Well bugger me!! broke my new year resolution already...just ordered the Hussar and short clear tank kit and long tank clear kit, and some spares, like the 1.3mm airhole plug, and a few spare tanks..Oh and the ribbed top cap. Hopefully it wont be 2019 before i get it.. paid for express Uk post so should be around the 2weeks or so, as its a 5 day wait for some of the parts. Cheap there as well, just £33 for the lot Inc express delivery..
