What's In Your Hand Today?

This is what I'm rocking today. Tiny little RDA, €7 happy days. Perfect for the weekend ahead... Vapes nicely great flavor, cloud a lil small but for the price can't complain.

That looks like the A7 rda aka the Octopus,good cheap dripper,I had one about 5 years ago,it had 8 silica wicks.
Nice to do some retro vaping :D

Yes it is, I took out the octopus and recoiled and re wicked it. LOVE IT, Perfect for a night out.

Know any nice retro mods that could make it even smaller?

I had one of those too, my first dripper. Grand little yoke it was too.

I customized my one by blocking the airhole at the bottom of the deck & top cap & then drilled a 3mm hole further up the top cap so it was facing the coil.

The BestShop still sell retro mods http://www.thebestshop.eu/shop/vv-mods/315-kamry-k101-r-scope-telescopic-mod.html

Have a look down the bottom of the list under VW Mods,he has a few different ones,I still use 2 of these sometimes http://www.thebestshop.eu/shop/vv-mods/286-kamry-k100-mechanical-telescopic-mod.html they are a great mech mod,these are telescopic,so an 18350,18490,18500 & a 18650 battery will fit these.

And they can take a "Kick" as well...

Great idea, Have noticed some liquid squirting out of the air hole one or twice alright. And MY Goodness is that stuff hot!!!

Like the look of those mods but will be a few weeks before I get one.

Thanks for the info. Just learned what a kick was

Whats in my hand today ? , The Serpent Mini that I ordered from China last Friday, for less than 20 quid .

My god is it easy to build on and easy to use, flavour is great if a bit warm for my liking, no leaks . I wouldn't be a big fan of the drip tip but I just swapped in one of my own . All in all very happy with it .

New arrivals...

Tesla Nano and Theorem (next to Nebox for scale)

What's the verdict on the Tesla ?
Thinking of getting either the istick pico or a tesla nano

Early days but it's certainly solid. I reckon you could chuck it off a cliff and it would be just fine. I'm a fan of high capacity batteries too so it ticks that box just fine (much like the Evic VT).

Nice clicky buttons too..the fire button is nice and chunky.

The only downside is the charge port being on the bottom.

Can't comment on the Pico.

I have 2 Tesla nano's. It is really heavy amazing build quality, and the best looking battery I own, and I own a lot.

Thats my problem. Much prefer the look of the Nano but never leave the house without a spare battery.

Wismec Reuleaux RX75 has the kind of 'step down' design like the Pico. Comes with a tank or express. Removable 18650, pretty order on the Chinese sites. Looks nice anyway.

A mini volt v2 is coming out too. Built in battery though, small enough capacity.

I don't like the flappy door design, I can just see me breaking it off somehow. I think it would irritate me over time either way.

Innokin Coolfire IV TC 100, Geekvape Avocado 24, Highgarden

Liking the Avocado 24? Mine's been great, not a leak or dry hit all week

Yep, although only using it 30 mins or so. Its very smooth.

I used some fibre freaks for the first time, not sure I like it. In the pad version at least. Flavour is great, but I think its a little harder to wick with than organic cotton.

What build are you using out of curiosity? I've a dual Clapton, coming out around 0.3 ohms. It takes a lot of power though to get it going.

I might do a SS build in it.

It looks great on the coolfire. Its a bit convoluted taking it apart though.

I have taken it apart a few times now to clean, when changing juices, Ive switched the glass and o-rings too, the insulator ring that people seem to worry about jut stays put on mine. Which is great, I only need worry about the 2 main gold pins. I find it effortless enough Will rarely have to do that.

All mine just fell to bits haha, and I hadn't watched any reviews or anything. Ah its not too bad, still easier than a tornado :v

Yeah I have the wicks coming down to just above the bit where the top and bottom screw together. The fibre freaks wicks and keeps up fine. Its just not as malleable (if you can use that word for wick material).

My 3FVape package finally came today with the No Name No Pity clone, cutters and ohm meter:




The clone came with 2 caps, 2 different Allen keys, 2 spare grub screws, 4 spare o rings, 2 coils and even a 4mm coiling jig, not bad for only $9.99!

Here's how the deck looks inside:




The larger Allen key is for removing the electrical contact underneath as it's a hex screw.




Here's what both caps look like, both have the same round holes you see on the opposite side:




I have to say the cap on the right gives the perfect amount of airflow when fully ooen! Possibly due to having the round airhole above the coil.
The cap on the left gives a much tighter draw.

Also notice how the extra drip tip has no cylinder to put your mouth around?
Pretty strange if you ask me, I wonder is it more of a cap than anything.

There's only 2 cons I have for the unit, the 2 o rings go inside the caps and can be a bit tricky to get in as they appear slightly bigger, it takes a knack to get them in, I'm not even sure how to describe it.

Also the RDA Is not flush against the mod as you can see in this photo , I think it's the contact that is not level :




One more peculiarity is this little thing next to the coiling jig that came with it. It is threaded on the inside and a grub screw will fit into it but I have absolutely no idea what it's supposed to do!





Its definitely the easiest deck I've used to build on for a single coil. The only thing that would make it easier to build on is if it only had 2 posts making it a dedicated deck for single coil builds. That way it would be much easier to push a coil in without having to maneuver it above the posts on the opposite side.

Also the juice well is really deep, much deeper than my Velocity clone.

If anyone is looking for an upgrade from the velocity then I would definitely recommend the No Pity.

I have a pair of those cutters too. They really are excellent.

I would have thought you would have gotten a Doge RDA :v

Yeah the handles are much thicker than I expected them to be!

Haha, I wish the Doge RDA had the same style deck as this, then I could "wow" all my friends!

iStick Pico, Nautilus X, Extreme Menthol (Too extreme for me, can't vape it)



iStick Pico, Kayfun Mini V3 Clone, Nut Juice



Pico is ok, for the price it is great. Not a fan of the fire button, the buttons on the bottom or the way you close in the battery

Doge wrote: »

How's the "nut juice"? :pac:

Very nice. Always came highly recommended on here.

EGriff wrote: »

How's that kayfun mini? I swore I was done with rebuildables but the flavour from most MTL standard coils is kinda rubbish.

Plus I have about 100 prebuilt coils I got off FT to use up, and bags of cotton.

Yeah, excellent. I get the odd little blob of juice through the airflow after refilling, even though I shut off the juice flow while refilling. I might put a small bit more wick in next time, one of the holes was barely covered so I imagine that was it.

I can't judge if the nautilus X is any good due to the extreme menthol, my reaction is like getting a huge dry hit, but its not, its just the flavour of the juice. I don't know how anyone vapes it. The kayfun is lovely anyway, so might just sell on the nautilus (and maybe the pico :pac: )
