Great Flavor RDTA or RTA?

@Mofogger you are good, what flavor-chase build would you suggest for my new Velocity (clone) RDA?

I use my goblin mini for low power mods. Such as my old Provari and works really well on lower wattages.

Other than that, I can say that the Aromamizer supreme Lite is amazing. Had it a week now. All the pro’s of the ā€œregularā€ one, and better flavor. The airflow is also smoother/less loud. I like the 23mm size more too, the 25mm is just a tad bulky for some mods, and look out of place. Think I found my dream/perfect tank. :slight_smile:

Even comes with a 5ml conversion kit, so you got a tank size for every need.

@Flavor_Alchemist: I find the flavor a tad more intense and better wicking with vertical compared to horizontal. Kind of a pain to wick though. You also get a lot more room to work with that way, so you can fit bigger ID coils in there. Vertical I have 3.5mm ID fused claptons (and could probably go up to 4mm), horizontal I can go max 3mm ID, and thats kinda stretching it. This is on the Supreme, not the Lite. As I’ve not had enough time experimenting with that one yet, but I do have 3mm ID coils in it at the moment without issues, vertically.

I don’t presume to tell people exactly how to vape but I love that build in everything :yum:

I always land somewhere around 0.2ohms to 0.3ohms
It’s simple, easy to do, quick, gives me a great vape, and fits in just about everything…
That’s my default build right there but everybody has their sweet-spot.

I usually do 7 wraps all the time but sometimes they come out at a little less than 0.2ohms so I’ve gotten into the habit of making an extra 8th wrap if I know the tank will be going on my IPV D2’s. The IPV D2 won’t fire below 0.2ohms

Exact build I run in almost everything. I usually land about .22 ohms. Love it in wattage or TC.

Yup, 0.22ohms is perfect :yum:

I couldn’t get over how clean the flavor was when I upgraded to SS from Kanthal. The flavor was night and day difference.

Also discovered something new a few weeks ago…

I used to ā€œglowā€ my coils when building and always had a metallic ā€œtingā€ on 1st tank during the ā€œbreak-inā€ phase of a new build…

It occurred to me one day… Why the hell am I doing this…? I don’t do this with premade SS replacement coils; why am I doing it to the ones I build…?

Decided to try try a new coil and test it. Made a couple 7 wraps and just wicked 'em up. No preheating or fiddling around. Juiced 'em up cold and let them sit in the tank 5-10minz then broke 'em in slow like it was a premade… 30W, couple puffs - 35W, couple puffs, then 40W, 45, 50 and finally 55W. No ā€œtingā€ taste at all :yum:

Ditto, I started with dry firing. But I haven’t done that in a long time. I don’t see the need with a spaced coil. And I ramp up slowly too. More to make sure I got the wicking right than for the good of the coils.

I love my aromamizer. I have the 7ml supreme now and it is pretty great. I do not exactly like their deck design with that cap piece seperate… But i have worked out a method of removing and putting back on with little/no mess. I tried vertical but was not a fan. I feel like they just wick better having each end over a juice hole instead.

I using
Theorem with clapton (easy clean and rewick)
Serpent mini (easy clean, less parts can use big build)
Avocado 24 (more parts, but tasty and wick need some time to adjust)

First and foremost, I’d say … Get extra decks.
It’s awful when your coil goes out and your just not in the mood to rebuild it. I have 5 Aromamizers and about 10 decks. My favorite tank though is the Smok TF-RDTA. The construction of it is the same as an Aromamizer, but the deck build area is larger than thus easier to build. Also, you don’t have the rubber air hole band, and you’ve got a nice top fill like other Smok tanks, and It also has juice flow control. I also have an Avocado and a Theorem which are similar to eachother. I prefer the Theorem over the Avocado. Both give great flavor, but you are stuck refilling often. The key with wicking Aromamizer type tanks is to lay wick tails lightly on the juice holes. The key with the Theorem and Avocado is to make wicking loose and not so long into the tank. Don’t pack tight wick. I’d say the only fussy thing about building is making your coil large enough to be about .3 or .4 ohms and fit on the deck without shorts (wire touching the chimney). Titanium or stainless steel at about 26 gauge are great at 3mm inside diameter about 8 wraps. Watch some good videos on building. It takes practice. But… as I said, get extra decks to pop in when you need to replace your coil.

