My first dripper and can only compare with the much maligned Kanger ST minis and nanos that I like.
Quality is quite nice, everything is as it should be. The positive pin protudes slightly so it sits a wee bit proud of the Istick, I tried screwing the pin in but it seems like it is against a hard stop so won't go in any further, I can probably fix that though, but will hold off to see if another big mod has the same issue. Vernier gauge says 0.8mm gap between atty base and top of Istick.
It comes with 2 sets of slot grub screws and a set of hex (1.5mm key) grubs along with 2 spare sets of sleeve o-rings. The tips are pretty big, smallest 11mm od, medium is about 14mm, the big one is a gob stopping 16.5mm. The delrin isolator works very well to keep the small tip cool.
Two sleeves, copper and black aluminium (?) for cosmetic/fashion matching.
The deck is pretty spacious and, to me anyways, very easy to get to grips with. I threw the 2 basic coils together fitted, checked them on the meter, and wicked them in about 10 minutes using a kuro style coiler. The simple coils fired up nice first time and take about 1/2 a second to glowing at around 40-50 watts. Not bad seeing as this is the first time I've ever had my hands on a dripper.
You can run single or dual coils on it and can set the air holes to suit either.
So comparing with subtank nanos and minis that I use....
Flavour is pretty good, seems better than the STMs and based on similar coil arrangements, 0.5 - 0.8 ohm spaced coil, my standard fix for OCC and RBA decks. Vapour volume is huge, rich, and dense. Air flow is as much as I could ever want at full open, I have it set at around 1/3 open and using the smallest tip at moment, to suit my normally airy preference for lung hitting, and normally have my subtanks set at full open. I need to get used to the change in vapour volume and density, but have plenty more adjustment to play with, and options to accommodate me.
Its an entirely different vaping experience from the subtank. I'd say the step change is similar to going from my original Emow to the subtank experience.
For me this one is a keeper, 40 odd quid is reasonable, but I wouldn't be averse to suggesting trying a clone if you can find one. I got mine from Hog Vaping, ordered saturday, arrived monday to rural Aberdeenshire, stress free ordering process and good comms from them.
I'm looking forward to trying some more exotic and adventurous builds, but I think I will be limited by my my current mod, so might need some more shiney in my life. Your Sig 75 TC looks like a hot favourite at the moment, for any number of pretty obvious reasons, judging by reviews and real user postings.
On another note, I got a couple of newer (subox style "Mini RBA Plus") revised RBAs for my subtanks last night. I stuck a quick dirty wick of the stock 0.6 coil that came with it and had a hard hit session through about 4ml of 60/40 juice at higher than my normal wattage over the course of the evening.
I couldn't get it to burn or dry hit so am very pleased with those. I'll be running some max vg through another one today to see if it can keep up, but so far its doing very nicely. First impressions are that I like these over the OCCs that have been my go to for the STMs.
Kanger have even upped their threaded machining quality! The top cap of the RBA feels nice and smooth screwing it down. |
