I think it is. My quest for the rusty chalice is over! Praise jeebus!!! :giggle:

The flavor is really good and only spits if over squonked. Otherwise it's a fantastic vape.

I squonk after I take a hit, so that when I pick it up it’s already primed.
Seems to alleviate any spitback altogether.
 
I was enjoying this RDA until the post snapped. I haven't had it a week.

Hoping they replace it. :oops:

I don't get spit back even when I juice it into the coil. Must be the build I have in there. [on Furyan]
 
:eek: Holy shit that does look thin there, how hard were you wrenching?
Not hard at all, I couldn't even fkn believe it when it happened... I just stared at it in quiet existential disbelief at how utterly dumpster fire my life has become. The other side doesn't have this issue but the post above it does. I think that it's just some shotty machining on the one half of the pipe design? I don't know. FML.

I emailed the distributor and Reload last night but no reply back from either today.

:confused:

Can you show us the post above that has the same issue?

I don't have the best camera, but you can sorta tell here how post above is already bulging. If that gets tightened at all it looks like it's gonna snap as well. I think there's just something messed up with the left side posts on mine. The right side isn't like that at all. :(

Did you check the authenticity code?

I see that bulge at the top. On the bottom it sorta looks like the piece that pushed through is, hollow looking? I just built mine and would rather not lake it apart. so while you have yours out, can you back a screw out of the other post and see if that part of the post is as thick as it looks from that top view? Or if it gets thinner where the screw meets the post...
Did you check the authenticity code?
Good question. I just assumed he got it from ReLoad. Still should check though

As far as I can tell there isn't one on the Reload box, just a sticker in the top right that says "S". The only serial number I can find is on the bottom of the deck labeled "6325".
Somewhere on or in the package should be a query ot number code. Might be on a card. @f1r3b1rd did yours have a code?

Mine didn't come with paperwork, it's just the metal box and inside is the foam cutout for the atty and screwdriver and under is extras n stuff. :huh:
I can't find any info about an authentication code for this atty, not even on the unboxings on yt. May not have one. Kindbright has come out with the clone, I'd load up a pic or video and compare it with yours.

There is no link on the reload usa site to authenticate which is odd these days.
Psyclone mods was the same with my citadel

I also got mine from there. They emailed me back and said they'd replace it after I shipped it back for inspection.
They are a good solid vendor. Been buying from them for 6years now and have zero complaints

Well for the cost of the atty I'd ship it back but would ask for reimbursement for the cost. Hopefully they step up and make it right. Please let us know how it plays out.

I have the paperwork that came with, but it's not in the box :gaah:
Maybe I don't have paperwork if it didn't come with it, and that's why its not right here at my station. I bought it from ReLoad.

:cheers:
Nice setup.
When I get on that atty it's hard to put it down. The only reason I haven't picked it up in a couple days is it needed cleaned/wicked and I been checking out the new little RTA.
It is hard to put down! It just got even better when I changed from a tri-core 26/36 fused Clapton to a framed staple. The flavor is really popping now!

The spit back only happens when I over squonk but it's minimal and user error. ;)
 

KingPin!

In my defence, I was left unsupervised ^^

Gonna be a tooling tolerance thing probably off by more than 0.5mm caused it to be too thin at that part ...wanna see a top down from some of the others here see if there’s are thicker at the post sections...could just be a unit defect that slipped through the QA net


Even the other side looks off as though that post is milled with a slight curve in it as supposed to flat

If other people report same thing be interesting to see if the serial numbers are close and colour variants as to whether it’s a batch run problem
 
I got my replacement today. Finally done with work and am vaping it again. Very nice! :)

Can I see some pictures of the builds y'all are putting in here?

I use mech.
I must have a coil with different core size than I was thinking. I'm at .33 and suspect I'm low 50ish watts on a full charge.
Can you wick it tighter without choking it?

I just wicked mine. And now I'm not sure what alien is in there because it's 5 wraps. I'm sure it's 3id/.33 though.
I'm not getting any spit back. I have it this low.

Using CBP I have it firmly snug in the coil. A good fluff of the tails, and thinned them a fair bit top & bottom. I cut it about there and when tucked in its touching the deck but not laying in there. While my well looks like a lot of cotton, it's thinned, fluffy, and short.

Hope that helps.

It did. I needed to put more cotton in. It doesn't help that I don't own a Coily so I'm using the width of my sleeved usb cable to snap the legs. It would have been cool had Reload included something to determine the proper height to which the coil should sit. I'm still getting a little spit back but it's not as intense as it was. Burned the begeezus outta my tongue. I just need to experiment with different coil setups and see what works best for me. It's helpful to see what all everyone has in there right now. Thank you!

Coil tool can usually be bought for 10-15.00. Many also use a hex short arm to measure with. I'm sure you can just find something around the house to use, just bend a paperclip to the right length for example .
 
What's the length you are cutting the coil guys? I find this atom really good with all the fruity liquids but not that good with creamy. Maybe it's my coil positioning that isn't good

No idea about the leg length. I just keep trimming the legs until I get the coil set where I want it.
 
Been spending a lot of time trying to find the best way to run this thing. I picked up a Coily tool and found that the best cut is at the "5" setting. I think setting the coil too low in the chamber was causing a lot of spit back for me. I've set the coil just a little higher than the half-pipe and with this setup I get no spit back and a thicc, flavorful vape at 75 watts.

My only complaint now is another QC issue it seems because the RDA doesn't sit flush with my mod. I don't know if I can fix this, someone smarter than me would have to say.

This thing has kinda been a big pain in my butt... But whatever. It's doing okay now and I'll just live with it.

Do other Attis sit flush? It looks like either the atty is on a slight angle or the mod is shaped a little rolled in front. The back side looks flush
