It does use a little bit of a wider mesh but not enough IMO to compensate for the bigger build area. The original Profile can be bettered by replacing the spring with a stiffer one, that would negate the main benefit of the 1.5.
If I didn’t already have the original and couldn’t find one than I would buy the 1.5. There very close but not close enough to warrant buying the 1.5 to replace the original from what I have experienced thus far.
I used my 1.5 for about a week then shelved it. Didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t near as satisfying. Too much air for my taste.
Yeah the ceramic block is usually maxed out on most peoples profiles anyways. It’s been my opinion that those 6mm Wotofo cotton laces are way too much. I just free hand it using CBV2 with much less cotton. Results improved immediately.
As for the OP, I used to love RDTAs. I haven’t used any in a long time though because I got several squonk mods. I refuse to drip ejuice. I don’t believe dripping gives you better flavor either. If your coil is wicked properly, squonking is just as effective as dripping ejuice. I don’t put much stock in being able to “paint the coils”.
I missed out on that one, thankfully. The combo squonk is the one I have. Prepare to crank that airflow down for flavor. 1 slot half open. She’s a warm one, I can tell ya that, with dual 316SS coils, at .41, 55 watts. The Dota rdta, non squonk is cheap as hell, and never wick it according to the crap directions. No wonder that one wasn’t a winner for Kanger, and it should have been. The rdta version of the subtank. It’s that good.
Has anybody tried one of these vertical mesh rdas like the ceto or the iris? Looks like you can have much bigger mesh surface.
We talked about it a bit a couple years ago…
Yeah looks like I’m 2 years behind the whole mesh thing anyway. I’ll have to dive in a bit deeper though, the Kylin m beats all my converntional coil tanks in flavour and it works so well, no leaking, totally idiot proof to build. The profile is as easy to build but it’s not quite as good as the Kylin m.
RDAs for normal coils were a bit of a disappintment for me, never got the spit back under control so I’ve given up on them until I’ve tried the profile.
Thanks for letting us know. I don’t have it, and thanks to that fact bomb, I won’t bother. There are some sweet ones out there. Honestly, Ijoy’s rdta boxes are the excellent, and yes, I had to go thru and repair a few, more silicone to seal. Now, the Smok skyhook was NOT as good and also had issues…so, meh to that.
How about both? And this little gem is really the first tank to offer mtl/dl without compromising either/or. Many have tried but Vapefly came up with a great design.
I used to think an RTA with a BF pin was silly or redundant, but actually it’s not a bad thing to be able to see how much juice is in the well. My wife still struggles with overfilling (not under-filling anymore now that she’s gotten used to TC), and if she had a visual reference it would help keep her from wetting the mod. But, trying to convince her to give up the Elder Dragon would not be easy…
Well, it can be easy to over squonk the ED. I’ve done it. That problem goes away with a BF RDTA. I’ve used them in the past. A friend of mine started drilling holes in the hollow 510 pns of his regular RDTAs back when RDTAs hit the market. Not all had hollow pins that could accommodate this procedure but I thought his idea was ingenious. He’s a squonk nut, lol. Soon after, the industry started producing this idea. Remember the Nixon RDTA?
Also currently using the Wotofo Recurve with the Faris top. Damn great vape!
I have a Nixon. That reverse threaded cap is a pain LOL Always forgot about that and ended up dropping the cap on the floor more often than not. And it just wasn’t a satisfying vape IMO.
I forgot about that cap. Yeah, it was a pita but I did get a good vape from it. I can’t even remember the build I used but something tells me it was a very small Clapton. Nope, just checked. A 3mm, 26g ss round wire, 5 wraps, legs up and coil close to AF hole and not extending far beyond it in length. Same principle as a Kayfun except for the legs up. Not sure how you can’t get good flavor from an RDTA since they are dripper-like. Not to say that I’ve liked all of them but I was a big Avocado fan. I mainly dropped them because I found the clean up extraneous. The VF Galaxies above just fits my mtl/flavor banger button so I’ll tolerate the clean up.
I got 2 of these, a gamble, I know…but, I’ll get them built and let you know. They split my order up, so these I got first, but there’s an arctic dolphin floating around Singapore with my name on it, since April. I’ve been waiting on an Ultroner since March!!
Looks real similar to the Nixon. I would be interested in seeing how you like it. Hope you get your dolphin. Shipping from Asia is real iffy lately.
I’m on the cusp of switch out cycle, i.e. cleaning some out, building new stuff, different juice, etc. I ended up waiting til I have one functioning and then run around like a crazy lady.
I mostly vape higher resistance high gauge fused claptons in single coil RTA’s and RDTA’s. I prefer a restricted lung hit so juice consumption is pretty low. I tried squonking with multiple mods including the Topside and it wasn’t for me. Maybe it’s just in my head but I swear I can taste the silicone leaching from the bottles. I find that carrying a small bottle of juice and refilling every now and then is not much of a hassle. Of course this is just my opinion so take it for what it’s worth.
I’d have no problem with a big RDTA like the Hellvape Iron Maiden (I used that for several years). But I can’t get the intensity of flavor that I can get from a small RDA. Thing for me is refilling often; it irks me. So I’d need 8ml capacity minimum like the IM had. And nothing real tall either.
The newer Aromamizers hold a ton of juice and have excellent flavor but they are very large.
