So I’ve found my TFV4 sitting more and more. I just like the way the Aromamizer RDTAs taste and perform so they stay atop the two Efusions. Lovely they are. So what else do I use? Hmmm, let’s see the Cube is a piece of crap, so not there. It gets used for testing on a dripper and if that test works, I used the Goblin Mini to vape the new liquid for a shot while. Works out pretty good.
The eVic VT 60w or VTC Mini, one has the Lemo 2 on it, the other the Subtank Mini. The Reuleaux DNA200 has been swapping between the Advken Ohmega and Velocity clone. I decided to use the TFV4 on the eVic 60 and shelve the Subtank. But with the dual 22ga Ti setup on the TF-R2 it takes too long ramp up time.
So I got out the TF-R1 and put in a 6 winding, 2.5mm ID 24 mm titanium single contact coil. I figured why not, I haven’t been using it anyway. Let me tell you, this is the first time since I got the TFV4 that I actually am enjoying the single coil RBA. With my lower power devices it’s killer. I’ve pretty much become like my buddy Pro_Vapes in that I don’t care as much for single-coil RBAs, but they still hold a place in my rotation. I just didn’t think the TFV4 would be among them. I’m starting to also notice just how bulky and out of place the cube looks lately.
Thanks @therabidweasel , I’m a firm believer in “paying it forward”. Sounds like you did right with your Dad.
It all comes back to you eventually.
And yes, my kids know what I do to , I’ve had the boy along on big night moves out of Houston with DOT, police, bucket trucks and pilot cars and got a very tense “OH Crap” out of him.
Next trip the girl just sat there speechless and stiff as a board. Couldn’t help but chuckle at both.
Very proud of them both, but no Hawaii in my foreseeable future, they’re both in collage now…
Hope they have sand pads for my walker by the time I get there
Man that’s an impressive collection!!! very cool.
as a side note I want to thank you, @SthrnMixer and @Pro_Vapes for the tutorial on the “Scottish roll” for wicking. Been using it ever since, works awesome!!
As for the Teflon tape, still working on the “technique” I think. One tank it seemed to fix the leak entirely, second tank still leaked bad and couldn’t get it to fire, had to take Teflon off.
I ended up replacing white rubber and both O-rings, seemed to help a lot only VERY tiny leak after filling. @Alisa must of had good gaskets to begin with. Guess I’m not that lucky.
OK, need some help here. REALLY getting irritated with this leakin’ go’n on here.
Grabbed mod last night with out looking at it and got a big handful of juice, I just filled and set down.
Dumb question time
Do any of you close off the air inlet before refilling?
I tend to over analyze stuff sometimes, could it be that simple?
Then again it could be a reason to buy one or two of those “Aromamizer RDTAs” @SthrnMixer mentioned. Hmm…
I do now. Had that happen twice early on. Filled at night with AF one and woke up to puddles of juice. Thankfully they weren’t on mods eat the time. Haven’t had an issue when filling with AF closed since though. I think it’s moe of an issue on my top fill tank though. Had it happen once on the Crown too.
You’re a trucker right? Are you spending most of your time kinda local or are you going through a lot of temperature and elevation changes? I’m not suggesting that’s the problem only that it could contribute.
Funny you would mention that. Knew you were a smart guy.
Yes, I run 48 states and Canada and I’m also a Private Pilot as a hobby.
Pressure change is a definite factor, I found the hard way.
Whether in flight or crossing a mountain range, sea level to about 3500ft, no issues, over that I have to keep the paper towels handy cause the juice is comin’ out.
I’ve just learned to deal with it.
Just getting pissed when it leaks out after filling when I’m sitting still. Just not sure.
I have never once had my TFV4 leak. But then again, I don’t use the RBA. I use the Quad Coils. I just ordered a second TFV4. Loving the hell out of this thing. But I have yet to get a build I like on that tiny RBA. Anyone have any good suggestions?
I’ve had zero problems building the TFV4 and that is wicking with hemp! (Hemp is a lot less forgiving than cotton, especially on flooding.) The only people I’ve ever heard with issues on a TFV4 are due to over tightening the coil or RBA in the base and distorting that white rubber piece
knock on wood, I’ve had the tank since the back ones came out and never had a leaking issue. It’s a power hog and from a brand I despise. . but no leaks, even when flying commercial.
I already had the dual RBA built with Ti sitting in the box. I forgot all about it. Actually, I don’t remember rebuilding it. It vapes pretty damn good. I need to increase the coil size I think. But I really like it.
It’s a scientific fact that on average women have more manual dexterity than men. So while our hands look the same, mine act more like hooves. But I can build on it too, just takes longer and afterward I have to drink a protein shake
Somehow that reminded me of a dog reaching for stuff - that is hilarious!
