ESG Skyline RTA

Skyline is amazing for flavour for me on mid power fruity menthols
I agree with you @Christos and @Rob Fisher

That blue dani haunts me and I am so tempted to join in on the group buy. That group buy thread is painful. But i dont really need it - its just a major major want. And cash is currently tight. Aaaaaaaahhhhh

Agree Silver, Skyline is dope. Have you tried a Dvarw MTL with the 2.5mm air insert. For me the flavour with a good Tobacco or Fruity Menthol is in line if not a touch better than the Skyline.

I picked up a used Skyclone as I was curious, it’s a great atty but the rareness and price takes it down my list as the authentic Dvarw MTL is half the price and they are more easily available.

I actually havent tried the Dvarw MTL @CaliGuy
When it comes to the tanks, I tend to be more of a restricted direct lung vaper.
My MTL takes place mainly on the Reo/RM2 for tobaccoes.

The Dvarw MTL with the air insert pack and using the 2.5mm makes it a tightish restricted DL vape. But the 3mm air insert of the DL is just perfect for me.

Will try and get you to have a go on the Dvarws MTL, maybe a vape meet or definitely at Vapecon. The Dvarw DL and MTL are similar but being a restricted DL fan myself you should enjoy the MTL or if the new 2.5mm insert for DL gives the same restricted vape it’s cheaper than getting the MTL RTA.

Will have to do a back to back test with the new insert to make sure.

Rob I saw KHW released a 2.5mm airflow insert for the DL, need to order one when it’s in stock again, will make the DL like the MTL which is a huge plus and exactly what I’m after.

Pitstop for the mighty Skyline

It needed a new coil. The old one had been in there for many months.

VandyVape superfine NI80 MTL fused Clapton wire. 2.5mm ID. 6 wraps. Came out at about 0.5. I see it’s about 0.6 after pulsing etc.



All wicked with Royal Wicks. Lubed up and ready to go. Juice is Wiener Vape Panama.



Oh my, it’s glorious. The flavour on this Skyline is stunning!! Wow! What a difference the new coil made. The Skyline has such clear and vibrant flavour. For me it’s perfect for fruity menthols. Lovely.

Hi guys

I recently bought myself a clone Skyline and before this I used the dvarw MTL.

I also bought a clone Dvarw DL as I want to make sure when I invest in a authentic RTA I do it with the right RTA.

So after using the Dvarw MTL for a few months and using the Skyline excessively for the last week I have to give my vote to the Skyline. The flavour on both is very close but the Skyline is so much easier to refill and replace a coil.

I tried the dvarw DL for the last 3 days and when I 1st installed a coil immediately got irritated with my big fingers struggeling to get the coil tightened on the Dvarw. This was then also what convinced me that the Skyline is a clear winner for me personally. Takes 1 minute to replace the coil as where the Dvarw take me much longer since my fingers are too big. Also nice not to have to remove the whole atty to refill.

Skyline here I come! Just hope I can find the authentic somewhere...

I find the Skyline is tops for me for flavour @klipdrifter

Such a lovely flavour. Nice and crisp. Excels for me on the fruity menthols in restricted lung hit mode. And lowish power. Only around 20 watts or thereabouts.

I do find the filling a little bit of a schlepp with the juice control then the ring at the top. But considering the great flavour it’s worth it for me.

Big respect for the Skyline

Such great crisp flavour on fruity menthols. High fidelity flavour for me.

Low powered restricted direct lung - no airdisks in - freeflow
Simple VandyVape superfine MTL fused Clapton wire coil.

Super reliable vaping action... and no leaking!

Cleito bubble glass makes the capacity a bit more and the vape is worth the extra hassle when refilling.

What a champ

The purists are coming to tell you off
I dont recall the capacity but last time I tested the gain from the bubble was minimal.
I may just put the skyline in operation tonight if I get a moment later!

Lol, what do you mean about the purists @Christos ?
Hehe
Let them come
This tank delivers for me superbly. The flavour is very good. Lots of treble and decent mid range. Not much bass.
For the fruity menthols its perfect for me with the coil setup. And the power is low - about 18 Watts so its an economical vape.

The bubble glass gets me about 4ml compared to about 3ml of the stock glass.
That extra ml is quite a lot - its 33% more!
I know you mentioned a while back that the bubble glass didnt get you much more capacity - but it works for me like a charm.

Will be great if you set yours up - and put in a juice you know well - let me know how it goes.

Skyline is my favourite RTA. Been using it daily for the last 2 months. Kicks the dvarw's bum by quite a margin!

Skyline is certainly superb @klipdrifter
Dvarw does have more capacity but I find the flavour a bit better on the Skyline and with the Bubble Glass it makes it a bit more practical.
My Dvarw dribbles a bit when I leave it for a while. I have tried lots of techniques but it still does that. Maybe mine has issues. I dont know. But that drives me nuts.

The ones that showed up with pitchforks at Rob’s when he was using the bubble glass

@Silver I have to agree, the Skyline has been my everyday runner since the first group buy. The flavor you get from a restricted draw at 20W and 0.6 coil is second to none on fruity menthol juices. And a solution to the purest sand your bubble tank........ get a second one. Double the capacity

The Skyline has 4ml liquid capacity with the standard supplied glass. Adding the Aspire Cleito Bubble Glass takes the capacity to around 5.5ml.


When using the Skyline Drop Kit you get 1.8ml to 2ml liquid capacity depending on the material used for the tank section. You can use a Smok Baby Beast bubble glass on the DropKit to increase capacity to around 3.8ml.

If you are looking for a cheap coil to run in your Skyline RTA you can give the below Geekvape Tri-Core Fuzed Clapton Wire Spool a try, awesome flavor from this wire and self made coils and so cheap, less than R4.00 a coil.

Coil Spec: 2.5mm ID, 5x Wraps @ 0.50 ohm (22w - 32w)

Me too! Dug mine out! Bazinga!

Full service for the Skyline today! All O-Rings to be changed!

New O-Rings all-round... deep clean... new Ni80 2.5mm Alien... fresh wick and filled with Red Pill! Better than brand new! Still an awesome flavour RTA!

Just a heads up to all Skyline Owners... if your Skyline isn't in operation because you find the juice flow control tight and a hassle then do yourself a huge favour and get a pack of O-Rings from ESG and change them all! I haven't used my Skyline so much for a year or so... I have never had a refill be so painless with the new O-Rings installed. The Skyline has gone back into operation! I'm going to order two more O-Ring Kits for my other Skylines.
