I have a tsunami clone but haven't built it yet. I was going to build a 6x.4n80 wrapped in 40k or was thinking about framing it with 26n80. I might still build the coil but only throw a single and not a double into the tsunami. So how it goes.
That's where I got my personal boreas from. Going to be uploading a video to our channel soon featuring it and another for the alleria. I'm a big fan of bottom airflow so I was skeptical about the boreas, but it has pleasantly surprised me. Actually talked to augvape directly about these two and my channel, but they gave me a strange reply then never answered..lol
Lol, thanks, I appreciate it. Was just confused by the entire email exchange..
Burned up how?
Circuit heat protection fail! No good at all.
Shit i was actually eyeing this mod, did it just burn up all by itself or did you get liquid spilled inside?
That is my problem with the alleria. I empty the tank way too quickly. That is why I want the boreas. The huge capacity and everyone saying it is a great vape with flavor Better than the GriffinI stand corrected, not the first time I've been wrong and I'm sure it's not going to be my last
But it's still a great little atty, just wish it held as much juice as the Boreas, as the way I've been vaping it the juice disappears extremely quickly
I'm interested to hear/see what is different. How long ago did they start asking this improved version?
I wish, my tank only shows the sides of the posts and not the coils. If I have it show the coils, it seeps a bit. I have to get that extra quarter turn.
Same here. I'm filming for the channel with this right now and was just curious if it was just me. I've gotten it to be 3/4 in the right place by changing the position where I start screwing it in, but not perfect and still screwed in all the way. I know it's nitpicky, but one of the reasons for the glass is to show off the build..
If you're tightening it and then adjusting some and tightening more, aren't you kind of locked in to where the threads will end up taking it?
Hmm. Maybe I'm just picturing what you're saying wrong, I'll have to try it
I will have to play with it and see what I can get.
Let me know how it turns out for you. I'm excited to try it.
Thanks for the comparison, wish I knew they were updating it I would have waited for the new one.Sorry it took a while, got wrapped up in other shit and then had to take apart and clean the first Alleria for the pics.
So, youll see in the pics the difference. What you cant see is how much smoother the threading all is. The original Alleria I got (referred to as #1 from here on out) had such bad threads that it felt like you were rubbing sandpaper together when screwing it together. Even worse than that even, it was BAD. On the new one (referred to as #2) the threading is smooth. Its still not super butter smooth, but its definitely not bad or even close to how it is on #1.
You can see in the pic below you can see #1 on top and #2 on the bottom. The picture doesnt do justice to how deep and sharp the serrations are on #1s "grips" on the top and bottom pieces, but believe me, they are SHARP. They cut my hand up something fierce the other day when the top cap got stuck. They were terrible. On #2 you can clearly see they have nicely rounded off the grips into a circular shape. They are totally smooth and nice. No more cut up fingers! Plus they added that another row of grips onto the second unscrewable piece (that top section is 3 peices) to make it much much easier to get the top cap off the juice holes. Awesome.
About the only thing negative about #2 is that the post holes look just a little tiny bit smaller than on #1, which might effect you if you like to use fancy wire, but lets be honest, you werent gonna fit framed staples on #1s deck or post holes either.
Next pic is more of the same. They replaced the sharp boxy grips with the smooth rounded off ones on the build deck base/airflow adjuster.
Last picture is the build deck itself and the airflow holes. #1 is on the right and #2 on the left. You can kind of see #1s airflow holes are jagged and sharp looking. There are a lot of razor sharp burrs sticking up and out on #1s deck and airflow holes, it was very poorly machined. It just looks like total shit in person, like something youd get out of a bubblegum machine.
On #2 it looks like they took more time with it and focused on it because the airflow holes are cleaned up and theyve put an angle on the edge so its not a 90 degree corner anymore from the build deck to the inside of the airflow hole. Much smoother and no more burrs or sharp edges or corners.
Altogether they did good. The first Alleria I got functioned perfectly, but those sharp edges and burrs and shitty threads just made me not want to use it they were so bad, so now that they cleaned it all up and changed the grip points, its an amazing tank in all aspects. Super super happy with the new one.
Gotta give a big huge shout out to Subtank Supply. The guys there are fucking awesome people with great customer service and actually care about who they sell to and the product they sell. Cant speak highly enough about them. If you need or want any tanks, definitely go to them first. Youll be happy you did if anything ever happens to go wrong with it.
No doubt, I hear you there! They aren't making any changes to the boreas are they?
If they do add some knurling or notches it’ll be nice for some but I’m glad I got in on the first batch, I just love the clean stainless look.
This is what I did my Griffin. First got it, I couldn't get the top cap off easily. Little juice to lube and been fine ever since.
So does this mean the Merlin will be a DL/MTL rta? I'm mostly MTL so I would absolutely love to see a nice, lower profile, single coil RTA that you can build up or down, depending on your mood! Another thing to consider is the TFV4 micro idea of accessories for extending the chimney and increasing the juice volume. I have the TFV4 micro and honestly, it is one of my favorites. I only use the RBA and it is great for MTL, I dropped in the 0.3 ohm coil just because I could and created my own weather front for a while (actually until my wife started to open all the windows) and then I went back to the RBA. Please keep us posted, I will pre-order, buy, review, whatever is needed to get this going.