I have pretty much always built non-spaced but decided to try some 7-wrap spaced SS316L builds in a couple atty’s over the weekend. They both seem to pop and spit a lot when firing-is that a spacing issue?

In my limited experience, I find that’s more of a design issue than coil issue.

Due to several factors ranging from everything to tank size/height, chimney size/height, airflow method, and more.

For example: I’ve been using the Theorem for months now with the dual airflow ring (only slightly open on both front and rear, but positioned so that the side over the rear that was allowing airflow was directly over the side of the channel that feed the bottom of the plastic piece). Somehow it finally became a bit loose, so I put it back like it had been, and resumed life as normal. I still had the occasional spitting and sputtering, and finally got tired of it one day, so I figured I’d give the single airflow ring another shot.

Once I put the single ring back in, I tried both positions again (to see which suited my style better), and quickly found that it really came alive (almost on par with my Cleito) once I had the front airflow full open! The most noticeable side effect of all of it was no more spitting!! =D The second biggest was a substantial increase in vapor output.

So I can definitely say that airflow plays a major part. Sad part is, most designs don’t have any way to adjust for control of ā€˜directionality’. It’s usually innate to the design.

Also, for the record, I’ve used:

  • the Notch coils
  • Kanthal clapton (spaced)
  • Kanthal clapton (ā€œpinched and tweakedā€)
  • round Kanthal (spaced)
  • round Kanthal (ā€œpinched and tweakedā€)
  • SS clapton (spaced)
  • round SS (spaced)
    In the Theorem.

Definitely have to say that I prefer SS spaced (regardless of whether or not it’s clapton) at this point. Bottom line is, the type of airflow (or rather, the way it’s managed) made the biggest difference in my opinion!

I just got my first Clieto in today. Thought it was ugly, so never wanted to try it. I’ve tried a lot of sub ohm tanks, and this is honestly the best flavor ever! Really happy people recommended it. However, even vaping the .4ohm coil on only 35W, it’s getting too warm for me after just a couple hits. Burning my lips after 3 or 4. I wish they had a delrin drip tip, might stop me from being able to use it long.

Amazing flavor and great vapor production though.

Yeah, there was definitely a period of adjustment for me in getting to know the Cleito. And I even went so far as to try using the tip (which I loved) from my Nautilus Mini on it.

Problem is, it’s the ā€œusual nonsenseā€ with Aspire (at least, as I’ve come to understand it in all my reading/research) in that their drip tip connection is just off enough that standard tips don’t fit (just ever-so-slightly loose). The Nautilus Mini tip did fit perfectly, however, with my chain vaping tendencies (at an average of 7s each pull) that metal tip transfers heat all too willingly (of course).

Only thing I can offer is, other than adjusting the way you use it (which is what I did), perhaps you’ll get lucky and find someplace that sells reasonably priced friction-fit tips (which is what I had to do for the Theorem).

will friction tips fit it you think?

I’ve got some 510 fit and friction fit drip tips from Cherry Vapes and both fit fine in the Cleito. They just make it look extra tall because of the nub that holds on the default tip.

Has anyone tried out the SS coils for it yet and if so how were they?

If you find the right one, absolutely yes
(just swapped the one from my Theorem onto my Cleito, to verify before I replied).
Sadly, I can’t link you to the one I have, because the local shop that I bought it from doesn’t even have it listed as being available (on their limited online presence)

Link please? =)
I need some more anyways, as I only have the one.
