I like the Red caps! Are the bottles really stiff, or do they have some flex to them?

Those are GREAT RTAs. I bought one, vaped on it, then ordered three more the next morning.

Those appear to be more stiff (they are PET) I personally prefer the LDPE type bottles

@Pap They are PET so stiffer than LDPE. Some of my flavorings from manufacturers are in rather crappy bottles because they donât seal right, making the mixing cave smell like 400 flavors !!! I got two loads of bottles, 20ml for flavors, and 30mlâs for sale. PET is stiffer, but it showcases the color of your juices better, and I believe doesnât allow any permeation through the bottle. Did A/B comparison 30ml juice steeping comparisons between PET and LDPE and I preferred the PET. I still have a large stash of LDPEâs as well.

Are you saying that it seemed that the juice in the LDPE bottles darkened more (faster) than the ones held in the PET bottles that held the same recipe? That would be interesting info if that is correct (not that my juice sticks around very long), but if I was planning some long term steeping mixturesâŚ

@CallMeTut ABSOLUTELY YES !!!
I can re-do the test, and take some pics. I know Iâve seen this done before, but maybe a fresh test would be good.

I was hoping youâd of said no not really⌠your hurting my thinking of LDPE bottles being good lol (not bad, but just as being ok) I was into believing their opaqueness was better for stopping light from getting to the juice inside as opposed to PETâs

@CallMeTut itâs not the end of the world with either of the two types. I had just been curious after seeing some of my mixes really get dark in LDPE, and did a comparison. The PETâs just seem to steep purer, with less permeation than LDPE. From what Iâve read PET is a much better barrier than LDPE. Aagain, I donât think using either is wrong, and PETâs can be harder to squeeze. For flavors, thatâs not an issue as many manufacturers already use them, but for mixes, including my fav. 70v/30p it can be a little more work. Iâve been using nothing but PET 30mlâs for all of my recent testers, and even with 70%VG and needle tips, can fill my tanks with no issues.

First impressions, itâs bigâŚ
The RBA unit is super easy to build on but when you unscrew the base it comes away from the RBA unit, which isnât too bad but can be annoying.
Flavour is on point with the supplied wide bore drip tip, if you like dual, triple or sextuple builds that you can blast at 90w+ then this is an excellent choice.
I run mine with a single coil (adapter not supplied) with a 510 adapter and drip tip (from my griffin), flavour is somewhat subdued from the restricted 510 but Iâm yet to try some other 510âs I have.
All in all a good looking tank with plenty of options. Definitely worth ÂŁ11 imo

The Joyetech Ekee has been a nice performing little backup for me. I think itâs better suited for an MTL type due to the dinky battery capacity⌠But the electronics are definitely rock solid, and I love the 2a charging!
I think youâre going to be pleased!
