Serpent Mini 25 dual coil vs Reload RTA

[AlphaDog]

@AlphaDog seems this has been covered extensively

My 2c, they are in different classes, simply due to the size if the chamber the SM25 is optimised for simple economic builds where the reload seems to targets higher wattage/airflow/fat exotic builds

Bare in mind i haven't used a reload / any RTA since Feb

My usage with the SM25 is big dual 3mm fused clapton coils, vaping at 70w or so. This is why i wanted to see what people who might have both the SM25 and the Reload rta have to say.
With that said, i have ordered the reload and am eagerly waiting on delivery.

Anyone in cape town buy from throat punch? My order still says "unfulfilled" and i completed the order around 9am this morning. Wouldve thought that it'd be dispatched by now...

My item got to me the day after placing the order (PTA though). I'm sure it should be on the way to you already.
Maybe we can just get Mr @Throat Punch himself to comment on the status of your order?

Please do share your personal experience of the SM25 vs Reload here once you've had some time with the unit.

Will do! I have a fresh 5 wrap fused clapton build in the SM25, will let it sit until the reload arrives. I'm probably going to install 6 wrap caterpillar track coils in the reload rta though. Already have it all planned out lol. Excited!

Sjo, that sure is pretty!

You are going to have a ball with the Reload

Hey @AlphaDog, just checking to see if you've received your Reload yet?

Hey bud, nope - it should arrive in cape town tonight and dispatched to me tomorrow according to TheCourierGuy waybill tracking. Will post my thoughts on it once I've used it for a day or two

Shot dude, happy to hear it is not MIA. I look forward to reading your impressions.
Obviously an immediate update in the vape mail thread is an absolute must once you get it

Will do! As usual, I'll probs pop open the packaging in the office tomorrow. Even my non vaping colleagues get in on the unboxing action lol

Haha I know the feeling man. Half the office starts repeating "whats in the box whats in the box" when I get packages at work

Is there anyone out there that has/can comment on the serpent mini 25 with the dual coil deck versus the reload rta? Everytime i vape on my serpent, with just the right build and just the right wicking, it just blows me away. I have an ammit dual, two Aromamizer supreme v2's, a limitless classic rdta, and the OG Aromamizer 22mm rta - and the serpent, flavour wise, is just fantastic. I'm wondering just how the much hyped reload compares.

All I have is a S.M.-22 but I also have the ammit single and reload and find the flavor great in all.The Reload has real good flavor IMO. I personally love the Aromamizer plus.

Very happy. Busy getting to know the Reload...

Very very nice dude! It looks stunning on the Therion and I'm loving those coils.

Yeah, that wire doesn't fit in the coil jig i have, so have to hand wind it on a 3mm bit. So it doesn't come out perfect as it's difficult to work with. However, I'm preferring spaced coils at the moment as there are never hotspots. Got the wicking right first time as well. Oh, i swapped out the grub screws with high tensile ones straight off the bat...

I'm impressed with the flavour, it beats the ammit dual and the serpent.

Need to get used to the feel of my lips touching the knurling on the top cap though lol

The Therion is fantastic, the battery life is superb with Samsung 30Qs. Very pocketable shape as well. Get one bud.

Holy shhheeeet

I hardly ever use coil winding jigs. I prefer the manual wind, unless the wire is super simple round wire.

I'm glad you are impressed with the flavor. Apparently the wicking is easy (I'm the only one that struggled).

Yeah the knurling is very noticeable initially. I got used to it very quickly but I'm looking for other tips. I have an order that has been sitting somewhere in SA since 2017-07-12 :|

Right. So I've come to the conclusion that.... The reload rta....

Is the best RTA I've ever owned. I can't fault it. There's just no cons. It just gives me so much enjoyment that I'm probably going to buy another one, or perhaps the entire colour collection when they are back in stock.

I'm really happy to read about your positive experience. I've not experienced a lot of RTA's before getting my Reload so I'm probably not as appreciative as most.
All I know is this thing is fantastic. It probably does a lot of things right that I didn't even know could be done wrong.
I'm happy to say that my rewicking went well first time around. It took me a couple of tries to get a handle on it initially (I'm still super noob) but I seem to have a method that works for me.

The only thing that I'm keen to try is some different tips. Vapecon shall provide!

To be honest, i bought a fancy Goon compatible tip that I'm using on my ammit dual and i actually prefer the stock Reload tip. Save your money bud.
