Phone em' tomorrow ... I see they're open Sat and Sunday
Yeah I will, if it doesn’t update tonightPhone em' tomorrow ... I see they're open Sat and Sunday
... specifically in the grey area of "loose MTL / tight DL", and the power levels used
I'd like to hear some "one liner" report backs from the SA forum members who've had the opportunity to try out these new R tanks
Watching closely.View attachment 242322
Firstly, thanks to @Timwis for his review of the Dead Rabbit R which piqued my interest.
I am not doing a review, just my initial reaction.
Full disclosure, I fu&*ed up the first build. It was my own fault, I thought that one of the legs was slightly bent but followed the Jeremy Clarkson school of logic and asked myself what could possibly go wrong? The mod initially read the coil but stopped soon thereafter.
The second build was very easy. It took about the same time to build as a SMRT coil but I am used to those and I'm sure that, given a bit of time, it will be quicker to build on the DR.
I convinced myself that the flavour/taste was even better than that of the SMRT Coil but all new mesh coils are great. In reality, it is probably very similar.
My reason for buying the DR is the following advantages over the Voopoo PnP Tank. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, here it is.
The DR holds 5ml and 6.5ml with the bubble glass whereas the Voopoo holds 4.5ml.
The DR is top-fill with a quarter turn, and the Voopoo tank is bottom fill with one of those annoying silicone plugs.
The DR is SS and glass whereas the Voopoo Tank is SS and PCTG. (Perhaps this is also a negative because the glass could break)
The DR has a removable drip tip.
IMO the DR looks nicer but this isn't a big plus for me although it may be for you.
The DR should be easier to build with fewer bits and pieces to get lost.
The replacement coils for the DR are stupidly cheap at R 6 each whereas the SMRT Coils cost around R 11. This isn't a real factor because R 11 per coil is also very reasonable.
I can't comment on whether the DR coils leak but some vapers say that they have had issues with the SMRT Coils. I do get condensation on the SMRT Coils but you have to remove the tank to fill it and all it requires is a quick wipe.
One issue which may arise with the DR is that the coil wrapping tool comes with the tank. If you lose it I don't know if replacements are available. The SMRT Coil provides a new coil tool with each coil kit that you buy. The DR tool is plastic whereas the SMRT tool is SS.
For me the biggest advantage of the DR is the top-fill.
I'm looking forward to finding out how other members have experienced the DR.
If anyone has any questions just ask.
Maybe when @Puff the Magic Dragon thought better flavour was just placebo due to it being new so willing it to be was incorrect and it does give better flavour looking at those two mesh coils, much more surface area with the R Tank Mesh!
Even so, the much bigger inner diameter will give move surface area, the mesh is just much smaller with the Nexmesh!
Got me a coil pack as well and another on order, still trying to get e decent japanese cotton to rewick
Need to find a supplier of those coils..
Why Google it when he has muggins to do it for him!
Lol compared to a mesh sub-ohm tank it's quiet! You need ear protectors for most of them!
